How burn DVD from iPhoto in MacBook Pro

I am trying to burn photos to a DVD . I inserted blank DVD-R, selected the photos, and selected burn from the Share drop down in iPhoto. Nothing happens.

There a few ways, but the best instructions are in the Help menu in Finder. Type Burn a CD or DVD and it has all the options (I'm not trying to be sarcastic in pointing you at the Help menu, it's just the easiest way of showing you the options , honest).

How to transfer pictures from iphoto on macbook pro to iPad. I have the transfer app on both devices.

Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes. In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

Burned DVD from iphoto but pics are black

I burned a DVD from iphoto that contained a large file of pictures. Upon opening the disk I could see the pictures. However, after scrolling through a few of them, my iphoto became extremely slow and then the pictures would not come back. Instead of seeing a picture I see a black box with a dotted frame where the picture should be.
The DVD worked when I opened APSE and I edited my pictures that way.
But why is my iphoto not cooperating with a disc that was created with iphoto?
Is it because I created the disc using an older version of iphoto?

Has something to do with me renaming the rolls of film.

How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB).
I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
Any other way to do it?
Kindly help me. Thanks.

For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:

How do I delete an album and the photos from iphoto on macbook pro

I have set up several photo albums on my macbook pro while expereimenting with macro. The experiments are completed and I want to delete several entire albuns, including the name and all the photos within the album. How do I that? Thanks in advance.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

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.

Burn DVD from iPhoto

Using iDVD 7.0.4 & iPhoto 8.1.1.
Music :If I burn a DVD from an iPhoto Slideshow, will the music in the slideshow be on the DVD ?
Text Slide :I want to add one or two slides which just have some text on - probably - a black background, how can I do this ?

I like iPhoto for slideshows, and what I do is Share/Export the slideshow to full-quality, large Quicktime video, including the selected audio. This video file can be dropped into or imported into iDVD.
You can create a graphics file in Photoshop or other software and save it as a jpeg or similar format. This can be imported into iPhoto without any difficulty.

Can no longer burn DVD's on my MacBook Pro

As the title says, I can no longer burn DVD's. I can burn CD's but not DVD's. I get Sense= code errors and stuff no matter what burner I try out. It doesn't always want to read the DVD's either but ejects them one- two times before it surrenders and starts reading the disc. I've had this Mac for about 1.4 years and I haven't been sitting around every day since, slotting 30 discs in and out of it all day long, i.e the drive hasn't seen that much action to justify this problem.
It can't have anything to do with the media as I've been reading a lot about since the DVD's I try to use have worked perfectly fine before this problem popped up. And I find it hard to believe that my $3200 Mac aint equipped to burn these things and especially not since it was able to earlier. It stopped burning about 2-3 months ago so my guesstimate is that one update or the other from Apple screwed things up but I have no idea how to find out what that might be or more to the point how to solve it.
So, since I strongly disbelieve the media factor ( I have tried different brands and that if it would only be able to burn Verbatim discs then that would be ridiculous ) I wonder if there's any real solution to this. Any firmware to be found for it or some such? I've tried to browse around the Downloads section but can't seem to find anything that addresses this issue. I've also googled quite a bit about it and I've found many others who experience the same problem(s) but never any real solution for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A lot of folks have found that running a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through can often fix this sort of calibration and sensor problem, it only takes a small spec of dirt or dust to cause errors ...

May I know how to update preinstalled iPhoto in MacBook Pro?I was not given the password which was required for updating.

I need to update my preinstalled iPhoto in my MacBook Pro, how ever i was not issued with the password needed for updating.

AppStore software and the free iLife included on new Mac's is copy protected and can only be updated or reinstalled (free) by the original owner.
If you bought the machine used or a "open box", the original owner should have wiped the Macintosh HD partition and just reinstalled OS X, but many don't do that or what occurs is the store reinstalls OS X free and then free iLife using their AppleID.
So when it comes time to update it, you can't because you have a different AppleID and password.
It's terrible hassle with all this mega-copy protection shenanigans because it allows someone to sell you a used Mac with tons of software for more money you later can't update for security issues and compatibly with newer OS X versions.
So you can either to choose to use it as is, or wipe and reinstall OS X and then buy a copy of the software, then it will be in your name.

