Missing Menu buttons in iDVD themes

Strange behavior/problem with applying iDVD 7.0 themes: an alert triangle appears in the DVD map view warning that "Menu contain no buttons." This occurs in the "Forever" theme's "Main" as well as "Chapters" graphics. What should I do ---is this an indication that the iDVD Theme's files are corrupted---if so, what fix is there? Many thanks for any help.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder, User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

IDVD 7 not allowing 12 menu buttons

I am using iDVD 7 and have done submenus to allow me to get all the shorts on the DVD. On one submneu there are 12 menu buttons but iDVD says there are more than 12 and will not allow me to burn the disc! I have finished everything and need a way to overwrite this if possible??! There are only 12 buttons on the menu it is unhappy with so this should work (the theme allows 12 buttons). I have checked the map and there are not any extra videos anywhere either. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The back button in the menu that takes you to the previous menu is included in the 12 allowed buttons. Therefore, there's only 11 active, user added buttons allowed in submenus. The top menu can hold 12 as there is no back button.

My new Menu Button that came with the latest update is now missing.

I removed the button because it was bothering me thinking there would be no repercussions but now I can't find it because it contained the customization menus. I have searched through the other menu options but the only route to the customization is now hidden in the now missing button.

Are you using the Classic Theme Restorer extension?
*You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

IDVD 6: Menu buttons don't show up from iDVD 5 project

I have an iDVD 5 project that I opened in iDVD 6. It consists of 3 slideshows. (There was an issue with it not seeing the iPhoto 6 photos, but that's another issue I posted in the iPhoto forum.)
The buttons that show the slideshows do not show up in iDVD 6. But if I go to map view, the slideshows show up and I can go into them and see all the slides are there and I can preview them. (Well, when it doesn't crash.)
I tried creating new menus but those don't show up either (although, oddly enough, at one point I added a new menu and the title of one of the slideshows showed up!). This project had the Travel theme in iDVD 5.
So in summary: the menu buttons to start the slideshows don't show up when I open the project in iDVD 6. They also don't show up in the title (main) menu when I preview it in iDVD 6. I haven't yet tried actually burning a DVD.
Any suggestions?

The -34506 error. Welcome to a world of frustration and wasted evenings. There are plenty of threads here with suggestions on 'rules' for setting up your slideshows in iMovie, clearing caches, creating new users etc. These have fixed this particular error for some people.
Good luck!

IDVD 6 Chapter Menu Buttons all leading to 1st Chapter/New problem.

I've got a pressing issue never previously encountered. iDVD 6 Chapter Menu Buttons all leading to 1st Chapter! I've tried reloading the iMovie file after checking chapter markers. The problem has persisted. This is due to client tomorrow. I've been trying to understand the problem since yesterday, but a workaround solution is acceptable now. Please respond soon. Thank you. -bhgallen

bhgallen,
Were your chapter markers placed in accord with: Setting chapter markers at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1110.html ?
It reads in part: IMPORTANT: You cannot add a chapter marker to the very beginning or end of your movie. (iMovie HD automatically adds an initial chapter marker at the beginning of a movie.) It's also a good idea not to add a chapter marker within a transition, or within one second of a transition or other chapter marker. If you do so, other applications may have trouble recognizing the chapter markers.

Plug-Ins menu button is missing?

Hallo!
I am new to Adobe Indesign and the plugins programming.
I am using Adobe Indesign CS3 and want to use a sample plugin.
But the Plug-Ins menu button is missing? What can I do?
Thanks
Alois Blaimer

First, did you put the plugin in the right place in the application folder?
Second, is it active when you go to Help > Configure Plugins...?
Third, did you mean plugin's menu command (a command inserted into some menu by the plugin) or do you think there is some general plugins menu that is missing?

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu? When I click to get menu info, the "TravelAudio" audio is listed, but it won't play. The volume is not the issue, it just isn't there.

Hi
First of all - I would try to trash the iDVD pref file (or rather start a new User-account and log into this and re-try).

IDVD Sub Menu Button Thumbnails Not 'Sticking'

I've searched on here and there seems to be lots of people having lots of problems but not the problem I'm having.
I have been using iDVD for a number of years and have generally been pretty happy with it. This is the first time I have used iDVD '08 and it has been problem after problem. I have finally almost finished my project and now I'm stuck. I have tried to changed the images on some sub menu buttons but as soon as I go to a different sub menu or view the buttons change back to a generic sub menu icon or folder icon. This has really got me stumped now.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a drag and drop of iDvd's pref file to the trash and restarting your laptop?
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Use the finder to look for this item/s and then drag it to the trash. It often helps to simply restart your computer and try again.
Good luck.

Firefox menu button missing on Android (4.4.2)

Firefox mobile on my Android is missing a menu button.
It used to have a three dot icon in the top right corner which opened a menu, but this disappeared (i'm not sure when).
My phone has no default menu button of its own and I have tried reinstalling the app, but the menu icon is still missing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved.
I have figured out that since an update, in order to access the menu/settings in Firefox on my phone, I now need to hold down the inbuilt button on the bottom right of my phone. This button ordinarily brings up apps stored in cache for quick access.
I hope this helps anyone else with this problem.
Also the exact same thing applies to the lastpass app on my phone.

I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?

I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR. I "fixed" the problem by:
1. Uninstall Lightroom
2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application.

