Why Can't I get Idvd window up to drag movie from iMovie. OS 10.8.5  idvd is from iLife '11

Have just bought update iLife 11 and installed idvd.  When I open it, it just spins 'load themes'. I dont want to use the themes - I just want the Idvd window to come up so I can drag the movie into it, loop it and burn the dvd.
Thannks for your help - I don't know much about this stuff!

Themes must be installed and used for iDVD to work. It's the nature of the beast.
Did you do a custom install?  Check in your HD/Library/Application Support folder to see if there's an iDVD folder.  If it's not there check in your Home/LIbrary/Applications Support folder.  This folder is invislbe since Lion so you'll need to do the following:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
I suggest you move the application to the Trash bin in the Dock and reinstall iDVD from the iLife 11 disk under the Customize option or use the demo version of Pacifist and do a customize install of iDVD which will include the themes.

  • Why can I not get my windows to fit the screen

    I am not sure what happened today, but in Safari the window does not fit the screen on my Mac Book Pro, even when you click the green + button. What should I do to rectify. I have done a full Shutdown, and still the same.

    One other thing that might be handy:
    You can set the default Safari window size as follows.  Open a new window (command-n). Resize.  Close window.  Subsequent windows should open at that same size.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

  • HT4623 Why can't I get my iPhone 5 to plays movies from it to a tv

    Help

    "help" is not a very helpful question.  To be helpful, I need to know if you have other devices such as an apple 30-pin to video cable, or an appleTV.   Any more information available?

  • Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?

    Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?

    What I used to copy my contacts from my 1st gen iPod touch to my new 5th gen iPod touch was a piece of software called Syncios.  Just download and install Syncios (www.syncios.com), which is totally 100% FREE.  When you connect your iPad to your computer via the included cable it'll give you a Warning about you can't have iTunes running.  On the Syncios website it'll give you all of the info on how to back up your contacts.  When you connect your 5th gen iPod touch to your computer just click on the Recover button then the file name of the contact back up.  Hope this helps you and it helped me a lot.  I backed up both my contacts and notes using the same software.

  • Why can't I get photo stream or icloud to work with windows vista?

    Why can't I get photo stream or icloud to work with windows vista?

    Have you tried quitting Pages completely, restart the iPad and then go back to Pages and see if they will upload?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    I installed Lion so why can't I get any sound from Quicktime?

    It's been a problem for some time now.  You can drag a photo from the open iPhoto window into the Contact photo bin, i.e. window to window.

  • Why can't I get Google Maps to work?

    Why can't I get Google Maps to work?

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
    Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
    If asking about third-party software, specify the version.

  • Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

    Some find the mobile device transfer confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain active ?

    Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain "active" ?
    I'm using iTunes 11.4 on a Mac Pro with OS 10.9.5
    In good old iTunes 10.7  there was a slider on the right side that you can move up and down to locate songs.   That same slider is there, (but much smaller), with iTunes 11.4, but it seems to deactivate itself for reasons I do not understand.
    I have found that when I go to the lower right corner and resize the iTunes window the slider will appear briefly.   If I don't act very fast, that slider vanishes and I cannot scroll up and down.
    Thanks !!

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why can't I get my iWeb '09 widgets to publish?

    Why can't I get my iWeb '09 widgets to publish? None of them appear on my published site, just when it's unpublished.
    I'm using an FTP server, and my domain name is parked on GoDaddy.com.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? While viewing the site in Safari type CommandOptionA to bring up the Activity window for the site. It will list all of the files for the site and those that are missing will be marked "not found".
    If there are any missing then your ftp client is not uploading all of the files. Are you using iWeb's built in ftp client? If so try publishing to a folder on the hard drive where you can first test the site with your browser before uploading to the server. Then use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload your files.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

    I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

    You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
    If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:
