Burning multiple shows shared from iPhoto...problem

We are new with Apple and so are having trouble with the logic...along with everything being left handed!
We loaded up our 8000 pictures into the library...
Then decided to create more libraries to handle this many pictures.
Then moved the pictures to the various new libraries.
Then started making slideshows in iPhoto and "sharing" them to iDVD.
Single slideshows build and burn fine.
Multiple slideshows process fine until the burn stage when they bomb out....error message..."errors have occurred during the burn"...wow how helpful is that!
I am wondering why this only seems to occur when I try combining 2-3-4 shows from iPhoto...
Also, we are "sharing" our shows to iDVD...no one else seems to be using this term...any explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Barb,
FYI, (not that it does you any good), multiplexing is
combining the audio and video together into a single
data stream, which is really the last step in DVD
encoding.
16GB of free space should be enough, but you might
want to clear out a little more.
Create a simple (short) test iDVD project with a new
theme and one slideshow. Can you "Save as Disk
Image" the test project? If not, try creating a new
user and see if that user can create the disk image.
Assuming you can make a good image of another
project, my guess is that one particular photo or
audio file has a glitch that is causing problems.
Any photos different from the rest? All the audio
files the same?
John
thanks for those clues. I have established (by making a disk image of one of my slideshows without sound) that there is a problem with image/s in that one. Ditto with another with audio.
Now, is there any advice as to how one can establish which of some 40 images is the dodgy one. Also, how can it be established what it wrong with the audio. It appears to have the same characteristics as all the other pieces in my project, as far as I can see.

  • How do you burn photos to CDR from Iphoto. 9.5.1

    How do you burn photos in Iphoto 9.
    You used to do it from Share and now I can't find the instruction.

    That feature has been discontinued.  One can no longer burn a "mini" library from iPhoto to disk. 
    To burn photos to disk with iPhoto 9 and later the photos must be exported to a folder on the Desktop and that folder burned to disk via the Finder.

  • 'Send to iDVD" from iPhoto problems - photos don't show up properly

    Hi
    When I send photos/albums from iPhoto to iDVD using the function: Share->Send to iDVD' iDVD opens up, but the screen is blank in iDVD, the project info shows the photos are there, but there is nothing playing - just the blank screen.
    When I do the same action on our Tiger iMac it works as advertised, not so on our Leopard iMac.
    All software is up to date - iDVD 08, iPhoto 7.1.4
    Any thoughts anyone? Thanks

    Thank you. It doesn't actually "fail" in that it crashes or comes up with any error messages etc. It just doesn't show anything in the screen. I have pasted the Console entries that came up when I sent album to iDVD - can't see much evidence in there but you might?

  • Burning a slideshow directly from iPhoto

    Folks,
    I am wondering if it is possible to burn a slideshow to a DVD directly from iPhoto, or if you have to export the slideshow to iDVD and then burn?
    Secondly, I tried to export to iDVD last night and when the export was done, I received a message saying that the music I chose could only be played on authorized computers? This does not happen to me when I use iMovie to make a slideshow.
    Thanks,
    Joe B

    Hi,
    I have the same problem but I managed to burnd the slide show to a DVD but the sound and the changing of the pictures was not as the one on the iPhoto slide show. If you get an answer to this problem, please copy me into it.
    Thanks a lot from Sweden.

