Unable to view theme

When I open the iDVD project I can hear the music but no picture of the theme I have chosen. On the DVD map it appears but not on the preview. I am at a loss. I have read through the threads and tried someone's suggestion of deleting the iDVD preference file to fix this problem but to no avail. Any other suggestions?

I'm experiencing the exact same issue.
I figure this is what it looks like:

I might guess that you have:
either Mac OS 10.5.4 or .3
Quicktime 7.4 or earlier
read this:

It's obvious we're in the same hole.
NOW YOU MIGHT BE EASIER TO SOLVE DEPENDING WHETHER
you use or need iMovie HD.
If you DO then I'm sorry we're stuck as of now.
If you DON'T then I might be able to help you.
1. Update your Quicktime to 7.5.
2. Update iDVD to 7.0.2: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/idvd702.html
3. Get back to me if that solved your issue.

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
    1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure.  This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
    2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have  to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
    3.  Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying. 
    OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
    Maybe I should think about a new computer.

  • I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC.  Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

    I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB.  1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio.  Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community?  Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

  • Photo Folders, unable to view them

    I can see photos from a particular folder,  but when I go to photo folders all I see is a black box. I am unable to see them but it will scroll thru them? I can select a random location in the black box & it will the change photos but I never know what I going to get.
    I tried closing FCP then open iPhoto first & then open FPC but no good.

  • Unable to View .mod files in Photoshop Elements 11, can see they are there but no picture, I import them into Premiere and all OK ?

    I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • Unable to view MMS in message conversations. Do they expire?

    +iPhone 3GS 16GB running Firmware 3.1.2 on O2 UK. (5GB+ Free Space)+
    *I am unable to view older MMS on my iPhone.*
    Earlier in the week a friend sent me some MMS, but since then has text everyday, when I scroll to the top of conversation to view the MMS I am unable to view them. One MMS I can see the small preview and the blue arrow which lets you view in full screen, however this does not work. I also cant copy or forward the preview. Where there are meant to be other MMS, all I can see is the blue arrow yet again it does not workn and no preview.
    In another conversation from a month ago, the most recent message is an MMS which does work, but in the same conversation I am having the same issues with older MMS.
    Actions Taken:
    Restarted iPhone, this did not solve the issue.
    Deleted all message conversations apart from one, but deleted all texts and kept two MMS, this did not solve the issue.
    Restarted iPhone again, this did not solve the issue.
    Did a full restore on iPhone to bring back all message converstations that were deleted, still did not solve the issue.
    I would say the MMS files is still there somewhere, but how can I get to them?

    I have checked through other message conversations, one does have MMS and I am able to view in full screen, I checked the others again and when I click the blue arrow for full screen, it just shows the most recent picture in my photo album.
    What is the problem here, everything worked fine when I first got them, why not now?

  • Unable to View Pictures in Editor

    I just got back from vacation and imported my photos to iPhoto. They show up in the library but I am unable to view them in the editor. I see a dotted line square around a small exclamation point. This is the case with most of my photos, though there are a few that I can see. I also have the facebook exporter installed. When I try to export the photos I can't see iPhoto quits unexpectedly, but everything is fine for those photos I can see.
    Anybody know what's up?
    Thanks a bunch,
    Sam

    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library. Any time you access that Library using the Finder or any other app you risk damaging it. The entire point of iPhoto is that you do all your work in the iPhoto Window.
    For instance: Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    Really, your options now are to restore from your back up or re-create the library from scratch.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    fyi There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT4095 I recently purchased 2 movies ( the crooks and White House down) but was unable to watch them.  Every time I tried it said not loading.  So I would like to know how I get reimbursed for these from iTunes?

    I recently purchased 2 movies and was unable to view them.  It kept saying unable to load movie when it had clearly downloaded. How do I get reimbursed for these 2 movies as I was unable to watch them and am pretty fed up with iTunes right now?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the films from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if they re-download with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When viewed prior to sending, the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

    Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
    Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?

  • Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

    Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.
    I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

    You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
    You need to delete some item on the iPad.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

  • UNABLE TO VIEW ANY FILES IN TRASH, AND UNABLE TO DELETE THEM.

    Hi i wondered if someone can help ,me on this one as i have searched for an answer and nothing works.
    I have upgraded to my new iMac and migrated all my files over, i have now deleted some of the unwanted files and folders, to free up space.
    HOWEVER - i have tried deleting them and cant, so as some of them are locked i went back into the trash to unlock them and even though there are thousands of files in the trash none of them are viewable, so i cant drag them back out, drag them to the terminal window or anything.
    I have repaired privileges
    I have tried to use the terminal window and delete files, but cant view them to drag them
    I have tried to secure deleted them
    My problem is i cant view the files so i cant do anything with them.
    Does any one have any ideas,
    should i try to delete the .trash file as i think someone mentioned in which case how do i do that.
    Any help would be fantastic. Thank you in advance
    Kris Watson

    I have managed to resolve this problem (however it is still deleting the files so fingers are crossed still.) Thanks for the help by the way.
    A friend showed me a way to do it, thought ide put it out there so people might benefit from it.
    I restarted with the shift key pressed down. after about 4-5 mins it starts in Safe Boot mode, ive logged in, and started to secure delete the files and it seems as though it is working although very slowly as there are thousands of files.
    The reason the are so many files is that they are all 'old' time machine back ups from my old powerbook. Me being the extra cautious bunny that i am have several copies of every file anyway 'just in case', so it will take house but it will free up huge amounts of space.
    thanks again
