IDVD Refuses To Launch

I feel like I'm missing something. I'm running OS 10.5.5 and my iDVD is version 5.01. When I try to launch it I get "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
What do I need to do?

Version 5 of iDvd will NOT work with Leopard ....sorry. You must upgrade (that or go back to Tiger). I'd highly recommend upgrading to iDvd'08 when using Leopard as your OS.

Need help FAST Application refusing to launch

My PowerBook is refusing to launch an app, the app works fine on all my other computers. In the app's crash log I get this:
http://pastebin.com/664099
This computer used to run the app fine until earlier today when a folder named 501.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the x represents numbers that I can't remember). I am loosing my patients with this **** computer and am about to smash it with a hammer if I don't get this fixed FAST.
--Thank you for your help

If you really want this fixed fast, you should consider:
The more information you provide about the crash, the better. You didn't indicate what program you were using and you also seemed a bit frustrated when you posted and didn't quite finish the sentence concerning the 501 folder, which I can only assume, appeared in your trash, as I think I've seen this before after a program quits unexpectedly.
According to the crash report, it appears that the program that is crashing is Adium.
You can try reinstalling the program to see if something has been corrupted in the program package.
You can check to see if there is a more up to date version of the program. You might be dealing with a bug that has been fixed in a more recent version.
You can hunt for the preferences by doing a file search in the library/preferences folder to see if you can find all the preferences associated with adium and delete them. You will most likey loose all your preference setting and any login information, since it's an IM program, but at least you can get it up and running again.
Don't delete the preference files until you have verified that the other two solutions do not work. There's no need to go through re-intering the preferences you want if you can fix the problem by reinstalling the program, which doesn't mess with your preferences.

ITunes refuses to launch

I just updated to the newest version of iTunes, and upon restarting, iTunes refuses to launch. I tried launching from applications, restarting, reinstalling, and deleting my library settings file for iTunes, but nothing has worked. No other programs are running.
When I try to start iTunes, the icon bounces for less than a second, and then stops, and the application never starts.
I'm at a loss, any idea's?

See this.
Fixed mine.
It seems that the enhancer wont allow the licence agreement pop up to show for the new update.
When disabled you can agree to the licence then re-enable the enhancer the re-start and everything should then be back to normal.

Idvd does not launch

iDVD will not launch for some reason. I'm just getting the bouncing icon in the dock. It was working fine and it allowed me to burn a few dvds but not it won't start up at all. I click on the application icon and all i get is the top idvd menu and the color wheel (hour glass). They actual program won't run and the only way to stop it is to force quit :-( I am using iDVD verison 7.1.2 ... i normally would uninstall and reinstall but my imac didn't come with the disk. Please help

Hi
Most probably there was something in last iDVD project that iDVD can not handle e.g. strange Video Codec or Audio file format or Photo file format. So try to start iDVD so that it makes a brand new project and put in one piece at a time - then Save as a DiskImage to test to see that all is OK.
• To start iDVD so that it has to create a new project. Click on iDVD icon WHILE KEEPING alt-key down during up-start. Then Start a new project.

Ipod Nano refuses to launch automatically with itunes 8.2 on mac

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can please help. I have a 2nd Generation Nano and it now refuses to launch my itunes 8.2 automatically and therefore I am unable to get to my ipod's music at all via my mac.
I used to get the DO Not disconnect logo flash up on screen, but this NO longer activates. It does however still charge the ipod fully via the USB cable provided.
I've now had to resort to uninstalling 8.2 and trying to work with 8.01, but this doesn't appear to have rectified the problem. I have yet to restore the ipod but was hoping I could avoid that option.
If anyone has experienced anything similar or has a solution to the problem please get in touch.
Sal

