IDVD ' 'No Themes Are Installed'

When I try to open my iDVD on my iMac I keep getting a message saying 'No themes are installed'. When I do a spotlight search for 'Themes' I get an iDVD themes.pkg and when I click on it it simply says 'no themes are installed'. If I navigate to my themes folder and click on any theme the same message appears.
As an aside, when I click on GarageBand it tells me my 'instrument library is invalid'.
Any help, much appreciated.
Mark.

Thanks for your reply Karsten.
I have another slight problem: I don't have an iLife disc. I don't think one came with my machine. All I have is a Mac OSX install disc 1 and 2. Is iLife on one of these discs do you know? And if I click install I am told that I already have a newer version of OSX on my machine (I suppose since I have been installing updates from apple.com). I understand I could install the 'older' version and then re-update it, but if I install OSX from these discs will I lose my saved files, my photos and college essays etc?
I am new to the world of Mac.
Mark.

Idvd 08 themes are gone, it won't open. Where to get themes?

idvd 08 themes are gone, it won't open. Where to get themes?

Need more information. Did you have all the themes previously? Did you do any updates/upgrades since you last had the themes? If so what updates/upgrades?
Look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder to see if there are theme folders in there. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder (if there is one).
You can reinstall iDVD and themes using the disks that came with your MBP. It will possibly look like #4 in this screenshot:
Do a custom install and install the app and any support files, i.e. themes.

When I try to print pictures from Iphoto 11 I get a message saying no themes are installed and I cannot print. This never happened on previous versions of iPhoto.

When I try to print photos in Iphoto 11 I get a message saying there are no themes installed and it will not let me print. This never happened in previous Iphoto versions and there is no link to get themes. How can I get these themes?

Reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

[Solved] openbox - icon themes are installed, but no icons display

I think I am missing something here! I have thus far installed openbox, gdm, lxappearance and pcmanfm. The only icon set that i can get to work is the "Tango" set from the repos. The pre-installed "hicolor" font doesn't even work.
I will attempt to describe what is happening in as close detail as I can (but like I said, I think I may be missing something). I download the theme, extract it to ~/.icons and it shows up in the list in lxappearance. In the lxappearance preview, there are no icons, just the sample filenames. If I select that icon theme, sure enough, pcmanfm loses its icons. I have tried svg and png themes. "Black and White" is a png theme that doesn't work, but so is Tango which does.
Like I said, this affects the preinstalled "hicolor" icon set as well, so it is not a /usr/share/icons vs ~/.icons issue as far as I can tell. I have downloaded and installed 2 icon themes and both display the issue. The only icon theme that works is from the repo, but there is a really limited selection in there so I would like to figure this out.
Thank you
JTS

I found something, but I don't know if if it relevant. Each of the icon packs is filled with folders with both image files and symbolic links. The symbolic links are to images in the same folder. All of these links are broken according to the "file" command. Why would all of the symbolic links be broken when the targets are clearly there? I think this may be the issue since many of the missing icons seem to be broken links.
Edit: I just looked at my other two machines and none of those links are broken. This could be a sign of a bigger problem if all of the symbolic links on the machine are going to be broken. What could cause all of these links to wind up broken like that? I may start another thread if I can't find any info.

When trying to print a photo I get an error that themes need to be installed. I checked and themes are installed so what now?

I am on my MacPro desktop. I am using iPhoto vdrsion 9.2.3.
While perusing my photos, I click one and attempt to print the photo (Cmd P).
I get a dialog box alerting me to an error which reads: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable.
I have tried downloading the latest print drivers for my HP Photosmart C4200 but no luck.
Although I know that a basic theme allows you to select border, borderless, etc. for your printed photo, I cannot figure out how to install a theme.
My workaround is to email the photo to myself and print it from the Preview app.
PS: I read in another forum that I should check in user/library/app support/iPhoto for a Themes folder and if found, I should move it to HD/Library/App Support/iPhoto/ and reboot. But I checked for Themes folder in both of these locations and it is there!!! With some 98 entries. So now what? Reinstall?????
Any ideas?

You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?
Ciao.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

Themes in iDVD 5.0 are not showing up

None of the themes are showing up, I'm just getting a black screen although the text does show. Even on previous finished projects, when I open them, the theme does not show up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My problem is very similar to the above. No matter what I do when it comes time to select Themes, the screen stays black but the audio will play--- for some Themes--not all. I have downloaded the latest iLife fixes, trashed all the IDVD folders, plis etc I can find and reinstalled always with the same result. I am able to get drop zones to appear in the window and I can put pictures and audio in place. I can reposition pictures and change audio. The audio will play but no matter what I do, I have never seen any kind of image on the screen when I try to preview my project or select a Theme.
Any help out there for this kind of problem?

I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can delete the installers; generally, the older files are deleted by the updater automatically.
