Burn photo albums to disc

I have my photos in yearly projects but I want to burn individual albums, not the whole project.
For example: the Project is 2012, and I have multiple albums listed by date taken and subjects inside the project. I want to burn the individual albums to discs to give to people. I did get "burn to disc" and downloaded and installed it, which I saw recommened in a discussion, but I cannot find it in aperture. When I go to the export feature in aperture it does not show up.
Can anyone help with this. I am able to burn the entire project, but I want to burn individual albums inside of the project.
Thanks,
Karen

What I am trying to do is burn my edited photos to a DVD so that I can put them on my PC as a backup. I do backup with time machine, and I use carbonite. I do not like the way Aperture is backed up with Carbonite, but I do like the way it backs up my photos on the PC.
When I try to do burn the albums, the photo sizes are small. For example, a 3MB file may be burned as a 650KB file. That is my problem.
I have found a work around, but it is time consuming.
Thanks for your reply.

I can't burn photo files to disc on my Mac. Unexpected error code 0x8002006E

Why can't I burn photo files to disc on my Mac. It shows "unexpected error code 0x8002006E
The iphoto version is '09 (8.1.2 424)

The two usual causes of this messages is poor media and too high a burn speed. Try using a different brand of disk. Verbatim is the most recommended brand and a slower burn speed, around 4X.

Failing to burn photos onto a disc

When I try to burn photos onto a USB SuperDrive it fails. It worked before, but now it says "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and cannot recover or retry." Is there anything I can do?

Hi Old Toad, thanks for the reply. I've been busy the last couple of days and haven't been able to get back onto the forum until now. I'm trying to burn from iPhoto - I'm not sure how to from Finder and can't seem to find a path for that. If that works then that would save me a bit of hassle to be honest. The weird thing is that while trying to burn photos onto a disc (and wasting about 14 of them in the process) I tested it on an iTunes playlist and that worked without a hitch. I'll explore Finder, but if you could give me a few pointers it would be appreciated.
I'm using Mountain Lion on a MacBook Air that is coming up for a year old, which was bought at the same time as the SuperDrive.

How do you burn photos to a disc so that the titles are shown and they can be used in windows?

do

Are they in iPhoto?
Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and use the File -> Export command. In the resulting window, at File Name, select 'Use Title'. Also check the boxes at Title and Keywords, and they will be written to the IPTC metdata of the files. Complete the export to a folder on the desktop and iPhoto will export the photos using the Title as a Filename. Burn that folder with the Finder.

Burning photo albums/library onto a disc help

Hi. I am a new MAC user and I'm having problems burnings pictures onto a DVD/DV-R disc. I want to burn ALL my albums but I keep hitting road blocks. I can't drag anything to the empty disc. I've used the Disk Utility but it doesn't want to burn anything. I'm stuck and need help, Please. Thanks!

Terence,
Thx for being such an active helper on this forum!
Perhaps you can help me too.
When I run the procedure to Share/Burn a DVD to back-up my iPhoto Library the result does not include all my Albums. In fact, after running a couple of these on my different Libraries, it seems only one Album in shown in the resulting DVD.
When I use this procedure I am selecting only the Events folder because this seems to be the only way to capture all the photos in the Library. If I select all the Albums then only the photos in the Albums are selected and these do not constitute all of my photos in the Library. This makes sense of course. I have not tried burning a DVD this way because it doesn't appear that it would archive all my photos.
Do you have any suggestions for me please? I am using iPhoto '09 (8.1.1).
Thank you best regards.

New to macbook, how do i burn photos to a disc?

Just upgraded from PC to macbook pro. Came with Lion installed. How do I get pics from iphoto to burn to disc? I put in a blank disc, chose the photos i wanted and then clicked the burn button but the wheel just spinned saying "preparing photos to burn". Should it take a long time before it starts to burn?

Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)

800-692-7753
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $43.

Burn photos to disc

With the new iPhoto 11, and Aperture, I have no idea how to burn a CD or DVD with my files, as the older versions let me. How can I do it?
Thanks

iPhoto '11: Create your own photo CDs and DVDs
If you have a disc drive that can burn discs, you can share or archive your photos (and video clips) by putting them on a CD or DVD.
You can burn photos, albums, and video clips to disc, but you can’t directly burn slideshows or projects (such as books, cards, and calendars) created in iPhoto.
To burn a CD or DVD for viewing in iPhoto:
                           Select the albums, photos, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
                           Choose Share > Burn.
                           Insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.                           Disc information appears at the bottom of the iPhoto viewing area. The green area on the disc icon represents the amount of disc space your photos require.
                           If necessary, type a new name for the disc in the Name field.
                           Click the Burn button.
                           Click the Burn button in the Burn Disc window.

