Creating desktop iphoto burn folder

does anyone know simple steps to take iphoto folder and create " burnfolder to desktop" by dragging?

lesameryl
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How about:
Select the pics you want to burn in the iPhoto Window
Go File -> Export and export them to a Folder on the desktop
Insert the blank disk, then drag the folder to the disk icon
Burn the Folder.

A folder called burn folder came onto my desktop but I did not create it. I removed it to trash and deleted it. Has my macbook been hacked?

A new folder came onto my desktop called burn folder but I did not create it. I put it into trash and deleted it. It says itr was created yesterday with my hotmail emial account. Does it mean my macbook pro has been hacked or has a virus?

I doubt it, a burn folder is just a temporary folder that hold aliases of the locations of files so you don't have to move the orignais.
One you burned a disk and are done, you simply trash the burn folder.
However Hotmail is a dangerous place, you REALLY should opt to use GMail. Yahoo mail is kind of safe, they had malware on the adds on their site though.
Apply your Software Update, download the free ClamXav and run a scan on your drive just to see if you have downloaded something.
Also you should consider upgrading to 10.6 as this allows you to keep using more recent versions of Flash which are more secure than 10.5 versions. Also 10.6 strips out a lot of PowerPC code your not using, makes your computer faster with video driver updates.
Also run ALL of the free OnyX's cleaning and maintainence aspects for your OS version and reboot, should clean out the caches and possible glitches this might be.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.
I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available. It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
I have never had this problem before. It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
I really appreciate it.

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

How to create burn folder for backup with 2 accounts

The are 2 accounts on my computer: mine and my wife's. I want to create a single Burn Folder with important files from both accounts. How do I do that? Thanks,
Owen

Tri-Backup, (30-day Free Trial), can get you around all of this, for one thing it'll allow you to break it up into custom size chunks to span several CDs or DVDs, then Burn those...

Burn Folder gone bizarro!

I created a Burn Folder in the MacOS 10.4.5 Finder today, with the intent of taking images from my iPhoto library and organizing a re-usable "staging area" to create CD-Rs from a catalogue of select images.
As I understand it, a Burn Folder is supposed to only contain aliases of objects you put in it. In this way, Thr Burn Folder can be re-arranged or re-used without taking up lots of space on your hard drive.
Guess what? I tried exporting images from iPhoto (5) to the Burn Folder in the Finder using the "Export" command. When I checked the Burn Folder, there were real image files there; no aliases. (To the tune of 135 MB!) Was I doing something wrong? I tried dragging select images from the iPhoto window to a new Burn Folder. Same result.

Hello Walt,
In the Panther all the files were copied inside the hard disk before actual burn. In Tiger workflow in Finder is different, aliases of the selected files are created in the burn folder. This applies to Finder but not to applications.
If you are exporting files from application they really get exported, iPhoto will write actual files to disk. You should either use iPhotos internal Burn command or export to another folder than Burn folder. Then use Finder command to collect your files for burning.

Burn Folder - What Is The Burn Folder's Proper Location?

Good morning.
This morning when I started up the computer, upon reaching the Desktop, the Burn Folder [ http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/7752/screencapturetb4.png ] was located on the Desktop.
A family member who isn't here right now was using the computer last night, so I can't ask them where they dragged the Burn Folder from.
I would like to put the Burn Folder back in its proper location, but I don't know where that is.
Could someone please find where it's located in their computer, and tell me.
Thanks.

You keep referring to "the" Burn Folder as if it is a unique object with a required location. You (or your family member) can create as many burn folders as you want, and they can be wherever you put them. If this particular burn folder is on the Desktop, it may well have been created there. You can move it wherever you want it (including the trash, if you and your family are finished with it)

Burn Folder Problems

Hi,
In the past whenever I created a new burn folder it was automatically labeled "Burn Folder". Starting today it is automatically labeled "Burn Folder.fpbf" Even when I change the name, the new name still displays the extension ".fpbf" Why?
When I attempt to burn I get a message of "Error Code 0x8002006D"
I've tried the "Finder force quit fix" which worked in the past with similar error codes, but now the problem remains.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Troy,
I think I'm OK for now. Somehow, while mucking around, I must have checked the "Show all file extensions" box in the Finder Prefs. Evidently this overrides the Get Info "Hide extension".
As for burning errors, I once again tried a force quit of the Finder and I'm back to being able to burn. Who knows?!? A bit bizarre, but things seem OK now. Thanks for your response and the link.
Cheers,
Dan

Smart folder in iphoto to burn folder on desktop

Hi.
I set up a smart folder in IPHOTO (collecting all photo's taken on a vacation) and have set up a burn folder on the desktop.
I can't figure out how to get the smart folder to the burn folder. It won't move from within Iphoto or via the finder.
Is what I want to do possible in Tiger and Iphoto?
I have a new Macbook.
thanks in advance.

If by :burn to the desktop: you mean copy, then no. You have to either select all and drag to a folder on the desktop or use the File->Export->File Export menu route.
If you want to burn directly to a disk with those images then click on the smart album and use the File->Export->File Export menu route but this time selecting the blank mounted disk on the desktop as the final destination.
Do you Twango?

Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There's only one way to do it.
iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto. Every time I try to export to iPhoto slideshow folder, it freezes. Help!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Have created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto, but every time that I try to export it to an iPhoto slideshow folder, it gets halfway through and freezes. This has been going on for a couple of days. I've tried opening iPhoto holding down the option key, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice, please?

Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
There are two libraries where this plugin might be
HD/ Library
and
HD/Users/Your Name / Library
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder. I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

I transferred photos from my camera to burn folder on my macbook Pro. Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD? A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2. A program like iDVD will do this. There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use. It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD. It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation. It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player. Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos. HTH.

Mac OS X 10.6.8; iPhoto- photos to 'burn folder'; press 'burn' symbol. This window appears: 'Burn - The disc can't be burned, bcause the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media'; what to do next to address this?-

That's a hardware issue and I'd ask on the forum for whatever Mac you have.
