I open iDVD, but when I try to start a new project it looks for the themes. I have it go to the Installed Themes in Library, but when it asks to open them, there's nothing in the folders (named Disk 1 through Disk 6). I have repeated the process 3 times to no avail, after which I repaird the disk permissions.

Does anyone have any ideas why it isn't seeing the themes? Thanks, George. I can't even get to the screen you referenced in your reply. Now, when I try to open iDVD I get a message that asks me to go online to get updated themes. Try this basic troubleshooting fix: 1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.

I am experiencing it myself. Just bought a MBP with Mavericks and I tried to copy iDVD from my iMac. I copied the application into the applications folder, I selected View Options in my Home Folder and activated my Library. I went to Library and deleted the IDVD CACHE folder and the IDVD Preferences folder. I then went to Library and in APPLLICATION SUPPORT and created a folder called IDVD. In that folder I placed the folder from the iMac called Installed Themes that I got from the iMac's Applications Support>IDVD folder. I then checked all the contents of the folders and I can see all the themes listed in folders called IDVD 1, IDVD 2, IDVD 3, IDVD 4, IDVD 5 and IDVD 6.

I then open IDVD and get the following screen I go through and point to the Home>Library>Application Support>IDVD>Installed Themes folder. The popup comes back and it will NOT point to the folder. Then, I go back into the folders and check their contents and they are empty.
