CD with photos won't open on Windows computer

I inserted a CD into my Powerbook. I dragged a folder with photos onto it and burned it. On my Macs it opens fine. Someone tried to open it with their Windows computer but couldn't. Any ideas? But I did send a different CD with the same files, made the same way to a different person with Windows and they had no problem.

AFAIK if you burn a disk in OS X like that it will be Mac formatted (HFS). 
Go into Disk Utility (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities). Click the new image button. Set a Volume Name. On the Volume Size drop-down menu choose the disc size (i.e. 660MB for an 80min CD). On Volume Format choose "MS-DOS". Click Create and save to the desktop.
Drag the folder of photos to the disk image that will now be mounted on the desktop. When you're done arranging the files go back into Disk Utility and select the disk image on the left hand pane (recent images are listed). Then choose "Burn" from the images menu.
Personally I use the excellent Roxio Toast for such tasks as it's lot less fiddling and you don't get a large disk image taking up space on your hard drive.

  • IPhoto won't open any windows...

    I recently upgraded my Early 2008 MBPro to Lion. When I launch iPhoto, it doesn't open my library. In fact, it won't open any window but the preferences. I've reinstalled iPhoto with absolutely no luck.
    My library package is still there, and accessible from the finder. How can I get iPhoto working again? Is there a way to manually reconnect the library to it?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Thumbnail is fine, but photo won't open

    On my first gen iPhone, with the latest firmware update, 2.x.x, I have the following problem.
    A percentage of my photos won't open. All of the thumbnails are fine. But when I open the photo to full screen, I just get a black screen. I can select to go to the next or previous photo, but only some of them will view full screen, the rest are black. The ones I take with the camera all will open. Its just the ones that I import from iTunes/iPhoto. I also have an iPod classic, and all of these photos open fine on it. So not sure what the problem is.

    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I tried syncing photos through itunes and that didn't work either.What do I need to do to get photos on ipad?

    Have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I also can't download photos from pc through itunes.  Need help getting pictures on ipad.

    For the SD card, are you copying the photos onto it yourself from your computer ? If you are then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
    In terms of syncing photos, what happens when you try ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side selecting the Photos tab - using that tab you should be able to select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

    Hi,
    I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
    I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
    Your help would be welcome.
    Regards.
    Alain.

    Hi,
    I am going to reply to my own question.
    The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
    Too simple I guess!!!!

  • I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.  The upgrades indicate they were successful but I still get an error message when I try to open I-Photo telling me I need to prepare the library

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

    Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
    I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
    How did you transfer the song?
    To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see:  Share GarageBand songs

  • TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

    iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
    Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
    Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

    Howdy rtih,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

    Words with friends won't open on my IPad, it just shuts back down, what can I do to fix this?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Ipad Air won't open in My Computer

    Hi,
    My Ipad Air won't open in My Computer on my PC. My Iphone and older Ipad open just fine, but my newer one won't. It shows up fine in Itunes.
    I'm trying to get on it to see about copying photos. My PC has, for some reason, converted a bunch of my photos to the .ithmb suffix and they won't open on my PC. This whole episode is baffling. Any help would be appriciated.

    Hello BHP11,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your iPad Air. 
    First, if the AutoPlay dialog box does not open, the following article suggests to check your settings:
    Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
    Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If you are still not able to import photos, I recommend continuing with the following article:

    I am working off of Windows 7. My husband restarted the computer and it works fine now. But before you would click on the icon to open the program it would appear as if it were firing up and then just shut down with no message or anything. Not sure but it looks as if it's running ok now! Thanks for responding though!

  • Software won't open on my computer

    I have a macbook with the newest OS. I downloaded the software from the website but it won't open on my computer - it says it doesn't recognize it. I don't want to put that tiny CD in my computer because I have read it doesn't work and I may never get it out again. Any suggestions on how to get the software to sync my phone to my computer to work? Thanks!

  • File won't open on other computer

    Hi!
    As all of us ia mhaving a HARD time with fireworks on a mac.
    however i have avery recent problem, which prevents me from
    sharing my file:
    my complex woking file (30 pages) won't open on another
    computer or crashes on startup.
    it's an orginal cs3 / mac file and it won#t pen on another
    intel mac. yes i know this might also be a performance issue (
    since also my intelcore2 mac need 1-2 min to open the file ), but
    since the configuration of the two machines is very similiar there
    might t be a problem.
    does anybody of you have anythought on this?
    usually it helps to copy all data into a new file, but also
    this !annoying! workarounf does not help.
    what to do?
    thx

  • Keynote presentations won't open on my computer.

    Keynote '09 presentations won't open on my computer. Over the past few days I was prompted several times to update my keynote app and so I did. Now I can't open any presentations and it tells me to download a newer version. When I get to the mac app store to do so there is no update. Nor my app store does it show any recent updates for keynote or pages, which also prompted me to update over the past two days. Please help me open my keynote presentations!

    I would try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