pictures illustrating the problem:
"iPhone" is an album containing 111 photos. No photos actually appear even after syncing - as shown by the capacity bar at the bottom:
http://i42.tinypic.com/30mo2ev.jpg
Note: I've tried syncing just ONE photo (inside AND outside iPhoto) and it doesnt work.
Also tried under Windows XP and syncing ONE photo. Didn't work either. (also running iTunes 8.2 as I don't have an old version to try...)
iPod Photo Cache is created correctly. Tried deleting and recreating it. Definitely works.
http://i41.tinypic.com/1217og4.jpg
If I use something like the demo of Ecamm Phone View ( http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ ) to view the contents of the iPhone, it is clear that NONE of the iPod Photo Cache thumbnails got transferred to the iPhone. (If i manually transfer it into the Photos folder the photos work – of course, until iTunes syncs again as it then deletes all the photos once again.)
Tried restoring iPhone - no help.
Clearly the problem is sporadic (as not many ppl have reported it) but yet, for those that are affected, it stops something that has worked before.

IDVD will not launch in iMovie HD 5.0.2

The iDVD will not launch as a notice says it won't launch with my version of osx. I want to be able to burn DVDs but can't. Suggestions???

If you want to use the iLife programs,per Niels response on your other post, you need to upgrade to iLife '06. Looking at the requirements, iLife '06 is the only version you can upgrade to, as iLife '08 and later require Intel processors for iMovie and other functions. One place you can buy it from is: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ilife06.html .
There are some freebie DVD burning programs available, however, you lose the integration that the iLife programs bring with them.
Roxio makes several programs that will burn DVD's. I've used Toast Titanium for years and can recommend it. See http://www.roxio.com/

Quicktime Pro 7 refuses to launch independently after installation of AVID MC7 / Sorenson Squeeze

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone knows a fix for this.
After installation MC7 and Squeeze, i can no longer launch QT / QT Pro. The only way i can play .mov files is via iTunes, which for me is less than desireable. So the codec is obviously there.
Please note that QT 7 (non pro) was working fine prior to installing Avid & Sorenson.
I've tried 'repairing' QT by downloading the file, but even after the repair it still refuses to launch.
Also, QT is non longer listed in the 'open with' options... Please help!
Windows 7 home x64 (latest ver.)
x6 Phenom 945
8GB Ram
GTX 560 ti

Good catch!
I must note that when i launch QT from the start button and it prompts the user account control popup, i notice the target is in 'Program Files - Quicktime Alternative.'
It'll probably be a conflict with QuickTime Alternative (It's a third-party chop-down of QuickTime) and the standard QuickTime Player.
Head into your uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime, then uninstall QuickTime Alternative. Now try reinstalling the QuickTime Player:

Does the player launch for you now?

I think it must be missing from the Applications folder.

Leopard 10.5.7 refuses to launch applications after "erase and install"

I have an older iMac G5 (1.6Mhz PPC, 2 Gb RAM) born with Panther OS. I wanted to update some applications so I could have a secure browser and other apps. I upgraded the RAM to 2 Gb as a first step. The additional RAM really perked up the old iMac so the next step was to update the OS to 10.5.6 using a DVD that was printed in Jan '09 and sold as part of a bundle pack with the new iLife 09 and iWork 09.
I thought I could get away with an overwrite installation and I knew there were risks in doing that. The result was a really bugey computer with frequent terminal views, kernel panics and even hard shut downs. Apple issued the 10.5.7 update and that helped stabilize the system somewhat.
I still had problems with instablility of the OS and with Safari 3.2.3, Firefox 3 and other applications. I decided to reinstall Leopard using the archive and install procedure. The 2nd install stabilized the OS but I still had problems with browsers and Open Office refusing to launch.
I did lots of troubleshooting using Onyx, MemTest OSX, repair permissions in the Disk Utility, etc. I created a new user account and the problems persisted. I decided to try a third install of the OS using the Erase and Install procedure.
The system now has Safari 4.0.1 but after a few page views Safari crashed and now it crashes as soon as you launch it. A freshly downloaded Camino browser does the same thing. iTunes, System Profiler and a fresh download of Onyx also refuse to launch. All of them crash while launching.
I can launch an ancient version of IE and Firefox 3 from the desktop.
After the last OS X install, I noticed the system did not accept the first attempts at downloading the Leopard updates and the Safari update. A second attempt was successful for both. I am reluctanct to proceed with installing anymore applications until I can fix what I believe is a problem with the OS. The OS worked well after the archive and install procedure and I am thinking it should be able to work at least as well after the erase and install.
I live in a rural area and the nearest Apple "genius" counter is about a 5 hour round trip. Is there anyone out there that has encountered this problem?

