Can't burn photos to DVD - iPhoto 5.04

Greetings,
I asked this long ago, but has anyone succesfully figured out how to burn discs with iPhoto 5.04?
I've seen many discussions on subject, but has it ever been resolved? prior versions seemed to work fine, all I ever get now is the "Finishing Burn" dialog.
Does iPhoto 6 resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim

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?

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

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.

Can't burn photo's to dvd

On my MBP. iLife 11.
I am trying to burn photos to dvd and getting the error message " the disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
Anyone know what this means?

Joe,
Thank you for the post and the link. I was having a heck of a time finding any posts related to my problem. I blew compressed air into the cd/dvd slot. Had to do it a couple of times, but then i was able to burn a couple dvd's. Had to blow air again and was able to burn one more dvd. Tried again, but still unable to burn the last dvd. I ran hardware test but it says everything is fine.
My new error messages is "the disc can't be burned because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)" ANY ideas on what them might mean?

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.

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,
- Judy

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.
Regards
TD

I can't burn CD or DVD. I get a "medium write error." I bought an external CD drive, and get the same message.

I can't burn CDs or DVDs. I get a "medium write error." Bought a new external CD drive, and get the same message.

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to burn to disk via the iPhoto Share ➙ Burn menu? That produces a mini library on the disk that can be used only by a Mac running iPhoto.
If you want to burn just some image files to a data CD/DVD disk then follow Larry's recommended workflow.
What disk type and manufacturer are your using? What system and iPhoto version are you running? Have you run the OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test? When did the burning proiblem begin? If you can't burn a disk from the Finder then it's a hardware or system problem and not an iPhoto one.

Can I burn to mini-DVD disc

Can I burn to mini-DVD discs on my iBook G4? I have a superdrive and I have burned the project succesfully on a regular DVD but the person that I am burning it for was told it had to be turned in on a mini-DVD.
Not knowing if the mini would be compatiable or possibly get stuck I was afraid to try it without some comformation that it has been done by someone else before. It is a work computer.
I tried to burn it on my sons PC and on my Mom's PC but neither worked. Neither acknowledges the mini-DVD.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Amber,
as Scalz wrote, never put non-standard-sized/shaped disks into slot-in drives...!!
besides....
miniDVD can have two meanings:
* these %$§*? DVDcamcorders record on miniDVD (small diameter, but mainly DVD)
* and you are able to burn a DVDcontent (muxxed mp2 stream) onto a CD-R - that is also called miniDVD.... I was able to fit 10min onto such, but my DVDstandalone doesn't accept such disks....
my guess, the recipient of your project tries to use his DVDcamcorder as a DVDplayer.... wow....... you get "grown up" DVDplayers for 39$.....
many external burners accept these miniDVD-r... maybe, someone can borrow you such? and, my guess, iDVD doesn't accept them, you need to use Toast (as I did for my dvd-cd-r experiment)

Can't activate photo stream in iPhoto

Hi
It seems that I can't activate photo stream in iPhoto. When I try to click "Activate photo stream" in iPhoto > Settings > Photo Stream it uncheck itself right away. Realy frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?

Jepp, same problem here.
Photo Stream enables/activates on both my iPhone and Macbook Air, but not on my iMac desktop. Enabling it in System and iPhoto Preferences is not possible ...
Very annoying.
Will check some other help forums too to see if a solution is available ...
Keep us posted anyone else who discovers a solution to the problem ...

yeah the keynote they just did showed what appeared to be a new version of Aperture running on the Mac Pro so I've got a glimmer of hope they'll do some more updates in Dec. If not there's always the feedback

Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?

Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
I have a new Mac Pro with Pioneer DVD burner built in. I've since found out that it only burns Dual Layer +R type, and not the -R type.
My replication company need a Dual Layer -R type DVD as they can't get a glass-master off the +R type Dual Layer discs.
Can anyone recommend/suggest a cheap way of being able to either master off a DVD to Dual Layer -R disc, or perhaps copy my Dual Layer +R to a Dual Layer -R ?
Thanks guys.

Everything I have ever read about the DVD-R DL discs says the layer break can't be chosen by the author. It is not a DVDSP issue; it is an issue with the media.
This is actually listed in the DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News on page 15:
"Using DVD-R Dual-Layer Media
If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
Since there is no current way for DVD Studio Pro to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in a warning appearing telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.
You can use DVD+R double-layer media for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project."
Can you tell us what drive you have and what firmware (revision) it is?

How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..

How to burn DVD and can i burn the same DVD later if its having any space..?

This is called sessions, but it is not recommended and has been largely abandoned by software developers. This was a good thing in the late 1990’s, when opticals discs were quite expensive, and file size quite low.
applications which reportedly may do this are
- isoBurn: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40109/isoburn
- others, I do not remember which ones, try SimpyBurns, Burn, Dragon Burn and LiquidCD, you will find all in macupdate.com, test which ones suit you.
Otherwise, I do not recommend you such time consuming and inefficient solutions, optical drives are being replaces by more capacitive, cheaper and more practical solutions, like external disks. But, if you insist, you will find what you are looking for.
