IDVD5 crashes when 'Burn' or 'Save Disk Image' is clicked...

...but this happens only from one user account, not from another.
So, although I can get the job done by running from another account, it is a nuisance. I've tried deleting the prefs for both iDVD and iMovieHD from the problematic account; no dice.
What else might be causing the software to hang in one account but not in another on the same machine?
Many thanks, people.

Hello Alex - the first thing I'd suggest is making sure your Mac is ready for some hard work. I use a routine consisting of MacJanitor and Apple's Repair Permissions. Make sure the account has 15-20 gigs of space available, and don't have any other apps open.

  • Computer Crashes when creating new blank disk image

    I'm trying to dreacte a new blank disk image from Disk Utility, but when I select "New Blank Image", I name the disk and hit "Create"my compter crashes and requires restart. Any ideas as to why and how to fix?

    Yes, iMovie '08 is more "resource intensive" than iMovie HD. (It takes a lot more RAM to provide all that nice scrubbing ability.)
    I'm not sure how large the project you're burning is, but I will say that 1GB of RAM is really low for working with video. Anytime a computer starts running out of free memory, bad things start happening. Applications crash, the system appears to hang, etc. When you quit all the other applications you were running, you freed up RAM for iMovie to use.
    I would suggest you bump up the RAM in your machine to at least 2GB. It's not very expensive at all. Less than $80. You can get to 4Gb of RAM for $110! I'd be willing to bet that once you've got more available memory your problem will vanish.

  • Will Disk Utility Burn a DL Disk Image to DVD?

    Will Disk Utility burn a DL Disk Image created by iDVD to a DL DVD? I'd like to save myself the rendering time to find out that it won't, if that is the case.

    JCC,
    The last I knew there could be a problem with setting the proper break point when creating/working from the disk image of a double layer disc, but I may have missed something recent.

  • DVD burned from a disk image won't work on different computers???

    Under the directions for how to burn a DVD from an disk image, the Apple Help document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006) says this:
    "Note: When burning a disc from a disk image, the burned disc will have the same format as the disk image. If you need a disc that will work on different computers, burn the disc in the Finder."
    Does this mean that the DVDs that I am burning from the disk image won't be able to be played on a PC? a Mac other than mine? Neither? WHAT? I am planning to sell the DVDs of a workshop I present -- to people who may be playing them on PCs. Should I not be using this method (burning from a disk image) to burn my DVDs?

    Video DVDs are in the UDF format. The disk image you created is in the UDF format. When you use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to writable media, the new discs will be in UDF format and all will be well.
    You are doing things correctly.
    BTW, unless you have an external burner with lots of cooling, if you expect to use the burner in your Mac (which DOESN'T have lots of cooling), it's a good idea to pause between discs to allow the burner to cool down. (BTW, this comment is based on the reported results of several people in the forum. If you don't allow the cool down timer, you will start to create 'bad' discs. Also it is VERY important that you reduce the burn speed in Disk Utility to 4x or lower in order to create discs with maximum compatability with players. (You should see a way to change the speed in Disk Utility afterr you have inserted a disc.)

  • Photoshop CC crashes when doing a Save As...

    Windows 7 PC. Photoshop CC crashes when trying to save a psd file as a jpg file using Save As...

    Interesting development: If I load into PS CC an image from LR 5 (Ctrl+E), work with it and try to save it as a jpg file, PS CC crashes. This will happen over and over again. HOWEVER, if I open an image into PS CC via LR 5, work with it, close it as a psd file, then open the image directly from PS CC (File>Open), and then try to save it as a jpg file, everything works fine. From that point on I can save images as jpg files no matter how they got into PS CC (i.e., it works fine until I close down PS CC completely and re-open it later -- in which case I have to do this process all over again). This situation never came up in PS CS6, so it must have something to do with the LR 5/PS CC communication.

  • Gallery app crashes when trying to save changes

    After cropping a photo in the gallery app, it crashes when trying to save the changes made to the photo. It does not happen when saving other changes.

    It's an Alcatel One Touch Fire on 1.0.1. But interestingly enough the problem is no longer occurring. I'm still not sure about what caused it. So... I suppose I can mark my question as answered. Thanks for replying.

  • Illustrator CC crashing when trying to save .eps

    Hi,
    I'm trying to save a basic logo file that i have created, every time i try to save as an .eps file illustrator crashes and doesn't save.
    I can save it as an .ai no problem, i don't think its something specific to the file as it crashes when trying to save other files as an .eps.
    I've cleared my .pref file but that didn't help—it still crashes. I'm running OSX 10.9.3 and i don't have another version of illustrator installed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply however it doesn't really solve the original question. I am fully aware of the limitations of .eps in fact one of the reasons logo's are usually sent as eps is because it flattens the file, therefore limits the ability of third parties down the production line to change the logo. Also current clients and printers do still specifically request an eps, hence the original question.

  • Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8

    Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8 on Logic 9.1.4
    Done everything like repair permissions etc.
    Reinstalled both Logic and OS 10.6 (then updated to 10.6.8)
    Still doing it.
    Any advice guys?

