Hi, ive made a project using idvd, and it wont burn properly

and when i go to burn it to a dvd, it plays properly with music and everything , it goes throught he motions of burning it, then chucks it out a minute before it finishes, and the disk is empty, there are no warning signs anywhere, so just wondered if someone could help a first time idvd user;-)) thanks

That use to be either
• Cheap DVDs e.g. Memorex, NoName etc. - I only use Verbatim DVD-R
• Dusty DVD laser lens - I use a Cleaning DVD from time to time
Else
• Trash iDVD pref file
• Run Repair Permissions
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video -
neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version !
This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem ! ! Finally ! !
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

Everything simulates perfectly but when I go to burn build & formate whatever. It just wont work. I have reset my preferences to default settings that doesn't work. I have got rid of all dvd MGEG & PAR folders and just started over from scratch. NOTHING IS WORKING. I have burned DVDs many times using the same video assets before and no problems but all of a sudden I must of got to disorganized with my files and DVD studio pro is going haywire. Does anyone have any clue on what I can do to fix this horrible problem?

IDVD project info doesnt show content and wont burn properly

I am using iDVD 6 on a macbook. have successfully burned DVD's using iDVD in the past and now here is the deal I cant resolve. My imovie is first in DVD map and it is looped. It plays fine when played from this and other locations. I go to project info and it is .8GB for a 26 minute video on the DVD capacity.(which doesnt seem right.) When I burn it, it goes thru the paces and kicks out the DVD and it says current operation-done. In previous projects it has asked me if I would like to burn another copy. I press cancel and it says "cleaning up" and I end up force quitting iDVD. What am I doing wrong this time. i aprreciate any help, im racking my brain for hours. Thanks.

IMovie '08 Wont Open Properly

Hi Ever Since I Installed Leopard My Version Of iMovie '08 Wont Open Properly In The Dock Is Says It Is Open And On The Bar At The Top It Says iMovie '08 But No Window Opens And I Cant Make A New Project Or Anything. I Have Also Reinstalled It As Well And Still the Same Problem.
Does Any One Have Any Ideas?
Thanks

Actually after some digging around in the Apple Message Boards I found the problem. I went to system preferences, selected, displays, then chose "color" and pick any new profile. I chose the "srgb...." profile, then exited system prefs. When I opened iMovie... tada! it worked. Strange fix, but OK.

HT201210 I disconnected my iPhone in the middle of an iTunes update. Now it wont run properly what do I do?

I disconnected my iPhone in the middle of an iTunes update. Now it wont run properly what do I do? I was working online and I recieved a pop up from iTunes stating that there was an harwared update for my iPhone. I had it plugged up for a while , long enoung for me to watch a tv show have dinner and come back. I thought the update was complete and came back to the computer and unplugged it. The next morning I saw a picture of aUSB cord and the iTunes icon. I have no use of my phone and cannot get access to emails, internet contacts..nothing . Help !

Well it should NEVER be unplugged when doing something.
It actually had not installed the software at that stage, it had been copied over to the iPhone, it was being checked and then it would be installed.
You need to connect your iPhone to the computer at home and hope that you can install the software again and then restore your backup.
If you install iTunes at work you may be able to Restore the software but you will most likely lose the content on your iPhone as you do not have a backup to restore on that computer, or all your media / apps.

Itunes wont load properly

Hi,
My Itunes 11.0.04 wont load properly on my Macbook running 10.7.2. Once i click on the itunes icon it flashes up and dissapears, the music still plays but i cant actually see the itunes interface at all.
Having trouble finding anything about this.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hello TThorn450,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your MacBook. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:

You can also try starting iTunes in safe mode:

Itunes wont install properly? please help!!

hello,
iTunes is being very difficult atm! reinstalled the iTunes software and the error message comes 'iTunes wont install properly...'.
I have run a diagnostics test and hoping someone can point in the direction of how to fix it! cannot even connect my iphone device to it.
please help!
thanks

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My matshita uj846 super drive wont burn dvd. get error

my super drive wont burn dvd . and i get an error : sense key medium error sense code =0x73,0x03 for cd it work fine and read dvd ok just wont burn dvd of any kind tryed differrent makes but no result .. help pls

Hi and welcome to the discussions!
Google is your friend...
I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

Dvd wont burn movie all the way

The dvd is 4.7 GB and the movie is 4.1 the dvd wont burn the whole movie it stops a little before the movie is over. HOw do we burn a long movie onto dvd?

What is the total playing time of your movie? iDVD 5 has a 120 minute limit, including menus, in the Best Quality setting or a 60 minute limit in the Best Performance setting. The size of the files is not the determining factor, just the playing time.

How can I get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly?

I can not get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly. The disk pops out before it's finished, usually at the end of the multiplexing stage. iDVD seems to think the disk is still burning for about 20 more minutes although the box says "done". I tried it with an external DVD burner with the same result. I'm running the latest iDVD version available on a MacBook Pro running Lion. Any ideas out there?

Hi
Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
• for SD-Video and SL-DVD - I never go under 25Gb
• for DL-DVD I would guess that 50Gb free is safe
• if HD-material is used (needs space to be downscaled to SD-Vide0 as this is DVD standard) - 4-5 times more

Downloaded music from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod Mini

Just bought an Imac and downloaded music from Itunes musicstore. The music i have downloaded from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod mini. After 52 sec the song stops and the next song continues... If i go past the 52 sec it plays all right... I have tried to reset the ipod mini, and restore it. Nothing works...
The songs i have downloaded with my PC does not have any problems at all...
Hope you can help.

iTunes does not transfer tracks back from an iPod to iTunes. The synchronization function is from iTunes to the iPod only. But you can get tracks back from your iPod if they haven't been erased (which will happen if you synch your iPod to a blank iTunes). The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
If your tracks are already gone from your iPod, though, then you're probably out of luck and will need to re-import your CDs and repurchase your tracks from the iTunes Music Store if you don't have them backed up elsewhere (which is strongly recommend).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Itunes wont insall properly, please help!!

Can anyone help. i need this to use my ipod but it wont insall properly. Please help.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

HT1645 I have changed the encoder preference to all the different settings but it still wont burn my cd! What should I try next?!

What should I try next? I have a movie in iDVD all set up to go and it keeps telling me that there is an encoding error, so I have changed it to all three settings but it still wont burn and shows me the same error.

Hi
• Delete iDVD pref. file
iDVDpref. file resides.----> Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iDVD.plist
com.apple.iDVDApp.plist (may be ? - not sure this exist)
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
But there are better ways to do this - but as I'm only in Mac OS X.6.? - I have no hand on know how - but the above way works if carefully done.
