My iDVD Themes Appear As Broken Chain

I just purchased a new iMac...Love it.  The trouble is that when I open iDVD, my themes appear as a broken chain.  Can anyone tell me what happened and how I might fix it?  Thanks!  I really appreciate it.

Glad to hear you got this resolved!
If you don't mind, could you please update the post title to say [SOLVED], or SOLVED, or something like that.

  • "Broken chain link" icon appears when trying iTunes store

    It's really slow going trying to reach the store right now. When I do, I get all these broken chain link icons in place of pictures. Also, my podcasts are loading in a lightning-fast 45 minutes each. This is a fairly new developement, it's been about a week now. I can't find much helpful info around the forums so far. Anyone?

    I have a few questions since most likely we will have to figure this out on our own. I have this problem occur a few times in a day however it is random.
    My system:
    Vista Ultimate 32bit
    Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0
    Web browswer: Exporer 8.0.6
    Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
    Ram: 4GB
    Genius Settings: off
    Itunes View: Cover Flow
    Keyboard / Mouse: Logitech bluetooth MX5500
    I have also experienced very sluggish performance with itunes store browsing/serach and have yet to figure that out. It started with Itunes 7
    If we can find a common issue we may be able to figure this out as a group.

  • Images in slideshow became BROKEN CHAINS. Suddenly won't work. Please Help!

    I need to give this iDVD to my friend who's leaving the country TODAY. Your help is much appreciated:
    I made the DVD and it was all running smoothly and seemed to burn OK, but when it was done burning most of the pictures (but not all) in the slideshows turned into a broken chain with black and yellow stripes on the top and bottom. Why did this happen?? I don't know why they became this, there was no problem before. Some of the pictures are OK, seems random.
    If you could tell me how to get my pictures back to replace these broken chains so I can reburn the DVD where all the pictures work. Please Help!

    Yeah I realized I had moved images to a different folder. I moved them back and am burning a new DVD right now. Thanks for the quick response & have a great day! :]

  • Broken Chain logo

    I am trying to burn a slideshow on iDVD. It appears to burn properly but then when I try to play the disc, a broken chain appears. What does this mean? How do I resolve? Thanks for any help.

    After it burned, the broken chain logo appeared where the slide show was supposed to be on my computer screen. And then when I took the disc out and re-inserted it and tried to play the DVD on my computer, the broken chain logo appeared again in the place where the slide show was supposed to be. I have burned other slide shows and this has never happened before. Thanks for any advice.. HELP!!!

  • 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

  • No art work in iTunes, lots of broken chain icons

    When we start up iTunes and go to the iTunes store, no artwork or photographs appear, and in their place there are "broken chain" icons. In addition the iTunes Store window is without color; it is black & white & gray. The store seems to work normally otherwise. Does anyone know the problem/solution?

    Sounds like there is a firewall or web accelerator blocking part of the store. This article should help:

  • Broken chain icon

    Downloded new iTune release but now I cant enter my country music store(italy). In Music Store section, my country is now shown with a broken chain: what does it means? With previous versions everithing worked well for years...... Somebody may please help?

    Not likely: 600x600 is the specified size, but the Store will display images in odd sizes too, though it may distort them. It's probably just the same glitch that is annoying a lot of other people, though as the OP hasn't given us any details it's not possible to check whether it's something wrong at his end.

  • 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.

  • Broken chain picture links on my itunes store account

    When I pull up my iTunes store there are no pictures and instead there is a grey outline of where the picture should be and a broken chain. What does this mean and how do i fix it??
    Really annoying!!!

    Thanks Nick - but why is the iTunes Store okay on the other (main admin) user's account running off of the same HD? I think it's a Quicktime (component) thing but don't know why and still don't know how to fix the broken link problem in my iTunes Store account. Have re-downloaded QT 7.5 but still no joy. It seems that all the QT components are there and okay when logged into the main user's account but when I switch to mine all the QT components have "no entry signs" on them presumably meaning that I do not have the correct permissions to access them. Have tried changing all the 'Sharing & Permissions' preferences to 'Read & Write' privilege's but to no avail. Have also tried copying duplicates of all the components through the sharing folder but it just reverses the problem. Have also tried copying all the QT components through my iDisk but again no joy. They just seem to turn into 'folders' with "no entry signs" icon'd on them. Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!

  • Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two? iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first

    Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Using idvd themes in imovie and photshop?

    hi,
    i would like to use idvd themes for the cover art of a dvd and sounds for imovie clips. therefore, i wanted to know if and how it's possible to find the image-file of an idvd theme so that i can import it into photoshop, as well if and how i can find the sound-file of an idvd theme so that i can use it in imovie. i would be happy if i can avoid using extra software like audio hijack pro etc. to extract the sound and graphics. is there's an easy way to find and use those files?
    regards,

    You can look in the parcel contents, richt click or control click, than in the "contents" folder the "Recources" folder there you can find "tif" files.
