Used Bengt's suggestion re: problem with iDVD not launching

iDVD 08 wouldn't launch after using it earlier today. Reviewed posts - repaired permissions and trashed fcp prefs but still wouldn't launch. Then followed Bengt's suggestion re: moving com.apple.iDVD.plist to desktop and I am now able to open iDVD. Thanks buddy!!
So my question is this . . . do I just leave it on the desktop or ??
thanks
Craig

Be sure to give Bengt a green star for 'solved' question He works hard to give out all that helpful information!

  • Problems with IDVD not properly playing on my tv's dvd player

    I made a movie in iMovie using the scrapbook theme.  I produced a DVD on iDVD.  The DVD will not play on my televsion's DVD player properly.  Part of the picture is missing. Any help?

    Hi
    iDVD 6 has two levels of qualities.
    • Best Quality (movies up to 120 min) - slightly lower quality than - se below
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min) - Highest quality on final DVD
    in iDVD’08 there is even a Pro-Quality (120 min) - very good.
    If You need to press in more - You lose quality - even worse than VHS.
    • Then You need another program to do the .mpeg2 code eg Roxio Toast™
    or COSTLY - Copressor (part of FinalCut Studio bundle) Here You should
    be able to squees in about 4h on a SL DVD. BUT still quality is reduced.

  • Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

    Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
    Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
    My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
    Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
    I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
    Self use Verbatim DVD-R
    Who can help - what should I do?

    How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
    As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
    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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

    Hi
    Can You
    Go up to File Menu in iDVD - and here down to
    Save as a DiskImage
    If this works - You can burn Your DVD in another way via Disk Util tool

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    Modified Paths:

        flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/skins/spark/TextInputSkin.mxml

    This bug figures out also when creating a custom spark ComboBox, then trying to programatically update the userProposedSelectedIndex property. The proposed selected index is selected, but does not apply the same skin as when mouse is on rollover or item is selected due to up and down keys.
    The issue seems like updating the status of the item renderer to rollover or selected to get the same skin applied.
    Please could you attach DropDow nList.as that you edited ?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi Shauneenb,

    If you are having issues with multiple applications becoming unresponsive I would suggest the steps in the following article, including starting in safe mode.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail. Apple tech support was worthless.

    Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Noticed the problem a couple of days ago.
    Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail.
    Apple tech support was worthless on both issues.

    Hi I am also in the UK, but not with Tiscali and am having the exact same problems. I can also send with wifi, but not 3G. I have tried amending all sorts of settings, including those above and amending the smtp server to the settings for my provider, but all to no avail.
    It is thoroughly frustrating, as I cannot send emails unless I have wifi access.
    Any further suggestions would be very welcome.

  • Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

    I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
    called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
    prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
    I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
    getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
    using cffile.
    Does anyone know a work around for it?

    Hi,
    Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
    can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
    reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
    drivers...

  • We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

    Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

  • RFIDITVCL : problem with variation notes

    Hi Experts,
    I have implemented the sapnote 1639418 "RFIDITVCL: 3000 Euro Communication additional changes", but I have a problem with variation notes related to specific invoices in same year...the user guide in the note says that they are clubbed together and the total is compared with the limit...I think that the report doesn't function in this case (my case is higher 25000u20AC) and so my documents aren't in the list....
    Do you have the same problem??
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Angela

    Dear Angela,
    I have the same problem. The program looks at field BSEG-REBZG.
    However this field is empty in our case.
    We create our debit and credit memo's with reference to the original sales order.
    Who knows a solution?

  • I'm having constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. I can, however, work well in Explorer.

    For the last few weeks I have had constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. It does seem to be a browser issue, because I can work well in Explorer.

    Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.
