Photo CD, registers as blank disk?

hi, i have a dvd full of photos that i recently took, when i put it into a windows computer, they come up and i can view them, but when i put the cd into my macbook, it comes up as a blank disk and i can not see my photos, i need the photos on the macbook rather than the windows computer, but it will take a long time to try and transfer them as there is about 500 and the bluetooth transfer does not seem to want to work, which means using emails!
is there any way i can easily and quickly open the photos on my macbook? any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Toria

If you burned the DVD on the Wiindoze PC, you probably didn't finalize or close the disc after burning. That makes it unreadable on a Mac.
Copy the photos from the PC to an external hard drive or USB flash drive, then move the storage device to your Mac and copy them from it to the Mac's hard drive.

Superdrive doesn't recognize blank disks

Was trying to burn some photo's to a disk today. When I inserted a blank disk into the superdrive, it would come up and ask what action to take. I would select open Finder. Then it would come back and say disk not recognized. I tried two brands of DVD's and one CD. I have used each of these in the drive before with no issue.
Then I moved the files to my MBP and burned the photo's to disk with no issue. After burning, I reinserted the disk into the iMac and it could read the disk with no issue.
Anyone seen this before and have advice before I call applecare ??

Are you by chance using a Western Digital external hard drive with your computer? I am having that same exact problem and I can't figure out what is causing it! I have reinstalled my os like 5 times and when I move my applications back I keep running into the same problem. I've tried just putting them back one at a time but I didn't run into the problem until I reboot my computer. I'm curious if my hard drive's software is what's causing the problem, because I had installed my hard drive's software about 3 days before it started doing this.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Encrypted blank disk image, actually encrypted or just password protected ?

I created 200 GB blank disk image on external drive using disk utility with options 128 bit encrytion. I have thought that the data copied to the disk is just password protected not encrypted as such.
I came to conclusion as when you encrypt Mac internal HDD, you can see encryption/decryption progress in Time Machine(system preferences) where as I do not see any encryption/decryption progress for encrypted disk image while copying huge data.
Anyone knows about it ?

As of OS X 10.7.4, Disk Utility had a bug that prevented it from creating an encrypted disk image with a password of more than 10 characters. I haven't checked recently to see whether that bug has been fixed, but from your report it seems not to have been. There is a workaround, but it's complicated.

Importing photos from a fixed hard disk

Hi,
I have a large number of photos that are in a "random" folder structure. I plan to start a-fresh with PSE8 and therefore want to import then into the application. Obviously I can simply do this via "Files" / "Get Photos and Videos" / "From Files and Folders" or "By Searching" but the problem with this is the actual files are not copied so my messy folder structure remains.
What I want to do is use the "Files" / "Get Photos and Videos" / "From Camera or Card Reader" because this has the option to copy the files and place them in a new directory structure based on the date information in each photo.
My problem is that this option doesn't let me use a hard disk location as the source for the import. The only way I can think of doing it is to copy all of my photos to an external hard disk and import them from that.
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers Ian

I don't think there is a way around this, unless you want to copy your photos to a camera memory card. This will be very slow. (Copying to an external hard disk doesn't work, PSE considers EHDs to be the same as internal hard disks)
But ... let me suggest a change in your thinking ... PSE works best when you use tags and captions and other metadata to help you find your photo. Properly tagged, and with supporting metadata, you never have to know what folder your photos are in. PSE knows what folders they are in so you don't have to. Rearranging your folders for the purpose of organizing your photos is not an efficient use of your time ... assigning tags and captions and other metadata is a much more efficient and powerful use of your time. I have about 15K photos, I have no idea what folder they are in, and I can find them in a snap in PSE and make use of them.

How can I import the photos from dvd or hard disk?

Hi!
How can I import/export my photos from dvd or hard disk??!

To what? Are you having trouble with a DVD made by a particular device, or a hard disk that was on a particular computer, or is still in that computer, and communicating to your computer? We don't have enough details to answer the question. Are you trying to get photos into an iPhoto certain version, Photoshop certain version, just the Finder of a certain version, or specific operating system on your Mac? We need more details. Is the DVD a standard DVD, such as is indicated on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446 or something non-standard?