The Internet Explorer came with the iMac and I never used it. I had it on a disk so I put it on the desktop to get a download of Camino after Safari failed. It's so old that most websites can't render for it unless they have some html default page.
Here is what the Crash Reporter log had. The iTunes was on the OS X install disk. The Camino browser was downloaded from Caminobrowser.org.

Photo Shop Elements 12 refuses to launch

I installed and have successfully used PSE 12 on Windows 7 since October 2013. It quit working in the middle of alternately using it with an online screen of an art class and now refuses to launch. I have done repeated uninstalls and reinstalls to no avail. It's welcome screen does come up but now with the message that my trial version has expired and the only option given is to BUY NOW. I have a licensed product. Is this a program bug as I've read others encountering similar issues. Please advise what steps I can take to try and resolve this issue. My class work depends on this program. Thanks.

IDVD 6 wont launch

I accidentally installed the iLife '08 into my G4 PowerBook. The software is not compatible with G4's. The iDVD application wont launch. I want to go back to iDVD 6 and have tried and tried to install it without success. I erased .plist and the '08 package from the Library, erased com.apple.iDVD from the Cache folder and nothing happens when I reinstall the '06 iDVD. I ran out of options please HELP!

Erase ALL instances of iDVD (including iDVD's themes) from your computer. Then, use the original install disks for iDVD 06 to reinstall iDVD. This should get a properly functioning copy of iDVD working on you Mac.
Good luck!

IDVD will not launch to burn DVD

In my iMovie HD 5.0.2, the iDVD will not launch to burn a DVD. I have tried everything. When clicking the iDVD, it says to go to Finder to launch. In Finder, I go to applications and click iDVD and get:You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OSX.
What are my options???

Just a little confused. I already have iphoto, imovie, garage band etc that would be in a ilife download so what are the benefits? Currently, when I click for software upgrades, there are none. Would downloading ilife really change anything?

Social app refuses to launch

The social app in my nokia asha 202 refuses to launch. Each time I try it responds " invalid application - delete? ". Pls how do I restore it ?

Hi,
Have you checked if there is an update for the social app on your phone or available software update for your device? If not then visit the link http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/belle-asha-symbian-software-update/ and check the instructions for updating the application or software of the phone. Before doing so, take a back up first of the files from your phone to your PC using Nokia Suite to avoid data loss.
If there is no update, you may re-install the software of the device by the following instructions below:
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and launch Nokia Suite.
Once your phone is already recognised by Nokia Suite, click on Tools tab.
Select Software Update then look for the "reinstall" button.

Itunes 10.4 refuses to launch

Twice now I've tried to upgrade iTunes to 10.4 on two 64-bit Windows 7 machines (the second time I waited for 10.4.1), and twice the results were catastrophic, with iTunes stubbornly refusing to launch, with no error message whatsoever. Zapping the old music libraries and the SC Info files did not help.
Any clues?

Ah! I found several other people with the same problem in this forum. I followed the suggestion to move iTunes 4 from the "Applications" to the desktop and launch it from there. It worked! I moved it back into the Application folder and its still okay. Thanks! This is a definitely a bug that Apple needs to address quickly.

IWork files refuse to launch in Snow Leopard

I upgraded to Snow Leopard today and All iWork apps refuse to launch. They close in a few seconds without any crash report. Any suggestions?

Grab the official list of fonts installed by the system:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1642
I will search if there is a new technote listing the Snow fonts.
Disable those which aren't listed here.
Then try to enable them one by one to identify the culprit(s).
