Idvd with new Leopard install

Hello,
I just upgraded & installed Leopard on my G5, but now when I try to use iDVD i can not get any of the themes to appear in the main screen, all I get is a black screen with the titles of the themes, but not the actual backgrounds.
Has anyone any idea how to correct this?
Any help would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance
Mark

I have the same problem as Mark Taylor3 in that Leopard has been installed on my G5 that was originally built for Tiger, and trying to use iDVD I am faced with a black screen as described above. I have downloaded two support updates for iDVD from the Support page of Apple, namely iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.2 which are aimed to make iDVD work with Leopard. When I try to install the updates (first I tried the 6.0.4 and then the 7.0.2) the installer loads up but then it tells me this: "An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications" and then I am forced to close the installer and go back to square 1. I am sure I do not have a bootleg version of iDVD (if that is what the error message implies) as it came with the Mac from the Apple Store.
What does the error message actually mean? iDVD is in the applications folder and I am sure I have not moved it from its location or renamed it at all.
Another reason to regret installing Leopard, but saying that the transition on my Macbook has been seamless and iDVD works fine on that - it's just the movie is on the G5 and I cannot transfer the file to the Macbook, I wish I could, but I've tried.

Bought you Mac Mini from Amazon? Did it come with Snow Leopard installed?

I want to buy a Mac Mini from Amazon simply because it's cheaper and there's no tax, the question is, does it come with Snow Leopard like the one from Apple does?
I am not being a cheap @ss here, i lost my job and trying to save every penny i can.
Totals:
Amazon: $577.95
Apple w/student discount: $599.78
The 9.75% tax is killing us here in CA

Even if it does not come with Snow Leopard installed, or the upgrade drop in disk, you should still be able to get it for S&H from Apple thru the Up-to-Date program.
... If you’ve purchased a qualifying computer or Xserve on or after June 8, 2009 that does not include Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard for $9.95.*
This program ends December 26, 2009. Your completed order form must be postmarked or faxed within 90 days of the date of your purchase of a qualifying computer or Xserve (described in this offer) or by December 26, 2009, whichever is earlier.
Also, you may want to look into Apple's refurbished Mac minis. They are usually a Mac that was DOA when shipped to a customer new and has been repaired by Apple. They are technically brand new and carry the same warranty. Occasionally they have surprises, like upgraded RAM.

EYETV LITE WILL NOT STARTUP WITH NEW MAVERICK INSTALL

eye lite will not start up with new maverick installed untill you unpluge usb then reinstall.

Well, I download the driver for Windows 8.1 64 bit, it appears to down load then says extracting and the bar goes along to 100% then nothing. There is no option to install the printer wirelessly, the printer does not appear in the devices and printers, the Scan Doctor tries to fix the problem and just says need to install the wireless facility by using the manual when I select the wireless option. As I said, I can plug in USB and use printer fine but what is the point of having wireless if it doesn't work? Printer worked fine when installed on Home Hub 2. Got a new lap top and still no problems. Problems started when had to have new Home Hub as the broadband connection kept dropping out. BT sent HH3 as don't do HH2 any more. Realised that the printer was still holding the details of the old hub but couldn't find a way of changing this. Reset printer to factory wireless settings so not holding these now. Cannot use CD to load printer as doen't work with Windows 8.

Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

IDVD with Snow Leopard 10.6.4

I recently installed SL fresh on a new hard drive. I have reinstalled my iLife apps from my Tiger disc. iDVD seems to open to the screen where I can create a new project, etc... When I click create a new project and name it, nothing seems to happen. I have waited and waited...then I can quit, it asks me if I want to save changes, and nothing happens....I eventually have to force quit. Is there a fix for this?

I deleted the cache idvd file and the plist idvd file. I rebooted the mac. I repaired disc permissions. There are like a gazillion permissions differ with regards to airport utility and they have all been repaired (I wonder what that was all about?)
Permissions repair is complete. There is nothing about idvd at all. The airport stuff concerns me though. Would this have anything to do with the new hard drive and the snow leopard install? The hard drive is a Hitachi 1TB.
Then I ran repair permissions again just for fun to see if they would come out ok. There was something about permissions differ on system/library/frameworks/java. all were repaired.
Why would I have so many repairs on a brand new hard drive? Gees.
Ran it a third time and had the same as last time. Shouldn't there be a time when there would be no repairs especially when it shows that the permissions have been repaired?
OK...opening idvd
I get the opening screen where I chose what I want to do
I click create new project
Create project screen comes up where I name it
save it in movies under my home folder
then nothing. It is running though
I wait...and click quit idvd
do you want to save the changes to this projet?
and i can't click anything...beachball is spinning
go to the dock and force quit
and that is it
what do you think

Can we use new Leopard Install Disk on an old Macbook?

I recently purchased a new Macbook which came with pre-installed Leopard. I also have an old Macbook which has Tiger running on it. I tried to upgrade my old machine to the new Leopard using the new disks that came with the new system. But it gives an error "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer". Does apple prevent such installation or is there something I need to do to avoid this error?