Burning more photos to a disc that already has photos

I am always burning photos to a disc to bring to a lab to print. Is there a way to leave the disc open so that I can add photos to a disc that already has photos so I don't go through so many discs?

From Disk Utility Help:
Recording on a recordable CD more than once
Normally, you can burn items to a recordable CD, such as a CD-R or CD-RW, only one time. However, if you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can burn items to a disk in more than one session as long as space is available. This is also called multisession burning.
In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume's disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list and choose Images > Burn.
Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
Insert a blank recordable CD in the optical drive, and click Burn.
To add more files to the disc later, follow the steps above. You can continue this process until all available space on the disc is used.
Note that to do this, you should export the files that you want to burn to a separate location on your hard disk rather than trying to burn them direct from the iPhoto Library folder.

I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc. It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop. Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work. Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes. Doing so, does nothing at all. And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?". When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD. In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop. I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
Thank you.

Beavis2084,
Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
Here's what I did:
1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
I don't know what to do anymore...

I just burned photos from different albums to CD-R. When I checked on the photos I burned on the CD-R afterwards, I noticed that the titles of each folder that these photos are extracted from appear. How can I get rid of these titles???

iPhoto 9.6 cannot open iPhoto Libraries on CD/DVD. The iPhoto Library needs to be on a writable storage. Copy the iPhoto library from the disk to a folder in your Pictures folder. And then run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on that copy, see this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

Will not burn photos to disc

iPhoto will not burn photos to a DVD disc(Maxell DVD+R).
iMac response is:
"The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."
These Maxell DVD's are probably 2+ years old. However, I was able to burn 2 disc early this morning. Could it be a heat problem with the SuperDrive?
Your Thoughts?

If you have burned 5 or 6 disc in a row then maybe heat could be a concern. I don't think so with just 2. Are you able to burn a disc, CD or DVD, from the Finder or is it just from iPhoto?
Run the Apple Hardware test as described here: OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test

What is the best way to burn a photo album from iPhoto to a CD?

When I burn photos in an album to a CD, and I open it afterward, why are there 7 files, and THREE folders, entitled "Data", "Modified", and "Originals", each containing sub folders with the pictures in them, and not just ONE containing the selected photos? This is so confusing. Is there a simpler way to do this?

I would like to burn an i-photo album with subtitles to a CD with the photos in the same sequence as they appear in the album and to have the CD work the same on a PC as on the MAC.

I have created several i-photo albums with subtitles and proceeded to burn them to a CD. The CD burned with the correct subtitles, however, the photos did not appear in the same sequence. I tried another method and the photos appeared in the proper sequence, however, my subtitles did not appear as in the albums. Is there a method that I can burn an album to a CD with the photos in the same sequence and with the same subtitles as in the album?
I would also like this CD to work the same on a PC as it does on a MAC.

sorry but files on a CD have no order - filles are simply bits on the disk - the file viewer used to view them determines the order of viewing - for example using the finder on the Mac you can view files in Alpha order, date created order, date modified order, file size order, etc, etc, etc
If you expor tthe files to a desktop folder using the sequetial option then the finder (and probably Windows explorer) would display them in the order you want IF the user views them in alpha order
Bottom line is that you have no control over how the end user views files - that they make

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpegs?

How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpeg files? I'm wanting to burn the iPhoto library exactly as it appears in the "album", so they appear as jpegs, so you can't tell that the files have been edited in iPhoto. (I have edited some of the photos in iPhoto.)
I tried this using the "share/burn" menu option, however, it included the original files, which defeats the purpose of editing them.
Any suggestions?

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to CD with the Finder.

Trouble burning photos do disc

Hello!
I am having all kinds of trouble saving my photos to a CD-RW. I was able to burn an album using iPhoto, but from what I understand, I will only be able to view these in iPhoto. I want to be able to back my images up with the ability to view them on any computer.
I tried burning from the finder, but when I click on the "burn" button an error message appears telling me to insert a blank CD with enough space. There was already a blank CD inserted. I've tried two different types of blank CD's, neither worked in the finder.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm running out of room on my hard drive and need to get these photos backed up so I can delete them.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
