This is how I installed the older themes in 10.4.1ġ) Insert the Powerbook OS X Install Disc into the DVD driveĢ) Open Finder, and from the Finder "Go" menu click "Go to folder."ģ) Type (or copy/paste) the following path (without the quotes) into the "Go to the folder:" box: "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/.packages"ĥ) Scroll down until you find the file titled "iDVDThemes.pkg" (or just "iDVDThemes" if you have not configured Finder to show filename extensions). If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, which none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads include. Note: I do not receive any compensation for recommending any products.When I upgraded to 10.4.1 the older themes in IDVD went missing and I had to reinstall them.I didnt like 10.4.1 so I went back to 10.3.9 and now my older themes are missing again, I tried to reinstall the same way I did previously and now its saying "IDVD themes can not be installed on this computer"ĭO I have to go back to 10.4.1 to be able to enjoy the older themes? Or am I reinstalling the previous themes wrong? It should make sense that Im able to use the older themes in 10.3.9 because thats how my powerbook came. It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7.

(You can download, install & scan your drive for free but you have to purchase the application to recover deleted files.) If so, you can purchase DataRescue3 and restore the existing template files. Install them in the exact location I gave you earlier.Īn alternative, if you think you may have recently accidentally deleted the templates, you might try scanning your hard drive with DataRescue3 to see if it can find the templates folder & files. If you can't do that, you might try using Pacifist to extract the template files from the 2nd (applications) DVD disk. Apple had discontinued iDVD by that time.Īssuming you have the early model, try running the 2nd install DVD to see if you can select iDVD and reinstall it. The late 2011 2.2GHz MBP 8'2's came with Lion 10.7.2 preinstalled and there would have been no DVD install disks and no iDVD. The second install disk has the applications on it and probably includes iDVD. The early 2011 2.2GHz MBP 8,2's came with OS X 10.6.6 preinstalled and would have come with 2 DVD install disks.

If my earlier guess is correct there should be at least an "iDVD 7" folder with 10 themes in it.


There are separate folders for the themes that came with each different version of iDVD. Use the Finder to look there to see if the theme folder(s) and themes are there.

iDVD Themes are located in Mac HD > Library > Application Support > iDVD > Themes.I can verify that iDVD also runs on Lion (10.7.x) but I cannot verify that it will run on Mt. iDVD 7.1.2 was the final release of iDVD and what was needed to run on Snow Leopard.Lion since the last time you remember running iDVD? The more info you can provide, the better people here will be able to help you. In the process iDVD may have gone broken or you may have an incompatibility between iDVD and Mt. Sometime later you or someone else upgraded the MBP to Mt. Look in Apple > About this Mac > System Report (or More Info, depending on your version of OS X) > Hardware > Model Identifier.īased on what little you have told us, I am guessing your MBP originally came with Snow Leopard installed and then someone (a previous owner?) installed iDVD from a boxed iLife package. It would help to have the exact MBP model.
