Burning photo cd for tv

I don't get it
I burned a photo cd last July in iphoto, carried it cross country to my mom's, and then went shopping for a TV/DVD player . I went thru alot of stores and found one. I Can't tell ya what brand it is but it played it as a slide show on the tv just fine.
Send a few cds with the Last one in Nov. They worked just fine.
I test them on a Go Video dual deck of vcr/dvd burned-player
It played the cd as one picture then one data screen until we went thru the whole thing.
now it will only allow us to go to one picture at a time.
seems each photo is in its only folder.
did something happen to iphoto since then? I see that others have been told that this does not work but it did!
IDVD might be the answer but last version I had always wanted more memory on the hard drive than I had.
And it takes so long to set up and make pretty!
Is there another work around or do I have to buy more software now?
mac intel mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   and old 10.3 emac limping bad!

B S-S:
Another user posted a problem similar, not for photo CDs but with the extra file or whatever for each photo burned to the CD. Can you describe how you go about burning the disk? Also have you run any software updates since the first successful burns. Also what does the burned disk look like in the Finder?
Do they still play OK on your Mom's player or do both players show the same problem?
Regarding iDVD, your intel Mini should handle that pretty well.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Best way to burn photo cd for PC user?

    I want to share some pictures with a PC user. The last photos burned to a cd for a PC user was littered with the UNIX files .ds and .ds_store etc. It confused the PC user mightily.
    Is there a best practice for burning photos to disc for PC users to keep it free of OS litter?
    Thanks!

    The displayed sort order of files is determined by the settings in the operating system that is displaying the contents of the folder (or directory). The user controls those settings when the folder contents are displayed, not iPhoto during the export.
    One consideration that is important though... If you export images from iPhoto to a folder by dragging the images from the iPhoto Window, the original file creation dates will be retained (the image files are copied), but if the images are exported via the iPhoto "Export..." dialog, the exported image files will end up with the current date and time.

  • Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

    Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users? 

    You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
    If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

  • I am unable to burn any info-photo ect on to a disk. I have a 27" I mac mid 2010 version. I put in a disk, hit burn, it runs for about 3 mins and ejects the disk sayiny there was an error with the drive and will not restart.

    The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Since loading Lion I can no longer burn photos form iPhoto on a dvd for archive purposes

    Since loading Lion on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer burn photos form iphoto for archarving purposes.  I used to load the dvd and it would showup on the screen then drag highlighted photos onto the dvd.  Now, dvd only shows up sometimes and when it does, it tells me the new disk is full.  How can such an easy task become obsolete with this update.   I have also tried using idvd for archiving purposes but this process will only allow viewing.  I want to be able to reload photos back onto the computer at a later date.

    I habe the same problem and cant find a helpful post on the web!
    How can i get it back to work???

  • HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

    I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc.  I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive.  However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive.  How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

    What kind of DVD disk do you want to create?  A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set.  They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
    If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
    For a data disk:
    1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu.  Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
    2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
    3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
    3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
    For a video DVD disk:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure 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.
    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.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Problem with burning photo to a disk on MacBook Pro.

    I am not able to burn photos from my iPhoto album onto a blank disk. Please someone helps!

    I did find the information listed and I tried that. I t worked! Thank you for responding so quickly. What I did was to send photos to finder and burned them to a disk, and that worked perfectly. I am still learning the process. I never had any problems on my old Apple computer.

  • Can't burn photos to DVD+RW on my hp Pavilion 6000 ( drive is hp DVD A DH16A BLH )

    Can you play DVD movies on the drive? I ask because it is not uncommon for one feature on multifunction drives (like a CD-DVD drive) to stop functioning. There are actually multiple lasers in there for the separate functions. In other words the CD part can work fine but the DVD part go bad. 
    Is this an external DVD burner or the one built into the laptop?

  • How do I burn photos to a CD/DVD in Elements 10?

    I have Elements 8 and burning photos to a CD/DVD is very easy to do.  I am helping someone who just bought a new computer and Elements 10 is on it.  I tried on her version, but I couln't find how to do it.   I couldn't even find a video tutorial on how to do it in Elements 10.  She has not created an account yet - could that prevent access to the Adobe TV tutorials.  I have had my version for two years and I forgot how I set it up.
    Thanks for the help.

    What kind of CD/DVD do you want to make? Just a data disc with photos on it? Open photos, then Editor>Share>More Options works for both macs and windows computers. In windows you can use File>Export in the organizer, too, or File>copy/move.
    The tutorials that used to need the inspiration browser are now at tv.adobe.com. Anyone can watch them.

