No Themes in iDVD

Rrepair disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also put a copy of the iDVD folder in your Home/Library/Application Support folder and try pointing to it in iDVD.

OT

The various iDVD theme folders should be in a Themes folder inside an iDVD folder like shown here:

folders iDVD6 & 7 still with their theme files, but the folders iDVD1 to 5 miss the theme files and these folders are empties.

By empty do you mean in iDVD or that the actual folders are empty? If you're referring to being empty in iPhoto try the following:

1 - run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions

2 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your

User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.

3 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your

User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.

4 - launch IDVD, go to the Advanced preference pain, relink to the Themes folder and try again.

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

The files disappear from the folder when viewed in iDVD or the Finder? I'm guessing you mean from within iDVD.

You can try putting a copy of the iDVD folder in the HD/Library/Applications Support folder and pointing iDVD to the Themes folder in that location. Also repair disk permissions after adding the folder to that location.

And try what I suggested in my last post.

Did you try putting the folders in the HD Library as I suggested? Have you rebooted since this began? If not do so.

Are you insatalling iDVD from an iLife 11 disk? Be sure to use the Customize install so you don't overwrite existing apps with some of the older ones.
