iDVD 5: Previous themes are missing

When you install Mac OS X 10.4 and the bundled Apple applications from the discs included with new Apple computers, some themes may not show up in iDVD 5. This issue can occur with the following products and bundled software that ships with some iMac and eMac computers:

• iDVD 5.x
• Mac OS X 10.4.1 Installer disc and bundled applications
• 17-inch iMac computers
• 20-inch iMac computers
• eMac computers

To find out if this issue affects you, open iDVD 5, click the Customize button, click the Themes tab, and then open the Themes pop-up menu.

You should see category choices for iDVD "5.0 Themes," "4.0 Themes," and "Old Themes." If the only menu item available is "5.0 Themes," you will need to install the older themes if you want to use them.

To install the missing themes, do the following:

1. Drag the iDVDThemes.pkg file located in /Library/Receipts to the Trash.
2. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 disc that was included with your computer.
3. From the Go menu, choose Go to Folder.
4. Type /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 2/Packages/ in the field and click Go.
5. Double-click the iDVD Themes.pkg installer.
6. Follow the steps to upgrade.

If you don't have one of the above computers that came with Mac OS X 10.4.1, but think you may have a related issue, then see "iDVD 4/5: Where are the older themes?" for more information.
