I want to burn a cd of pictures from my mac but do not have a cd drive

I took 268 pictures with my DSLR camera at a family gathering. Uploaded all to iPhoto and deleted from my camera. Now everyone wants copies.
Can I hook up an external dvd drive to the back of the iMac to burn photos to a cd/dvd?
Do I need any special app or software to facilitate the process?

Yes, you can hook up an external CD/DVD burner. The Apple USB Superdrive would be perfect.
If all you are doing is burning files (photos) to a CD, you don't need any special software. Just insert a blank CD, then use the Finder to drag the files (photos) to the CD. When you are done copying photos to the CD, drag the CD icon to the Trash to burn the CD.
In the future, if you want to burn audio CDs, use iTunes. To burn DVD videos, however, you will need software such as iDVD, Roxio Toast, etc.

HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

Here's a free non-Adobe solution as well. It's definitely got a steep learning curve compared to Encore, but from my understanding so far, it may also be more capable. (And it's still being developed, unlike Encore which is dead software.)

I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud. Then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?

I want to move pictures from my mac to iCloud.com, then I want to erase those pictures from my mac and leave them only in iCloud.. Can I do it?? It looks like it's not possible because if I erase the picture from my mac, then they'll be erased automatically in my iCloud account too!!

If you are using iCloud Photo Library and delete them from any device they will be deleted from iCloud and from all devices using iCloud Photo Library. If you want to reduce the storage space required on your Mac the following quote from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support may help:
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

How do I download pictures from my Mac to a sd card?

How do I dowload pictures from my Mac to an SD Card

Where are the pictures - in iPhoto? If so, put the SD card in the drive and then in iPhoto select the pictures you want on the SD card and choose File>Export. Navigate to the SD card and save them there.
If the pictures are just in a folder on your Mac, put the SD card in the drive and drag the folder with the pics on the Mac onto the SD icon on your desktop.
(If SD card doesn't appear on your Desktop check Finder>Preferences, General & Sidebar tabs to make sure the option to show it is ticked).

How do i load pictures from my mac to a sd card?

how do i load pictures from my mac to a sd card? I loaded my dad's old slides to my computer , edited them, now I want to load on a SD card for a digital picture frame. Lost.

FAT is not an image format. It's a volume format. It sounds like your images are in iPhoto. Export them as JPEG to the Desktop, then drag them to the card in the Finder. If that doesn't work, the card is either locked or corrupt. Look for a lock switch on the side.

HT204380 i have a mac book pro and a i-pad 2. both of the devices have the same apple id and same mailing adress. if i want to make a face-time call from my mac book to i-pad 2. how can i do that?

You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.

Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...
