Where do I find idvd on lion?

I'm really confused about idvd on Lion. There's no icon for it. Also I can't get imovie to share to idvd so I can burn a dvd of my project. So far I am unimpressed with Lion. It's confusing and imovie does nothing but crash and error. What is a heap zone? and what is a parameter moething or other that prevents my movie to finish sharing so I can get to idvd to burn a dvd??? Please speak English as I am not versed in geek-speak. I havea new Macbook Pro 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 memory. My computer is only a month or two old. I've taken off any programs I'd installed hoping that would help but it made no difference. Thanks for any help.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

Where can I find my mountain lion installer included with 2012 mac mini

I just bought a 2012 mac mini and I want to install mountain lion on an SSD that I bought separately. Where can I find the mountain lion installer file to create a bootable USB install drive? When I go to the mac app store, mountain lion is not listed in my purchases and when I try to buy it, it says "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." It's already installed on the mac mini, I just need the installer file so I can install it on my SSD.

You might be able to simply boot into the ML Recovery HD, select Reinstall OS X and point to your SSD drive. You won't capture the InstallESD.dmg file to create a USB thumb drive installer.
OR.... to create a USB thumb drive of your pre installed ML, you would need to redownload Mountain Lion then grab the InstallESD.dmg file and create your USB thumb drive.Here is how I've done it using Internet Recovery to get my pre installed OS X.
Attach a USB external drive to your system. Formated as Mac OS Extended (Journal) and GUID partition table.
Restart using Command+R+Option to boot into Apple's Recovery HD. This will get you the original version. Or just Command+R to boot into your ML Recovery HD.
Select Reinstall OS X from the OS X Utilities menu.
You will have to watch the download. After it completes and your system restarts, at the black screen disconnect the external USB drive.
After you are back to your current desktop, insert the external USB drive. There should be a single folder on the drive called 'Install Data' (I think). Find the InstallESD.dmg file and copy it to a folder on your current system (Downloads, for example).
Follow any of the internet instructions to create a ML USB thumb drive.
I tried this method, and while it did get me the installer image, when I restored it to an external and tried to use it to restore a Late 2012 Mac Mini, I got the same "No" symbol I did with other ML installers.
Here are some screenshots of what was loaded onto my external before I yanked it, when the screen turned black durring the restart. The highlighted file is what I restored to my external to use to restore the Mac Mini.

Where can i find iDVD

Where can i find iDVD ? for Mac OS X 10.7.5

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Where can find iDVD on lion

Just wondering where Idvd in lion. I have just bought a new imac with lion installed on it. It has iphoto, imovie and garageband but no idvd.

Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Where do I find iDVD according to my manual(the missing manual) if I have imovie 11 then I should have iDVD.my Mac is OS X 10.8.4 can anyone help?

Need help with burning a dve from an imovie I have completed. I cannot find iDVD which i understand I should have with my original package.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks

iDVD has been discontinued by Apple and new machines don't include it or even a DVD drive for burning.
If you've purchased the iLife suite on DVD then you can re-install iDVD from it. It is not a part of any OS X.

Where do I find my mt. lion install

I just purchased an upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mt. Lion and when I received the download, decided not to install it for a while. It was in my dock. Now it has disappeared and I can't find it. Where did it go?

The installer resides in the Applications folder until it is activated. You should find it in there. Make a copy of it some place safe like your Documents folder since the last step in the installation is for the installer to delete itself.

Where can I find iDVD please

I am in need of iDVD toi create a DVD from FCPx, please can you show me where I can download it from the official Apple site

BTW, my 06 and higher isn't quite accurate. You may come across iLife 11 that does not include iDVD. Also, you may find it odd that iLife 06 is pricier than later versions. That 06 edition included the much-loved iMovie 06 HD, whereas the later editions included a totally re-designed iMovie.
And yes, Karsten's tips document is a great resource.

Where do I find idvd

I am using imovie and have now completed my first project. I watched the tutorial to set up a dvd and it said to go to share, and use iDVD. The option wasn't showing but it was when i right clicked on the project so followed that route. However I got a message saying Where is iDVD and nothing happened. Nothing is showing in the app list but I thought this was part of i movie. I then upgraded my imovies from the app store, restarted and iDVD is not showing. Looked for a programme in the app store, nothing there. Where is idvd?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

Where can I find iDVD to install?

I just want to be sure that iDVD is in iLife '11.... or in another version? I need to burn home movies of the kids!

Hi
Version no: and title no: differs and are far from logic.
iDVD 08 (7.0.1) (2008)
iDVD 09 (7.0.4) (2009)
iDVD 11 (7.1.0) (2010-10-21) (7.1.2 2011-07-14)
But if You got iDVD 08 (7.0.1) then You only need to do a program up-date and
You'll get 7.1.2 (latest and last one)

Where can I find additional iDVD button art

I've got iLIFE 11 installed on my MacBook (Lion), but I don't have any previous versions of iLife. There are very few button options to choose to customize my menus. Where can I find, and how do I import, additional buttons into iLife 11?

Wow! Really, you just can't? How about all the button art from the previous versions? Can those be found somewhere and imported. The iDVD button art from the latest version (came on the iLife 11 disc) is really sparse! Can you "make" your own button art? Thanks for your help.

I don't have iDVD on my Mac. Where do I find apps to render my movies into DVD?

I don't have iDVD on my new Mac. Where do I find an app that will render my videos, so they can be burned as a DVD movie.?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means:

Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere, even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
Regards.
