I would like to thank both Winston and Gordon for replying to my above 
queries.   The first part remains unresolved, however Gordon's 
suggestion has fixed the iDVD 3 update.  I found there was a space 
between the second "D" in iDVD and ".app".   Once I removed this the 
update proceeded without a hitch.   How the space got there is anyone's 
guess , but it does demonstrate how exacting you must be in OSX with 
placement of folders and files and the wording of titles .

Thanks guys,
