How do I get "permission" to open DVD I just burned?

I want to  back up photo files from iPhoto 9.6 onto DVDs running OS 10.10.2 on an Intel iMac.  After lengthy burn time the system produces a disc which, it informs me, I do not have permission to read!  How does this happen?  How can I get permission to read my own disc?  How can I avoid this problem in the future?

I tried several things to the point where I'm not sure what all I tried that failed, but the following is an accurate description of one failure:
I located the desired iPhoto library in the Pictures folder and dragged it to and burned it onto a new DVD-R.  When it was finished, I double-clicked on the DVD Icon to open it, and then double-clicked on the iPhoto library icon that appeared, which launched IPhoto and produced the message: "The iPhoto library is on a locked volume.  Reopen iPhoto when you have read/write access..."

  • How can I get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly?

    I can not get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly. The disk pops out before it's finished, usually at the end of the multiplexing stage.  iDVD seems to think the disk is still burning for about 20 more minutes although the box says "done".  I tried it with an external DVD burner with the same result.  I'm running the latest iDVD version available on a MacBook Pro running Lion.  Any ideas out there?

    Hi
    Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
    • for SD-Video and SL-DVD - I never go under 25Gb
    • for DL-DVD I would guess that 50Gb free is safe
    • if HD-material is used (needs space to be downscaled to SD-Vide0 as this is DVD standard) - 4-5 times more

  • How do I manually delete iTunes when I want to re-install the latest program? Error says I have no permission so how can I get permission?

    How do I manually delete iTunes and all its bits prior to re-installing the version 11 when I get a message saying I don't have permission.
    I am the sole owner of my p.c. and nobody else uses it. How do I "get permission" from my own p.c.?
    The p.c. is a Dell Vostro running windows 7 (64 bit) After giving up and exiting iTunes there was an error notification saying msvcr 80 is missing from your computer...Also, when I went (blindly) to administrators etc there was a red question mark against a gobbledegook long line apart from David pc which is me. Would this be some malevelant thing? Help!

    Hi David,
    Open the start menu, then select Control Panel in the right hand column. Open the Programs and Features section, type Apple in the search box at top right. You need to uninstall the components in the order suggested in the user tip.
    Once all have been uninstalled reboot and use Windows Explorer to locate the named folders and delete them. Then reinstall.

  • I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    Dear Jean:
    It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
    Open System Preferences.
    Choose the Displays Icon
    There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
    Drag the toolbar to desired display
    Let me know if this helps at all!

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

    Are you sure you haven't upgraded Pages on your Mac to Pages 5?
    Check your Applications folder and the Applications/iWork folder. You may have 2 versions on your Mac.

  • When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

    When I click on the 'help' key in the elements 12 program it wants to open it in Firefox2. Firefox doesn't work on my Macbook Pro Air. I use Safari. How do I get it to open?

    Hmm, that is very strange. I agree with MichelB that it's probably best just to get the PDF, but you can try going to your username>library>preferences and deleting:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Repair permissions and see if that does it.

  • How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

    I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.

    Hi
    If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.
