IPhoto can't do burn from Share menu

Hi!
My neighbour came round and asked me to burn a CD of her children that I have in my photo library.
I usually drag them all into a folder and burn from the desktop.
Today I decided to look under the Share option and it said "Burn"
I selected it and after a few secs a message appeared "No devices are available for burning"
I find this funny, as not only do I have a Superdrive installed, but also have a DL LaCie DVD/CD writer installed.
Why is it doing this, and how can I correct it?
Thanks in advance

Rob:
Does your neighbor have a Mac and iPhoto? If not then you don't want to use the Share->Burn option. That's only for using with iPhoto. You should use the File->Export->File Export menu route and export to a mounted, blank CD.

  • Can't open nautilus from applications menu

    I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
    In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
    I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
    The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
    /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop:  Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
    Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
    Any one can help?

    Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
    Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched  during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
    According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
    I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
    I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
    This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
    If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
    I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
    Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
    Thanks!
    I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

  • Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Can't email Excel file from Share menu

    When I use the Numbers Share menu to email an excel file nothing happens. Looking in the Console app I see this:
    3/3/13 8:12:47.446 AM Numbers[187]: Assertion failure: Method: outlineView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:item:
    Object: <LSStylesController 0x2cade010>
    File: /SourceCache/Numbers/Numbers-554/numbers/LSStylesController.m
    Line #: 525
    Found a non typical table style, using low DPI image
    I can export the file as an Excel file to the desktop and email that but why does the Share menu feature not work?

    When you send e-mail via the share menu you have to be very careful with the characters in the file name. The share menu will not work with any "illegal" characters. It's best to stick with only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens & underscores.

  • Mail option is missing from share menu

    "Mail" is missing from the share menu. When I go to the Extensions preferences in the System Preferences it is checked buy also grayed out. On Apple.Com it clearly shows in the example that Mail is present in the Share dropdown menu. I verified that my Mail account is correct. I have also tried Apple's instructions on this page: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite - Apple Support. Still nothing works. The Apple Help file even says this:
    Share Menu
    Select the items that you want in the Share menu, and in the Social widget in Today view in Notification Center.
    The Share menu is available in several apps, including Safari, Contacts, and the Finder. If an item is selected, but you don’t see it in an app’s Share menu, then you can’t use that item to share in that particular app.
    Only items that allow posting or messaging can appear in the Social widget.
    So, it would seem from this that Mail is not available in Photos? I find that hard to believe. I would be nice to still be able to email a photo directly from the new Photos App. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Having the same issue!  Just updated to 10.10.3 and still no mail option in the share menu for Photos app!  Share via email works fine in Safari but it is not available in Photos app.  Hopefully someone will advise or respond asap otherwise, will wind up following the steps to reverting back to iPhoto!!

  • Facebook gone from Share Menu

    Since my update to OS 10.10.3, Facebook is gone from my share menu. It is also missing from the list under Share Menu in the extensions preference pane of the system preferences. I am logged into Facebook, and it also appears in my internet accounts in the system preferences, but, since it is lacking in all the share menus (of course, also with "more...") I can't share anywhere (for example, photos from Photo app).
    It has worked in the past.
    All other accounts (Twitter, Flickr, etc.) are there, only Facebook is missing. I also tried rebooting, re-signing in to Facebook. Now am out of ideas -- would be grateful for help.
    System: Macbook retina, 10.10.3

    Further information:
    I discovered that after logging into Facebook in another user account on my Macbook, Facebook appeared in the share menu as it should. So I figure, the system is okay, something is wrong just in my user account.
    I tried replacing all of the user preferences with those from the other account. Unfortunately, after a reboot, the behavior was the same, no Facebook in the share menu or the list of extensions.
    My conclusion: whatever it is, it is not the fault of the system or user preferences. What else could it be? Where do these system extensions reside?
    An alternate idea: is it possible to import everything into the other user account, the one that works? Is there an easy way to do that? Overwriting duplicate data is not a problem, I don't want to merge two accounts, just get a clean start with a new one.
    Any advise would be appreciated!!!

