Hi Paul,
Back again...
Sorry to verify again, but did you locate the iDVD.pkg in the receipts folder, and moved that away to reinstall iDVD? if so then I guess you'r not far away from reinstalling. You can use the "Archive and install" procedure, to keep your system/account and password/email settings etc. as they were. It might occur that for some of the (third) party software you need to re-enter the softwarekey's.
Before taking this step I would advise to look at the Mac OSX-download page for the combo installer of 10.3.9. (that's the system you are running right ?), and run this installer. If that doesn't solve the problem an archive and install procedure from your original disks is probably the way to go.
In your case before doing so I would make sure to verify the condition of your sytemdisk. Run from the install disk the disk utility, (so don't install OSX yet. for the procedure check your manual). If your disk is ok you can run the archive and install procedure.
It is wise to backup all your data to your second drive including your extra applications. You cannot simply copy your system though . You can use a utillity called "carbon copy cloner", look at versiontracker) free/shareware. Check after using this, if your system will boot from your second harddisk (it's internally I suppose if not it might not work). If that's ok you will have a full working back-up of your present system.
Good luck
Ben

  • Portege R700 - fonts in main Window has changed

    Hello,
    I have pre-installed on my Toshiba Portege R700 AuthenTec Truesuite version 3.0.1.149. After couple of days of good performance the font from the main window has changed becoming impossible to read. Probably I change some settings in Windows and also this font changed because for sure I did not change anything in your application. Having in mind that my OS is Windows XP Professional, SP3, pelse be so kind and help me with a solution to revert to standard fonts.
    thank you,
    Best regards,

    Hi
    I assume you are speaking about the fonts in the Internet Explorer window.
    Right?
    Please check the option View in the menubar. Zoom should be set to 100% and Textsize should be set to medium.
    Furthermore you can check the settings in control panel -> display -> Appearance tab
    There you will find option called Font size. In my case its set to Normal.
    Try it out.

  • Safari extensions window has gone blank

    Hey everyone!
    My safari extensions window has gone blank. I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4, and I recently downloaded some extensions from the Apple Site.
    I've trashed the Library/Safari/Extensions plist folder and re-booted but this has not helped. I can install them but not manage them through the preferences > extensions window. Any advice appreciated.

    Have you done disk repair ? Oopen disk utility select the HD then (after turning off all other programs) run Verify Disk, then repair permissions.
    I was told when I got my first computer that before installing new, and after installing new software, repair disk permnissions.
    I hope that helps.

  • VIEWER WINDOW HAS GONE WHITE?

    Ok - strange occurence. I was creating subclips from a clip file when I think my finger hit a button and suddenly the viewer window went white. When I hit the play button or space bar the clip image appeared and plays fine. But when I hit pause the viewer window goes white again. When double clicking on another clip the screen still appears white until I hit play. Not sure what I did, but would love to get back to normal mode. I would really appreciate any ideas or insight.

  • Firefox window has gone to a completely black/ opaque mix with no buttons or tabs.

    Have reinstalled but the condition persists.
    Can't reset because no buttons.
    Help!

    hello, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Main window dissapears

    Hi
    Have been using logic express 8 for a wee while, but i've done something I don't know how to undo - or the computer has.
    I have been working on a track for my composition assignment, and now the main window has dissapeared... just on that song... other songs open fine....
    maybe I just spent too long fluffing around on the track and it's gone kabudle... I'm growing to hate the track I have listened to it so much - perhaps the computer is reading my mind, and doesn't want to see that track any more! lol
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I figured out what was wrong... just went into the window menu and pushed arrange... don't know why I didn't think about that before I posted here! Thanks anyway.

  • What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

    hello all
    what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
                                                2) Variable Window
                                                3) Main Window   in SAP SCRIPT

    Hi,
    Window Types
    When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
    You can choose between three types:
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Variable Windows (VAR)
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
    Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
    Variable Windows (VAR) 
    The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
    The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
    the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
    The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
    Main Windows (MAIN) 
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
    For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
    It controls the page break.
    It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
    output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
    The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
    If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
    This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
    In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
    For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

  • [Urgent] How to Print Main Window Twice ??

