Will iDvd'08 work on ext. firwire HD as a boot volume?

Answer is YES! Just finished testing iDvd'08 on an ext HD as a boot volume (mac os extended with X.4.11) and all latest updates for iLife'08. And finally got iDvd'08 working well. However it is slower than internal HD .... but it still works via firewire.
Might be a good way to test all apple updates before modifying ones main internal HD/s.

Just in case anyone's interested.

same thing with DVDSP3 ....

Will idvd work w/ osx mavericks?

iDVD 7 works very well with iMovie 6 HD. You can get iDVD 7 from an iLife 09 disk (both include iDVD 7) and then updating it to the 7.1.2 from the Apple - Support - Downloads website.
You can get a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. When you go to install be sure to do a custom install and install only iDVD and it's resources.
iLife 09 includes all of the themes from previous iDVD versions, 1 thru 7. the iLIfe 11 disk does not. It only include themes from iDVD 5 thru 7.
Here's my full directions for obtaining iDVD 7:
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac 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.

Will iDVD work in Lion?

I would like to migrate a copy of iDVD from time machine to my new iMac 27". Will it work and how do I transfer just iDVD and not all the other applications as well?
Thanks.
Dinglehum

Yes, it works in Lion. However, you need to transfer both the application and themes which are located in your HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder. If copying the themes to that folder and the app to the Applications folder does not let iDVD find the themes you may have to reinstall iDVD from the disk it came on for your old Mac, if you have it.
Otherwise purchase a copy of the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11. That wahy you'll have it on disk along with the discontinued iWeb for future installs if necessary.

ICloud will not work. Error upon PC Boot Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint could not be located. How do I fix?

iCloud will not work on my PC. When I boot my PC I get an error saying, "The Procedure Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll". How do I fix this?

I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel, dc. Does that clear the message up?

Will Time Machine recognize a new RAID 1 boot volume?

I would like to convert the boot volume of my Mac Pro to a RAID 1 mirror (using a second internal hard disk) with Disk Utility. But will Time Machine recognize the RAID mirror as the boot volume it's been happily backing up and continue to back up incrementally? Or will Time Machine regard the RAID mirror as a new volume and therefore do a full backup, consuming quite a lot of disk space on the Time Machine disk? Does anyone here know?
In the past, I've discovered that even if I make a very high quality clone of my boot volume (using Super Duper), Time Machine will fail to recognize the clone and will insist on starting all over again with a full backup. I have not heard a reasonable explanation of why Time Machine does that, considering that the clone should be nearly identical to the original; it's not clear to me how Time Machine "recognizes" a volume. This makes me suspicious about how Time Machine will treat a new RAID 1 volume.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Will iPhoto and iDVD work on Yosemite from Snow Leopard

Having something from browsers (Firefox) trying to open a program I did not authorize (shut the computer down and saw the "open box" icon and asking if I want to abort or keep going, computer shut it down) or Gmail does not support my version of Safari anymore, worried about security if I use it. So thinking of updating the operating system. I have a Mac Mini and fall into the parameters to upgrade. Finding sketchy information on issues with iDVD or iPhoto when upgrading. Am I causing issues with those programs if up go to Yosemite? I know my Microsoft office won't work, but it is over 12 years old so I should probably upgrade it anyway. Also wondering if Garage Band will keep working. Thanks.

In my opinion I would recommend purchasing an external hard drive that is the same capacity as your computer's hard drive. Then clone you computer's drive to the external drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
If you need to restore your old system, then boot the computer from the clone, erase the internal drive, and restore the clone:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external backup drive. Destination means the internal startup drive. Note that the Source and Destination are reversed.
To boot from the clone:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the disk icon for the disk with the clone.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

Itunes, Iphoto, Imovie, Disc Utility, Idvd will not work

Please does anyone know what is wrong?
Its a PowerPc G5.
Cheers Mary

Our powerbooks can not run iMovie'08. Not enough horsepower.
That is why we are offered a free download of iMovie '06.