  • Slideshow project shared from iPhoto causes iDVD to crash

    I've searched the forum and found a few threads that sounded like they pertained to this issue, but I didn't see much discussion beyond the question or any answers that had confirmations that they solved the problem.
    I've created a slideshow project in iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5), and I used the "Send to iDVD" option from the "Share" menu to send it to iDVD '08 (version 7.0.4). The export appears to work, a menu button appears in iDVD, and I'm able to work in iDVD to make changes to the theme, menu text, etc. However, if I try to actually view the slideshow movie in iDVD (either by double clicking on the menu button in the iDVD interface, or by using the "Preview DVD playback" button and then choosing the movie from the DVD menu), iDVD crashes. This is happening consistently. I've gone to my Movies folder and found the exported movie file that iPhoto created. This plays back in QuickTime Player just fine. If I add the movie to my iDVD project manually (as opposed to using the "Send to iDVD" option in iPhoto), it still causes iDVD to crash if I try to preview it.
    Out of curiosity I brought a non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie into iDVD, and it played back with no problem. I checked the compression format. The movie that worked was an Apple Motion JPG A movie file. I tried another non-iPhoto generated QuickTime movie file. This time iDVD crashed again. I noticed that this second non-iPhoto generated movie file said it was using the "Apple MPEG4 Decompressor" which is the same format as the movie file that iPhoto did create. I then tried an Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 QuickTime movie file and that worked just fine. Is that the problem? Apple MPEG-4 Decompressor movie files cause iDVD to crash? Could that really be possible when this is the format that iPhoto uses when exporting? Is there a solution? I don't see a way to select a different compression format when exporting/sharing a slideshow from iPhoto.
    I discovered this problem while teaching a class to 12 students who don't know much about doing creative projects on a Mac. There are going to be 12 folks who don't think very much of Apple's computers and/or its software if I don't get this problem solved quickly (last day of class is tomorrow). Everything has been going along swimmingly up until this final step of getting the slideshow into iDVD and then burning it to take home. I'm stunned that this isn't working since I've never run into this problem before, but it's happening consistently with every workstation I've tried here in this lab. All computers are running iLife '08. We're all trying to do the same thing. Slideshow project created in iPhoto, trying to send it to iDVD for burning. I been doing stuff with iPhoto and iDVD for years without problems, so I didn't think I needed to run through an entire process here in this lab before teaching the class. I just expected everything to work like it always does. D'oh!
    Help!

    UPDATE:
    In case you're interested.... Just because iDVD crashes when I try to preview my slideshow movie from iPhoto doesn't mean I can't successfully burn my DVD project to disc. I was skeptical, but it works. The burn process went off without a hitch, and the DVD plays back using Mac OS X's built-in DVD Player.
    Another workaround is to use the "OneStep DVD from Movie..." option in the iDVD file menu and avoid working inside of iDVD.
    Someone suggested that perhaps my trouble was connected to using a legacy theme as opposed to one of the newest 7.0 themes. Any truth to that?
    Just because I can burn a DVD successfully doesn't mean I wouldn't still like to fix the crash problem if possible. I'm grateful that I now know that I can work around the crashing problem, but I do think it's something that should be fixed and not just avoided.

  • IPhoto 04 can't show photos from iPhoto 06 photo DVD?

    On my iBook is still iPhoto 04, it takes photos on photo CDs only when they were created in iPhoto 04, newer burned CDs or DVDs with iPhoto 05 or iPhoito 06 doesn't load as photo CD in the sources area. Any ideas?

    Hi, c.a.b. Older versions of iPhoto can't read iPhoto Libraries that were created by newer versions, because the structure of the iPhoto Library has changed from version to version to provide new features and greater flexibility. To receive photos on CDs from an iPhoto 5 or iPhoto 6 user, you'll need to ask the sender to export the pictures from iPhoto and then burn the CD in the Finder — just as they would do when sending photos to a Windows user. You will then be able to import the pictures into iP 4 with no problem.

    My new computer does not show share from my old computer how long does this take?

    I'm having the same problem. I have my main Library on a WXP machine and a new W7 laptop. My iphone 4 sees the library from the W7 machine, but neither the laptop nor the iphone see the big library on the WXP machine. I have configured firewall settings, tried the network wired and wireless, using same apple id on all devices, restarted itunes on all computers, turned sharing off and on on all computers. Nothing works.

