IPhoto 6 not reading blank CD correctly

I just upgraded to iPhoto 6.06. I decided to burn 430MB of photos to a CD. iPhoto keeps telling me that the blank disk I put in doesn't have enough room to burn the photos (but I can successfully burn them if I export them full size to the desktop and have Toast 8 do the job). Something seems wrong to me.

Pamela:
When you use the Share->Burn menu option you also are burning the thumbnail files, modified files, database files and other library files. That kind of disk is usable only by Macs running iPhoto like this
So if you want to burn only the jpg files export them to a folder on the desktop and burn that folder to a CD with the Finder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IBook G4 not reading blank discs due to user ID corruption

    My iBook G4 is not reading blank discs. It reads ones with files just fine. It doesn't matter the brand or if it is CD-R or CD-RW. I realized this when I tried to save a Word document to a disc. I called the Word tech support and they said it was a corruption in my user ID. We created a test user ID and sure enough, it worked just fine. Now I need to know how to either troubleshoot my user ID so that it reads blank discs or to transfer all of my files from my current user ID to a new one. My iBook doesn't spit the disc out, it just doesn't read it. Anyone know how to fix my user ID or transfer the files? Thanks in advance for the help! It is very appreciated.

    Open the CDs & DVDs pane of System Preferences and check what the computer is set to do when a blank CD is inserted.

  • ITunes not reading ID3 tags correctly

    I have an album of mp3s, all correctly ID3 tagged (WinAMP and Windows Media Player read them fine), and when I try to add it into my iTunes library, it only add it as the filename. It does not read the artist, album, or track name from the tag.
    It is strange that it is able to read some of the id3 tags but not all.
    iTunes 6.0.4   Windows XP Pro  

    Something else on your system is probably changing the tag outside of itunes. For instance, WMP is set to get album info from the internet.
    iTunes isn't constantly scanning your library for any little tag change (a good thing, otherwise it would use 100% CPU all the time). When you go to play it or get Info, it DOES read the tag info.
    Then again, I might not understand your itunes preferences settings. I have mine set for itunes not to organize my files and not add them to the itunes library.

  • Iphoto not reading camera

    I just bought a Mac Book Air that did not have iPhoto.
    I downloaded from App store and downloaded the camera driver.
    It is stil not reading my camera.
    Can anyone help. I am hours into this and so frustrated.
    Alicia

    thank for you telling me where i could see if the camera is actually being read. i went to the system profiler and the camera is being read by the computer, i just don't know how to get iphoto to read it.
    and just to clarify, this is one of those mini digital cameras that i don't think is more than $20 or $30. i got it for christmas and just thought it would be nice to be able to attach to a keychain and use when i don't happen to have my canon on me. so, if by chance this isn't going to work and the camera needs a regualr PC or whatever it won't be the biggest deal in the world, but if it's a simple fix i'd like to get it working.
    thanks

  • Apple DVD Player software not reading SPRM 4 correctly.

    I am a DVD author and have recently run into an issue with Apple DVD Player not reading SPRM 4 (current title) correctly. I know this isn't the Apple DVD Player forum, but there doesn't seem to be one for that application, so here I am...
    I have a disc (not authored in a Mac environment) that uses the value of SPRM 4 to track the last title played, and if it happens to equal the value of the main feature title, then use the "PLAY" button on the main menu as a resume.
    Apple DVD Player seems to think that SPRM 4 equals this particular value all the time, regardless of what title last played, which is totally breaking my disc. The real kicker is that the disc works flawlessly on set-tops and in a windows environment.. just not on any Mac that I have tried.
    Has anyone out there also experienced a problem with tracking SPRM 4 in Apple DVD Player? Is anyone from Apple reading these things, possibly someone who can flag this as a major issue?
    I am positive that this specific to Apple DVD Player, because the disc works as intended EVERYWHERE else.
    I have tried and experienced this issue across several Macs, and across several versions of DVD Player. It's consistent across all.
    If anyone has any ideas, please respond.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Iphoto not reading iphone

    All of a sudden iPhoto is not reading my iPhone. As a result I cannot download new images.

  • Aperture Vault Does Not Read Drive Space Correctly

    Aperture 3 Vault does not read the disk space correctly on my newly formatted LaCie 500GB drive, and produces an error message that says there is not enough space to update the vault.
    Finder and Disk Utility both indicate that the drive is completely empty. Any help in resolving this problem will be appreciated.

    Just some thoughts
    1. Check ownership on the drive, everyone can read and write. (& it is MacOS formatted)
    2. Check the permissions in your library, it is possible that there is a file with a permissions conflict (only attributable to the fact that computers are programmed by human)

  • Dual core iMac  will swuddenly not read blank cds

    thanks

    Hi sammi123
    Welcome to Discussions
    will not read a blank cd
    Do you mean it will not recognize a blank CD? If so, check to make sure that you didn't accidentally set your iMac to ignore blank CD's. You can check this in the CD's and DVD's tab of system preferences.

  • Help :( DVD Drive will not read Blank DVDs but movie and data DVDs ok.

