Iphoto burning a disc

I have downloaded pictures to iphoto and created a slide show that turned out great. I want to burn a disc of that slidshow, is that possible or do I need to create a new show in IDVD. If you can only burn disc from IDVD is there any way to transfer the show I already created over to IDVD so I can copy that?

I believe you have to do it in iDVD. Yes the apps are compatible and you can bring your slideshow over. I am not specific on how to do it. You may want to repost the question in the iLife section so that you can get more specific instructions.

I keep trying to burn a CD-R in Iphoto, and every time iPhoto stops burning halfway through and i get this error message, "Attemp to burn a disc failed. Burn failed due to a medium write error." I am using memorex CD-R's and have tried with 4 times with different CD's. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any info would be awesome

Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

Mac OS X 10.6.8; iPhoto- photos to 'burn folder'; press 'burn' symbol. This window appears: 'Burn - The disc can't be burned, bcause the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media'; what to do next to address this?-

That's a hardware issue and I'd ask on the forum for whatever Mac you have.

IPhoto '11- super drive failed. It won't burn to disc.

iPhoto '11 won't burn to disc...says super drive failed. It goes through preparing to burn and then, immediately shows "finished" and spits out the disc. I had just finished burning another successfully. I talked with apple and we repaired permissions for iPhoto. It worked fine during the test, but didn't after that.
Thanks for any help.

Yes. Successfully burned to a disc. Not only is it doing that from the top tool bar menu, but the information it shows at the bottom of the screen (MG for the burn and how full the disc is) is not accurate. The iPhoto info shows 3.7 MG for the pictures selected, but the burn info at the bottom shows some other amount and says not enough space on the disc. And I'm using a 4.7MG DVD! So, now, I'm just making a burn file on my desktop and burning the disc from there. It works fine. However, I'd still like my iPhoto program to be working the way it's supposed to, so I can use it that way.

How to put/burn photos in iPhoto on a disc ?

I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro laptop.
Please, would some tell me how to burn my photos in iPhoto onto a disc? I would like to do the same with photos on Facebook, if possible.
Sorry to be critical but I really hate Apple because I cannot "figure out" how to do what shoud be simple tasks. Not user friendly

What exactly do you want to burn?
If you use the Share -> Burn command it will make an iPhoto Library on the disk. This is useful only if you want to use the disk with iPhoto.
If you want to give a copy of the photos to a friend or bring them to a printer etc; then export them from iPhoto (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop and burn that with the Finder.
As the photos on Facebook are actually on Facebook and not on your mac, you'll need to download them first.

TS4062 when trying to burn a disc, I get a message from ITunes saying I have to reinstall it because there are previous programs on the computer that are interfering. How would I know what they are?

I am having a problem burning a disc with ITunes. I get a message that I have to download the program again as there are some files that didn't download because of another disc burning program. I am sure this is true as I have Media Player and Nero on this computer. What is it that I have to look for or do? I have uninstalled both of these programs. Are there certain files that I have to delete? Please help.
Also, I have an Ipad and I put the cord into the Ipad and into the computer and now I can't get it out of the IPad. It is really in there tightly. I can get it out of the computer by clicking on safely remove hardware. Why did this happen? It has never happened before.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with these two problems. Thank you.
I am assuming that this ITunes is for Windows as it is on this computer and also on the Ipad.

You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

Burn error (disc image)

All of a sudden, iDVD 5.0.1 won't burn a disc image. Gets to some point through the process (might be half way, might be right through), then says, "Burning completed. Some errors were found during the burn process". Doesn't create any file at all. Have tried buring a few different projects, with the same result.
Any clues?

I am having exactly the same problem. My iDVD project started in iPhoto as a "saved slideshow". I have followed all of the steps as provided in two 3rd party manuals -- Jim Heid's "iLife '05" and David Pogue's "iMovie and iDVD 5 -- the Missing Manual". I have even done a "Project Archive" file as the basis to burn the iDVD to ensure that all the resources are together and available. My project consists of a 24 minute slideshow comprised of 230 photos all with "Burns Effect" panning and zooming and with a background music track. This was sent to iDVD from the iPhoto commands. The "Memories" theme was applied with text modification, changes to the font style text location and color, and changed audio selection. A second slideshow was added which consisted of an archive of all the photos used in the original, plus some added ones that were not used. This added a second button on the main menue with three sub-menues on a secondary menu, where the photos were automatically broken down by iDVD into three groups of photos of less than 100 each for a total playing time of approximately 6 minutes (1 sec per photo). The project was then saved and archived. Everything plays fine up to this point. The total memory of the saved archived project file is 2.86 Gb. The rendering and processing time for iDVD to create the disk image (.img) file exceeded 5 hours. I've tried to generate the disk image three times. Like Jim White, in one case after nearly 3 hours, the program put out an error message saying that errors had been encountered and the processing was being aborted. In the two other cases, the processing went the complete 5+ hours; gave a message that the "burning was finished, but that some errors had been found (on verification?) and produced NO FILE.
I am using a Mac G4/1.25 Ghz MDD , Mac OS-10.4.2 with 768Mb RAM and 13.5 Gb of available hard drive storage at the beginning of disk image processing; with iPhoto 5.0.4 and iDVD 5.0.1.
I have no experience with earlier versions of iDVD, so I can't say if this is a problem created by the 5.0.1 update, or the upgrade to Tiger. In any case, this is extremely poor error coding, especially considering the amount of time required for the image processing -- i.e.to state after 5 hours that an error was found which aborts or invalidates the burn without providing any clue as to what or where the error was -- this makes the entire software package of virtually NO VALUE.
Your comments, please!

