Non-accessible iPhoto DVD

As a backup measure, I burned a DVD from the iPhoto Library on my aging MacBook. Yet, none of my drives allow me to open the file (group of files?) on my Mac mini. The message states that the file is locked and to return when it isn't any more, or to chose another library. This is where I'm stuck: I'd like to access the images on the DVD and transfer them selectively in order to make a book of my late and lamentably departed cats. I'd appreciate any help or pointer.

You need to drag it from the DVD to a hard drive. A backup iPhoto library on DVD is exactly that: a backup. Until copied from the backup drive, it can't be opened in iPhoto or changed.

BIOS non accessible after installing W10 x86. Serious Issue.

Potentially a serious issue.
From a "cold boot" (following a previous shutdown command) the BIOS is non accessible. The actual clickable text of "Press F2 to enter set up" is missing. This means that no recovery of this PC exists such as booting from
a Windows disc or other bootable media.
Fortunately, providing you can boot into W10 and do a restart, then the BIOS options appear.
This means that if Windows didn't boot into Windows your PC could well become a brick.

I hope I can help you about. I've note a funny thing on my PC: I have installed Windows 10 on a spare HDD, clean install on new formatted disk, without any other HDD inside. Later I've "shut down", unplugged all cables and removed
from PC the Windows 10's HDD. I have then rebooted my PC on my usual HDD, it was telling me when pushing the power-on button "stepping out from hibernation". I've seen ~ this before in 7 and 8 installations (only). Not a BIOS/PC/HDD problem for sure.
Maybe you have already done that before, sorry if my message is giving too much details, but I wouldn't want that you break something down on the process :-)
Try to follow those steps in this order:
1 - Remove all the medias connected (USB keys, CD, external HDD etc.).
2 - Plug off the power cord, remove the battery, remove the HDD (usually is easily accessible from one side or from down-side of your laptop), wait for 4-5 minutes, then put in the battery (or the power cord) and try to power on your laptop
without any HDD, USB key or DVD.
Normally you should see the BIOS as usual, it will announce you that you have no boot media, or that there is an error and default settings were loaded. If so, power off, disconnect power source (cord and battery), plug in the HDD and
restart the computer. If it's again blocking your bios, return to step 2 for removing the HDD. You may consider to thoroughly cleaning your HDD (including the MBR, formatting will not clear everything out, rather delete the partitions, re-create them, re-format).
If 1 and 2 don't change the state of your BIOS, the error it's not connected with your HDD/OS installed. It just happened that starts just after you installing a new OS.

IPhoto not showing a iPhoto DVD

I just made a iPhoto DVD which mounts OK, but is not seen in the "Shared" list. I have an external CD/DVD R/W since the internal is not working. When I tried to eject the DVD the message said it was "in Use by iPhoto." When I tried this DVD in my iMac 20" it showed but indicated "no items" however, if I examine it in the Finder, all the content is present.
Somewhat dissapointed since I have just converted 1215 photos from film to digital and used iPhoto to develop into events over 10 years. This really looks great on my iMac, but want to share with children, one has a MacBook Pro and the other a Windows PC. This latter DVD worked as it should for the Windows PC as single photo file of 1215 photos.

More information: from the Help file for iPhoto:
View photo libraries on a CD or DVD
If you’ve burned an entire iPhoto library to a CD or DVD (using the iPhoto burn function), you can view the library in iPhoto without importing all the photos. You can’t make changes to a photo library you’re viewing on a disc, but you can import (copy) photos and albums from it into the current iPhoto library.
Hide
To view a photo library on a CD or DVD:
Insert the CD or DVD into your computer’s disc drive.An icon for the disc appears in the Source list.
Click the disc’s icon in the Source list to show the photo library or libraries it contains.
The DVD never shows in the Source List!
The solution to this problem is to copy the iPhoto Library file to the User> Pictures folder and restart iPhoto with the Option key pressed, then select this iPhoto Library and click Open.
Again, it is a disapointment that nobody has replied to my first post above. At least correct the Help file or tell me where I have gone wrong?

Forest Root non-accessible\Child Domain still accessible. Can I recreate Forest Root and create Trust to current Child Domain?

Hi,
The 2 DCs for our Forest Root took a hit and are non-accessible, however the Child domain is still accessible. Can I recreate the Forest Root from scratch and Trust/Link to current Child Domain? So Im looking for my options to keep an accessible
Child Domain, but recreate a new Forest Root cause the current one is inaccessible.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Hi,
Would you please tell us that what do you mean by they
are non-accessible?
Are you able to log onto any of the two DCs in the forest root domain? If yes, we can use dcdiag.exe to analyze the state of the dc in the forest root domain.
If you have any system state backup of the DCs in the root domain, please restore the DC from backup.
Best Regards,
Erin

Hi,
I have your standard macbook and was wondering if it would play non-us format dvds?
any help is much appreciated.

