I have iDVD 6 and 7 theme files, but can't get iDVD to recognize them
I put the files in MyUsername/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/
And also tried HDD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/
But still getting this box popping up:
If I browse to the folders, the same box just pops up again
Anyone know what's going on and how I can get this working?
Thanks! 🙂
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Go to iDVD's Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the location of the Themes folder:
You might have to run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions afterward.
Hi, and thanks for the reply
I can't even get to Preferences (it's greyed out) 😟
Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try accessing the preferences 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 or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
Or, if you have the disks that a came with your Mac that has iDVD on it or a purchased iLife 09 or 11 disk? If so use it to install iDVD and the themes so that it will link the themes with the application.