I am considering purchasing a new Mac desktop. I have, at present, a Liteon 851S ext CD/DVD write and a Maxtor 3200 USB ext hard drive. Will these work with a Mac desktop? My local Apple store could not answer my question.Happy New year to all.

Yes the Mac can read that drive but you would need to Copy the data off of it to the Mac as apposed to Move, which implies Deleting them from the drive as they were transferred from the external to the Mac. Since the Mac can Not Write to NTFS drives it can't Delete anything as that is really a Write operation, IE Making changes to the NTFS formatted drive.
Once you have that Data on Both your New Mac and you Older Windows PC you can format that drive to work on both system.
If you want to and plan on doing that post back and I'll explane how, it is simple but should be done on a Windows PC.
If you only plan on using it on the Mac from now on that is fairly simple also and is done on the Mac, Once you have the files from it stored on the Mac.
Yes you could burn those photos to DVD but that is just a waste of DVDs, you don't need to.

When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
what fixes have you tried?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.

HT1379 my video out on my 24" iMac mid 2007 will not work?

I recently attempted to connect my external video with no success. Is there a reason my ext video connection will not work with Mtn Lion? What can I do to get it to work? Thanks

Repeat of my above post first.
My 24" 2008 iMac has an audio in and an audio out port. If you have the same setup, have you tried using the audio in port? Mine has a speaker symbol for audio in.

Will iLife work on....

I need some help. I want to tranfer some of my home movies to my G4 then burn a DVD. I have read some great things about the new iLife. I was wondering if it can transfer my Sony HC-32 Mini DV home movie to my G4. I have tried with some other programs with my PC running XP but it did not work that well. Will iLife work better? Out of all I read can it tranfer to my G4. I t saids it is good for creating a movie with lots of effect. Can anyone help me out. Thanks.
Jon

Hi Jon,
welcome to this forum
... well, the actual version of iLife is No.6, as you can read here
http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
has high demands on your computer's specs, your Mac is probably a little "underpowered"...
I do use on my Cube/450 iLife5 (or HD as the apps are called) with great success... ok, creating DVDs is a "overnight" job (=hours and hours....). the Cube doesn't fullfill the specs of iLifeHD either, but I had no problems to install, and iDVD do work with my combo... consider, buying an "old" version of iLife, preferable 04.
so, I'm sure it will work, maybe a little... ponderous. don't be too ambitous with this combo, no "Titanic II" in the made...
===addendum===
your (sorry to say that>>) old G4 doesn't have the graphic-card to allow all the "magic" the new 10.4. offers/no support of core-video... so, probably no realtime effects etc...-

HT4914 My music is stored on an external hard drive. All music that I buy, whether from itunes or some other provider, automatically gets loaded onto my external drive. There is some music on my computer drive as well. Will match work in this circumstance

My music is stored on an external hard drive. All music that I buy, whether from itunes or some other provider, automatically gets loaded onto my external drive. There is some music on my computer drive as well. Will match work in this circumstance?

I followed all the instructions for consolidating my music into one folder on my external hard drive. (I'm struggling with this because my ext HD was renamed when I synched my iPod shuffle last night. The "E:" drive has now become the "F:" drive and all my songs have those dreaded exclamation points next to them. Exploring my computer, I found "My music" folders in two place on my C: drive and one place on my external hard drive... and the song list in each place is different.
Argh.
So... following the directions in the article reference here, I attempted to consolidate all of my songs into one folder on my external hard drive.
But.. I checked the song list when the "consolidation" was complete... and MANY songs are missing. They're still on the C: drive, but don't appear to have been copied to the new folder on the ext HD.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks so much!
Edit: I tried to reassign the ext. HD a permanent letter, but my Control panel does not appear to offer the option of Administrative tools. Is there an easy way to get to this, as this seems to be the root of the problem?
Thanks.

Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?

Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?
Thanks, Ed

A qualified "yes". Meaning it should work as stated but in practice there are some issues. There are fewer issues with FCE => iDvd6 than there currently are with iLife'08. I don't have a good explanation for this.
Btw, this is strictly an observation on my part from reading this forum. Keep in mind I do not own / work with FCE but rather with FCP => DVDSP as well as with apple's i-Apps.
