Cannot back up my pics to DVD??
Hi,
Hope you can help.
I select all my pics, click file and then burn to cd.
I select my DVD drive from the drop down menu.
On the top left of the window it states "free space available on disk 8 457mb"??
When I insert a DVD into my drive (4.7gb) and click burn to cd it states the cd inserted has approx 384mb of recordable capacity available and I'll need 14cd's!!!
How can this be when I'm using a 4.7gb DVD+RW???
Your help is apriciated!!
Hi Michael,
Have you tried other DVD? I mean is it saying so for all the Cd DVDs.

Backing up files onto a DVD+RW disc
I have backed up files onto a DVD+RW disc from my Mac. However, when I go back to do another update, I get the message that I can't copy file because the disc is a read-only. Why do I get this message?
It's foolish to backup to a CD or DVD, get yourself an External HD (they're relatively inexpensive) and use Time Machine. Please get one that is 1.5 to 2x the size of your internal HD. If you don't know how to use TM then simply look on YouTube and search for "Time Machine Tutorial" and you will find many videos.
The reason you get the error message is because writeable CD & DVDs can only be written to once, you cannot go back and add information. This make the practice silly and ineffective for backups. -
Someone stole my ipod touch and i dont know how to get to my pictures on my windows computer. i did back up my pics to icloud. and, will Apple give me another ipod? i am so sad.
Hello Becky,
Have you double checked to make sure it hasn't been moved to a different page or folder? Double check your iPod's Restrictions as well to make sure it hasn't been disabled. To do this, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Default Apps that came with your iPod or Apple's iOS cannot be removed.

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.
It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I have an online etsy shop. There is a page on which to list a new item to be added to one's shop. When it is time to upload the pic or pics, I cannot find them,eventhough each has a name and all are in an i photo album. On my old computer I would "save as" and then could find it easily in my computer. In the new mac I just got, I cannot easily find the pic when trying to upload. Could you tell me an easy way to save each pic so that I can find it for uploads to that site? Thanks in advance. OS is Snow Leopard. Whatever i photo came with that would be the product I am using.
The following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto. It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3.Show File:
a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. -

The iPad keeps telling me that there is no more room to backup. I have deleted almost everything from my iPad and yet I still get the same message.....cannot back up. I do NOT want to purchase more G's as I regularly download all important photos, videos, notes and such onto my iMac. I would like to keep to the free 5 G's iCloud space. Shall I also delete apps that I don't use much, magazines even though there are not any active issue on my iPad?
Thanks for any help you can give.No, you did not have to delete anything.
You don't understand how iCloud works
ICloud does NOT backup anything purchased from iTunes (music, apps, movies, podcasts)
ICloud only backs up your personal data.
Camera roll, contacts, documents, app data and personal information and settings
This is how your manage your iCloud account:
1. Transfer your pictures and video from camera roll to your computer, Dropbox, or Box for iOS . These are free apps for iPad and Mac and provide online storage for your photos and documents.
Once your pictures are safely stored.....
2. Go to settings
iCloud
Storage and backup
Manage storage
(Choose your device if you have more than one)
Show all apps
Now go down the list and turn off switch for camera roll and any other app that you do not need to save data for.
Apps are listed with the largest first.
If you have several devices sharing iCloud (as I do) you may want to only backup the important device and important app data. -

I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
Please help!!Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.
Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup -

PLEASE HELP ME> When i log in bios hdd was detected but not available in boot priority menu. Just network adapter was there & now i cannot boot from hdd nither cd/dvd.
Does this means that neither HDD nor CD/DVD drive appears in the BIOS boot option?
Strange what notebook model do you have?
Did you try to set BIOS to default?
If not do this (press F9 and save the changes in BIOS) -
Both my ipad and iphone say that they cannot back up to icloud because my storage is full. When I try to access icloud online on my PC I only see a few icons. (Contacts, numbers, pages and email) I do not see any pictures, messages or anything else that I have on my devices. How can I access pictures and other data? And how can I delete from icloud to create more room?
Thanks for any help.You can access your iCloud storage to make more room at:
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage
You cannot manipulate the contents of iCloud backups except by restoring the backup to a device. But you can use the Manage Storage method to see what objects you can manipulate. -
my ipod is telling me there is not enough storage and I cannot back it up as there is not enough icloud storage. I am unable to close the message or go onto settings.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then delete some stuff -
