IDVD themes miss elements

Some of my themes, pre-7.0, don't play anymore and miss elements of the theme. It is the case for "Shelves" for instance, where I miss the shelves. The dropzones are present. Also, the background is sometimes kept from one theme when switching to another.
Of course, I have deleted the pref's and the cache, emptied the trash and restarted just to be sure. iDVD is 7.1.2 version.
Any hints what to do?

What system version are you running?
First log into another user account on your Mac and see if the theme problem exists there.
If so go into the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder and make a backup copy of the entire Themes folder. Then enter into Time Machine, go back in time to before the problem started and restore the Themes folder. Repair disk permissions and try iDVD again. You may have to go into iDVD's Advanced preference pane and confirm the location of the themes:

IDVD themes missing

I have iDVD 7.0.4 on my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to open the program. As it opens, a display pops up that says, "Loading themes". After that, iDVD closes. I recently moved my Themes folder from the desktop to the iDVD-CNTRL+Click-Show package contents--plugins- and created a folder called "Themes". Should the folder be called "Themes" or something else? I suspect that's my issue.

I am encountering a similar problem with iDVD on my new MBP with Mountain Lion. I installed iDVD as a custom install from my iLife 11 original disk. With that I had themes 6 and 7 only with the older themes greyed out. I clicked on one of the greyed out themes and received the message that I could get an update, but it goes to the apps store and simply stops there.
So I copied the themes 1-5 from the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder that I have on my older MBP with Snow Leopard. I then copied those themes into the Themes folder on my new MBP. I did a repair permissions from disk utility and rebooted. However when I open up iDVD themes from 6 and 7 are ok but the old themes all appear just as a yellow triangle. There seems to be a broken link there somewhere.
I tried downloading update 7.0.1 and opened it with Pacifist. There were only Themes 5,6,7, in there. I tried adding themes 5 out of 7.0.1 into the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder on my MBP with Mountain Lion, tried repairing permissions (none to repair) rebooted and then tried iDVD, but while themes 6 and 7 are ok, it does not recognise the Themes 5 folder or any of the older themes.
Any suggestions as to what I can do next? Philip

Is there a possibility to import a theme (Idvd) to Premiere Elements or Pro

Hi there,
I finally have received my new MBP and was surprised by the new themes of idvd. These Themes are great and I would like to have them also in Premiere Elements or Premiere Pro.
Does anybody have an idea or an advise how to get reasonable Themes to Premiere Elements/Pro.
Thanks for your help.

iDVD themes can't be transferred to other applications, particularly non-Apple ones.
Ask Adobe regarding Premier.

Missing Menu buttons in iDVD themes

Strange behavior/problem with applying iDVD 7.0 themes: an alert triangle appears in the DVD map view warning that "Menu contain no buttons." This occurs in the "Forever" theme's "Main" as well as "Chapters" graphics. What should I do ---is this an indication that the iDVD Theme's files are corrupted---if so, what fix is there? Many thanks for any help.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder, User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

Missing All My IDVD Themes

I've read the previous posts on this and tried "Pacifist" on my original OS X.2 disk plus ILife 4 disk (Can't find 10.4 disk right now). When I opened IDVD 5 for the first time it said I had no themes and should reinstall. I do have a 2 year old who gets a little "mouse happy" he could have deleted the themes folder because I can't find one. I cant even find IDVD listed on my install disk and the Ilife 4 custom install doesn't seem to let me just select "Themes". My only option at this point seems to be to revert back to IDVD 4. At least until I can find the 5 disk(two year old). Any suggestions?

Hi Lance,
From reading at the start of your 1st post in this thread . It sounds like you may have corrupted some things that related to iDVD rather than your 2-year old actually deleted the themes since iDVD themes are imbedded inside the iDVD application package itself, even some adults couldn't find them.
A complete reinstallation is a good idea. As you said, before the reinstallation, you do need to get rid of iDVD 5 and also everything containing the iDVD name in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Since you just want to reinstall iDVD only, depending on the install discs you have, some bundled software discs are packaged differently, you may be able to use the custom install option of the install disc, if not, then you have to use the Pacifist application to do the custom install, usually iDVD.mpkg is what you want to find and install. As you going through each up version, the installation script always looks at the default Applications folder during the upgrade, don't move the iDVD application to anywhere.

