Can someone please help me....new user

ok, this makes no sense to me, but I will try to explain it better than in my post yesterday.
I put a cd (which is a CD-R) into my iMac that had photos burnt onto it from a PC about 6 months ago....I know for a fact these photos were on the CD because I had brought them back onto the PC to use for business purposes.
Yesterday I went to pull these photos onto my iMAC so I could do some work with them....and they are gone...ALL gone....
I clicked on the CD image on my desktop (which also now reads iPhoto Library-) time and time again, and the only thing that I could find on it was a folder from iphoto (I did not burn any pictures from iphoto onto this CD, at least not that I had realized, I had not put this CD into my iMAC's drive before). There were 2 different icons when I clicked on the CD image on the desktop, one said iphoto library (which when I click on breaks down through to ONE picture), and the other looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded down...the piece of paper is checkboarded and has a large @ sign on it. Underneath it reads IPHOTO.XML and when I click on it, it opens up Big Bang Board Games 4-in-a-row game......
Can someone explain what has happened??
It also did this to another CD, exact same thing, only a different picture.
I took both Cds back to a PC to see if they just couldn't be read on the iMAC, but I only find the same thing...one picture and another file that can't be opened on the PC....
What is going on??? I am terrified to put any of my other photo cds into my iMAC for fear I will lose the photos permanantly!!! I don't have any other copies of the photos that were on the CDs that are gone now!!!!
I have pulled pictures from other Cds before with no problem!?!?!?
Thanks....

no, I didn't ask to burn a picture....this is why I am confused to how the picture got on there.
I understand what you are saying regarding the multi-session thing (how do I avoid this if my other cds with photos on them have this, and I don't know they do?)
but what I do know is that cd had photos on it (it definately wasn't full, and maybe that is why I haven't had a problem with others...they have all been full) and no one else uses my Mac, so I know no one else put the picture on that cd. I may have inadvertantly burned the picture, but if I did, I don't know what I did to make it burn the picture onto the cd.....
The only thing that happened was I opened iphoto so I could save some of the pictures that were already on the disc, but when I went to look for the pictures on the cd, the only thing that was on it, was an iphoto picture....which I didn't ask to be put there.....
I have previously burned pictures onto CD using my Mac with no problem, and I've pulled pictures off CD that were burned using a PC. So I guess I need to know how to determine if the cds have this multi-session thing going on?

  • Can someone please help a new owner of a Pixma Pro-100 with a color cast problem?

    Despite setting it up correctly with the drivers supplied on the CD for my Windows 7 64-bit laptop, I'm getting a slight pink color cast on both Canon's Fine Art Museum Etching and Glossy Plus II papers. It is neither a monitor calibration nor a software processing (white balance) issue, since I printed exactly the same file on my old Pixma IP4840 without any problem whatsoever. Unfortunately the IP4840 cannot handle the heavier grade media, nor print exhibition grade quality.
    I have tried adjusting the C, M, Y values according to the print pattern as recommended, without any significant improvement. I have used both the Pro and ICC profiles with similar lack of success.
    In desperation I downloaded the 32-bit driver to try on my Windows 8 desktop, also to no avail.
    I'm sincerely hoping there's a simple solution to what has thus far been a disappointing debut to the Pro series.
    Kindest regards,
    Richard

    very frustrated iphone user !!

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

  • Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new one? Thanks.

    Hi there. Can someone please help me with copying photos from my old iPad to my new ipad2? Thanks.

    If you have a pc, when you plug your iPad in you should see the windows pop up window offering to backup the photos. Do that and it will save all your photos and videos to your computer where you can then sync them back to your new one.
    If the pop up doesn't come up, double click on my computer and navigate your way to the iPad. Double cick on it an d navigate to the DCIM folder. Drag your photos and videos to your pc, then sync them back onto your iPad.

    My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
    It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
    How is it hard to get it serviced?
    How long have you had your iPod?
    i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
    That is not good but it's not "terrible".
    If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
    thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
    It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
    i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
    What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
    If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

    There should be an option (on the left hand side of your iTunes) for your iPod. Then when you click on it you will just need to setup and there will be an option to sync at the bottom right hand corner

    Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
    Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
    It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
    When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them.  Same deal with digital media.
    If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
    If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.

  • Iweb will not open, can someone please help me?

    I opened iweb once and started my website, then the program quit unexpectedly and now it will not open anymore. can someone please help me because i really need to use the program.
    Thanks
    Courtney

    Were you able to launcn iWeb as part of the second fix, that of creating a new domain file?  Did iWeb open then?  If not boot into  Safe Mode and see if iWeb will launch. If it does reboot normally and try again.
    If still a no go log into another user account on your Mac and see if iWeb will launch and open a domain file?  If so than there's something in your account that is the culprit.
    If you can't launch iWeb in the other user account then a reinstallation of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apple the requried updaters.

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • I keep getting an error can someone please help

    i am trying to develop a web application using tomcat. i have a servlet that will not compile because of two things. firstly, it says that package beans does not exist and secondle it gives an error becuase im using a user bean here to set some attributes but it keeps saying it cannot resolve symbol User. can someone please help me sort this out. thanks

    You need to package the bean classes in the proper package (in your case beans), and then place them in WEB-INF/classes/<package dirs>.
    Then you need to import the classes in the JSP.
    Cheers!

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.
