Files in Finder

In an attempt to get rid of the words "pass through chapters," in the pass through theme, I renamed a file in the iDVD part of finder. More specifically, I renamed the file in Macintosh HD - Library - Application Support - iDVD - Themes - iDVD 6 - Pass Through Chapters (right click this, hit show package contents) - Contents - Resources - TextObject1.pox - Contents - Material - File. This actually worked but now it's sort of screwing up my project and I don't know how to get the file back to normal. Any ideas?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

That title can be edited as I pointed out in your other post. You did make a backup copy of the iDVD application before you tried hacking it, didn't you? Get rid of the hacked application and go back to the orignal app. Then edit that menu title to what you want.

Then either rename the file in the iDVD application back to what it was originally or reinstall iDVD from the source it came from. If it came preinstalled on your Mac the disks that came with your Mac will have a installed software restore disk like one of these:

If you don't have backups of your hard drive, either with Time Machine or other backup application, you should strongly consider starting a backup strategy. There are only two types of computers: those that have crashed and burned and those that will.
