I have some photos burned to CD in 2003.  Ending up with multiples

I burned originals with a Mac G4 and my new 27 in imac will not read them. I can read them on an older 24in imac and I want to move all from old CDs to new computer. When I burn a new CD from the 24i,which I can then load onto the 27in I end up with multiple copies of most but not all files. This makes an already cumbersom process very time consuming. The do not import duplicates does not work as the second and third copy of a file has a different "name" ie 1344 vs 1344-2.
Why is ths happening and is there any way to avoid it? Thank you for your time.

How did you burn the disk originally?  Did you use the Share ➙ Burn menu option in iPhoto?  If so that creates a mini library on the CD or DVD which can only be read by iPhoto.
It should, when inserted into the optical drive, show up inh the left hand pane of the iPhoto Library window like this:
Did you burn the disk like I mentioned above and if so are you not able to view the disk as in the screenshot?  If  it's yes to both questions then just drag the Events under the Disk icon onto the Events icon at the top to import the original and modified files along with keywords and titles.
If it's not as above describe how you burned the disk and how you try to import the photos.
Do not try to import the entire mini library into your library. That just creates duplicates and imports thumbnails as originals.

  • Have some photos I am unable to delete

    I have some photos I am trying to delete but I am not getting the option to delete.

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • I have some photos in i photo that come up with a black ! when I try to open them. What is the problem ?

    I have some photos in i photo that come up with a black ! when I try to open them. What is the problem ?

    It means that iPhoto can't find the file.
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?

  • I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

    I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

    It's a complex project and there are a lot of possibilities. Among them is the length; there are a number of reports of projects that are approaching 2 hours failing to burn.
    If it's a question of jarring Create Disk into action, one thing that has worked for some users is simply to click on and the Apply button (s) in the Settings pane of the Blu Ray Share window and then hitting Cancel. This can be tested by duplicating your project and selecting a tiny section of your sequence and exporting. Change the Output Device to Hard Drive and see whether Create Disk successfully writes a disk image.
    You can also  check that a specific clip isn't rendering properly. Since the process got to 59%, it may just mean that the burn couldn't be initiated by Create Disk – or it may indicate a problem with a clip toward end of your sequence. (If you can check the log, there may be something useful in there.)
    Use the duplicated project and this time set a range for the last 30 minutes or so of the project and export it, using the Blu Ray destination. Again, set Output Device to HD and see whether it will complete.
    Good luck.

  • HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again.  How could save them onto my iMac?

    I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1).  Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad,  iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
    WHOA.
    I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
    How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
    I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
    I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
    Many thanks!

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • After downloading music and dragging into iTunes I end up with multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have the "copy files into iTunes library" checked. When I try to erase one of the copies I end up with red ! in iTunes library.

    Please Help!  After downloading an album and dragging it into itunes I end up having multiple copies of the album on my hard drive.  I do have (under Itunes preferences, advanced) copy songs into itunes library "checked".  I'm sure this is the reason for the multiple copies.  When I try to delete one of the copies of the album and go back to itunes and try playing a song, I get a red exclamtion point next to the song with an error message saying itunes cannot locate file. My questions are, Does Itunes literally make a copy of the song? If so , How do you know which file to delete?

    Sony's own entertainment software on the Vaio plays merry **** with iTunes, worse there's no telling when it will kick in.
    First head over to the Sony Vaio site and get the update for the software, that will stop it from messing with the iTunes database/library files when you connect your iPod.

    With that stopped you can add the music back without fear of this happening again.

  • I have some photos incorrectly saved as jpeg that won't open.  I was advised that If I right clicked

    I could change the file type to psd, they would open.  So far no luck.  Can anyone helf?  Carl Beason at c.beasoncomcast.net

    You can not just change the extension.  Open the file and then select "save as".
    Or did you save as psd and change extention to jpg?  If so then you can change back to psd as that is what it was saved as.