    Hi Everyone,

  • Smartform - Main window

    Hello,
    I need to create a smartform with the following behaviour:
    When the page shown is the last one, the main window has to take half page. On the other hand, when the page shown is not the last one, its main window has to take almost the whole page (I need a bigger main window).
    When only exists one page, the first page is also the last one.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricard.

    Hello Oscar,
    Its Possible, as I feel.
    Just need to design 2 pages.
    PAGE1: Keep the header and item part as you want to.
    PAGE2: copy the MAIN WINDOW of PAGE1 to PAGE2.
                 Increase the size of the MAIN WINDOW in page2 .This is the flexibility that smartform gives and
                 we don't get this main window resizing facility in SAPscript it remain same in first and second
                 page.
    Navigate to : loop->table->footer.
    Create folder and under folder create window to display your footer details.
    And please unckeck the check box "On page break" in the footer condition tab.
    Hope the discussion was helpful. Revert back in case of any further issues.
    Cheers

    ( In my scenario, it's possbile the either one of the element may have more then 10 record but 11th record should print in that section of Next Page )
    Next page should display starting with record 11 on subsequent elements. How can i accomplish this scenario.
    I apperciate your help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    in driver program, count the sy-tabix if it reaches '11', then call the FM 'CONTROL_FORM' and in the command give 'NEW-PAGE' and then call the WRITE_FORM of 2nd element.
    write code like below in ur driver program.
    eg:
    data : gv_tabix.
    LOOP AT itab.
    gv_tabix = sy-tabix.
      IF sy-tabix LE 10.
       call function 'WRITE_FORM'
        EXPORTING
          element = element1
        EXCEPTIONS
        ENDIF.
        IF gv_tabix GT 10.
           call function 'CONTROL_FORM'
             exporting
                command = 'NEW-PAGE'.
           clear gv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
        IF sy-tabix GT 10.
           call function 'WRITE_FORM'
        EXPORTING
          element = element2
        EXCEPTIONS
        ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    dont forget to give NEXT PAGE for first page as 'FIRST PAGE' name.
    Hope it resolves

  • What is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS

    what is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS, y we con't create a script w/o main window.
    Title was edited by:
            Alvaro Tejada Galindo

    Hi
    See this
    What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
    Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
    The different types of windows are:
    MAIN - Main Window
    The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
    Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
    VAR - Variable Window
    This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
    CONST - Constant Window
    The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
    • It controls the page break.
    • It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    • It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
    Variable Windows (VAR)
    The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

  • Main Window in SAP Script

    Hi Guys,
    I wanted to know as to why is it possible to create multiple main window in SAP Script.
          In most theory it is written a SAP Script can only use 1 main window, If thats the case why is it still possible to create more than 1 of them.
          Can you explain its use and functionality.
    Helpful answers will be duly rewarded.

    Hi,
    U can have multiple main windows in Sapscripts(Upto 99)
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:-
    ? It controls the page break.
    ? It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    ? It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
    If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page. This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop. In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
    For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.
    The diffetent Output areas of main window are
                                                                      TOP
                                                                      BODY
                                                                      BOTTOM
    its use and functionality.*
    Suppose you have requirement that you r displaying data from two line item tables which can flow multiple pages.
    In this case u have to use multiple mail windows.

  • Smartform doesn't show preview when the records exceed the main window size

    Hi
    When i print the smart form having line items exceeding the main window size on the page it does not show the preview. The internal table loop goes into infinite loop. Is there any means whereby if the records don't fit on the main window of the page will be continued to the next page. Right now I have no clue how it is to be resolved. I feel the problem is in layout, as when i remove the main window the internal table code works fine and it does not move in infinite loop. Please help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I have deleted the table from main window and instead inserted a loop.
    Also i created the two pages. But the problem still persists.
    But for my requirement my each line item in the main window has 3 lines.
    Also my layout will be the same for all pages so is there a need to create a new page.
    Is there any mechanism whereby if the line items dont fit on the mainwindow of the page will automatically continue on another page without having to define it.. please guide? Right now the smartform goes in infinite loop if it doesn't fit in main window size
    Thanks