    I am at loss what to do. Whenever I put in DVD with media in it (including +R), it plays and reads it all just fine. CD data reads no problem too. However, when I put in a Blank DVD, it chugs and ejects it out completely.
    Preferences are fine. It says 'Ask What to Do' is set when 'You insert a Blank DVD'
    Here was how it started. Previously, I could put in a blank DVD and it would be just fine but I'm having problems burning after the 10.5.6 update. Read in a post somewhere to try resetting your PRAM which I did and now it won't accept the blank DVDs. Everything else is fine.
    I know a lot may say it's a bad batch, but I bought a new batch, Memorex vs. Verbatim and nothing.
    Would really appreciate ANY help I can get!

  • IPhoto not reading Library: Driving me mad

    Hello all,
    A little help please: I have my iPhoto library stored on an external HDD. Some time ago my HDD unintentionally became disconnected while still mounted and while it seems iPhoto was still running. Since then, whenever I try and access my photos via iPhoto it simply shows me a blank grey screen and tells me I have no photos or events.
    Interestingly, when I click on the 'Show package contents' in my iPhoto library, I still see all of my original photos. I also see them in the 'images' folder, so I know they're still there. However, my iPhoto doesn't seem to read them.
    I've tried the following solutions, none of which have worked:
    (1) I pushed 'Option' while opening iPhoto and tried to re-nominate the same Library;
    (2) I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager, extracted my photos to a new folder, did the same action as in (1) above;
    (3) I tried to utilise my backup on Timemachine (disturbingly this did not seem to have backed up any of my photos stored on the external HDD - not sure why).
    I did eventually download Picasa, which recognised the photos but not the albums. While I understand that Picasa is supposedly a superior means of storing and managing one's photos, I don't want to have to go and resort all of my shots (I have 17 GB's of photos).
    Can anybody suggest how I can fix this hugely irritating problem? To top it all off, as I am unsure where the computer will store new photos I have not yet uploaded my Christmas holiday pics.
    Help / suggestions welcome (maybe also re Timemachine backing up my external HDD photos and iTunes).
    Many thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Disconnecting the HD with iPhoto open corrupted the library's database file. If you still have the library on the external HD, open it, close it and then Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    If that doesn't bring them back you can use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Drive does not read blank DVD's (but reads all else)

    I have a set of DVD+RW's and DVD+R's that when I put them into my drive, they do not pop up on my desktop. When I insert blank CD's, they work, and when I insert music CD's and movie DVD's, they all work too.
    But the wierdest part is DVD Studio Pro will burn to the blank DVD's, even if finder doesn't see them.
    I have my defaults set to "open in finder" for new disks. Any idea why this ain't workin?
    I got the default CD/DVD drive that came with my mac

    UPDATE: After hours of searching and reviewing this problem, it appears it may be due to third party burning programs, however this poses another problem. My laptop came with Roxi EMC 8 which i removed some time ago, it appears using other third party burning software causes comfilcts which may be causing my problem. I contacted Roxio but they have taken the "we are not able to help" stance due to the software being an OEM and came with teh laptop and they say I need to contact HP, which i obviously have with no success so far. Due to me removing Roxio and not having a disc to reinstall Roxio to see if this corrects the problem (and at this point i would just use the Roxio software reluctantly just so i can have my laptop back) I am stuck and it appears no one knows anything on how to fix it, Roxio will not help but I am hoping HP will since according to Roxio, this needs to be supported through HP. HP, can you please help me, i cannot use my CD/DVD drive most of the time and it appears you are my only hope. Here is what i got from the Roxio website about how it needs to be handled by the manufacturer, in this case HP: "If you have an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) version of Roxio software, please note that it is supported by the vendor that bundled or installed the Roxio product with their hardware or software. For more information about OEM support policies, please read the article What is OEM software? " Please help HP, you have to have an answer to this, is there a place I can download the Roxio software that came with my laptop or is there a Roxio Uninstaller that would completely remove the program as there are bits still threre, my laptop is a HP DV7-1245dx. please help.........

  • Safari not reading Arabic website correctly

    Dear Experts,
    Is there a way to add fonts to Safari? Cause when i open some arabic websites i am not able to see the website font displayed correctly. I am using ITouch with the latest update. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
    Regards.
    E

    Unfortunately, character encoding errors are a significant problem in both Safari and Mail. Apple needs to add a function for users to be able to specify the encoding for a web page or mail message. When Safari or Mail guesses wrong, there is no way for the user to manually select the correct character encoding.

  • Text_io using webutil not reading all characters correctly

    Hello all,
    is anyone familiar with this problem: using client_text_io to read a word-generated html-page. With Forms 4.5 using text_io this worked fine, with webutil certain chars are not transferred correctly (getting upside down question marks in the text). Is the charset that is supported by client_text_io smaller than the charset supported by text_io?
    Note: forms on web are started with the same NLS_LANG setting as the old 4.5 C/S forms.
    Regards, Ron

    Webutil does not currently do any characterset translation for you. So if your Forms Server is running in a character set which is not the same or not a superset of the one on your client you can have this issue