  • Cannot burn CD-R direct from iPhoto Burn

    Hello. I am having a problem with burning a CD-R direct from iPhoto. This is what occurs:
    I insert a blank disk into the eMac. I select the album I want to burn in iPhoto. I click on the BURN button, bottom right. An error code comes on screen " You have inserted a disc containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted,click ignore". I click on ignore. A message comes on indicating it is 'preparing to burn'. After a short period that message disappears and another message comes on screen saying "Burning to the HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-41208 drive" Below that is the horizontal blue barber pole, which is not spinning and below that is "Preparing data for burning". The spinning beach ball is active also. That is all that happens. I have left it on for 15 or 20 minutes and no change so I eventually just Force Quit iPhoto to end the process. I have tried commercial music CD's in the eMac and they play okay. I have put a blank disk in and dragged a test item into it from the desktop and am able to burn that okay. It just appears the iPhoto burn is messed up somehow. A day or two ago I didnt have any problem burning direct from iPhoto.
    The first burning error (shown above) seems to mention 'RW/DVD'but this is a CD-R. Hope someone can give me some info on this. Thanks.
    PS: Since posting this on the eMac forum, I have tried trashing thumbnails 32/64/JPG and com.apple.iphoto.plist. I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions. I have removed iPhoto from the Dock and then put it back in. No change in the above situation. Hope someone can shed more light on this problem. Thank you.

    Hello and Thanks for input Bev and Brie. Yes I have tried Verbatim CD's and same results as with the Sony's I had previously been using. And Brie, I have trashed com.apple.iPhoto.plist (I mentioned that in the latter part of my original post) but no change. It has me baffled and of course unable to backup Albums direct from iPhoto, even though I can still Export to a Desktop Folder and drag to the CD for a Burn. One small thing that may or may not have a bearing on this, is that when I click the Burn 'eye' in iPhoto, at first there is no indication that anything is happening but eventually it opens and the 'eye'starts rotating. If I recall correctly, as soon as you clicked on the eye, it used to go into action immediately. Cheers and thanks again for your ideas.

  • Burning a windows DVD from iPhoto 09

    Dose a Windows DVD burned from iPhoto have the information on board to allow printing of the photos, I seem to recollect one had the choice of including this info prior to the burn, but cannot remember from where.

    It worked for me and I'm using iPhoto '08. I was trying to see how to make the MAC created DVD readable on Windows. see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2135626

  • IDVD 08 crashes when previewing slide show imported from iPhoto

    I've created a slideshow in iPhoto 08 and transferred it to iDVD 08 using the share menu. It appears in iDVD as a movie and I can add it to an iDVD project in the normal way. Everything appears fine but when I try to preview the slideshow in iDVD, iDVD crashes. The slideshow is stored as a Quicktime movie and I can play it using Quicktime.

    I'm having the exact same problem. From iPhoto under Share I select Send to iDVD. In iDVD the slideshow appears, but when I click on it iDVD crashes.
    I've also tried exporting from iPhoto which creates a Quicktime .mov file. That file then appears as a movie in iDVD under the media tab. But again, when I drag it into my movie and try to play it iDVD crashes.
    Other movies imported into this same project from iMovie play just fine, so I was also looking for a way to import the slideshow's Quicktime file into iMovie in hopes of exporting it from iMovie to iDVD in a different format, but the file is not selectable in iMovie, which I also found puzzling.
    I did this all the time in the old iDVD and really hope to get this working again.....
    Please help!
    thanks

  • Facebook loses descriptions when shared from iPhoto 9.4.2

    When I share individual photos or photo albums from iPhoto latest (9.4.2) to Facebook all descriptions are lost (other than album description); I know this was working a few months ago so not sure what's up now. I found a few older support threads, but nothing recent of relevance. I did temporarily delete the iPhoto app in Facebook, but no change.
    Without being able to automatically transfer/update descriptions it gets to be a big pain. Ideas appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jim P.

    I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to abandon the "official" share button for uploading to facebook, too much trouble. It's been causing iPhoto to crash and also you have to put the photo description into the title field in order to get it to appear on facebook which is useless. From here on I'm going to enter the descriptions in iPhoto in the correct field (descriptions) and use the file->export option and the settings below to export the files which I'll then upload to facebook using the facebook uploader, at least that way I end up with no crashes and I get the description field in iPhoto filled in correctly and the description data uploaded to facebook.
    It shouldn't be necessary to do it this way, but it is.
    I've no idea what that will do with faces information, nothing I suppose, I'll try it out

  • How do you burn photos to DVD from iPhoto?

    How do you burn DVDs of photos in iPhoto?