Iphoto 08 photo disc compatibility issue

Burned a photo disc with iphoto 08 v 7.1.2 to give to a PC friend. The results were awful. Even though the photos were full resolution on the disc, they display as tiny images on the PC screen. I then put the disc in another imac running 10.5 but with iphoto 06 and it won't even play! Error message "cannot open current library". I ended up burning a disc with Toast and everything is fine.
It's a shame that iphoto 08 can't do something as basic as burning a photo disc that other computers can read.

It seems that the library system is more complicated than it needs to be.
I don't think so. When you bear in mind what iPhoto actually does it makes a lot of sense. Each folder has a specific role:
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
why there can't be a set of files (pictures), and a directory (info on sorting or categorizing the pictures)
The folders above each have their specific role to play. The "info on sorting or categorizing the pictures" is tracked in the database files. The good news here is that a single pic can be in 1, 10 or 100 albums with no extra copies of the files floating around.
Bluntly, you could simplify the library, but then iPhoto wouldn't work. If you want a simple folder of images, then don't use iPhoto. Pop your pics in a folder and use an Image Viewer. There are many available for the Mac.
Shouldn't there be a dialog box asking me how I want to burn the pictures?
Or, just a wild thought this, have you checked the Help?

Organizing photos to burn to disc

Hi,
First off, I have looked through the discussions and can't find any information that can help me with this matter.
I want to burn 6 folders onto a disc from my Library. The pictures in the folders are in a particular order, but when I burn the disc, all the pictures and folders burn in a 'random' order (I know random is not the case here). I have renamed the pictures in the folders by doing a batch name change for each folder, but the pictures continue to be placed on the disc in a different order.
Is it possible to organize my photos on the disc with the pictures in order? It was time consuming to hunt through my Library and create the folders in the first place. I want to burn 6 onto a disc and when I reload the disc... they are out of order again... 500 photos that I have to hunt through to find a particular one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andrea
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Andrea,
Are you trying to create a disc that will work withOUT iPhoto? Meaning that it simply contains the 6 folders of image files and no library information? Files in the Finder list in alpha-numeric order, so you'll need their filenames to be adjusted accordingly.
If so, then create an iPhoto Album for each folder you want. Arrange the photos in the albums in your desired order. Then Export each album to a desktop folder. The Export dialog gives you the option to rename the files by Album name. If you have an album called June, then the files will be June - 01, June - 02,...June - 99. This will only work for 99 photos, so limit the albums to that size.
If you don't want all the photos in the June album to be named June - ## there is another option that allows you to use the iPhoto titles to help you identify the photos. Arrange the photos in their Albums as before. Then edit the titles. You can go through each one and add a number to the beginning of its title. Be sure to pad the first ones with enough zeros for the last number (1 for up to 99, 2 for 100 to 999). This would give you 01 Swimming, 02 Dolphins,...99 the Beach. Export each album with "Use Title" selected. Now that the titles are in alpha-numeric order, they will remain as such. This method is obviously more time consuming, but may save you time when using the disc in the future.
You can name those 6 folders as you wish. To get them to list in a particular order simply add a number to the beginning of each folder name, from 1 to 6. Burn those 6 folders to your disc from the Finder.
On the other hand, if you want a disc that works directly in iPhoto, then you burn it from within iPhoto. It will mount in the Source Pane and allow you to view your photos in the iPhoto window as before. The order of the files would not matter.
Regards.

Movie clips in iDVD won't burn to disc image or a DVD

I created an iDVD project with a slide show created in iPhoto and some movie clips I took with a digital camera that were also in iPhoto. It works great in iDVD preview. When I burn a disc image or a DVD, the movie clips don't play while the slideshow is fine. There is also the clue in the menu of the project (only on the disc image or DVD, not the iDVD preview) that the printing of the names of the movie clips is clearly lighter than the name of the slideshow. During the burning to disc or DVD, one can see the movie clips supposedly being encoded and no error messages occur. This is a birthday present. Help, please.

It's become a moot point. It turns out that while I could navigate with the mouse with respect to the slide show (on both the disc image and the DVD I burned), I had to use the arrows and enter key to navigate and activate the movie clips. Once I figured out to use the arrow keys/enter key rather than the mouse, everything worked okay. Thanks for trying to help me!

