  • Can't Install Old Themes (using iDVD '08 on Leopard)

    Hello,
    I have a problem opening old projects (created using iDVD 3 or 4, can't remember) in iDVD '08 because I'm not able to install the old themes that are necessary. When I try to download the themes the software update program doesn't seem to find them as an available update. Trying to install them from my Max OS X disc fails with an error message that I need at least iDVD version 7.0.
    Any ideas?

    iDVD will be on the system install disk. Use Pacifist to locate, extract and install iDVD from it. Move your current iDVD to another location or rename it so you can go back to it after the themes are installed. You might even be able to locate the themes package with Pacifist and just extract and install them. I'd look at that first.

  • How to get Old Themes into iDVD 7.1.2?

    I'm running iDVD 7.1.2 on an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1.  When I open an iDVD project I have access to theme for iDVD 7 and iDVD 6.  When try to select an Old Theme a window opens inviting me to install additional themes by choosing Download Now.
    However, when I choose OK to download now the App Store opens to the Update screen and tells me there are no updates available.  What gives?  How are the old themes to be installed?

    Did you have all of the themes previously on the iMac?  Look in the Home/LIbrary/Applicatiion Support/iWeb folder or in the HD/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if all the themes are there.
    Did your Mac or a previous Mac come with install disks and was iDVD preinstalled on it?  If so and you still have the disks you can use those disks  to do a custom install of iDVD's themes,  If you have trouble getting the disks to work you can always use  Pacifist to extract and install just the themes. 
    Otherwise you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier 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?
    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.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    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 qualty 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.

  • IDVD old themes

    Hallo!
    I'do like to know where i can download the old themes for IDVD.
    I have The 7.0 themes, the 6.0 themes but i can't use the old themes.
    Do you know where i can download and install them?
    Thx
    Richard

    If you have access to a Mac that hat all of the themes you can copy the iDVD folder that resides in the HD/LIbrary/Application Support or the ~/Library/Application Support folder to the same location on your Mac, replacing the existing folder there.  That should give you access to all themes.  Otherwise a purchase of the iLife 09 disk is needed to get all themes.

  • IDVD 08 "old themes" won't download in Software Update

    I have iDVD '08 (v7.0.1 1091) installed from an iLife 08 DVD running on a Macbook Pro with 10.5.4
    This is my first time using iDVD, and I want to use one of the old themes that are grayed out. I get 3 options to install the old themes
    1 and 2 are "download now" or "download later", which are both supposed to download the themes the next Software Update runs. I've tried both options several times, though, and the themes never show up in Software UPdate.
    Furthermore, the 3rd option is "install from DVD" and it asks for Mac OS X Install Disc 2. When i try this option, in put in disc 2, then the package opens and starts the install and it says "This update required iDVD version 7.0 or newer", which I obviously have....

    EDIT - i completely reinstalled iDVD from the OS X discs, then went through the disc-based theme installation again, and now I have all the themes.
    Nonetheless, it would still be nice for the Software Update theme installation to work...

  • Idvd download "Old Themes"

    Hello
    Can anyone please tell me about downloading the "old theme"s to my new imac. The message gives me 3 options. The internet download is 302MB and after watching the spinning beachball for about 1/2 hour I force quit and tried to log off and got blue screen with spinning clock thing and finally had to do a hard shutdown. So, was it really doing the download (spinning beachball) or was it just stuck? Did I over react? How long will it take? Is there an easier way?
    This is really, really, REALLY important because I have dozens of archived idvd projects with old themes attached AND iMovies (version 5) of those idvds that aren't supported with leopard!!! To recreate them is, well, impossible! I have all the pieces parts but not the time or the patience to reassemble them. Some are pretty long & involved. At least I archived a version of each iMovie in idvd ,,, but now THIS .. another hoop to jump thru! Please advise,
    Thank you,
    Beth

    SDMacuser,
    I finally figured out what the idvd message was telling me about using the 2nd disk to install extra media. Success! Didn't have to download.
    I will NOT be switching to leopard for my ibook at all. Tiger is just fine. At least I can tweak my OLD imovies, create an archived idvd version, and transfer them to an external to burn on the imac (my ibook doesn't have a dvd burner and a patch to use my lacie firewire burner hasn't worked yet). It's like going around the block just to get next door.
    Thanks for your input!

  • How to make movie in iDVD without themes.  iDVD app quitting during burning

    I am trying to make movie without themes and still having problems. I have tried using the map view in themes, dragging movie into the first box on left, looping it - but am seeing a yellow error sign in the theme box. Don't know why this is. Have tried to burn movie anyway but iDVD app quits halfway thru. Today I tried just simply going to iDVD >file>onestep DVD from movie>select movie and inserting disc. This seems to be the simple solution I have been looking for to burn a movie without themes but iDVD still quit on me halfway thru burning just now. Is this a space problem? Disc problem? help...