  • [Solved] Can't start GParted from XFCE menu

    Hi,
    I have polkit installed but I can't start GParted from the XFCE menu. Do I need to edit any configuration files to make this work? The wiki isn't very clear about what to do after installing polkit. Thanks.
    Last edited by kaixi (2012-11-02 15:09:12)

    In my Xfce4 installation, it's /usr/share/applications/GParted, which I copied over to ~/.local/share/applications/, as kaixi suggested, and it appeared there as gparted.desktop.  Right-click for Properties > Launcher > Command, and in that field (not wanting to install gksu) I put sudo gparted, which works, thanks.

  • H.264 profile from share menu

    Hi everyone!
    What profile (basic or high) getting videofiles encoded in h.264 from "share - export media" menu. And one more: keyframes's steps of this export option? If someone know it - tell me, please! Thanks!

    Media Info reports an h.264 QT export as High profile. Can't help with the Key Frame intervals.
    BTW, if you still have the Export Media option, you're a couple versions out of date.

  • IPhoto can't delete photos from iPhone 6

  • I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

    I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
    I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
    can anybody help?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Can't create archive from file menu

    Hello,
    I can't create 'archive' (tar.gz) from file menu in Color (Save Archive As...).
    I don't have authorization problem on my folder project; i can create myself a tar.gz archive in the folder Archive of my Color's project.
    The system.log file said:
    Jul 16 09:45:51 fcp1 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.color[215]: tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
    Jul 16 09:45:51 fcp1 [0x0-0x1e01e].com.apple.color[215]: Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.

    some other users report difficulties, crashes, freeze-ups and very long save times associated with the Operating System and Finder. There is apparently some background file compression utility that may be interfering with your save routine. There are a couple of threads related to this issue on this forum, so a bit of searching may yield a solution.
    I haven't encountered it in nearly four years of day-to-day with three separate systems in either Tiger or Leopard. Suffice to say that if you have any third-party whiz-bang utilities running, COLOR is very vulnerable to OS corruption as it is a stripped-out race car that doesn't expect or tolerate much else when it comes to sharing the computer.

  • 30 fps projects automatically become 25 fps when export a DVD from share menu

    I shoot some video at 30 fps.  I made a project setting to match that.
    My 30 fps projects becomes 25 fps when I make DVDs from FCPX share menu.
    I thought it would make 29.97 DVDs but somehow FCPX makes PAL DVDs.
    I tried different settings: all 23.98, 24, 29.97, 60 fps projects give me 29.97 DVDs when I share from FCPX.
    Only 30 fps projects does not give me 29.97 but 25.
    Do you know why that happen?

    I am bit confused.  It is not easy to make 29.97 out of 30 fps yet let FCPX handle the frame rate change?
    Of course we should have the right fps setting when we shoot.  I guess it is still best option at this stage to set FCP project 29.97 and let it do the math.
    If, though, I am okay to have my source video slow down tiny bit, then using Compressor for frame-to-frame conversion will assure the best quality?

  • IPhoto 11 import to library from file menu

    When using iPhoto 11, and attempt to import a photo to library from file menu, nothing happens. No error message, no action. I rebuilt the database, tried deleting the cache and plist. Everything seems fine except I cannot use this function. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    First try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • I have five projects in my Final Pro X Project Library. Four can be exported via the "Share" menu, one cannot.

    For this one project, the "Share" menu can be twirled open, but none of the choices on the menu are active..they are greyed out. I don't understand what the difference is between this project, and the other projects that would cause this. I am noticing that this particular project is configured as 1080p HD, and the others are standard def. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With further inspection, thanks for your guidance, it turned out that the timeline contained media linked directly off off the SD card. After ejecting the SD card, redness showed up. We will be in good shape going forward. Now I need to figure out how to re-link what's in the timeline to a local copy of the file on the hard drive. But, you solved our issue. Thank you!

  • IPhoto can't import photos from DSLR.

    I have a Canon EOS 1000D.
    I tried to import the photos on it. It said : "Import complete. Delete originals/Keep Originals."
    After selecting one of those, it has a message saying: "Unreadable files : 748." "The files could not be imported because it's data is not valid and it lists down all my photo names.
    So I went to iPhoto library under Pictures. iPhoto Library>Originals>Paramount Championship.
    Paramount championship is what I named it for the events.
    So I have to copy it to my desktop (Since iPhoto cannot import photos from it's library.)
    And copy it back to iPhoto.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Given that you're having an issue with your Camera and your phone, try - as a test - create a new Library:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    and see if they will import to that new blank library okay. If they do:
    Revert to your Old Library:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and then
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards
    TD
