Install idvd update

I have Mac OS X ver. 10.7.5. iDVD 6.0.4 will not run on this version and updates will not install. Help!

To get from iDVD 6 to iDVD 7 requires a purchase since it is an ugrade, not an update.
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Installed iDVD and now I have lost iPhoto

I have an iMac 27" late 2013. I was wanting to burn some dvd's and installed iDVD, while working with iDVD I received a notice that iPhoto could not be opened because it may be damaged or incomplete...Can I get it back???

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?

I can't open iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete? It started after I installed iDvd so I uninstalled it. No change - what do I try next?

I can't open iPhoto anymore because "it may be damaged or incomplete"? I'd been making folders of my albums & videos & moving them to an external hard drive. I have years of photo's & video still on iPhoto that I had not moved to the external hard drive yet. This problem started after I installed iDvd so I uninstalled it. Also tried to download older iPhoto updates to see if that would resolve the problem. No change - what do I try next?

1. Back up:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2. Reinstall:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Unable to install iDVD

I have been trying for the last couple of weeks to install iDVD. I have iLife 4 and have reinstalled it many times. It is when it is finished there is no iDVD. I have tried Pacifist and still can't find iDVD. I am using a iBook G4, 933 mhz. I don't have a super drive but do have a Lacie firewire external DVD burner. The system recognizes it and says it can burn DVD's. Any help would be appreciated.

Try deleting all of the files with iDVD in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Be sure to run the latest updates followed by a repair of disk permissions afterward.

Installed iDVD from iLife 11 and now iPhoto won't open

Despite the decree from Apple that physical media is dead, I still wanted to make a DVD of something I made in iMovie but I could not find iDVD anywhere on my 2011 Mac Mini. Since iDVD was available in the App Store, I bought a copy of iLife '11 from Amazon and installed iDVD only (everything else was greyed out, except iWeb which I deselected). Now I can no longer open iPhoto! I can't remember the exact dialog box warning, but something about being damaged (I'm away from my Mac). I ran software update and there was an update for iDVD which I installed. I've restarted, I've repaired permissions, and nothing works. I've tried holding down Option while opening iPhoto but it still says it's damaged or incomplete.

In order to burn DVDs which are playable in DVD players (and TV), you need authoring/burning software - Finder cannot do that. It can burn DVDs which will play in computers, but not in DVD players. And yes, there are other burn software solutions; however, not one is close to the capabilities of iDVD.
For the OP: How did you initially obtain iPhoto? I would do a systemwide search and throw anything with iPhoto in the trash (don't empty!) - then reinstall iPhoto from the Mac App Store (if that is where you got it initially). If you can get past those hiccups, iDVD works well with both Lion and Mountain Lion; I have it installed and just finished a big movie project with it.

Performed iDVD update 6.0.2; iDVD not responding

I updated my iLife apps to the latest software updates and now iDVD stops responding/won't load a project.
Additionally, when I try to repair the disk/permissions, the system won't let me click the buttons to perform those actions.
I installed the updates on my iMac G4, and iDVD launches without a problem.

Sue,
I tried the Firmware Restoration CD and nothing happened. The computer didn't show an update status and it didn't restart. I don't think anything was changed. So I reread the instructions and it says:
Note: This CD cannot be used to return an Intel-based Macintosh computer's firmware to a previous version if a successful update has already been performed.
I believe I had already performed a successful update, as I mentioned previously. I don't think this suggestion will be helpful to me.
Thanks,
Brian

Installed iDVD 08 My iDVD 08 quits near the end stages of encoding

Hello
My iDVD 08 unexpectedly quits during end stages of encoding
I installed iDVD 08 per the Apple fix before I even installed the first time. I removed the files stated in the lists the install all of iDVD 08. I did install new Garage Band at the same time, FYI
Rebuilt permissions, used Cocktail to clean up everything. From movie 6 I shared a project with DVD 08, chose one of the new themes, and professional quality encoding. I always burn to image file.
It unexpectedly quit then and tried again. I have plenty of empty disc space.
After the first quit, I dumped the .plist file.
It quit again and now I am trying with still a 08 theme but regular quality encoding.
Any help or ideas?

Not sure what to offer for help here. You have taken the correct steps. I'm assuming you also ran apple's software updater.
Suggestion: Prior to installing any new software I'd recommend you first clone your existing HD as a backup which is what I do using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (assuming your existing HD is fully operative). Then proceed with the software install or update. In the future, always have a backup plan.
Use this only as a very last resort (wait for other suggestions also):

IDVD update 7.02 = lost themes

I just ran the auto-update for iDVD 7.02 and now the themes show only broken links. iDVD was working fine just minutes before the update.
I am using a G-4 laptop, and I do have Quicktime 7.5.5.
Thanks for any help~

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

Help, problem installing iDVD

Yes, I have read other posts on this topic.
I have iLife 9 with iDVD installed with Mountain Lion. iDVD link to download old themes takes you to blank app store page. So, was trying to manually install old themes by marking them as favories. Now iDVD crashes immediatly after launch.
What I have tried:
--Removed all Favorites themes from Application Support-->Library-->iDVD
--Reboot
--Downloaded iDVD 7.1.2update from Apple Support and installed
--Deleted iDVD and tried to install iDVD 7.0.1 from Apple Support but will not install unless previous version installed.
--Tried to reinstall iDVD from iLife disk using custom install but iDVD is greyed out.
--Tried to install iDVD from iLife Package but will not let me install packages individually without using installer.
My next thought would be to reinstall old iLife 9 from disk over newer updated copy. Then I would need to re-download and install software updates for iLife.
Any other suggestions before I nuke iLife?
Thanks,
Hotoru
Rant: Why would Apple put iDVD to pasture while it is still the default means to burn DVDs from iMovie?

First, one should not put their emaill address in a post as that offer it up to spiders that toll forums like this looking for emails to spam. I've asked the Hosts to remove them from your postl
What system are you running? Liion or Mt. Lion.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Wait, I'm a little confused. On my day old iMac running Mavericks, do I install iDVD from my iLife 11 disk, or somehow copy the app from my existing iMac and install it on my new one?

The following may be a bit easier set up the new Mac with the same iDVD capability on your old Mac:
1 - copy your current iDVD application from the old Mac to the Applications folder of the new Mac. The latest version available is 7.1.2. If you don't have that versoin go to the Apple Downloads site and download the iDVD 7.1.2 updater and run it on your current iDVD application.
2 - copy the iDVD folder that resides in the old Mac's HD/Library/Application Support folder to the same folder on your new Mac.

ILife 09 does not install iDVD 09 Themes

I have installed iLife '09, but it does not install iDVD Themes. When I go to /library/application support/iDVD/Themes I only find iDVD 6, and iDVD 7 Themes. How can I recover, or find, iDVD 9 Themes?

Dear Terence
Thanks for your fast response.
I just thought, after posting my question, to have another look in my applications folder and I found in my installers folder along with an "Excode Tools" folder another version of iphoto. This turned out to be the one that I was using in the dock, the other iphoto app. I moved to the dock and this one has updated to 09 OK.
Why would it have migrated there?
I certainly did'nt move it. Does it automatically duplicate when one updates so that you have the choice of returning to the older version?
Although it has never done that before.
Very best wishes

My new 8th gen iPod nano is 'not recognized' by my computer. My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting...

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
Thanks

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

After the last update for OSX 10.9.5, I get messages stating that I need to re-install the update because it did not install properly - How do I do this

On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update. I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?

You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.
