IPhoto 6.0.6 update won't let me burn DVDs correctly

I was backing up my photos to DVD today via iPhoto. I burned one disc before I did the 10.4.9 update and it worked fine. After I downloaded and installed the 10.4.9 & iPhoto updates I go to burn a disc and it says the Burn Failed. So, I put in the disc again. Mac OS X saw it was a blank DVD so I tried again. Still! - it won't burn!
So I try another blank DVD, and then another - each time the disc is inserted it's seen as a blank DVD. I don't understand it. It's the same brand I used before the 10.4.9 update & iPhoto and now suddenly Im having problems.
I'm guessing one of the updates (or both of them) changed something. Because now I can't backup my photos to a DVD. I tried repairing permissions and even restarting my iMac. Is anybody else having the same problem?
I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 and iPhoto version: 6.0.6 (322)
Here are screenshots of the different errors I get, first the one, then the other.

Any help would be wonderful, I just need to burn the last disc to complete my iPhoto backup.

Ok big update. I burned another album using iPhoto and it worked fine. Seems that this problem is not isolated to burning discs, it's isolated to copying these files all together. Something is fishy and I have no idea what's wrong.
I attempted to copy all of the 4,000 (from the album I wanted to burn originally) or so photos to my external Hard Drive. It was about to copy them when I get an error message saying "IM000914_1.JPG" is busy. That's it - it doesn't give me any options, but "OK" I click OK and the process stops. So I remove the file in question. I go to copy the photos again, bam! Another problem with a different file name. I can't understand what's going on. So at this point I re-built the Library and Thumbnail caches again. I try it again - same problem.
The similarities between the files are interesting. All were taken around 2004 and were transfered from my old iBook a while ago. They usually have a filter or were modified from the original. And all of the file names end with an underscore and a number, for example "_1.jpg" or "_2.jpg". There are no other programs that are using these file so this puzzles me why they would be in use.
If I try and copy the individual file that's "busy" it will copy fine. But if I select it as a group and try and copy, it gives me an error message and fails to copy. I wish there was a way to locate which out of the 4,000 + files are bad, but the album I have is mixed with photos from 2004 to 2005. It would be impossible to locate all of them by hand. I'm thinking maybe if I can somehow copy the files from the select album via FireWire Target disk mode maybe the files wouldn't be "In use" - but I can't think of a way to select all of the photos in the album out of iPhoto.
I'm confused and frustrated with this one, any help would be great.
The exact error message reads "The selected items cannot all be put into the same location, because at least one of them named "<filename>" is busy. [OK]
Thanks again!

DVD Studio Pro 2 Won't let me burn DVDs

I've finished my project and it looks good. I even ran it through the simulator and everything checks out. However, when I go to burn it to DVD (4.7 GB), I get a dialog box that says that I need to insert a DVD, even though one is already in. Then I get another dialog box that tells me that the disc could not be burned because the drive could not be located...? Each time I attempt to burn the DVD, the disc gets automatically ejected by my computer when these dialog boxes pop up
How do I locate a drive that I can burn the disc in? What's the process for this? Is there another step that I must take before I can get to this process. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 2 and I have a mac mini with a superdrive. Please walk me through the process step-by-step. Thanks.

New iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. Help?

The new iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. I've never had this problem with Apple before. I've always had the ability to restrict the iTunes store, and anything else I needed to restrict. I'm not a religous nut, I just don't want my kids looking at some of that stuff. I'm really disappointed with this feature. If anybody has any help I would appreciate it! Switching music to clean only blocks music, not album covers and artist pictures. I've always loved the parent friendly features of Apple. I hope they fix this soon! My family loves Apple, and I don't want to have to switch!

Hi. Yes I've looked all through restrictions and there is nothing that will block it. This is weird. Apple usually always thinks of this stuff. Usually they provide ways to both choose a parental level or block it from being used all together. I can't do either. On some of my devices I want to restrict what I'm seeing/hearing from iTunes radio but on some I want to block it all together. I've been all through restrictions and there is no option for either.

Why will it not let you add them? What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer. There is no reason to add or import anything.

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

My iPhoto "share" drop down menu no longer has the burn dvd option. What do I do?

That feature was dropped with iPhoto 9. Select the photos you want to burn to disk, export to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu, insert a blank disk in the optical dirive, drag the folder onto the disk icon and drag it to the Trash bin to burm.

Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.
Downloads
Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

Updater won't let me update

i need to update my mini but it won't let me choose update i tried changing the sysinfo but that didnt work i need help

The reason I asked why you needed to update the iPod as the usual reason for the update option to be "greyed out" and not selectable is because the iPod already has the current software installed.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

