HELP!!!! Burning photos to a CD-RW

I'm trying to burn 2 photos from iPhoto to a CD to be used in the making of a Christmas gift.
I followed the Export method as it will require viewing by a photo processing company. However, after following instruction and dragging my two photos from the desktop to the CD icon..and clicking on File>burn disc....I noticed that my hard drive is also being burned on this disc. Why is this happening? I can click on any of the applications and they open up. As I need this gift for Christmas, I would appreciate any kind of help that anyone can give me ASAP !!
Thank you !
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Insert a blank CD. Answer the Finder prompts to prepare a name for the CD. Drag the two images to the CD icon. When the copy activity has stopped, drag the CD icon to the trash. When the CD is done, it will pop out.

Help burning photo slideshow

We have a photo slideshow we will be showing at a big family event. It is in iPhoto and needs to be burned to a dve.. We are new at this and have been told that if we don't send it to idvd and use "ken burns" effect the pictures will come out looking bad. I apologize if this isn't clear, but isnt there a way to send a photo montage with effects (that aren't ken burns) to some burning software in iLife that doesn't require "ken burns' and still will look great when played on dvd machine?
Thanks, Jim

Jim:
To burn to a DVD disk so that it can play on a TV you need iDVD. I've never used the KB effect so can't comment on it's quality once it gets to iDVD. I've always created the slideshow in iDVD, added the transitions and music there. If the effects are not motion related then using the Share->Send to iDVD should give you a pretty good final product. I suggest you give that a try and then do a Save as Disk Image. That will encode the material and save it as a disk image that can be opened and played with DVD Player before you commit to burning to a disk. If it looks good then use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to disk: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD.
I prefer creating my slideshows directly in iDVD but one downside with that is you can have only one transition per slideshow. The upside is you can add titles and/or comments to all or just selected slides.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using? Are you able to burn a CD?
It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive. Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X. Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc. I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive. However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive. How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

What kind of DVD disk do you want to create? A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set. They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
For a data disk:
1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu. Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
For a video DVD disk:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. 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.
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.

Problem with burning photo to a disk on MacBook Pro.

I am not able to burn photos from my iPhoto album onto a blank disk. Please someone helps!

I did find the information listed and I tried that. I t worked! Thank you for responding so quickly. What I did was to send photos to finder and burned them to a disk, and that worked perfectly. I am still learning the process. I never had any problems on my old Apple computer.

Can't burn photos to DVD+RW on my hp Pavilion 6000 ( drive is hp DVD A DH16A BLH )

I cant burn photos to a DVD+RW. I'm using Verbatim DVD+RW discs. When I try to burn the photos I get the message "please insert a writable/recordable disc ". I can burn the pics onto a CD but I want to make DVD's too !
Please help ! I'm not that technically minded so please bear that in mind when replying
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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?

How do I burn photos to a CD/DVD in Elements 10?

I have Elements 8 and burning photos to a CD/DVD is very easy to do. I am helping someone who just bought a new computer and Elements 10 is on it. I tried on her version, but I couln't find how to do it. I couldn't even find a video tutorial on how to do it in Elements 10. She has not created an account yet - could that prevent access to the Adobe TV tutorials. I have had my version for two years and I forgot how I set it up.
Thanks for the help.

What kind of CD/DVD do you want to make? Just a data disc with photos on it? Open photos, then Editor>Share>More Options works for both macs and windows computers. In windows you can use File>Export in the organizer, too, or File>copy/move.
The tutorials that used to need the inspiration browser are now at tv.adobe.com. Anyone can watch them.

How do I save/burn photos with their intended orientation

When I upload photos they display with the proper orientation ie: landscape or portrait. When I burn photos or load them to a web site they all transfer in landscape format. I am using a canon program to upload and it is supposed to auto orient the images. Is the Mac by passing this? Is there a simple setting I need to change?
I am new to Mac and I find this very frustrating as my customers will not be happy having to look at hundreds of photographs sideways. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You may have to use an image editor software for either singular or batch correction of the rotation, where you would 'save' or 'save as' to assure a corrected file reflecting this rotational change is permanently retained.
Some time ago, I refused to further use camera maker image editing software; perhaps as long ago as Jag 10.2. There were other options in OS 9.2.2 & Before, which worked wonderfully and still do.
For OS X minor edits, I've used a third-party freeware and the author has made several revisions available, I've found it helpful, yet have barely used only a small fraction of the tools I see built in.
•ToyViewer for OS X: (freeware)
http://homepage.mac.com/t_ogihara/software/OSX/toyv-eng.html
There are other image editors, to include the OS X's own Preview app; perhaps it may be adequate. In some older Preview versions, the rotation tool failed to function, so that enforced my idea of using ToyViewer. Retail image editors and upscale software offer more detailed control over images, or similar controls, at a price.
With the idea of minimalistic and realistic photography, I've never had a desire to photoshop anything... One could take a terrible 'image capture' and after hours at a workstation, create a masterpiece of fiction. My background is in film photography and natural outdoor environments.
The ability to do batch corrections, to say, rotate all images -90° dropped into a folder, could be done in several ways; some may include creating a script, or finding one another user has made, & apply it.
While I have a Lumix/Panasonic camera and a Nikon DSLR, I've not used either of the makers offered software to edit or manipulate images I've captured with these cameras; and prefer to attempt to most accurately or satisfactorily get the correct image at the 'time of exposure' which means I only rotate the incorrectly saved horizontals to a vertical format, with software after downloading. And no other edits.
With a long film-related photography background, nice vintage equipment and a small collection, I have doubts about digital in several capacities; however convenient and hazard-free digital imagery is in the home or office environment. The fun and alchemy is missing, and so can the honesty in the resulting product.
Good luck and happy computing!

Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greg

Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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.

Since loading Lion I can no longer burn photos form iPhoto on a dvd for archive purposes

Since loading Lion on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer burn photos form iphoto for archarving purposes. I used to load the dvd and it would showup on the screen then drag highlighted photos onto the dvd. Now, dvd only shows up sometimes and when it does, it tells me the new disk is full. How can such an easy task become obsolete with this update. I have also tried using idvd for archiving purposes but this process will only allow viewing. I want to be able to reload photos back onto the computer at a later date.

I habe the same problem and cant find a helpful post on the web!
How can i get it back to work???

How can I burn photos from an Aperture folder onto a cd?

I have searched for steps on how to burn photos onto a cd from a file in Aperture and I can't find any help. I take my photos in RAW and I upload them directly to Aperture from my camera. After making adjustments to some photos for a family member I wanted to burn the photos onto a cd but I can't find info on how to do this. I did find info on the internet on how to burn a cd from iphoto, but my photos are not in iphoto. I don't mind transferring my photos to iphoto, but I don't know how to do this. It can't be this hard to burn photos onto a cd. Can someone please help me. Thanks!

From within Aperture Export the images to a folder on the hard drive, then Finder-copy the folder to the CD/DVD, then burn the CD/DVD.

Best way to burn photo cd

Each year I burn the photos in my iphoto library on a cd, then clear them from my iMac computer, to organize and save space. What is the most efficient way to do this so that the photos are easy to see when the cd is inserted? I import about 800 photos into iphoto 2.0.1, yet many have the same file name because I erase my camera picture card often and the file numbers start back at 1 each time.
Any suggestions?
iMac DV+ Mac OS X (10.3.8)

but it takes so long to click through all of the numbered folders
to find the individual actual photos.
Before you do anything else, open iPhoto Help and search for the topic "about the iphoto library folder". Read the first line, and let it soak in for a minute. If you want iPhoto to work smoothly, the best course of action is to avoid going into the iPhoto Library folder -- it is not an ordinary Finder folder. iPhoto is perfectly capable of exporting your selected images -- there is no reason to go hunting for them in the iPhoto Library folder.
As far as your external CD burner goes... Have you tried burning CDs from within iPhoto? It was rare for the original Bondi iMacs to have an internal CD burner, but iPhoto works perfectly well with a variety of external units connected to them. Again, in iPhoto Help, search on the phrase "burning photo cds". If iPhoto doesn't recognize your CD burner, go to VersionTracker.com and download "PatchBurn" -- there is a good chance that a driver is available to fix the problem.

Burn Photos onto CD

It keeps saying unknown error when I try to burn photos onto a cd. How can I fix this?

Are you using iPhoto to do this or something else?
Are you able to burn CD for other purposes, such as making a music CD in iTunes or a data CD with the Finder?
Are you using CD-Rs or CD-RW disks?
Have you tried a different brand of CDs? Sometimes this will help.
Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

Recognizing CD's to burn photos

I am having trouble with burning cds. In fact, I am not able to put a new cd in my iMAC and burn anything. The computer is not even recognizing the cds. I had a problem prior to this issue where the cd was not recognized and I couldn't eject it. I was finally able to eject the cd while I restarting the computer. Since this incident, no blank cd is even recognized by the computer. It continues to eject the cd. I burned several cds yesterday so not for sure what went wrong. I am a photographer and have clients relying on me to get their proofs to them. Please help as it is the Christmas holidays and I am at the end of my rope with this computer.
Thanks,
USM Grad

I am having the same problem. Neither my imac or laptop will even recognize a cd if it isn't music. I am trying to burn photos and it goes all the way through the process then says the burn failed. Tried to see if they were there anyway, but neither computer recognizes the cds. And they are the same brand I have always used with these computers. This just stopped working all the sudden as if after some update, though I cannot determine exactly when it occurred.