    OK,
    I have installed logic 9.1.5 from the apple site and run that, still same problem.. so i have finally managed to get my hands on the logic 9 disc.. it says on the apple site to remove logic 9 from your mac, to simply drag the logic app to trash and reinstall. i did this with 10.6.0 installed and run it and still error. I then combo updated to .4 .6 and to .7 without updating logic still error.. Then i have combo updated to 10.6.8 still error.. finally i installed the 9.1.5 update direct from the site on 10.6.8 and that hasnt worked either..
    My question is, even though on the apple site it says to drop the app to the bin and reinstall, does this remove all necessary files? or do i have to do it manually and if so can someone tell me exactly what needs to go,before i try a proper reinstall.
    Thanks

  • Word 2013 crashes when doing a save as pdf

    Word 2013 will crash when doing a 'save as' pdf

    It sounds like an item in HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items. Drag the contents of that folder to the desktop and test again. If that sorts it put the items back one at a time to find the culprit..
    If that's not it, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and do the same.
    Open "Console" in your Utilities folder. From the Sidebar choose: Log
    Files >> CrashReporter >> "~/ Library Logs" >> Preview and paste the contents here for the latest Preview crash and maybe we can figure what's going on.

  • Adobe Premier Elements 7- crash-when burning says" Please insert a blank disk" and already a disk in

    I have a Adobe Premier Elements 7. I have had a lot of problems with it of crashing and not burning.. I just had my computer wiped out and installed everything back on like windows xp service pack 3..etc. First I have Windows XP service pack 3 with an Intel Core 2CPU ,6400 @213GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM.  When I went into disk menus premier elements 7 crashes... why is that??? also I tried to burn a DVD and does the progress of burniing and almost done burning WHILE there is a dvd in the drive and says"Please insert a blank disk and click ok to burning" why doe sit do that also? I just had adobe reinstalled and my computer wiped out? Please respond and help.. I am using this program as a business of video editing and nee this solved.

    Along with Steve's questions, let's talk about the process of Burning a DVD-Video.
    From PrE, which is doing the authoring of the DVD-Video, the first thing that happens is a quick check of the Project and the Menu Set chosen. This happens in an instant. Next, the program must Transcode the Timeline to MPEG-2 that is fully DVD-compliant. This takes some time and is a very intensive process, stressing the computer, and also heating things up greatly. This process will often cause a poorly ventilated, or poorly cooled computer to crash with either a reboot, or a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Every component, save for the video card, will be stressed like few other programs can do. PrE uses a 2-pass Transcode, where it goes through the entire Timeline, and maps out sections with high motion, or great detail. It builds a "script" on how to proceed, and then goes back at the Timeline with that script, but also still looking for ways to improve things. This is about 90% of the entire Burn Disc process. Nothing has yet to be burned. Instead, files are created in the Scratch Disk folders. Now, the program takes those newly created MPEG-2 files, the Menus, and all navigation such as Markers, and assembles them into another working folder, in the full DVD structure of VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. When this is done, the actual physical Burn starts. This is quite a ways into the total process. It is at this point, that the program looks at the burner and the blank media, and not before.
    When the program cannot get the necessary info from the burner, or the blank media, it will throw an error message, similar to yours. Also, "SenseCode Errors" usually indicate a problem with the burner, or the media.
    Now, let's address this last bit. Is the firmware for your burner up to date? If not, update/flash the firmware. This will be available from your burner mfgr's. Web site. Next, what brand of blank media are you using? Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended brands. Memorex, TDK, newer Ritek and all store brands should be avoided at all costs. Last, is your burner a fully-certified multi-drive? If so, it should be able to handle +R, or -R media. What type are you using, and are you sure that this is blank media, and not a disc that you have already burned, or even attempted to burn?
    Hope that we can stop the crashes, and get you to burning.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • IPhoto crashes when burning

    Hi,
    This topic as been talked about, but except for not having enough hard drive space for the disk image, no good solutions.
    If I try to burn a DVD with my iMac G5 to back up my iPhoto library, iPhoto crashes. I say burn, a small window pops up, I click burn and iPhoto crashes.
    iPhoto 5.04
    I have enough hard drive space 179GB free on the 250GB drive!
    iPhoto only thing running with 2 GB of memory. and ~1500 photos.
    I can export the photos to a file and then burn that through the finder.
    But, if I try to burn the iPhoto library with finder, it gives me a -43 error and won't burn.
    I can burn through iDVD and through the finder other things, so it is not the MATSHITA DVD-R drive.
    Trashed the iPhoto preference file, but it did not help.
    So I used my PowerBook G4 laptop. Both computers on a LAN. (File sharing on). Moved my Powerbook iPhoto library ( so iPhoto could not find it), started iPhoto on the Powerbook, and when it asked for the library, I pointed to the iMac G5 library! I then went to burn a DVD and NO PROBLEM!!!
    It burned just fine. I had thought it might be a problem with the library as it wouldn't burn through the finder but...
    So I trashed the iPhoto application on the G5 and copied it over from the Powerbook, but it still crashed when trying to burn a DVD.
    This is a bit long winded, but a lot of info (and clues?).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    Hi,
    This is how I resolved the problem:
    Since I was able to back up my iPhoto library thru my laptop (see my original posting. Connected to iMac thru LAN),
    I trashed the whole iPhoto library and used the back up DVD to make a new one. I could then burn a copy thru the iMac.
    Something was corrupted in the library. I have no idea why i could back up thru the Powerbook (LAN). That makes no obvious sense! If the library is corrupted it is corrupted! But I could and it worked! The backed up library was "fixed".
    One other option (if you cannot make a backup like I did) is to export the library(I was still able to do this), trash the library, then recreate it by "adding to library". If you made notes, rotated photos, etc, you might loose that info, but I haven't studied that so I don't really know.
    Let me know if you fix the problem.
