Burning photos - only to read, hoe to do it ?

Hi everyone !
I would like to burn some photos on a CD but I don't want the other person to copy them.
I seen some PDF files in internet that you can download but to save or edit them you need to enter a password. Can I do the same with my photos ?
thanks

Do you want others to view them but not print them? If so then use an application like Watermark to put a watermark across the center of the image. It can be subtle enough to still view the photos but not be able to be removed for printing. Or put a low resolution version of them, like 640 x 480 @ 72dpi that is good only for viewing on a monitor.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

External DVD Burner detected only as reader

Hello,
I have a problem with an IBM external (USB) dvd burner. I manage to use it as a reader correctly, but I can't see him as an available burner in brasero or K3B. I managed to use it previously with a Ubuntu dist, so it should be supported, but I believe there must be a problem of access rights, of HAL or so on.
Could somebody give me some hints on what to do?

I finally found the root cause... I wasn't part of the optical group. Once added to the group, I could burn correctly

I have OS X Lion. I tried to burn photos to a cd. When it is at the finishing stage it ejects the disc and gives a a message saying the operation couldn't be completed and the drive preform importly. It gives no error code only a box to click ok. Help.

I have OS X Lion. I tried to burn photos to a cd. When it is in the finishing phase it says that the drive preformed an error and it cannot retry or correct.(no error code is given that I can see) I tried to slow the burn speed and do not know what else to do. Help please.

HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc. I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive. However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive. How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

What kind of DVD disk do you want to create? A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set. They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
For a data disk:
1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu. Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
For a video DVD disk:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

How do I save/burn photos with their intended orientation

When I upload photos they display with the proper orientation ie: landscape or portrait. When I burn photos or load them to a web site they all transfer in landscape format. I am using a canon program to upload and it is supposed to auto orient the images. Is the Mac by passing this? Is there a simple setting I need to change?
I am new to Mac and I find this very frustrating as my customers will not be happy having to look at hundreds of photographs sideways. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You may have to use an image editor software for either singular or batch correction of the rotation, where you would 'save' or 'save as' to assure a corrected file reflecting this rotational change is permanently retained.
Some time ago, I refused to further use camera maker image editing software; perhaps as long ago as Jag 10.2. There were other options in OS 9.2.2 & Before, which worked wonderfully and still do.
For OS X minor edits, I've used a third-party freeware and the author has made several revisions available, I've found it helpful, yet have barely used only a small fraction of the tools I see built in.
•ToyViewer for OS X: (freeware)
http://homepage.mac.com/t_ogihara/software/OSX/toyv-eng.html
There are other image editors, to include the OS X's own Preview app; perhaps it may be adequate. In some older Preview versions, the rotation tool failed to function, so that enforced my idea of using ToyViewer. Retail image editors and upscale software offer more detailed control over images, or similar controls, at a price.
With the idea of minimalistic and realistic photography, I've never had a desire to photoshop anything... One could take a terrible 'image capture' and after hours at a workstation, create a masterpiece of fiction. My background is in film photography and natural outdoor environments.
The ability to do batch corrections, to say, rotate all images -90° dropped into a folder, could be done in several ways; some may include creating a script, or finding one another user has made, & apply it.
While I have a Lumix/Panasonic camera and a Nikon DSLR, I've not used either of the makers offered software to edit or manipulate images I've captured with these cameras; and prefer to attempt to most accurately or satisfactorily get the correct image at the 'time of exposure' which means I only rotate the incorrectly saved horizontals to a vertical format, with software after downloading. And no other edits.
With a long film-related photography background, nice vintage equipment and a small collection, I have doubts about digital in several capacities; however convenient and hazard-free digital imagery is in the home or office environment. The fun and alchemy is missing, and so can the honesty in the resulting product.
Good luck and happy computing!

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R. Any clues? Nothing shows up in Finder as far as a Device, and I have a message telling me to "Insert a blank disc to begin" and that I will need a disc with at least "47.6 MB"--it's only 18 photos, and I need to burn them for a parent of a student (I'm a teacher). I have tried several different discs, so it's not the actual CD or DVD.

Create a new folder. Place the photos in that.
From the Finder File menu choose New Burn Folder. That will appear on your desktop. Place the folder of photos you created into that.
Now open Disk Utility and you will see that Burn Folder listed. Choose Burn from the menu.

Since loading Lion I can no longer burn photos form iPhoto on a dvd for archive purposes

Since loading Lion on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer burn photos form iphoto for archarving purposes. I used to load the dvd and it would showup on the screen then drag highlighted photos onto the dvd. Now, dvd only shows up sometimes and when it does, it tells me the new disk is full. How can such an easy task become obsolete with this update. I have also tried using idvd for archiving purposes but this process will only allow viewing. I want to be able to reload photos back onto the computer at a later date.

I habe the same problem and cant find a helpful post on the web!
How can i get it back to work???

I burned photos to a cd and it included all the faces and low res duplicates

I burned photos to a cd from iphoto and it included the ind. faces and low res. images that iphoto created - I only want the originals.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

How are you burning the photos to the disc? Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto. The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
What system and iPhoto version are you using? How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro?
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?

Go into your camera roll and create an album and then select the pictures you want in the album. Note you will have the same pics in your album and camera roll.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

Can you play DVD movies on the drive? I ask because it is not uncommon for one feature on multifunction drives (like a CD-DVD drive) to stop functioning. There are actually multiple lasers in there for the separate functions. In other words the CD part can work fine but the DVD part go bad.
Is this an external DVD burner or the one built into the laptop?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

I'm looking for an answer to this, too, since I have thousands of Events, and so scrolling down to the bottom every time I want to show my newest photos makes it almost unusable.
