Copying dvd of photos  to mac

i have a dvd of photos which my friend compiled for me which when i put in my mac comes up as a slide show.However there are 800 photos and I want to make some smaller files so I dont have to look at them all at the same time. Is there anyway I can copy them on to my mac and make other files from there. and yes I am new to this!

Hi shelinacr2
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can copy the CD into a New Folder or Folders on your Desktop, but if you start doing that with everything it will make for a real messy desktop that is unorganized and hard to find stuff on.
Normally I import all photos from +(digital cameras, other drives and CD's from film developers)+ straight into iPhoto, then organize and manage them into New Folders, New Albums and Slideshows inside of iPhoto.
iPhoto Support > http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/
Open iPhoto and select File > Import to Library, then import the photos from the DVD by Files, Folders, All or by selecting what you want.

  • Burning a dvd of photos compatible with pc and mac

    I don't know if this is the correct forum or not.... can someone direct me on how to burn a dvd of pics and videos that is compatible with both a pc and a mac. i exported the photos to a folder on my desktop and have tried to burn with finder, and when i try the disk in a pc there are no thumbnails, nor does the pc have the capability of opening the photos. help!

    I am also having this problem. I have a dvd of jpeg's burnt on a mac that I received from my photographer. I can open the disc on my mac, and have copied it using disc utility, but can play neither the original or the copied dvd on my husbands pc (using sony DVD+R). Windows says the dvd is blank and asks if I want to format it. I have the same problem with DVD's of data burnt on friends macbook pro, none are recognised as having any data on them by my husbands dell laptop running windows xp.
    Would love a solution to this problem, as 1 year ago I could burn data DVD's from this same computer and play them on that same pc.

  • 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 cannot sync all my photos from mac to iPhone. The sync finishes before all photos are copied to The iPhone so in my iPhone I have albums with less photos than Mac! I select The album that I want to sync on The iPhone on iTunes but the syncronization finishes before all the photos of the selected albums are copied on The phone.

    You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

  • Is it possible to create a DVD of photos that will play on a television?

    Is it possible to create a DVD of photos from iPhoto that will play on a television?

    Yes.  You'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD and an external optical drive. I suggest a 3rd party optical drive as the Apple Superdrive is limited to USB 2 which has rather slow through put.  Get one with USB 3 or FW.
    Export a slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. 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.
    Or open iDVD, select a theme, create a slideshow in iDVD and add the photos from iPhoto via the Media Browser in iDVD.
    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.
    There are simpler (in features) video DVD authoring applications available from the App Store.

  • How can I move my photos from Mac to iCloud?

    I want use my iCloud account but I don't know how can I leave my files in iCloud. I use a MacBook pro and I need leave some pictures just in iCloud...and take off from my Mac.

    iCloud is not a photo storage service and Photo Stream is a tool to share photos rather than to back them up. For the most part iCloud is about sharing your data between devices. It does have some back up features such as storing your iOS devices back up but most media should be propperly backed up using your computer's back up routines.
    In iPhoto you can send a copy of a photo to your Photo Stream by selecting it and clicking the "Share" button. Photo Stream has a 1000 photo limit and will only store them for 30 days. I have not come close to the 1000 photo limit nor have any of my photos been deleted after 30 days, but I still wouldn't use it for a back up.

  • Can anyone help me copy and paste photos from iPhoto to memory stick

  • What is the best DVD-ripping software for mac?

    what is the best DVD-ripping software for mac?

    Handbrake to copy to avi or mp4(I use it for watching my DVD's on the go, so my battery lasts for a longer time)
    I think MP4 is better quallity.
    To copy a DVD: simply use Toast (maybe withe popcorn, but I don't use it).
    But, be legal! This is a forum, and anyone can see your posts!

  • Photos for Mac - Important Library Management Question

    Hello,
    I wanted to make sure that Master files are not imported into the Library database file, as they are already organized in folder on my drive.
    So I unchecked "Copy items to the Photo Library".
    Now I did a test by importing 66 MB worth of 30 photos to a brand new Photo Library with the above option unchecked. The Photo Library database in the Finder still turned out to be 44 MB!
    After opening the folder contents in the Finder I realized that the reason is because it saves the thumbnail version of the files I imported. Even though they are obviously smaller versions of the Master File, and the Master Files are not imported. It's still 2/3 the size of the original files!
    So my total photo database is around 100 GB, if I import it all into my photo library and even if it's half the size, that's an extra 50 GB on my hard drive for thumbnails, that's just crazy.
    Is there a way to disable thumbnails from being generated at all when using Photos for Mac, or is it inevitable that even with "Copy items to the Photo Library" stays unchecked that the Photos database file is going to have a big file size because of thumbnails?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    This might be an instance for feedback in relation to 'preview' image sizes - if there were some control over size/quality the overhead could be reduced.
    Sure, but while that would reduce the storage overhead, it would increase the CPU (& probably memory, both real & virtual) overhead substantially, as well as making the app sluggish when displaying lots of images at once or scrolling through the views.
    So I think that once users tried it, they would quickly decide the tradeoffs were not worth it ... & many would complain that Apple should have done something magical to eliminate the drawbacks if that option was to be added to the app.

  • Script for automatically copying DVDs/CDs to disk on insert?

    I just started to copy about 500 Data-DVDs (and some CDs) to an external FAT32 USB-disk. I do that by dragging the mounted disk from the desktop to the drive while holding down the option-key.
    Is there a way to automate that? Would be easier if the Mac started the copying whenever a new DVD/CD is mounted on the desktop. And ejecting the disk by itself would be nice too. That way I'd be sure to notice that another copy is done and could put in the next disk ...

    Hi,
    I want to copy DVDs/CDs to a harddisk as well. But to an external USB drive.
    So, when "/dev/disk1" is my MacBooks internal optical drive, how do I address the external USB-HD?
    Apple-Script doesn't want me to use the path: "/Volumes/FILME/" ...
    You'll want to leave the superdrive path the same but change the duplicate to desktop part to your own external hd. I'm pretty sure you get it just making sure.
    Applescript doesn't mind the path you chose just the UNIX style slash format oppose to mac colon delimintated. Try this
    (/Volumes/FILME/...) as POSIX path
    --or

  • Can't copy dvd's

    I want to copy dvds, mostly my own which includes dvd copies of VHS movies I wrote as well as home dvds. I tested DVD-Cloner based on reviews but it seems to only copy dvds it wants to and others it won't. There's no pattern and their support said "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't." Any suggestions appreciated...why won't it work on my 2011 iMac? And what does?

    What you want to do is select the files you want to move then go File>Relocate Masters. Your images will then be referenced to a location you select. Aperture will still continue to manage the images, but the external hard drive must be connected if you want to make adjustments. Aperture will retain Metadata and any adjustment information. Your original images will stay unmodified on your external drive.