Itunes 7.6 won't let me burn CDs

I just updated iTunes to version 7.6 yesterday. Immediately following this, i tried to burn a CD. It won't recognize any CD as being blank. It says "checking media" at the top of the iTunes window and then it spits the CD back out telling me to insert a blank disk. I have never had a problem with a previous version of iTunes doing this. Has anyone else had this problem?
I also decided to try downloading iTunes 7.5 to go back to a version that worked, but Apple built into the software some stupid thing that won't let me install an older version. The point of me buying a Mac was to avoid stuff like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK -- I've put at least 2 hours into fixing this on my machine, and hopefully I can save you the trouble with my story. And if you don't even want to hear the story, skip down to where I've typed "BOTTOM LINE" in all caps. Go ahead, I won't be hurting deep down inside (o.k. maybe a little).
(As a side note, Apple's tech support is 1-800-APL-CARE... and the front line of defense for them is designed to deal with people who need explanation of what's an mp3 [sarcasm mine], so you might want to get passed up the ladder right away. The next line of experts is actually, well, expert.)
I had the exact same issue -- same discs that worked prior to upgrading, now don't. I'm trying to burn a playlist of ONLY iTunes purchased music. I click "Burn Disc", it ejects my blank disc, and tells me to insert a blank disc.
So I think, great, just great (CRAP!) maybe I can turn back the clock - I go to Windows's "System Restore" feature. The idea is to revert everything back to what it was before I upgraded the iTunes software. (on my machine, it's START-MENU > ALL PROGRAMS > SYSTEM TOOLS > System Restore)
I do - and go to launch the old iTunes - the old version before I upgraded the software. It won't launch, because iTunes_Library.itl was created using a later version. Basically, Apple in its imperial wisdom has burned my bridges for me!
This step may be inconsequential, but I'll include it anyway: thinking if I removed the file from the iTunes folder the older iTunes could launch, I do so. I copy "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" to a different drive, then delete them. And then, but I get the same can't-launch-because-of-library error, I copy them right back. (who knows, maybe that was important)
Eh. At this point is when I start calling tech support, getting put on hold, having to repeat that the problem is not the blank discs, is not the playlist, etc.
But in the meantime I decide that this old version of iTunes is worthless to me now, so I might as well run the iTunesSetup file again (the one I "saved to disk" when upgrading). I do run it, it runs, and by now I'm back on the phone with one of the actual experts.
I walk him through my problem - but now it isn't a problem. I get a new and different error message: I'm not authorized to burn these songs. Which means I just need to authorize the computer, which iTunes prompts me to do, which then lets me play, burn, basically if you can get to see that, you're home free.
BOTTOM LINE
If you're having this exact problem, and running XP, you might have success IF:
(1) Run System Restore, to restore to before the iTunes upgrade
((1.5) POSSIBLY move "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" out of that folder, then back in. I did, but it seems irrelevant.)
(2) Run the iTunesSetup application again.
And at that point, if you were me, you would be back on track.
If this helps, donations in lieu of flowers to Smile Train dot org. I mean, come on, to be born funny-looking, it's just not fair.
And as long as I'm typing why not pass judgment on the individual Apple employees I spoke with...
JASON and JOANNE - are awesome people, and if I had a party they'd totally be invited. Nerdy-cool. You guys both rock.
ERIC was a schmuck who seemed incapable of understanding my problem, making me repeat myself slow and loud, because maybe he's hard of hearing. Schmuck for putting me on hold for a half-hour then dumping the call (intentional?) and killing off my willingness to give Apple thousands of dollars over the course of my life.
CHRIS seemed like a good guy, not hugely helpful to tell me I'm 440 days out of warranty when my problem has already been accepted, but was able to pull through and put me to the second cool person I spoke with.
DONNA is just too nice to be condemned to deal with people's phone-in frustrated problems. Great for that reason, so nice, may she not go crazy on account of work.
That's it, good luck.

Won't let me burn more than 90mb to a cd???

Yesterday something odd happened, I went to write a CD with my mac mini internal writer. All of a sudden it won't let me put more than 90mb onto a cd.
We had changed the make of cd's we use so I thought it may be that, I found on old cd (that already had a small session written to it) and tried that. Again it said I could only put 90mb onto the cd... BUT it actually let me write 200+mb onto it. The blank Cd's won't let me do that, they say not enough room etc.
Anyone have any ideas????
I'm using toast 7, on system 10.3.9.
The cd's i'm using are Imation CD-R 800mb Multispeed (overburning)
The old ones were Imation CD-R 700mb 52x

I wouldn't be surprised if 800MB CD's don't work. I I'm correct, your drive only supports 700MB's (unless you've upgraded it with a SuperDrive. Anyway, the Imation CD-R's should work 52x should work.
Things to try
1) Go to homefolder >> Library >> Preferences. Now trash the file called "com.roxio.toast.plist. Try burning with Toast now. If it does work, you had a corrupted preference file and now the problem is solved. If it still doesn't work, proceed to step 2.
2) Instead of using Toast, use the Finder Burn option. Insert your CD-R into your drive. It'll ask you for a name, name it something and click OK. Now you should see a CD-R icon on the desktop. Drag whatever files that you wanted to burn onto the CD. Now double-click on the CD to open it. You should see all the files that you dragged onto the CD. Now, go File >> Burn Disc. It will start burning. If it works, your Toast program is corrupted, reinstall it. If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1 and proceed to step 3.
3) Use a CD/DVD Drive Lens cleaner. Costs about $10 CAN. Use the drive cleaner and try burning with Toast. If it works now, then you had a dirty lens and now it's solved. If it still doesn't work, repeat steps 1 and 2 and proceed to step 4.
4) Try different discs. Try using Maxell 700MB/80min CD-R's they work with absolutely every mac. They cost around $18 CAN for a pack of 10 w/ jewel cases. Now try burning with Toast. If it worked, your problem was bad CD's, keep using Maxell. If it didn't work, repeat steps 1, 2 , and 3. After all that, if it still doesn't work, post back for more solutions.