    OK F Shippey - Using this computer for anything other than email is pretty new to me. I have just recently began using imovie and idvd. I have burned one idvd and working on a second. While making the movie I was constantly having to delete old footage to make room for space. In other words I don't know much about space and usage. I know that in my new imovie project it says that i have 7.53 Gb available. I know i have a Lacie external with one DVD on it. So what do i need to know about space on a hard drive while using imovie? How do you monitor how much hard drive space you have while working on projects like this? Do I find this info in About This Mac? Sorry for so many dumb questions. Clearly I don't know what I am doing. Thanks for your reply.

  • Moving panes from 4.0 and Old Themes does not move/motion on burned DVD

    I have iDVD 5.0.1 (626) and am in the process of creating DVD menus. iDVD 5 gives you the option of using menu Themes from *5.0, 4.0* and *Old Themes*. I have noticed that the sliding pane feature found in Montage in 4.0 and +Moving Bars+ in *Old Themes* function properly when creating the menus (and you click on "Motion"). But after the DVD has burned (both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs), the moving panes are not moving.
    Why no motion?
    Message was edited by: pacobell73

    It's possible in that version of iDVD that there's no motion unless you click the motion button before you burn the disc (looks like a man walking; button turns green when clicked).

  • LOST old THEMES in iMovie

    After installing iLife 06 I have lost all my old themes in my iMovie. What do I do about it???

    Hi Dhinoo:
    There were no themes in previous iMovie versions. Perhaps you mean iDVD themes?

  • How to install old themes on Tiger

    Hey folks,
    I bought iLife 08 or whatever (iWorks maybe?) with my MacBook Pro back in the days of Tiger, installed it and am now running iDVD 7.0.3 and missing the older themes. I have not gone over to Leopard although I got it with the MBPro.
    I read up on it and see that I am to reinsert the original installation disks and run the Additional Software installer. No can do- there IS only the Optional Software installer and it did not do the trick. In fact I ought not have done it... Am worried I overwrote perfectly good, updated, apps with old versions. Hmm...
    Is there somewhere where I can get the old themes, perhaps even just pick and choose? I am only interested in Wedding Silver, Picture in Picture and a couple of the others like the one with the old cine projector.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I used Google for some more themes and eventually also installed iLife's ones again. Not ideal but at least there are a few new ones. Now- if we could completely customise them...?

  • Old themes on new computer

    I have a new iMac and came with the latest version of iLife. Now how would I get back my old themes onto my computer. Never had any older version of iLife on this computer it's brand new.

    Sue,
    Well Yes, But I'm not one of-.. "those" you know.
    If you want you can get to know me well. We get along so we shouldn't argue And I don't know, said I don't know, All these feelings just cloud up my reasoning. Cloud up my reasoning (MB20)
    Besides, right, wrong or otherwise I'll be on your side. If for no other reason than the fact that your namesake is synonymous with an argument you simply don't want to be on the wrong side of.
    Anyway we both missed the fact that the themes appeared to be iMovie themes because the iDVD button used to be in iMovie along with the clip, photo, effects etc. buttons.
    My defense is insanity, what's yours?
    (pause)
    Those: We came here for a good argument!
    Us: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument!
    Those: An argument isn't just contradiction.
    Us: Well! it CAN be!
    Those: No it can't!
    An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a
    proposition.
    Us: No it isn't!
    Those: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.
    Us: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position!
    Those: Yes but it isn't just saying "no it isn't".
    Us: Yes it is!

  • Using "old themes" on new computer

    I purchased an iMac core duo and moved the prefs & progs via Apples firewire transfer program. I tried to open an old iDVD project and got an "old theme missing" error message.
    I found the old themes in my G4 iMac and copied the to a portable firewire harddrive. I opened the same folder on the iMac core duo and found themes for iDVD's 3, 4 & 5, but the others were missing. I copied the files exactally as they were on my iMac G4, left the window open and opened the iDVD project. Not only did I get the same "old theme not found" error message but I watched as the iMac erased the old themes I had just copied!
    By the way, the "old themes" work fine on my iMac G4 with iDVD 6.
    Am I doing something wrong? How can I use these old themes on my new iMac?
    Thanks.

    Good to hear it worked!
    I've heard less than stellar reports about that migration tool. I've used Superduper with great success, thanks to a heads-up by John Beatty1.