  • How do I save/burn photos with their intended orientation

    When I upload photos they display with the proper orientation ie: landscape or portrait. When I burn photos or load them to a web site they all transfer in landscape format. I am using a canon program to upload and it is supposed to auto orient the images. Is the Mac by passing this? Is there a simple setting I need to change?
    I am new to Mac and I find this very frustrating as my customers will not be happy having to look at hundreds of photographs sideways. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    You may have to use an image editor software for either singular or batch correction of the rotation, where you would 'save' or 'save as' to assure a corrected file reflecting this rotational change is permanently retained.
    Some time ago, I refused to further use camera maker image editing software; perhaps as long ago as Jag 10.2. There were other options in OS 9.2.2 & Before, which worked wonderfully and still do.
    For OS X minor edits, I've used a third-party freeware and the author has made several revisions available, I've found it helpful, yet have barely used only a small fraction of the tools I see built in.
    •ToyViewer for OS X: (freeware)
    http://homepage.mac.com/t_ogihara/software/OSX/toyv-eng.html
    There are other image editors, to include the OS X's own Preview app; perhaps it may be adequate. In some older Preview versions, the rotation tool failed to function, so that enforced my idea of using ToyViewer. Retail image editors and upscale software offer more detailed control over images, or similar controls, at a price.
    With the idea of minimalistic and realistic photography, I've never had a desire to photoshop anything... One could take a terrible 'image capture' and after hours at a workstation, create a masterpiece of fiction. My background is in film photography and natural outdoor environments.
    The ability to do batch corrections, to say, rotate all images -90° dropped into a folder, could be done in several ways; some may include creating a script, or finding one another user has made, & apply it.
    While I have a Lumix/Panasonic camera and a Nikon DSLR, I've not used either of the makers offered software to edit or manipulate images I've captured with these cameras; and prefer to attempt to most accurately or satisfactorily get the correct image at the 'time of exposure' which means I only rotate the incorrectly saved horizontals to a vertical format, with software after downloading. And no other edits.
    With a long film-related photography background, nice vintage equipment and a small collection, I have doubts about digital in several capacities; however convenient and hazard-free digital imagery is in the home or office environment. The fun and alchemy is missing, and so can the honesty in the resulting product.
    Good luck and happy computing!

  • Burn photo to dvd

    how can I burn Photo to a dvd

    Hi Martha1963,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will show you how to burn your data to a DVD using the Finder application.
    Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    Disc Burning Quick Assist
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1152#learn2
    Burning CDs and DVDs using the Finder in Mac OS X
    Use the Finder in Mac OS X if you want to burn specific files to a disc.
    Note: If you want to back up your entire system, you should use Time Machine (with a hard disk). Burning discs is a good choice for copying select files to a disc, rather than your entire system.
    In Mac OS X, you can either:
    Insert a blank disc, drag files you want to burn to the disc, then click Burn or choose Burn from the File menu. See this article for more information.
    or
    You can create a Burn Folder named with what you want your disc's name to be, fill it with content you want to burn to disc, click Burn when ready, and insert a disc when prompted. To create a Burn Folder, in the Finder choose New Burn Folder from the File menu.
    Cheers,

  • How To Burn Photos OUTSIDE of iPhoto?

    Im tired of iPhoto, the whole program is just a mess. Every time i burn a disc from there it puts that whole mess of a puzzel of folders just to get to the photos. How do you burn discs outside of iphoto? I tried the burn folder, but it did nothing. every time i hit the burn button it told me to insert a disc (which I had already done, brand new, enough space, everything was fine about the disc) Why does apple make it so complicated to do such a normal task, almost want to go back to my PC. Same thing goes for DVDs, I cant burn a DVD for the life of me. Ive read the instructions on their support page, and follow them pecicly, and nothing. always just spaces out on me.

    Hi adamphoto,
    This is what you have been doing....
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165523
    this is what you want to do...
    Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
    Can you explain again the exact steps you are going through to burn a CD/DVD.
    What do you want to burn on the DVD?
    this is what i am doing right now...
    Create a burn folder. It should be listed in the left column of the finder window.
    Drag the files/folders you want to burn on top of the burn folder in the left hand column.
    Highlight the burn folder in the left hand column.
    In the window on the right will be the folders/files you dragged into the burn folder. there will also be a burn button in that window.
    Click the burn button.
    You will be asked to insert a disc.
    Insert a disc.
    the little window will go away and another window will pop up and you will be asked to type in a name for the disc.
    Type in a name.
    Follow instructions from there and the burning will start

  • Burning photos to DVD/CD

    I'm trying to burn photos from Lightroom 5, but I can only get one photos on the CD/DVD before it will not allow me to add more.  Is there an app the will work or do I need one?

    Not clear how this involves iPhoto for the mac - I think your question probably belongs in a Adobe Light Room forum
    In iPhoto it is easy - select the photos in iPoto and export to a desktop folder and using the finder burn that folder to disk

  • 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.