Using iDVD themes in Motion?

Has anyone ever figured out a way to make use of iDVD themes in Motion? There are several that would make nice elements for other projects.

not that I know of...

What Are Themes For versus iDVD Themes?

Quick question. I am looking at the themes in iMovie, but am slightly confused about how these interplay with iDVD themes - in the iMovie "Travel" theme, there's an Element "Open" which looks almost like a static (albeit with drop zones) DVD background - I guess this becomes just part of the movie, which plays for its duration before the movie just continues. Is that right? In which case, is the most logical use of the elements as opening pieces for new chapters?
Hope I've explained this in a way that makes sense?
David

David,
The themes in iDVD a for use when creating the motion menus of a DVD.
The theme elements in iMovie can be used as parts of movies you create.
For example, you might use the "Open" element of the "Travel" theme to create the opening sequence of your trip to Maui movie. Kind of like the main title sequence you see at the movie theater.
Other elements are for use throughout your movie. To create chapter titles to mark the different sections of your movie; the day at the beach, the drive up the volcano etc.
Finally, you can use the credit elements to create a credit sequence at the end of your movie. Again, like the end credits you might see in a movie theater.

Creating iDVD themes with Adobe

Hi everyone.
Is there anyway i could use an illustrator or flash file as an iDVD theme?
I wanted to use a keynote presentation, export it to flash and burn it to a dvd.
The thing is i'm making a portfolio of my college stuff and i want it to be all interactive
Any ideas?
Help...?

What exactly do you want the dvd to contain (other than sample images of your work and movies)? You can add data to the dvd rom section of the dvd if you wish.
However, for the most part, interactive Dvd authoring is better addressed within FCS / DVDSP (apple's pro apps). Apps like Director from Adobe may also help. However, I'm not sure if there is a current update to this particular app or not. You'll have to search the web to find out should this app interest you.
In terms of making your own Themes / templates from scratch again this is much better addressed within DVDSP.
However, it is possible to add data to the dvd-rom section of the dvd if you wish. This can take many different forms like RAW image files, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and so on. They won't be playable on most set top dvd players but they can be accessed from most computers.
Also, you can use AppleScript to add media to iDVD
You can use AppleScript to automate the creation of DVDs by linking iDVD to media asset systems and other scriptable applications such as iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, and Media 100i. You can customize menu properties, slideshows, movies, and text elements in iDVD.
The AppleScript website for iDVD has many downloadable scripts that everyone, even nonscripters, can use to make their use of iDVD even easier and more productive.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

I recently moved all my logic audio sessions to a back up hard disk. Also updated to Loin OSX. My Stylus RMX is not working. I get a message Missing Element on Part 1...Currently not installed on their computer or has been moved to a different folder. Any help out there?

Hi
Sounds like you may have moved the RMX library folder?
Is RMX fully updated (for Lion)?
Check your hard drives for a file called SAGE:
It (or an alias of it) is normally found in the <USER>:Library:Application Support:Spectrasonics.
Note that on Lion, the <User> Library is 'hidden'... quickest way to get there is to hold down Option (Alt) whilst using the Finder:Go menu

Default insertion for missing elements using DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML

Hi,
I am trying to insert default values for some columns, without having those column names as elements in the xml document. Is it possible to do so?? This is the code I am using for now, but it inserts null values for missing elements in the xml document.
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext ('TABLENAME'); -- get the context
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML (insCtx, p_xmlDoc); -- insert the doc
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext (insCtx); -- close the handle

Only thing I noticed with dbms_xmlstore.insertXML, was when my xml document had "<?xml version = "1.0" ?>" at the start, it gave an error "LPX-00209: PI names starting with XML are reserved"That's probably due to the XML document not starting exactly with "<", like this :

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
With the dbms_xmlsave.inserXML, [...] it wont insert the default column values.Now that's strange...
I understand there could be differences in the parsing implementation, but in the end both processes must issue an INSERT into the target table using plain SQL, so I really wonder why default values are not applied.
I'll try to reproduce when I have access to a Java-enabled db.