I have completed a dvd using idvd. It burns to disc but I want to upload it to tube Is there a way to do that? it seens to be in project mode now.

I have completed a dvd using idvd. It burns to disc and plays back on both mac and pc
I want to upload it to utube as a private link for family
file://localhost/Users/annedutton/Documents/Be%20Still%20two.dvdproj/
Is there a way to do it? I looked at quicktime to try but cannot seem to get it done.
Thank you for your help
Anne

iDVD is not a format that can be viewed online. Personally I would try creating a slideshow in iPhoto with the same photos and audio as used in iDVD. Then export as a movie file with the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window:
Since I don't use Face Book I don't know what size to recommend. Another option would be to get a YouTube account (free) and upload the Quicktime movie file to it. You can make videos there private or public.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Burn to disc via Centrale?

Creative Centrale is showing my disc dri've but it's greyed out, how can I transfer items to be burned to it's

When you burn a disc directly from iPhoto, it makes a disc that is crafted to work with iPhoto, hence the thumbnails (and I believe other supporting files). This disc, when popped into a Mac running iPhoto, should automatically launch iPhoto and show up there, thumbnails and all.
To burn a disc that is intended for Windows users or Mac users who aren't using iPhoto, I've found a good solution is to do a Finder burn. I export the photos I want into a new folder (I put it on my desktop, since it's just temporary), then copy the contents of that folder and paste them into a new blank CD or DVD. After the burn is completed I delete the folder on my desktop.
It may sound convoluted, but it's really quite quick and simple.
There might be other good ways to do this within iPhoto. I'm sure others will post if they have suggestions.

Cannot burn CD-R direct from iPhoto Burn

Hello. I am having a problem with burning a CD-R direct from iPhoto. This is what occurs:
I insert a blank disk into the eMac. I select the album I want to burn in iPhoto. I click on the BURN button, bottom right. An error code comes on screen " You have inserted a disc containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted,click ignore". I click on ignore. A message comes on indicating it is 'preparing to burn'. After a short period that message disappears and another message comes on screen saying "Burning to the HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-41208 drive" Below that is the horizontal blue barber pole, which is not spinning and below that is "Preparing data for burning". The spinning beach ball is active also. That is all that happens. I have left it on for 15 or 20 minutes and no change so I eventually just Force Quit iPhoto to end the process. I have tried commercial music CD's in the eMac and they play okay. I have put a blank disk in and dragged a test item into it from the desktop and am able to burn that okay. It just appears the iPhoto burn is messed up somehow. A day or two ago I didnt have any problem burning direct from iPhoto.
The first burning error (shown above) seems to mention 'RW/DVD'but this is a CD-R. Hope someone can give me some info on this. Thanks.
PS: Since posting this on the eMac forum, I have tried trashing thumbnails 32/64/JPG and com.apple.iphoto.plist. I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions. I have removed iPhoto from the Dock and then put it back in. No change in the above situation. Hope someone can shed more light on this problem. Thank you.

Hello and Thanks for input Bev and Brie. Yes I have tried Verbatim CD's and same results as with the Sony's I had previously been using. And Brie, I have trashed com.apple.iPhoto.plist (I mentioned that in the latter part of my original post) but no change. It has me baffled and of course unable to backup Albums direct from iPhoto, even though I can still Export to a Desktop Folder and drag to the CD for a Burn. One small thing that may or may not have a bearing on this, is that when I click the Burn 'eye' in iPhoto, at first there is no indication that anything is happening but eventually it opens and the 'eye'starts rotating. If I recall correctly, as soon as you clicked on the eye, it used to go into action immediately. Cheers and thanks again for your ideas.

IPhoto burning error

So I've been trying to burn some photos(& videos) to disc using iPhoto, a few discs burnt sucessfully, but now i get an error and it spits my disc out without burning.
The error message is "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry."

I just had a computer doing the same thing. The problem for this one ended up being the iPhoto Library. I'm still not sure what file was causing the problem but I did get it to work.
What I did is I moved the iPhoto Library to the desktop and re-launched iPhoto. When it asked what to do about the iPhoto Library I created a new one. Then quit iPhoto.
With the new iPhoto Library (in the pictures folder) right click and select show package contents. Do the same thing with the old iPhoto Library on the desktop so you have two windows showing the contents from each library.
Then copy everything except Attachments, Auto Import, Contents, iLifeShared, Info.plist and iPod Photo Cache from the old iPhoto Library to the new iPhoto Library.
Once I restarted iPhoto the Albums and Projects all came back and I was able to burn CDs and DVDs again.

I got an error message while burning a cd in itunes - "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error. What is that and how can i fix it?t

I got an error message while burning a CD in iTunes - "the attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

The disk you are using probably has a defect, not uncommon on consumer grade disks. Try another disk or better yet another disk from a different manufacturer or at least a different batch.