Burned DVD works on 1 Macbook pro, says it is blank on other

I have 2 macbook pros, same exact set-ups. 10.6.8 OS and all same hardware.
I have a DVD from a photographer that I put in one mac book and it worked fine.
I put the dvd in to the other mac book pro and it says that the disc is blank.
Any advice appreciated.

Yes, it is encrypted.
Not WEP encrypted correct? Mac's might not be connecting to this standard.
WPA and WPA2(AES) is fine for connections, just that WPA is also cracked,
so WPA2(AES) is really the only secure standard now (with a long random password)
WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots

Moving photos from iPhoto in macbook pro to new iMac

We recently got a new iMac. Pumped to move photos from 13" Macbook Pro to huge iMac, right? Well this has been quite a crazy effort! So far, here is what I have tried unsuccessfully:
1) Moving iPhoto library (from the icon) to external hard drive and then moving that file onto the computer. I cannot get it to move from the hard drive into my photo folder on the iMac. I tried to just click it and upload the pictures but then only about half of a size of each photo shows up and is really screwed up.
2) Tried by bluetooth (93gb). Just froze up the Macbook Pro program trying to do that.
3) Tried sharing wireless connection
4) Tried hooking up an ethernet cord between the two.
What I run into over and over is that I cannot click and drag the iPhoto Library icon over to my iMac.
So any ideas? Initially did all photo files over but it made two and three copies of each of them and my research of this has said to use the iPhoto Library icon.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I may have just figured out part of the problem. I was having trouble dragging files and discovered others were having the same problems through these forums. Restarted the computer and bam...I can drag the file now! Thought I was going to go crazy. We'll see if this works ultimately.
Thanks Larry

Burn DVD from IPhoto slideshow

I read an earlier discussion on this topic but it made the process of burning a DVD from an IPhoto slideshow (with ITunes music track) almost impossible. I did try bringing the show into IDVD but the "formatting" of the "shows" you can choose from aren't appealing. Is there an easy way to do this?

I found it easier to create and burn DVD slide shows from within iDVD, but before creating the slide show, I read the instructions provided by the iDVD "Help" menu. I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember dragging a folder with the pictures into the iDVD window first. I duplicated the folder and saved to the Desktop first, since I had to use Elements to enhance the photos before creating the slide show. By duplicating or creating a copy of the folder with the photos, I did not change iPhoto's folder structure.
You will find the instructions on iDVD's help, under "Getting Started," page 29. Preview will launch to show you all you need to know. However, since I could not copy and paste the text on Preview, I printed just page (29) with the instructions.

How burn DVD from .mov

I would like to burn a DVD direct from a Quick Time movie that I created in iMovie, without going through the iDVD process of creating a project, selecting a theme, etc. The movie is in .mov format. Is there a way to do this? I simply want to burn the .mov to a DVD so that it will play on a DVD player. Thank you.
NJZ

You can use iDVD to auto-play a movie, such that the Theme never appears. Open a new project in iDVD and click on the Map View icon. Drag the QuickTime movie onto the first box. Click on the box so that it is highlighted, then go to the menu and select Advanced>Loop Movie.
Once you've burnt the DVD, it will play automatically when inserted into a DVD Player, with no menu or Theme appearing. Also, when the movie finishes playing it will start again. Click Stop on the DVD remote to cancel playback.

Mac mini user. LaCie burner. How burn DVD from slideshow made on mac

Have burned a slideshow before but have forgotten just how. Can't get the LaCie to burn the DVD disc. UsingDVD+R double layer Memorex. Help.

I go to finder, pictures, I Photo slideshow folder, Choose slideshow, right click on mouse to "Burn", click and the indication is it is writing, finishing, verifying. I put the disc on our player at the TV and it says "disc not recognizable" The disc has been incised, so something is happening.No pictures are visible. I have tried 3 times to no avail.
I have made this slide show a few months ago of pictures on a trip. It is 1200 images, so quite large. I misplaced the disc and really am miffed at not being able to reburn it.
