"Erase before burning" option in iPhoto 6

I see the option and a "Leave disk appendable" option but neither are ever avaliable.
Is there a way to have the iPhoto erase the disk then burn or do I have to always have to erase using Disk Utility first then burn in iPhoto?
Thanks

The easiest way is to select the photos and export them to a desktop folder and then burn that folder

Share - Burn option in IPhoto - not working like I thought it would

Hi
I have selected 67 photos in iphoto - totalling 206MB in size. I want to burn these to a CD Rom to give to a friend to use as jpegs
I select Share - Burn and insert a blank CD ROM
I get the error message "There is not enough space on the disc to burn all the photos you selected."
But the disk can take 700MB????
Then I try by exporting the same photos to a folder on my mac, and then burning these to the CDROM outside of iPhoto - and that works fine
So why does the SHARE - BURN option not work in iPhoto in this way?
Many thanks

The Share -> Burn option creates a "mini" iPhoto Library on the disk, including all the versions, thumbnails, databases and so on. It's designed for sharing with another iPhoto user.
If you just want to share the photos the File -> Export option is the way to go.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. The photos are now on the CD-R. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto. I can not shut down the computer until iphoto shuts down.

Hit Command + Option + esc on your keyboard and force quit iPhoto. I'm sure it just got stuck talking to your optical drive.
Hope it helped

How to burn albums in iPhoto with external DVD drive?

I have the new iMac which doesn't contain a DVD drive... so I bought an external DVD drive and I am trying to burn albums from iPhoto but in the "share" option, the "burn to disc" option doesn't come up. It's as if iPhoto doesn't recognize a DVD drive available, but it is. Anyone know a fix to this? Thank you!

open the album and select all - export to a desktop folder (see the user tip on exporting for the various options available) and then in the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Burn command in iPhoto not working

The Burn command in iPhoto 5.0.4 Share menu stopped working with 2 Pioneer burners installed in my G4 MDD. The only change I made some time before this problem started was OS X 10.4.10 update. Everything worked fine in 10.4.9.
Now whenever I click on Burn in iPhoto, it seems to start burning, but changes almost immediately to "finishing burn" and the following message is displayed depending on the drive selected:
"The burn to the PIONEER DVD–RW DVR-104(or PIONEER DVD–RW DVR–111) drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
The disc remains unused and can be successfully burned in another application.
Both burners work OK in Disk Utility and in Roxio Toast.
I am rather concerned with this problem and will appreciate any help. Thanks. Josef

I have resolved my problem, and thought I'd share the solution.
1. tested burning to a DVD directly from finder. Worked fine. so I knew the media was fine, and the hardware was fine, and the driver was fine.
2. Therefore, problem is iPhoto. But what?
3. From iPhoto, export your photos (same set you wanted to burn) to a folder somewhere. In my case, this action FAILED. Some of the files could NOT be created. By looking at the files exported before the failure, I could determine which photo was "bad". Tried opening that photo for editing in iPhoto, and it was not there! There was a thumbnail, and file info, but no actual photo.
4. I searched the iphoto directory structure and found that the original photo file was there. So, from iphoto I selected the bad photo and did "revert to original". That worked, and now I could see the photo in iphoto edit mode.
5. Try exporting to a folder again. Again...find another bad photo...repeat above process....until you can successfully export all the photos you want to burn.
6. Now, try burning to DVD from iPhoto again. For me...this step worked. Yay.
I have no idea how I got so many corrupted photos in my library. But, I suspect is was a result of a couple years of collecting photos and moving iphoto libraries around, etc. I spent a whole day fixing up all the corrupted photos in a 7,000 photo library. Ouch. But now, burning works fine.
The real problem here is that iPhoto doesn't give a useful error message when it can't burn the image.
I hope this procedure helps someone.

It appears my kid has erased my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Anyone know how to get them back?

My kid has erased my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Does anyone know how to get them back?

WIthout a backup of your data previously, they are all gone.
The only option you have now is data recovery.
You need to purchase, download, install and use a data recovery app like this.
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
You need to completely stop using your computer ASAP, at this point and just run the data recovery app and let it do its thing.
Every moment that you keep regularly using your computer risks rewriting new data in the locations where your deleted data may still reside.
A very expensive and time consuming lesson to be learned here.
Purchase and connect up a large capacity external hard drive (a drive larger than your Mac's internal hard drive) preferably a hard drive that uses FireWire 400/800 connection and use a data cloning app like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make yourself a exact, bootable copy of your Mac's internal drive to the new external hard drive.
This will be your data backup drive.

