I get an error message saying "Error in Project Structure" and "there is an empty slideshow in your project. Make sure every slideshow has at least one image blah blah blah..."
I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported to QT 7 pro, then imported the .mov to iDVD. Preview button plays beautif1.67 GHzully. Why won't it burn?
Thanks,

IDVD wrong about allowing burn to DVD

My son has an account on my system so he can create and burn a DVD. The videos come from his iPod.
iDVD keeps telling me that he is not permitted to burn DVDs. Yet under parental controls it has the Allow box checked.
Am I missing something? Any other settings I have to change to allow this?

Parental controls is not the issue here IMO. But it may have to do with read vs. write privileges ...
Select your main HDD (Boot Volume), then go to file and Get Info. Open the triange or bottom arrow where is says Sharing and Permissions. Click once on the yellow or gold lock on the very bottom right of this dialog box. Enter your password when prompted in the Finder. Lock should open. Now select / check the box for both read and write for those whom you wish to have full access to your mac. Restart your mac and you should be good to go. But if not, just come on back. Good luck.

I have an iMac, version OS X Lion and iMovie 11, version 9.0.8 (1778). iMovie keeps quitting. Won't allow me to export to iDVD to burn a disk. Out of ideas. Lots of time into the project.

My iMovie app will just quit for no reason. It doesn't loose my data but it's a pain. Now that I have finished my picture project, I want to export it to iDVD so I can burn a disk. iMovie just quits, no matter how I try to export the project. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
I have a lot of time into this project and would hate to loose it. But if anybody knows of a really good app for making picture and video CD/DVDs (that doesn't quit every time you turn around) I would love to know about it.
thank you,

Hi babowa,
I tried sending my project the way you said. I got the message that it would take about 15 minutes to do this. Then the program quit again. No 30 seconds after I tried to send it.
I just spoke with a tech from Apple and he say there is a glitch in my project. He had me try to send a different project using Quick Time and it went right through. He say I will have to build a whole me project and I'll just have to hope it doesn't have a glitch in it. Not what I wanted to here, I have a lot of hours in this project.
Thank you for trying.
I am still open to suggestions for a different app. Preferably one that works

IDVD won't burn since latest update

Ever since the latest update iDVD won't burn a disc. It says that there is no disc in the drive. I have tried TDK DVD-R and Verbatim DVD-R discs. This is ******* me off something fierce. Please help.

Have you tried to burn a data DVD from the finder?
What does System Profiler (about this mac > more info) say under diskburning?
Also a cold restart (all power off for 5 minutes) and zapping the PRAM and PMU can reset optical drives.

I made an iMovie project that's over 2 hours long so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do now?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

IDVD Randomly Quitting during burn?

Hullo! Posting here cause I've been quite unsuccessful in burning two dvds of mine.
I have about 25 episodes in .avi format that seem to work in preview, work in quicktime/VLC ect.
But halfway through the burn process iDVD just randomly quits on me, doesn't say why but just comes up with a " A disk has been inserted what do you want to do ". Why this happens I don't know, because the disk has been in there through the burn process the whole time
Anyway just looking for some feedback as to whats going wrong. Also I converted it to DVD format through VisualHub but iDVD doesn't recognize that either, and I tried repairing some disk permissions or whatnot to see if that would help.

IDVD won't recognize second DVD drive.

The DVD drive in my G5 stopped functioning, so I plugged in a FireWire external DVD drive. The OS recognizes the DVD disk and the external drive, but iDVD does not. When I click the "Burn" button, it opens the drawer of the built-in (non-functional) DVD drive and tells me to insert a blank DVD.
There seems to be no facility for telling iDVD which DVD drive to use. Am I missing something?

My Mac Mini won't allow me to install a new image (2011, i5)

Hello. My original HDD for my Mac Mini died so I replaced it with a new one. I have downloaded Mavericks and 'burned' the image to a USB stick. When I turn the Mac Mini on and hold down 'Option' to get to the selection screen, I choose the Mavericks image and then this happens:
http://i.imgur.com/69wIn63.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/n7KXDH8.jpg
It won't allow safe boot, either.
Any clue as to what I can do to remedy this? I really need the machine back up and running as I do all of my development on there. Thank you in advance.

I created a bootable USB stick with a Mavericks image I downloaded from the App store. I was able to reimage my Macbook just fine; my MacMini kept throwing the above error. I've attempted to boot the MacMini and do a 'Command + R' and partition the HDD, erase it, and download Mavericks directly online, but when it seems to be working, it reboots and gives me a folder icon with a '?' in it. I'm kind of stuck and getting quite aggravated

