Cannot Choose DVD-RW Device to Backup Library

How can I select my DVD-writer for a Library Back up to disc?
When attempting to back up the Library, the system only selects the CD-RW device.
When I test by backing up a Playlist, I can successfully select the DVD-RW device and complete a successful burn.
The Edit-Preferences-Burning option has disappeared with Version 8.
ITunes 8.0.2.20
Vista 64
D: is CD-RW
E: is DVD-RW
Latest GEAR drivers (Nov 2008) installed and system rebooted.

This is issue was solved with a next release of iTunes.

Choosing DVD vs CD for backup????

I have two separate drives and have a blank DVD in the DVD burner yet iTunes forces my CD drive to open which is blank.
How do I force the backup to the DVD?????????

There are two ways to do that:
1 - to backup ONLY the original files in the library export them via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the following selections: Format = Original, Quality=Max and Size=full to a folder on the Desktop. Then burn the folder to a CD or DVD.
Click to view full size
2 - select enough photos in iPhoto to equal about 4 GB in size and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. That will produce a mini library on a DVD that can be read by iPhoto. The photos will include the original and edited versions and the keywords, titles and other metadata. They can be copied back to the working library by select and dragging them from the disk library to the working library.

Cannot choose desktop picture in Lion

After upgraded to Lion, I cannot choose desktop picture from the Aperture library. The Desktop system preference pane does not show the library at first on the left column. Then after severa minutes, it shows the label "Aperture", but not its contents. Then probably after a few hours, it started to show the contnts, and I could choose one of the folders, but right after I checked the change pictures box, it switched to the default picture of Lion (galaxy).

same thing happens to me. The previews were already set to always.
repairing permissions didn't work either.
Got another tip in another thread which seemedf to help:
rm Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

Cannot choose library with option key

Well, guess it's my turn...
Am afraid I've done something stupid.
At current, my most immediate problem is that I cannot choose which Library to open. Even when I press the Option key, iPhoto just opens normally without asking me which Library I want to use.
There are no more photos in it however, as I deleted those.
It's probably best if I explain how I got to this point.
I bought a 2nd hand Powerbook a few weeks ago (PB 12", 768MbRAM, 60GB, cd burner, dvd reader)
Wanted to re install OS as it was 2ndhand and have everything 'new'.
However, by the time I could do this, I had already imported quite a lot of photos and keyworded them. So as part of my backup before Erase&Install, I burnt all these to cd, which came to 3 CD's.
Upon completion of new install, I tried to re import photos. Got the photos double in the library and with no key words. Decided to empty it again and look into a solution later. When checking, when I opened iPhoto from the CD, the key words were there, no problem.
As did not have access with my PB to Internet lately, this took some time.
In the meantime I had to empty my camera (Canon powershot sd100) and therefore down loaded those.
Almost forgot this until I yesterday I finally got round it.
After searching on the discussions, found something similar and tried that: insert CD and then drag the Library to the desk top, with the aim of joining them together there.
It told me there already was a Library (this was the one with the last batch from the camera).
Then burnt these pics/ library as well, with the following result: mixed up key words - its only a few dozen pics though, so this is not a major problem, can reassign key words easily (btw, have delivered a bug report Old Toad :))
When trying to copy Library nr 1 from the discs, it told me "A newer item named 'iPhoto Library" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you are moving?" STOP REPLACE
As I have the new pics that are in there on CD, choose replace.
When finished copying, opened iPhoto with this library (Library 1) with the
option key, and found out the following:
have in the meantime upgrade iPhoto with a newer version...
when I then say yes, upgrade all pics come in nicely, but without the key words... checked, there are no key words on this CD either, so that's normal.
So, went on with 2nd disc (which HAS the key words on the CD).
Had to rename the first one I dragged in, done.
Then just before this 2nd disc finished copying, it tells me 'The operation cannot be completed because an item with the name dir.data already exists.'
Clicked ok, let it finish, then deleted this Library nr 2 again, moved Library nr 1 to a different folder and then repeated dragging Library 2 to the desk top.
No problems this time.
Opened iPhoto with the option key, checked Library No 2, shows ok, including the key words.
Checked back with opening Library no 1. Fine. Then moved and renamed Library no 2 in preparation for dragging disc 3 to the desk top.
After some thought, realised I didn't know how to join the 4 libraries I had by now. Seen how Library no 1 did not have key words, figured I could open with No2, then simply import No1 into no2.
However, could not get No2 to open again.
I now know this is because I renamed and moved it after having opened already another library, but last night I didn't.
Tried to use option key while opening, but this didn't work, it did not ask me to choose a Library, but just opened with No1!
To try to solve it, tried deleting No1 from Finder, then from Library in iPhoto, even emptied the Trash (I felt secure because I have it all on CD).
Then I tried again to open Library No2 while using the Option key when opening iPhoto. No chance to choose library again.
It just opens, shows "loading photos" and then comes up with a black screen.
Tried to delete iPhoto and re install it.
No difference. The new install even has the key words I created in it ea

