IDVD wont open on Macbook Pro. 'loading themes' bar only.

Everytime i try to open iDVD, i select 'start new project' and the 'loading themes' bar appears and nothing else happens. I have never been able to get into the actual program properly.
When i was installing all the new updates when i first receieved my macbook, the computer crashed half way through so this might have caused the problem?
Either way, I trashed the program and then reinstalled i DVD from the original install disk and opened it (6.0.0) and i had the same problem. I then downloaded the software update (6.0.1) and again no difference...the rest of the iLife apps work perfectly.
please help! thanks
Macbook Pro 2ghz, 2gb ram Mac OS X (10.4.5)

no..still no difference after deleting those files. loading themes bar still wont go away! im going to do a system restart anyway and wipe off the hard drive because i copied all the files from my old 12 inch powerbook originally and i think the computer is clogged up and it def could be a lot faster. hopefully iDvd will work after that, too!

IDVD wont open. "Application has unexpectantly quit"

This is starting to **** me off. I'm trying to open up iDVD to burn a video. The message "The application iDVD has unexpectantly quit." How can it quit if it's not even open? Any ideas?

May I add to these discussions? I listened to all the hype of changing over to Leopard and am starting to regret falling for it. I have been with macs for many years with very few problems and have, indeed sung its praises, now we have Leopard!!! Prior to upgrading from 10.3 to 10.5 and subsequently 10.5.1, I backed up all my files onto a LaCie 500 ghz (Porsche) external drive.
To begin with my Speedtouch modem ceased to function,, now have a Netgear router, all is restored. 2nd I cannot burn cds or dvds. 3rd iDVD does not work. 4th my remote hard drive does not mount, just clicks away merrily but no icon.
Where do we go from here? Do I have to purchase the latest iLife? Is it coincidental that my remote hard drive doesn't function as it should? (it mounts onto my old fashioned imac G3 OS9!!)
Any answers would be most welcome.
Cheers

Idvd wont open stuck at loading themes.

Hello,
can anyone help me with this, I did look at the discussion thread. If I need to re-install using my original discs, I see a program or applications bundle
I don't want to re-install all programs. I have not used used this program very much but it did use to work not sure what happend.
Thanks to all.

IDVD wont open-- software update issues

Im having issues with the iDVD application. I click it open, and it bounces on the dock, but then it freezes. I cant open an existing DVD project directly, or through opening the application first. I thought it might need a software updated (its version 6.0.4) but when I downloaded the new version (7) the software package said there wasnt an eligible application found.
Help?
I need to burn a project
(And I'm on Macbook)

Movie made in imovie wont open in idvd?!

so i made a little intro movie for a slideshow with the edit interface in imovie where i just added some text to a black background. i saved it and when i try and add it to idvd it wont open. im not really sure what is going on. the file is a .timovieproject so i know that it should open in idvd to "add" a movie. is there some way where i can just save it as a quicktime? thanks!

tell us how you made this black footage. was it entirely in iMovie 6? Try adding some actual video footage to the start and see if this helps, then select the black clip only ....
and share the selected clip only to iDvd. Like this:
Click Here
Let me know if this helps.

I treid again, i even restarted my macbook pro, and reopened the project, couldnt see or hear the project once lost... whats going on? what do i do? i need to finish this by tomorrow..... ug

Hi
Have no real hope for the old DVD project but would in Your situation start by
• Trashing iDVD pref file
and hope that it will help
Else
I would start iDVD - but keep alt-key down during up-start - Then Select to do a Brand New iDVD Project.
The old project might got corrupted - and if so it's lost as far as I understands it
AND !
• FREE SPACE ON Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH is there ?
I never go less than 25GB - when using interlaced SD-Video material
I guess that 4-5 times more will be safe if HD-material is used
Free space on other external hard disks - OF NO interest at all - the space must be on Boot one.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

hi,
today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
Quicktime unavailable
itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
im on windows XP professional.
cheers in advance
mike

hiya!
if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
Resetting iPod warnings
do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?

ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

hi Aaron!
error 1327.Invalid Drive D:\
hmmm. that one's consistent with the abrupt change of drive letters too.
have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1327?

ITunes wont open only error message

iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
Please help

hiya!
it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
okay, here's the best place to start:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:
