Idvd missing from my mac

I purchased a Mac OSX Version 10.4.1 about 3 years ago but did not get the super drive and settled for the combo. Big mistake, but too late. Anyway I want to burn my movies now and was told I could buy an external DVD burner like Lacie but I cannot find idvd anywhere in my mac. Isn't it supposed to be in the mac, regardless of whether it was a super drive or not? How can I get it installed and is that all I need to use a Lacie to burn my movie projects?

Like. PT said, you can use Pacifist to install iDVD. If some version of DVD is not on one of your insall disks (I"m almost certain iDVD 2 was on the Panther install disks), you can find iDVD 4 on iLife '04 & iDVD 5 on iLife '05.
Pacifist is a great program & well worth the $20 shareware fee. The developer is very responsive to any problems with this program.

Why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?

why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?
I always enjoyed speccing up machines that i will one day upgrade to.

TS4196 Messages app is missing from my Mac. What happened?

Pretty sure I used it earlier this week.
If I recall, I had a beta version. I THOUGHT I paid a modest fee, like $1 for it later. But now, it is missing from my Macs.
I DO have it on my iPod Touch.
But there was not announcement about it being removed from my mac. And I can't find anything on Google about it.

You are correct that Messages was in Beta. However, it was free. If you paid for it, it wasn't from Apple. As for it disappearing, Apple may have removed it in an update or you may have deleted it. Either way, I do believe that the final version of Messages will appear on both Lion and Mountain Lion.

Transfering idvd themes from one Mac to other

Hi all
I was trying to transfer my idvd themes from my Macmini into my G4 and it didn't work. It asked me to install idvd again but my copy of Tiger didn't install idvd for some reason. I have OSX 10.4.10 installed.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks
Web dude

Archive is really only important if you've done any copying and pasting between projects, OR you have used non-standard (Third Party) loops (I should have added that to my third party list, good catch, iSteveus).
If you're only using loops that came with GB, you'll still be fine with just copying the projects as is (are).

Idvd missing from my new macbook

I just made a movie in imovie and idvd is not on my new mac. I'm using Lion.
Thanks

That's right, Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
1) Buy iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon. Make sure it is a version that has iDVD. Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
2) Try a third party application.
Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
Easily Burn Movies to a DVD without Apple's iDVD. - http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/easily_burn_movies_to_a_dvd_without_apples_idvd. html - directions for using Burn to make a TV DVD. Note, Burn also has a separate application which lets you do more fancy menus.

ILife missing from new mac!

Hello there
I've just got my brand new Mac - literally just 10 mins ago, and thats me all set up. I bought it online from a UK retailer, and although it was refurbished, it was advertised that it would include iLife
"Includes iTunes, Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools and more
Includes iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand and iWeb)"
However, the machine doesn't include this whatsoever, and was wondering what I do?
Thanks

Return it to the retailer and make them show you where the files are. If they cannot, get your money back and then buy directly from Apple.
There are a number of posts around here about so-called "new" Macs that turned out to be 1-2 years old. The thought is that some resellers--typically not Apple Authorized ones--get new but out-of-date machines (returned overstock, for example) and wipe the hard drive to reinstall a later OS. This takes out the pre-installed programs. You should consider reporting the firm to Apple if you find they are doing this switch-a-roo selling.
You can enter your serial number here:
Check Your Service & Support Coverage
and that might help determine if Apple still sees the computer in warranty. Some people with similar third-party vendor issus like you describe have entered their serai lnumber to find they have no warranty coverage.
Apple products are in high demand; that brings out those things that live under rocks and eat slime for a living.

Missing from new mac mini

The hard drive on my old mac mini went out so I got a new one this week. I've noticed two things about my new one that concern me. I can't display the date in the menu bar. I can display the day and time but not the date. Also my new mac mini didn't come with any software to do word processing, spreadsheets, etc. I had a lot of old files using Appleworks 6 but it is not supported on Leopard. I was told by an Apple rep last night that you can't display the date anymore and that you have to buy new software to do word processing,etc. Is this correct?

The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:

a similar alternative is OpenOffice:

There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

Wifi Music Sync missing from my Mac Desktop Manager

I have Mac Desktop Manager v2.0.4 which, according to everything I have read online, should have the Wifi music sync feature under Device options:Media tab. Yet, mine simply doesn't have it.
Any thoughts about why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Steve

I have the same question too.

Text missing from menus and icons

Can anyone help? All the text is missing from my Mac Mini! Every menu in every application and on every icon: there is simply no text. My computer is completely unusable!

Hi.
Try booting into Safe Mode, by holding the Shift key at startup (right after the chime, and until the gray screen with the spinning gear). It will clear the system fonts cache, and run the fsck command (repair the boot volume).
Good Luck.

Custom email boxes missing from mail

I had a notes section under mailboxes in mail. Within this notes section I had several named mailboxes that I used to store various emails. They are now missing from my mac when I converted to Maverick. I still have them on my iPhone. Any suggestions on how to retrieve them? Thanks for your help.

It was really a Notes folder, not really a section. I opened notes and did not find it. Here is what it looks like on my iPhone. I am missing all of the folders below "Notes".
Thanks so much for your help.

Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
Thanks!

Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