    Depends.
    Want to just back up/share the photos? Export them to a Folder on the desktop and then burn that with the Finder. Result: A DIsk with a folder(s) of images.
    Want to back up the Library - all the images, versions, database file and so on? Share -> Burn. Remember a disk created in this way will not make any sense execpt to iPhoto.
    Want to burn to a DVD that you can view on a domestic DVD player? Make a slideshow. Export that. Then use  a DVD authouring programme to create that disk. iDVD is no longer developed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk. There are other options:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
    Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
    But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

  • Problems sharing from iPhoto

    I have been having lots of issues with iphoto lately, but one that I can at least easily explain relates to sharing photos.  I select 5 photos to share, choose to share by email and when the next box opens where I can choose what layout I would like to use and it shows the photos I have chosen....the photos are wrong.  Sometimes, it duplicates a photo, other times it selects photos that I did not choose.  I have closed out, re-opened, but no diference.  What is going wrong.
    Jocelyn

    That was a test, and tells us that there is an issue within your main library that iPhoto's own tools can't resolve.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Emailing multiple individual photos from iPhoto is causing the same image to be on different emails. Need help!

    I am using iPhoto to edit my pictures from my Canon 60d. As I edit the photos, I send them by email within iPhoto (using the Large setting) to several members of my family. Last night I sent about 20 different pictures with different descriptive titles in the email to multiple people. However, when they view them in their email on their iPhones, it is showing the first picture over and over again, no matter what the title of the email says the photo is. It is even stretching the picture to either landscape or portrait depending on the view of the different pics in each email themselves but is still showing the same pic no matter the orientation.
    I need to figure out if this is a bug with iPhoto and iPhone or if I need to do something different. You would think if you choose an image and email it, it would be THAT image. It only began within the last two weeks or so but it has been consistent when emailing multiple single photos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Greetings,
    I've seen this issue myself between iPhoto and an iOS device.  It appears to be an issue with the how the iOS device sees the email templates used by iPhoto '11's built in email feature.
    Suggestions:
    Let Apple know you have this issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    Go to iPhoto > Preferences > General > Email photos using > MailThis will bypass the email templates and send your images directly from the Apple Mail program.  You won't have the pretty templates, but the images will come through (which is the important part in my opinion).
    Keep your software up to date on your computer and on your iOS devices. (If / when a fix comes, that's how you'll get it.)
    Cheers.

  • Setting duration of multiple photos imported from iPhoto albums

    in iMovie 5, i had no problem importing the photos from my iPhoto albums, and adjusting the 'Photo Settings' to what i needed, about 0:05 or 0:06. It seems in iMovie 6, that is no longer possible. Other posts here have mentioned setting of 0:03 or 0:11, but if not, it will default to some other value.
    Anyway, in iMovie 5, i had no problem changing the duration to play each picture to the value i wanted, typically selecting all the photos in the project, and moving the slider bar or entering the exact value i wanted (0:00:05). That's not possible in iMovie 6, as far as i can tell. The only way i've found is to select each photo individually, 'get info', and set the value. The project is thousands of photos from 2 webcams of a building construction, creating a time-lapse video. I'm not about to select each of 25k photos to input a value...
    I've seen the mention of using QuickTime Pro to do something similar. Is that the only option, or is there a way to do this with iMovie6. We only bought iLife '06 to complete the project (and upgraded, including updating all iPhoto albums & iMovie projects to newer versions), as iMovie 5 was not able to handle the large # of photos.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    However, dragging the 5 photos to the clip area, they go back to that same 9:29 default...
    Very strange. Instead of dragging the photos, try clicking the Apply button in the Photo Settings window.
    That probably won't work. Something is causing iMovie to "stick" at 9:29. Drag the duration slider to a time less than 9:29 and import an image. Then save the project. Now do the routine I described earlier. It might start working.
    If still no luck, quit iMovie and trash the iMovie preference file. It's located in your UserName/Library/Preferences folder. It's called "com.apple.iMovie.plist".
    It contains the last Ken Burns settings. Discarding the preference file will force it return to a new default duration setting. One that works, hopefully. Then do the routine I described earlier.
    If it still doesn't work, something is messing up iMovie. Rule out the problems descrbed here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
    Problems "talking" to iPhoto can cause iMovie to fail to locate the image, but it shouldn't affect the duration.