I have your standard macbook and was wondering if it would play non-us format dvds?
It will. If the region code is different, you will be asked to change the code, and it can only be changed a few times.

Urgent: Installing SolMan 4.0 Non-Unicode - Kernel DVD trouble

Hi all,
I have a problem here with the Kernel DVD's.. I am installing SolMan 4.0 non-unicode on Solaris 10/Oracle 10. When I am asked to provide a path to "Kernel NW04sSR1" media, I provide the path to media number 51032262 (SAP NW2004S SR2) which is the closest I get.. On this DVD, there is a folder called KN_SOLARIS_SPARC with contains a LABEL.ASC like this:
<b>"SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL:SAP Unicode Kernel 700:SOLARIS_SPARC:CD51030xxx"</b>
The label that is requested by SAPinst is "SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS_SPARC:"
Is this not the correct DVD that I am providing?
Please help!
Best Regards,
Thomas Kjelsrud

Hi,
I have the 51032263 DVD, which contains both the unicode and non-unicode kernel.
We have decided to go with a unicode installation of SolMan 4.0, but still I am having the problem with SAPInst requesting the Kernel NW04sSR1 DVD.. In my DVD-kit I only have NW04sSR2 kernel DVD.
When I try to specify the exact CD (KU_SOLARIS_SPARC) within the DVD I get this message: "You entered /tmp/d510302263/KU_SOLARIS_SPARC Unable to find a LABEL:ASC at location >< (Look for label SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS:SPACR:"
Please help, who can I contact as SAP with this issue?
Regards,
Thomas

Thanks in advance for any help (used a philips dvd+r disc 4.7 gb data 120 min video 1-16x speed)

You can make a slideshow in iPhoto and use the Share -> Send to iDVD command. You can also make a slideshow in iDVD. The help on both apps is pretty good, have to checked it out at all?

IPhoto DVD

Recently installed iPhoto 08. I only have about 60% of the original folders showing up and I can't locate the remainders.
Secondly, I tried to backup what was left to DVD and it won't permit me to drag and drop icons from iPhoto to DVD. A white circle with a diagonal slash through it appears.

ManKan
It sounds like your database has been corrupted. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards
TD

Non-compatible iPhoto problem

I am running OS 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro.
I have OS 10.7 on my other hard drive but I prefer to use 10.6.8.
I recently download an Apple software update & it installed a version of iPhoto which is only compatible with 10.7 & has therefore stopped working.
I searched the net for a workaround to no avail - lots of advise - nothing worked.
Any thoughts?
Not keen on 10.7 & I don't want to be forced into using it.
And is Apple losing it?
How could they not have an interlock which would exclude non-comparible APPLE software being installed in place of something that works or are they trying to force conformity.

I recently download an Apple software update & it installed a version of iPhoto which is only compatible with 10.7 & has therefore stopped working.
You mention two machines but you don't say which one stopped working. Neither do you say what "stopped working" means. Nor do you tell us what software update you downloaded, for what app, nor from where.
I searched the net for a workaround to no avail - lots of advise - nothing worked.
Any thoughts?
Please give us a full list of the various things you've tried. That way we won't waste our time - and yours - making suggestions you already know won't work.
No, Apple is not losing it, far as I can see.
Perhaps your last paragraph will make sense when you explain your problem in more detail. That said, 10.6 is currently 2 iterations behind current of the OS and soon to be 3.

IPhoto DVD locked

I have an iPhoto library on DVD which I want to open to view photos. I have clicked on DVD icon on Desktop, clicked on the iPhoto Library icon in it and have received message that it is locked. I have created a new library which was suggested in one message that appeared while trying to open the DVD. However, when I selected the library, a message appeared again that the DVD was locked.
What are the procedures that are needed to open the iPhoto Library on the DVD in order to view the photos?
Thanks for your help.
Vernon

If you created the DVD the way described then it would not show up in iPhoto. p
Try the following:
1 - drag the library again from the DVD to the Desktop.
2 - download and run BatChmod on the library with the settings in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto with the option key depressed, select the library on the Desktop and open it.
If iPhoto converts the library and you still get blank windows when double clicking on thumbnails backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager 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 left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto DVD Backup

Hi, anyone out there that can help me with backing up iPhoto version 5.0.4 to DVD, I don't want to back up on any iPhoto format, I just want to back it up to a DVD as regular jpg's, meaning just the pictures no links to iPhoto. This way I can open them up on any computer PC or MAc and anywhere. Any ideas, suggestions are truly appreciate, I have about 2200 pictures already stored.
Thanks,
Rogelio

Rogelio:
Yes, it's relatively easy. See this Apple KB document: iPhoto: How to Burn a CD With Pictures for a Windows-Compatible Computer.