  • Hello. I have some .mov files that I am able to open with Quick time on my pc but not on my mac. I even tried downloading quick time 7 but still no progress. Is there anything else I can do?

    I can not open my.mov files on my mac. I would like too. I use to b able to look at them but for some reason i can not. I tried downloading quick time 7 but i have had no luck. Is there a way for me to open them? I just finished updating my system software so maybe that had something to do with it? Please help.

    drrbr1,
    Mavericks changed how media was handled on OS X. Apple moved away from the old Quicktime frameworks (that were started in the 80's IIRC). Now the OS uses AVFramework. It is why Quicktime X (QTX) & Quicktime 7 (QT7) can play different formats.
    QT7 used a series of codec plugins (encoder/ decoder) to add support for formats that Apple never supported (like DIVX, WMV, Ogg audio etc). Many users installed plugins like Perian to add these codecs via a simple installer. Perian may still work on QT7 apps, I haven't tested Perian on 10.10. Perian is clearly out of date & abandoned now, see perian.org or see the site of the old codec.
    AVFoundation & QTX has no ability to add extra codecs - you get support because the format is correct for AVFoundation to play, you get a dialog that converts the movie or the third option is that AVFoundation can't convert & simply chokes & doesn't allow playback.
    Apple have nothing to fix. The reason the movies don't play is because the new framework uses 64bit for everything. The older codecs are not 64bit & since Apple didn't write those codecs they won't fix them either. It may seem like I'm apologising for Apple, but it isn't entirely their fault, things move on.
    I'm afraid you need to work out what codecs you have contained in the files (.mov is just a wrapper around the data - the codec is the key to reading the data). mediainfo can help with that
    https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    It will list the details of the codecs - from there you need to find an app that will convert to a supported format.
    It sounds like you have a sound format that is not compatible with AVFoundation - that means all apps the rely on AVfoundataion no longer play those files (Finder & iMovie use AVFoundataion).

  • Why do i have a "photo library" and a "(name of album)" albums with the same pictures

    they have th same items in it, why do i have 2 instead of one?

    love everyone wrote:

    You choose (in your iTunes Library - Device/Photos) which folder to Sync with your iPod. If that folder has any sub-folders in it, then your iPod will show the Photo Library which will contain all the photos in all the sub folders. But if you want to look only at one specific folder, scroll down from Photo Library to the folder name and look in that.
    There is only one copy of each of the photos on your iPod. But, you can either browse all the photos as one "library" or you can browse just one specific folder.
    It is not an error, or an install problem.

  • Why are some photo events missing when I synch my iPad with the new iMac?

    Very confused user here.
    I've just bought the new IMac, When I connected my iPad2 to the iMac and opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked to import photos. This proceeded, but when I checked it became clear that not all the events had been imported, even though iPhoto was saying that all the photos had been imported. There doesn't appear to be any reason why certain events have been missed - no difference in title, or date. How can I make sure all the photos are imported?

    If the iPad works like the iPhone you can move photos into the Camera Roll as shown here:
    Then from there it should sync to your Mac. That's how I got the screenshot above to my iMac and into this post.
    If you have an iCloud account and Photo Stream enabled on both your iMac and iPad new photos to the Camera Roll will automatically be synced with your iMac and imported into iPhoto as long as you have the iPhoto/Photo Stream preferences set this way:
    Of course this is assuming the iPad functions similarly to the iPhone in this regard and I should think it would.

  • HT201303 hello i have some mater. one of my apple id is link with a credit card i miss placed and now i can not put in the cvv three digits number. and most of my apps i got with that ID likned with the creditcard. now i need to update my apps and am find

    pls help me update my ipad its not working fine.

    In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
    also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
    so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

  • Can I get my wife and my phones to synch to the same iMac, but have different address books - when synching we keep ending up with all the contacts on both phones...

    Can I synch 2 phones to the same iMac, but have different address books?

    If you and your wife have separate user accounts on the Mac, then each of you will have separate libraries to sync. You can them maintain separate address books, calendars, apps, etc.