Cannot open CS5.1, says to reinstall because of missing elements

If there are missing elements, then reinstalling sound like a good idea.

Using idvd themes in imovie and photshop?

hi,
i would like to use idvd themes for the cover art of a dvd and sounds for imovie clips. therefore, i wanted to know if and how it's possible to find the image-file of an idvd theme so that i can import it into photoshop, as well if and how i can find the sound-file of an idvd theme so that i can use it in imovie. i would be happy if i can avoid using extra software like audio hijack pro etc. to extract the sound and graphics. is there's an easy way to find and use those files?
regards,
andi

You can look in the parcel contents, richt click or control click, than in the "contents" folder the "Recources" folder there you can find "tif" files.
Its a long list.

I downloaded a trial of Dreamweaver CS6 CC - Missing Elements

The search bar which should be located at the top right-hand side of page is missing, so are the predefined workspaces such as 'classic' and 'developer'. I have just started hosting & developing and was thinking i would invest in the entire CS6 suite although this has been a bit of an issue. Adobe support chat told me they could only help me once i purchase the suite, although i am not going to do that until I can figure out of this issue can be fixed/how i can get these missing elements. Has anyone experienced the same thing? I am using Windows 8, and in my programs & features it indicates that i am using version 13 of Dreamweaver CS6 CC.
The image shows what I understand dreamweaver SHOULD have. Thanks in advance

The "missing" elements in your screenshot are not missing - They were in CS6, they've been removed in CC.
Dreamweaver CS6 (v.12) and Dreamweaver CC (v.13) are two different versions of Dreamweaver. Seems like you're running CC and thinking it's CS6.
You're comparing the CS6 (v.12) interface with the CC (v.13) interface - and much has changed.
The "missing" elements have been removed by Adobe to streamline the DW CC interface.
CS Live services were discontinued by Adobe in 2012 and early 2013 so the button has been removed in CC.

VacationRequest Sample, missing element "mds-config" error upon Deploy

Hi All,
Searched the forum history and couldn't find any hints on this one, wondered if some kind soul could help a SOA beginner.
I took the VacationRequest sample from https://soasamples.samplecode.oracle.com/files/documents/660/794/workflow-100-VacationRequest.zip and am attempting to deploy into a WLS 10.3.2 domain which has the soa_server1 configured correctly. The demo users and app have been already seeded OK from the DemoCommunitySeedApp.
When opening the VacationRequestApp.jws within JDev and receive this error:
Error(12,61): Parse of component type files failed, check the adf-config.xml file : "oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException: MDS-01333: missing element "mds-config": MDS-01333: missing element "mds-config": oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException: MDS-01333: missing element "mds-config": MDS-01333: missing element "mds-config""
adf-config.xml has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<adf-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/config"></adf-config>
Environmental information: JDev 11gR1, Oracle SOA Composite Editor v11.1.2.0.12.16, SOA suite 11gR1, Windows2003R2
Thanks in advance,

I added the following right before the end tag, based on a different project:
<adf-mds-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/mds/config">
<mds-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/mds/config">
<persistence-config>

<property value="seed" name="partition-name"/>
</metadata-store>
</metadata-store-usage>
</metadata-store-usages>
</persistence-config>
</mds-config>
</adf-mds-config>
It then was able to deploy

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu? When I click to get menu info, the "TravelAudio" audio is listed, but it won't play. The volume is not the issue, it just isn't there.

Hi
First of all - I would try to trash the iDVD pref file (or rather start a new User-account and log into this and re-try).