IDVD won't recognize imovie project

Hello people.
I have an 09 Mac desktop computer. I have now made seven iMovie projects ranging from ten minutes to almost two hours. Each time I shared the project with iDVD to burn the finished product to disc. Each time I made sure I could play back the movie on our DVD player.
I was able to play back each of these movies on my computer as the files ( I am assuming they were files ) were automatically stored in a movies folder right after they were shared with iDVD from iMovie. Since they take up space on the hard drive, I decided to store the files on an external hard drive. I believe each one copied to the hard drive. Once each one was on the hard drive, I made sure I could play it back. Then I trashed each file on the computer, again making sure right after that I could still play each file on the external drive. They would open in iDVD and I could play them. All was good.
Recently I made another iMovie project of my children's high school play. As I did before, I shared it with iDVD and it appeared to be working as usual. It was to take approx. 30 minutes to create the movie from the project. HERE IS MY FIRST PROBLEM! Usually after the movie is created, it then opens in iDVD and from here I can burn to disc. iDVD did not open! I tried a couple of times and nothing. I then tried a short 30 second clip from iMovie with no titles or transitions or anything. This worked. iDVD opened after creating the short movie. My project is an hour long. Consequently with this project I shared it with the media browser and made it into an avi file. I then used a program ( Toast ) that came with my Roxio Converter ( VHS to DVD ) software to burn the movie to disc.
HERE IS MY NEXT PROBLEM! I went to view the movies on my hard drive and iDVD won't recognize them. It says it can't find the missing audio and video files. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Hello darrenfromnanaimo
Cross your fingers for a satisfactory answer to the "NEXT PROBLEM." When you copied the iDVD files to your external drive and deleted them on your computer -- hopefully you just deleted the iDVD files and not the iMovie files. If that's the case, you can reconnect the external iDVD files to the original iMovie files and you're back in business (open the external iDVD project and use it's browser to find the original iMovie files). If the iMovie files were deleted, that's a more difficult problem -- you'll need to recreate the iMovie files (re-import from the camcorder and re-edit), or you'll have to "rip" your DVDs back into an electronic file (which gives you only the finished product of your original editing, with slightly degraded video resolution).

Idvd won't read my quicktime video

I exported from FCP into Mpeg4 and now idvd won't read the video image on the file (even though it displays the image). the files are not copyrighted. i just need to burn onto a disk so that it can be uploaded later onto the internet. any way to fix my problem or to get around idvd?

iDVD does not work with mpeg4.
If the file is less than 4gb simply create a data DVD not a video DVD.

IDVD won't load large project file..Help!

iDVD won't load large project file once I close the program for the first time since finishing the project. Basically, I made a compilation DVD of numerous individual files spread across quite a few folders/sub-menus totaling about 236 minutes on a Dual Layer DVD+R. I closed the project prior to burning but now, iDVD gets the rainbow wheel everytime you try to load that particular project. What's the deal?
Notes:
-iDVD does still load if I want to load another (smaller/simple project) or start a new one.
-I've tried to start over from scratch a make the exact same project. When I exited out and went to load it, it did the same thing.
-I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iDVD 7.1.2.
Any suggestions?

My computer won't allow me to duplicate a CD! Error code -8058

I need to copy a CD and my lousy computer won't allow me. Is there some reason why it's not?

You didn't mention what CD you are trying to copy.
If it is just a regular CD, then it is possible that it is somehow copy-protected. This is a standard industry practice to prevent you from making copies of their programs. This is supposedly to crack-down on software piracy.
If it is a DVD, then the above suggestion is still possible. All DVD movies (well the commercial ones) are copy protected. And, duplicating them by any means is actually illegal in the United States (although there are programs that will do it - but those programs are also illegal here).
Copying program DVD's (such as the Mac OS) is legal if the license agreement permits it, and even then usually only for the purpose of having a backup in-case the original gets scratched or damaged somehow.
If it is not copy protected, and it is a DVD, then:
You should verify that your source DVD and destination DVD-R are the same type of disk, and that your drive can write that type of disk.
There are standard DVD disks and Dual-Layer disks. The Dual-Layer disks hold roughly double the capacity of a standard disk.
So, if you are trying to copy a Dual-Layer disk to a standard DVD disk, then it's not going to work.
Likewise, your drive also needs to be capable of writing to a dual-layer disk. Only the drives in the 17-inch MacBook Pro are able to do this. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is not able to write dual-layer disks.
Now, assuming that both the disk you are reading and the disk you are writing to are NOT Dual Layer DVD disks, then you may have a media problem.
In this case, it could be that the media is not a type that works well in your computer. Some drives are very particular about who's disks they'll work with. Others will burn anything.
So, I would check to see if the computer will burn files to that disk (or the same kind of disk) without trouble.
If it will write to that disk, but still will not copy the disk you are trying to duplicate, then you are probably dealing with copy protection or disks that are in a format that either you cannot write or are of different types.
If you are working with a DVD, you can usually tell if it is a dual-layer disk by seeing how large it's reported capacity is in the Finder.
Right-click on the disk on your desktop, and then click on "Get Info". If the reported capacity is beyond 4.7 GB, then you are most likely working with a dual-layer DVD.
And, of course, the obvious, don't try to copy a CD to a DVD or a DVD to a CD.
And, one more detail is that you need to have plenty of space available on your hard drive to burn a DVD or duplicate one. I tried with about 4 or 5 GB of space free, and was given an error. But, with more space available (around 20 GB) the computer was happy to burn a disk for me.
Again, without more information, it's hard to say for sure what your problem is. But, hopefully the ideas above will provide you with some help in making sure you are on the right track.

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.