Can't see blank cds or dvds, no burn options

I recently started organizing my photos from the past year and wanted to burn them to a cd or dvd as an archive. I found that whenever I insert a blank cd or dvd I get music or video options but no burn option, and no icons show up on my desktop. The only way that I have been able to burn media is to create a burn folder and then insert a blank disk. These then show up on my hard drive but don't see visible on my b&w g3 or my husbands non mac pc. All of this is off a clean reinstall of system software and upgrades to 10.4.4

Take a look at your CDs & DVDs System Preferences. What options are specified for what happens when you insert blank CDs or DVDs? If you want to burn disks with files & folders on them, set it to "Open Finder". You will then be prompted to give your disk a name when you put it in. If you get the music option, you'd have to next open iTunes and burn a music CD from iTunes. Mac OS X will reserve a disk like this and not show it in the finder because it thinks you want to open iTunes and burn your music from there.
A DVD burned on a Mac will not be usable in a Windows PC. Because they hold more information, they'll be formatted as a Mac OS Extended format disk. Without some third party software, a Mac formatted disk like this is not readable by a Windows PC. However, a standard data CD burned by the Finder should be. It will be a "hybrid" Mac OS Extended/ISO9660 disk that should be readable by both a Mac and a Windows PC. It's possible the type of CD-R disks you're using don't work well with your PC's optical drive, you might try a different brand. Since the Blue & White G3 was constructed before CD-Rs or DVD±R/RWs were invented, it's likely it may not be able to read those kidns of disks as well.

I can not download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store. I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

I am currently running OS X Yosemite on my MAC. I cannot download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store. I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

iPhoto 8.1.2.
OS X 10.10.2 is correct.
Your only options are to:
1 - upgrade to 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0
or
2 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from an online retailer like Amazon.com , install iPhoto 9.0 and upgrade it to 9.4.3 via these updaters:
update to iPhoto 9.2.1
update to iPhoto 9.3
update to iPhoto 9.3.2
update to iPhoto 9.4
and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3
From there you may be able to get iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store but not sure.

How can i find my errors during project validation before burning my project

How Can I find the errors during the project validation before burning the project??

Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.

Emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have elected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening?

emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have selected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening? any ideas?

iCloud emails in the Trash are deleted after 30 days on the website, and this over-rides the 'never' setting in Mail. There is no way of stopping this. (The Trash isn't really intended as a permanent storage area.)
Try this workaround. Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the sidebar, click on '+' to the right of 'Folders' to create a new folder; give it a suitable name.
Now click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left. At the bottom of the pane which opens, set the 'Move deleted messages to' drop-down menu to your new folder.
I'm not sure whether, when you delete messages in the Mail application, they will go to the Trash or your new folder - you'll need to experiment. I have a nasty feeling that Mail will simply move them to the Trash as before. If this is the case you will have to move them to your new folder manually - dragging messages directly to this folder rather than hitting the delete key will be the easiest way.

Burning slideshows from IPhoto

I have assembled an album on IPhoto that I want to burn to a DVD disc. I have followed all the online help yet still find that I cannot achieve my goal. On the online help it states to click 'Share' then 'burn' but the 'burn' option isn't accessible (dimmed). Can anyone help me?
Many thanks.

It's a book that you're referring to. You should be able to get the Share ➙ iDVD menu to work if you've in the book mode. That will create a QT movie of the book and export to iDVD.
There's another way to get a book as a slideshow in an iDVD project:
1 - while in the All Pages mode of the book type Command+P to start a print job.
2- in the print window click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto" menu option.
3 - that will create a JPEG file for each page of the book and import them into iPhoto.
4 - select those files and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option.
Now if the Share ➙ iDVD menu option is grayed out in all areas of iPhoto try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project: - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

It means that iDVD has found a problem with one of the movies added to the project. Did you edit the movie after it had been added to the project.
Create a new project and add your assets, movies, slides, etc. again and follow this workflow to help ensure 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.

Can't erase or burn CD-RW

I have burned Memorex CD-RW discs in my Imac Intel Core 2 Duo 24" machine in the past but can no longer do so. When I go to erase CD-RW disks I have successfully used before in this machine, they no longer can be erased. When I try to burn to a blank CD-RW disk that have been used before in this machine, I get an error whether I try to burn from the finder or from iTunes 10. I can read these CD-RW disks, and I can erase and burn DVD-RW disks that I have used before.
Why would I no longer be able to burn to CD-RW disks?

I have tried to erase the CD-RW in Disk Utility. The application appears to go through the process using Erase Data on Disk: Quickly or Completely. The disk disappears from the list of disk on the side bar and I get the message, "Preparing to erase optical media" in the progress bar for a while. Then the progress bar disappears, and the disk reappears on the side bar in my list of disks.

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.