IPhoto DVD Burn, How much extra space is needed?

I did a few tests, and each time, I found the same result.
If I filled a disc (DVD or CD) to nearly capacity, iPhoto couldn't burn the disc, saying that there was an error. When I burn a 4.7 gig DVD to 4.0 gigs, the disc burns successfully. How much 'extra' space do I need to leave for iPhoto to burn correctly?
TIA

Benson:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you're running into it the disparity between what iPhoto reports as the size of the select photos and what it needs to burn an iPhoto disk. As you know there's a big difference. Check the iPhoto Library folder size in the Finder and compare that to what iPhoto indicates when you click on the main library icon. The difference will be all the thumbnails, original files, modified files, data and database files. My test library is 74 via iPhoto and 98MB via the finder. That's a lot of overhead.
I guess I would keep the iPhoto reported size to about 4.2G max. when burning to a DVD disk. Of course it would vary depending on the number of edited photos are in the batch you selected.

How do I Import an iPhoto DVD "Verbatim" and not as iPhoto wants?

I have a DVD of a set of iPhoto folders, that a professional photographer friend of mine that insists on using iPhoto, that will not import as it burnt to the DVD. Why?
You mount the DVD and it's perfect in iPhoto, but when you got to bring it in in any of the many ways you can, it just doesn't work as expected. I need the DVD to import as it was her version of 6.0.4, in mine.
Even when I create a folder and drag and drop it adds the photos from a previous drop to the folder. And when I look in the main library there are several copies/versions of the pictures.
I would like folder for folder import. That is not happening. I'm using iPhoto 6.0.4 on a PPC FW800.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
G4 FW800, 2GB RAM, 2-DVR110s, 4-500GB HDs, 3-Monitors, 2-Turtle Doves, 1-iTTUSB Mac OS X (10.4.8) Totally Stuffed/Max'd Out with lots of great toys.

Thanks for the reply. The short version is just fine. Usually it's shorter.
The disc was burned as iPhoto 6.0.4 does and only will do. We got the cute little disc that shows you in red or green and numbers how much room you need and if it will burn and hit the button and off it went. When mounted, it shows up in the Source Panel perfectly as it should be. Dragging the folders out of the disc to the column just moves the position of the folder and no importing happens. When ejected the "moved" folder disappears. If I make a new folder and "drag and drop" the first import works, then the second on, the all the pics from the first drop are included also, even though I did not touch that folder.
If I do a straight import from the pull down menu, I get several versions of the photo and it mixes them all in with what I already have in the library and have to dig for the real picture and not the thumbnail or something else. I tried a smart folder and boy are they lacking in options for that. Like, "imported" when "today". That would have let me find what I just brought in to delete it when the importing went awry.
The only reason that iPhoto is involved it that it was originally used to download and catalog these photos. I'm building a website and have no real need for iPhoto other than getting my hands on these pics.
I did finally go into the disc raw, and looked through the folders on the disc itself, what a mess, I took the main folder and copied it over and then placed the "modified" files over the "originals", replacing them. It was a tad tedious, but got the job done. I spent hours, wasted, trying to make iPhoto work as the instructions, tutorials, forums, fixit forums all recommend and nothing positive came from it. I even tried making eMails attachments and there were too many photos that it stalled Entourage, of which 10.4.9 is suppose to have some interaction fixes for, so there's problems there.
I mentioned to my photographer friend that she might try Aperture. She has it, has, and says that it's more hype than help. And this woman knows her "stuff". And that if it weren't for the fact that the cataloging software that came with her cameras was PC and not Mac, she'd be using that and not iPhoto. I recommended a new Intel Mac and she says it'll be a PC next. She has work to do. Ouch.
I have always used iPhoto just because it was there and easy. But after last night and really having to dig through it, I found all kinds of nastiness. I thought for a moment, although, I have the database backed up, that I had lost at ton of pictures to low res thumbnails that seem to be all over the place. But no originals. Then after checking several copies/thumbnails, I found the originals.
Well I have the pics and am half done, and finally gave up for the moment, going to bed at 9:14am.
Now I have to extract photos from a Flash piece that is being replaced with a simple html page. iPhoto ain't gettin' near this one.
Thanks . . .
