iDVD ‘08 won’t start

Started by dancameron · 10 months ago

Turns out that the older iDVD themes aren’t compatible with the new iDVD and since I had every version of iDVD it was causing iDVD to just show a splash screen an then shutdown.

  • This worked for me Thanks.... i almost gave up
  • Thanks! Worked Great!!
  • Awesome.
  • Thanks! As good as new!
  • Thanks a million. I was pulling my hair out! Works great.
  • I've tried reinstalling Ilife'06 to get my iDVD or iMovie to work...but, alas-When I try to use the fix you've described, there is no submenu below library/application support/iDVD...

    Any ideas? anyone? Thanks. Eric
  • I tried deleting all old themes; however i am still having trouble. The idvd icon when pressed will bounce as if it is opening yet nothing happens. I tried reinstalling ilife 08 after I deleted the themes and still no progress. Right now i have no themes and an idvd that still does not work. If there are anymore tricks i can try to get this working i'd appreciate any feed back.
  • Um, I got a new mac, and like you said, iDVD always quits! so I went to delete those folders and, I only HAVE themes 5 and sox. On the apple website it told me to download iDVD 7.0.1, and i did. Now it doesnt "quit" right away, but it doesnt do anything else either. no window comes up or anything, so I have to force quit. what is going on?
  • I have MacBook with Tiger and same troubles as Connor. Could someone help us.
  • Thanks for all the suggestions- In the end, I had to COMPLETELY REMOVE the iMovie app and then reinstall it...simple. The key was in removing the app from the HD. Beware, other iLife components did stumble a bit after the fix. "REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS" seemed to fix it up.
  • iDVD 08 won't show anything on the video screen. There's just a black screen there.