The Leopard which shipped with a MacBook Pro can only install on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The Tiger that shipped with a MacBook Pro can only be installed on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The retail Leopard which looks like * will only install on a MacBook Pro older than the release of Leopard labeled on the disk (i.e. if the MacBook Pro shipped before 10.5.1 was released and 10.5.1 is on the label of a disk of that label imaged above, then it will work).
The retail release of Tiger which looks like will not install on ANY MacBook Pro.
If you lost your original installation discs which came with a Tiger pre-installed MacBook Pro call Applecare for replacement discs as they are critical for repairing the MacBook Pro if it should need repair. AppleCare's number is here:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
If you are in that scenario having purchased from a non-authorized seller, ask the seller for the disc or to call AppleCare for the discs if they lost them as they must be always sold with the MacBook Pro they shipped with.

Itunes and new Leopard install

Ok, I really wish I could go back a few days and not spend the time or money on Leopard until the powers that be get it running LOL.
Anyway, I started my Leopard install 4 days ago and just got it going (every problem listed).
I just tried to open my Itunes and get the error-
"The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm getting beyond frustrated with this thing.
Annette

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Mac Pro can't find hard drive with Snow Leopard installed on

Hello there,
I have a three harddrive setup.
Harddrive 1 is in bay 1 and has two partitions.
1: For system and apps
2: For Documents and stuff
Hard drive 2+3 are in Bay 2+3 and are combined to a RAID 0 drive.
Some time ago I installed Leopard and the brand new an formatted hard drive.
It happened that it always took 2 start ups to run Leopard because always on the first time it didn t find the system on hard drive one. Pushing the 'D' button often helped.
Of course that was nothing to work with, although I at least could get some work done, once I loaded Leopard successfully.
So I tried Disk Utility, fsck without success.
I also tried the way of using fdisk to mark the partion as active, which only resulted in now not being able to boot at all.
Booting from DVD I also tried choosing my Leopard install on my hard drive as boot device (it has always shown up here) but still without success.
I am afraid things are quite messed up, since there were a few things happening at one time, which I am not overly happy about now. (Installing new RAM, installing SNOW LEOPARD on the new harddrive 1 in bay one, having still the RAID with LEOPARD on in bays 2+3).
I am already certain to do a fresh and complete reinstall of the system, I have my backup, but still there is some iTunes music and a few documents I haven't backed up yet, which I'd rather would not like to lose...
Put it short:
What could I do to get my system running at least once?
Thanks a lot,
max.

After some research I found out about the nice TargetDiskMode which I used to save all my important data with my MacBook.

Ready to perform a complete and fresh install now!

No iDVD with new MacBook

Just bought a new 17" MacBook Pro. Where is iDVD??

If you're also an iWeb user the following may be of interest to you:
It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, is no longer supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
If your phone calls are unsuccessful give the online Apple Store a try.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.

Attempting Disk repair with Snow Leopard install DVD. Prompted to restart several times

Hi,
I'm trying to do a disk repair with my MBP (2010, OS X snow leopard). I tried to enter Disk Utility with my Snow Leopard install DVD by pressing down "c" during startup but it gives me a grey screen in several languages prompting me to restart again. Restarted and I get the same screen. Can anyone help me?

You are getting a (kernel) panic crash booting from the installer dvd? Hmmm. That's doesn't sound good. Try resetting smc and pram.
If that doesn't fix it try to boot the Apple Hardware Test and check your machine -- assuming that will boot?
Also look inside if you get that panic crash and see if there are any diagnostic leds lit.
If this continues you might try disconnecting all unnecessary peripherals (usb, fw, extra drives).

Restoring from Time Machine with no Leopard install CD?

I've been having dreadful problems with my 2006 MacBook recently, which resulted in it being sent away for repairs. I got it back today, and to my surprise and delight it had Leopard installed.
My recent problems have made me realise how much I need a bootable backup. I had been planning to use SuperDuper to make a backup system using an 80GB firewire drive I just bought, but since I now have Leopard, I thought I could just use Time Machine.
However, I now realise, Time Machine doesn't make bootable backups. Booting from an install DVD and then restoring would be a perfectly good solution for me, but the problem is I don't have a Leopard install CD to boot from! And I assume booting from my Tiger CDs would not help, since they won't recognize Time Machine formatted files. And SuperDuper isn't compatible with Leopard.
So how can I make it so that my Time Machine backups are any use to me if my computer won't boot from the hard drive?

I thought it was probably a mistake -- it was certainly a surprise -- but I don't plan on complaining. I chose to interprent it as a gesture of apology for how many things have gone wrong with my hardware in the past year (I'm on my third hard drive, second DVD drive, second main logic board, second set of connectors... thank goodness for AppleCare)
I really want a restore-able system... I guess I'll have to think about how badly, whether it's worth my paying for the Leopard DVD or going back to Tiger!
Thanks for your response - it's good to be sure what is and isn't possible.