IDVD themes missing

I have iDVD 7.0.4 on my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to open the program. As it opens, a display pops up that says, "Loading themes". After that, iDVD closes. I recently moved my Themes folder from the desktop to the iDVD-CNTRL+Click-Show package contents--plugins- and created a folder called "Themes". Should the folder be called "Themes" or something else? I suspect that's my issue.

I am encountering a similar problem with iDVD on my new MBP with Mountain Lion. I installed iDVD as a custom install from my iLife 11 original disk. With that I had themes 6 and 7 only with the older themes greyed out. I clicked on one of the greyed out themes and received the message that I could get an update, but it goes to the apps store and simply stops there.
So I copied the themes 1-5 from the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder that I have on my older MBP with Snow Leopard. I then copied those themes into the Themes folder on my new MBP. I did a repair permissions from disk utility and rebooted. However when I open up iDVD themes from 6 and 7 are ok but the old themes all appear just as a yellow triangle. There seems to be a broken link there somewhere.
I tried downloading update 7.0.1 and opened it with Pacifist. There were only Themes 5,6,7, in there. I tried adding themes 5 out of 7.0.1 into the Application Support/iDVD/Themes folder on my MBP with Mountain Lion, tried repairing permissions (none to repair) rebooted and then tried iDVD, but while themes 6 and 7 are ok, it does not recognise the Themes 5 folder or any of the older themes.
Any suggestions as to what I can do next? Philip

Missing All My IDVD Themes

I've read the previous posts on this and tried "Pacifist" on my original OS X.2 disk plus ILife 4 disk (Can't find 10.4 disk right now). When I opened IDVD 5 for the first time it said I had no themes and should reinstall. I do have a 2 year old who gets a little "mouse happy" he could have deleted the themes folder because I can't find one. I cant even find IDVD listed on my install disk and the Ilife 4 custom install doesn't seem to let me just select "Themes". My only option at this point seems to be to revert back to IDVD 4. At least until I can find the 5 disk(two year old). Any suggestions?

Hi Lance,
From reading at the start of your 1st post in this thread . It sounds like you may have corrupted some things that related to iDVD rather than your 2-year old actually deleted the themes since iDVD themes are imbedded inside the iDVD application package itself, even some adults couldn't find them.
A complete reinstallation is a good idea. As you said, before the reinstallation, you do need to get rid of iDVD 5 and also everything containing the iDVD name in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Since you just want to reinstall iDVD only, depending on the install discs you have, some bundled software discs are packaged differently, you may be able to use the custom install option of the install disc, if not, then you have to use the Pacifist application to do the custom install, usually iDVD.mpkg is what you want to find and install. As you going through each up version, the installation script always looks at the default Applications folder during the upgrade, don't move the iDVD application to anywhere.

How do I make a "Title Menu Button" that is an Arrow?

I am using DVD 08 with iMovie 06.
I set my chapters using iMovie 06. When I shared with iDVD 08 everything looked OK.
I normally do six scenes however this time I wanted eight. In the past when using iDVD 08 (or iDVD 06) there is always a blue arrow in the scene selection menu that when selected would take you back to the main menu.
For some reason I do not have the Blue arrow. I was able to create a new "Title Menu Button" but none of the options I can find is the default blue arrow.
If iDVD defaults to the blue arrow in this location why can't I find it as one of the many choices iDVD gives for a Title Menu Button?

Hello, Ziatron,
I use the same, iM6 with iDVD 8.
I am not sure I follow you. You mean that you make 6 or 8 chapter markers for this movie?
What theme are you using? If you use a theme that places 6 scenes on a submenu, iDVD will automatically create a second submenu with the remaining 2 scenes. Each submenu has 2 arrows to allow you to go back to the previous menu, or to the next submenu, except the last submenu which has only 1 arrow to go back to the previous menu.
If you want all 8 scenes on the first submenu, you can go to the submenu with the last 2 scenes and select them, then 'Copy' then go back to the first submenu and 'Paste' them. You may have to reposition the scene titles to accomodate the new ones. Be sure to go back once again to the submenu and delete the copied scenes. When you do that, go back to the previous submenu where all 8 scenes are, and you will see that the forward arrow to the last submenu is no longer present, since there are no longer any scenes to be in a separate submenu.
I have made over 100 movies, each with many scenes, but I don't have any submenus that show an arrow to return to the main menu, unless there is only one submenu.
If you want to add an entire submenu....say of extra photos/videos/etc. you can use the + button on the lower left of the iDVD screen to add. A folder will appear on the menu to which you have added the submenu, and when you open the folder, you will see the new submenu, with its return arrow.
You can change the folder icon to just a title using the 'Buttons' tab, but you cannot create navigation arrows yourself.
Please post back if I am missing your question.

Menu Buttons not working

I have produced a DVD from movies made in imovie HD 6.0.3 using iDVD version 6.0.4 and find that the buttons cannot all be selected by the DVD player remote control and also the buttons do not appear to be navigated in the correct order. I would appreciate some advive, please.

Different themes seem to work differently, but in general I have found that the buttons in iDVD created DVDs don't always behave like commercial DVDs in respect to what happens when I hit buttons on my DVD player remote. It been that way as long as I remember.
iDVD includes MANY simplifying assumptions that make things easier for home users. If you want full control of what the menu buttons do, you need something like DVD Studio Pro. Most of us just live with the 'quirks'.