Hi Marlies,
So basically what you have are 4 libraries with different names all in the Pictures folder.
You want to join the libraries to create one library.
Problem: iPhoto is being a jerk and not letting you choose a library, even after you have chose each of the libraries before and they all worked.
Possible solution: Delete the Preference file and try again
Preference file
Possible solution: Download iPhoto Library Manager to mage the 4 libraries or even merge them
iPhoto Library Manager
iPhoto Library Manager documentation
this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
You can also try iPhoto Buddy
Possible solution: You can open one library and then use the menu command "add to library" .
So you open one library, then use the "add to library" command and then navigate to one of the libraries and choose it. Do this for each of the libraries. What will happen when you do this is outlined on Page 2

HT1449 This was somewhat informative, but what happens after you receive the "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library,"? I ran through all the steps, received this message. Now

tried to move my itunes library to an external to free up space and run itunes off of an external. Went through all the steps. Received the message "The folder containing "iTunes Library" cannot be found, and is required. Please choose or create a new iTunes library," like it mentioned I might, and here is where the instructions end. Now what?

Cannot import Backup Library onto new computer

My computer recently crashed, but I saved my backup library to disk before it crashed. I purchased a new computer which has Windows Vista and downloaded the new Itunes to my computer. For some reason, I cannot import the old library. Is there something I need to do to get my library to open on my new computer?

Hi eagles2008
Not really sure i remember when i was moving librarys i couldn't just drag the whole library in. i had to select everything in a folder and then drag that in. Try importing one song a see if it works.
Try putting it in a folder and selecting 'import folder into library' or drag it in.
do the files work and is your library on your ipod. (if so it makes it alot easier).
If the files work try clicking on them and see if they go to itunes.

When trying to restore an iCloud backup, I receive the error message "Appe-ID cannot be created. invalid device while updating mme delegate account".

After a complete crash of my iPad 3 (WIFI only) because of updating to iOS 7.03, I try to restore my config from iCloud.
I managed to get into the settings assistant and enter my Apple-ID (which is valid as checked via iTunes).
But then I see the error message "Apple ID cannot be created - invalid device while upgrading mme delegate account".
I have no clue what the mme delegate account is but need my data back.
Any suggestions?

All you need to do is restore the iphone in itunes as new
and then set up as new
after this is done
then you can restore from itunes back up with out any error!!

Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
Thanks.

HI roger,
Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

While sync my Ipad 1 I got the following message:The ipad "untitled playlist" cannot be synced.The device is not connected. What could I do besides restoring?

While sync my Ipad 1 I got the following message:The ipad "untitled playlist" cannot be synced.The device is not connected. What could I do besides restoring?

" I get told that my ipad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library! "
Ok. Choose less to sync to your ipad.
"Also very puzzled about icloud! "
What is the confusion?

Backup Library using external hardrive?!

I understand that I can use a DVD or CD to backup my Library but is there an easier way to back up my library using an external hardrive other than individually moving all 2000 of my mp3s??

If you go into the My Music folder, there will be an iTunes folder. Inside that folder is all of the information for playlists, all of the songs, etc. You can copy and paste that if you want.
If you're looking to run all of the songs in iTunes off of the external HD, go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced, and change the iTunes music folder to a folder on the external HD. Now, go along the top of iTunes and choose Advanced>Consolidate library. That will copy everything to the external HD, and will make iTunes run off of the external HD. I don't usually recommend this option if you're just wanting to back up your content.

CD/DVDW SN-S082D issue - Windows cannot start this hardware device Code 19

I've had my laptop for a little over a year now and it's had it's fair share of problems, most of which are fixable or there is a workaround.
Earlier today I inserted a disc into the drive and tried opening it up, went into "My Computer" and found the disc drive was not listed.
This has happened once or twice before and a simple restart fixes the problem.
I've restarted twice and this time the problem wasn't fixed, after going into "Device Manager" I found there was a problem with the device and it gave me the following error
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
As usual 'Check for soulutions' is useless and returned no results.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

First of all I wonder why you post this here in the Toshiba forum if you dont have a Toshiba notebook
This is a little bit strange for me... anyway I will try to help you.
It seems that the registry keys are corrupt and therefore your CD/DVD drive cannot work properly.
Try simply the solution proposal mentioned here in the Microsoft doc:
