How can i get all the 150 themes for idvd?

The package cannot be downloaded from the Mac App Store. However, you can use this direct link from Apple:

http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/06/031-11609/gethaqto8acx9pvblr4pnhi tssanvhtpiz/iDVDExtraContent.pkg

By default, the latest version of iDVD (version 7) does not include the themes that where part of iDVD version 5 and older. However, you can still use them with iDVD 7.

Use the following instructions to learn how to download them..

1) Open iDVD and select CREATE A NEW PROJECT...

2) Go to the themes pull-down menu and select ALL...

3) Scroll down untill you see some themes that look FADED and have NO LITTLE TRIANGE next to them. Click on one of them.

4) A Dialogue window should show up. Select DOWNLOAD NOW.

5) SOFTWARE UPDATE should show up looking for new software for your computer. Once that's done, a NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE will be avaliable for your computer. Click on the INSTALL button.

Wait for the iDVD EXTRA CONTENT to finish downloading and installing itself, and that's it. You now have extra iDVD themes.

Just make sure to CLOSE and RE-OPEN iDVD after the install for the new themes to become active.

This is not working under 10.8.1 and running iDVD 7.1.2

Any ideas as it worked normally under 10.8

Worked as advertiesed for me

OS 10.6.8 and iDVD 7.1.2

Themes from iDVD 5, 6 and & 7 are included in the iDVD 7.0.1 updater. If it won't run by itself you can use Pacifist to install the themes you need.

For themes from iDVD 1 thru 5 you'd need to purchase the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Then install the iDVD Extra Content option:

This is what the contents of the iLife 11 installer look like in Pacifist:

I guess I'm a little dense. I have the iLife '09 disc open in Pacifist and I can see the iDVD 1 and iDVD 2 themes that are not installed. How do I use Pacifist to install them? The contents of those two folders are not in the same format as the single files in the folders for iDVD 3-6 already present under /Users/Jimbo/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ .

P.S. Well, duh! That right mouse button gives me an option to install to the default location, and that works perfectly.

Just select the Contents of iDVDExtraContents.pkg icon and have Pacifise install the entire package of all the themes.

Thanks. I figured out how to use Pacifist as you describe. Once I had installed the extra themes that way, I did finally see the Extra Themes download in the Software Update section at the top of the updates in the App Store app. It's nice to have the plainer themes when one is not burning cute baby, wedding, holiday, or similar videos.

If you can get iLife '09, here's what needs to be done to get all the iDVD themes from iDVD 1 throught to the recent iDVD 7 themes installed ... using Pacifist:

Make sure the iDVD 1 through iDVD 7 themes are installed in the "Themes" folder

in the iDVD "Application Support" folder (not in the iDVD folder itself, but in the

"Themes" folder inside the iDVD folder).

Here is the magic :

I would not download and install any software with Torrents. There's no telling what malware that could be included with the files. Torrents is a know source of viruses for PCs and adware/malware for Macs. If you go that route you do so at your own risk.

As I said before the only sure way to get all themes is from an iLife 09 disk.
