IDVD will not allow me to make dvd.

When I open iDVD I click on the Create a New Project. I type in what to save it as and where and choose the aspect ratio and click Create. Then nothing happens. The screen that is supposed to appear so I can create the dvd menu and such does not appear. It appears if I click on File - New or Open. Or if I click iDVD - Quit iDVD. Then the screen appears with the options to save/don't save/ and cancel. If I click on either of those buttons the iDVD program freezes up and I have to force quite it. I have used iDVD several times before and it started doing this recently. I would appreciate it very much if somebody could help me with this.

Log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can create and save a new project there. If not then a reinstall of iDVD seems indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iDVD" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iDVD from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
If it does open and save it could be a preference file other than iDVD's that's the culprit. To see if that's the case try the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

When trying to save a bookmark to a specific pre-established folder the window disappears and will not allow me to make a selection. If I hover in the area it will flash on the screen and disappear again, it's annoying please help!

When I attempt to save a new bookmark and want to save it in a folder the window that typically appears just below the address bar will not stay on the screen. It flashes on the screen and as soon as I move my cursor over it, it disappears. It will not allow me to make a selection of any kind. If I randomly hover over the general area the window will flash back in view but disappear again just as quickly. If I then show all my bookmarks, the bookmark was saved and I have to move it to the folder I actually want it in. Just a few extra steps, but still very annoying. Please help!

DID YOU FIND A SOLUTION???I HAVE TH ASAME THING AS WELL

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

IDVD will not allow me to add chapter markers

When I made my iPhotos into an iMovie and then sent it via Media Browser to iDVD, it will not allow me to add chapter markers and there are no buttons visible for play movie or scene selection. I am using iDVD 7.0.3.

After you place chapter markers within iMovie, you don't want to use the "Share to iDVD" option... Instead, click on the Share to QT (or media browser) option. Next, within iDVD, insert your movie file from the media browser section of iDVD, and all your chapters would be recognized correctly by iDVD. When you directly share to iDVD, it creates an auto-play movie, so you don't get to see the menu, until the movie plays completely.
Two bugs exist with iDVD: one, if you change your movie later, iDVD fails to update the chapter markers correctly. Second, you can no longer use your mouse to change the static images for the chapters (Another poster on this forum discovered a workaround for this using arrow keys instead - pretty ingenious find!)

My dvds that are made from iDVD will not play in a standard dvd player. Can anyone help me?*

I am running iDVD v 7.1.2(1158). I used to be able to make dvds that would play in a standard dvd player. As of today I cannot. I do not know what has changed and I do not know what needs to be updated. Can someone assist me?
The dvds that I can make will play from a disk image and they can play perfectly fine in a computer but not in a standard dvd player. I am using an external dvd burner, (The same one have always used) to create the dvds. I am using iDVD to author them.
Here is a list of my hardware.

Can anyone help me? The dvds are not even detected

• Material used: Video-Codec and Photo file format and Audio file format - matters too. I use
- Video - StreamingDV .dv or AIC
- Photos as .jpg (only)
- Audio as .aiff 16bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz (ONLY - never .mp3 or directly from iTunes - all converted to .aiff first)
With this I do not mean any setting in iDVD - BUT the raw material used in iMovie / FinalCut / Avid 100 / Adobe Premiere
As this usually matters - later in iDVD
How did You Export from Video-editing program used ? I prefer
• iMovie HD6 - just drop the movie project icon (NOT iMovie Icon - the PROJECT one) over into iDVD big menu window (avoiding - drop-zones as they are for other tasks)
• iMovie'08 to '11 - Share to MEDIA BROWSER - AND AS MEDIUM - not HD or other resolution as iDVD does a bad downscaling job.
• iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) - Share as 480p - Import this into iDVD
• FinalCut (Pro or Express) - Export as QuickTime .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT
• Adobe Premiere - I don't know - not tested Yet
• Avid 100 - I don't know - not tested Yet
Cleaning the DVD-burner - If it Burns DVDs OK then that's may be not the problem - But if it only burns CDs OK then either the DVD-burning-laser is dirty or broken.
It is very easy to kill this DVD-laser as it over-heats if one burns several DVDs in a row. I only burn three at a time - then let it cool down for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs.

My app will not allow me to make an in app purchase?

Every time I try to make an in app purchase in the app WSOP... I go and fill out valid credit or debit cards, then it will say I've attempted to use to many cards and that method is unavailable... So I purchase iTunes gift cards, that works for a while, but now, nothing. Haven't tried other apps or songs.. It might just be this app which is synonymous with glitches and problems... But I feel like this one is an iTunes billing issue... I want to be able to use the money that I have exclusively invested in iTunes... Shouldn't I be able to use it?

Iphoto 6 will not allow me to make a picture on the desktop

The desktop button is greyed out in the lower menu bar (and upper menu bar too).I looked at the system pref - security that was suggested in the post for another person but I do not have that issue. Nothing is checked. I did not have this problem in iphoto 5. Could you please help me?
thanks

This might solve your problem: Open IPhoto and click on Share, select Desktop. Then go to System preferences, select the Desktop and Screensaver, then select Choose Folder, then select IPhoto, and a new folder called IPhoto should appear along with the other background folders (e.g. Plants, Pictures Folder). Click the new IPhoto and select the photo you want. In my case, I like to select the feature that allows random changes every 15 minutes. Hope this works.

Only Firefox will not allow me to make selection on a dropdown box

When I go to my CC company's web site to down load data, there is a selection box that asks what software I want to download to, i.e. microsoft money or quicken. When I make a selection, it does not change. Worked with 2 editions before this latest one and works with IE and Chrome, but not Firefox.

The app store will not allow me to make purchases with my paypal account

I tried to make a purchase from the app store using my paypal account but it told me that my purchase could not be completed. I have the funds in my paypal account so I don't know what the problem is.

App Store does not accept PayPal in all countries. The acceptable methods of payment for your country can be seen on your Account Information screen - and by editing your payment information.

Creation of backup DVD's since you will not allow the installation DVD to be used.

I now understand that you refuse to let me use the installation /back up DVD as an installation / back up DVD and insist that I make my own back up DVD’s. I have gone through the usual nightmare trying to find your instructions and can find none.
How do I go through the excess steps to create back up DVD’s for Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements that you will not allow the installation/backup DVD to be used for?
I bought DVD's to be spared this nightmare.

The chat folks got the Premiere Elements installed with a herculean effort including downloading off the Internet. The Photoshop Elements installed fine.
My request was based on the legal agreement. It read to me like I had to save the application from the hard drive to a DVD to get a back up copy made and that that was the only way I was allowed to do it.
The chat folks, based on the severe problem I had installing Premiere, are mailing me a replacement DVD to use as a backup which is the sort of media I would expect. I guess the legal language as I read it deviates from the normal situation.
Thank you for the follow up.

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?

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

NFirefox will not allow me to click on a link without switching to another program first. The version is 3.6.8. This problem makes Firefox virtually unusable. Help!

Firefox will not allow me to click on more than one link in a sequence. After one click, I am forced to switch to another active application before returning to Firefox and clicking on another link. I have seen this problem posted by others, but I can't find an answer by Mozilla. Since this problem makes Firefox virtually unusable (version 3.6.8) I would hope that Mozilla would offer an answer ASAP. Until then, I'm stuck with Explorer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