Can't delete a logical volume group created from a blank disk image

Hi all,
I'm a recent convert from Windows, so do bear with me while I grapple with all the new terminology.
Basically, here's the problem: I've been trying to create an encrypted drive and have been at it for a few hours now. I ended up with two 'logical volume groups' created from blank disk images, neither of which are password-protected, and one of which I quite stupidly named "hidden folder" and can't rename now. Anyways, I decided to throw it all away and start right from scratch, but now disk utility won't let me delete these two logical volume groups despite me dismounting both devices, trying to trash the containing folder, etc. Some searching about online has gotten me into the belief that there should be an 'erase' tab in the disk utility window which is not showing up when I click on those drives (however, the erase tab does appear when I click on the indented partitions on each drive). Here's a screenshot to give you guys an idea:
-Here's the disk utility window. The two drives I'm trying to get rid of are "Hidden Folder" and "HD2"
-Here's what I suppose would be called the 'containing folder' in which both drives reside
-And finally my setup, just in case it's relevant
Oh and btw this would be my first post here! How exciting
Thanks in advance,
Arthur

That is as it should be. If you select "Move to Trash" does it move the folders to the trash? If so, do the following from my previous post:

When I drag ANY JPEG into a new folder of ANY kind, I get an alias, not an original. And, when I drag aliases onto a blank disk to burn it, I get burned aliases, NO originals. That's what I'm asking. How do you drag a JPEG and NOT get an alias?

Adobe Premier Elements 7- crash-when burning says" Please insert a blank disk" and already a disk in

I have a Adobe Premier Elements 7. I have had a lot of problems with it of crashing and not burning.. I just had my computer wiped out and installed everything back on like windows xp service pack 3..etc. First I have Windows XP service pack 3 with an Intel Core 2CPU ,6400 @213GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM. When I went into disk menus premier elements 7 crashes... why is that??? also I tried to burn a DVD and does the progress of burniing and almost done burning WHILE there is a dvd in the drive and says"Please insert a blank disk and click ok to burning" why doe sit do that also? I just had adobe reinstalled and my computer wiped out? Please respond and help.. I am using this program as a business of video editing and nee this solved.

Along with Steve's questions, let's talk about the process of Burning a DVD-Video.
From PrE, which is doing the authoring of the DVD-Video, the first thing that happens is a quick check of the Project and the Menu Set chosen. This happens in an instant. Next, the program must Transcode the Timeline to MPEG-2 that is fully DVD-compliant. This takes some time and is a very intensive process, stressing the computer, and also heating things up greatly. This process will often cause a poorly ventilated, or poorly cooled computer to crash with either a reboot, or a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Every component, save for the video card, will be stressed like few other programs can do. PrE uses a 2-pass Transcode, where it goes through the entire Timeline, and maps out sections with high motion, or great detail. It builds a "script" on how to proceed, and then goes back at the Timeline with that script, but also still looking for ways to improve things. This is about 90% of the entire Burn Disc process. Nothing has yet to be burned. Instead, files are created in the Scratch Disk folders. Now, the program takes those newly created MPEG-2 files, the Menus, and all navigation such as Markers, and assembles them into another working folder, in the full DVD structure of VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. When this is done, the actual physical Burn starts. This is quite a ways into the total process. It is at this point, that the program looks at the burner and the blank media, and not before.
When the program cannot get the necessary info from the burner, or the blank media, it will throw an error message, similar to yours. Also, "SenseCode Errors" usually indicate a problem with the burner, or the media.
Now, let's address this last bit. Is the firmware for your burner up to date? If not, update/flash the firmware. This will be available from your burner mfgr's. Web site. Next, what brand of blank media are you using? Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended brands. Memorex, TDK, newer Ritek and all store brands should be avoided at all costs. Last, is your burner a fully-certified multi-drive? If so, it should be able to handle +R, or -R media. What type are you using, and are you sure that this is blank media, and not a disc that you have already burned, or even attempted to burn?
Hope that we can stop the crashes, and get you to burning.
Good luck,
Hunt

I am unable to burn any info-photo ect on to a disk. I have a 27" I mac mid 2010 version. I put in a disk, hit burn, it runs for about 3 mins and ejects the disk sayiny there was an error with the drive and will not restart.

The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Is there an Apple approved device that will allow me to access photos on 3.5" floppy disks?

I have family photos on 3.5" floppy disks that I want to transfer to iPhoto. Is there an Apple approved device to do so? Thanks for your help!

The only problem that I could foresee is that the 3.5" disks may not be in a current Apple format of HFS+. You're probably safe if they're 1.44MB floppies but if they're 400-800K floppies - in the older HFS format you should still be able to read files from the disks with no problems, but no writing back to or erasing the disks.
I remember going through all the trouble with my SyQuest and ZIP disks, too!
Good luck,

Computer Crashes when creating new blank disk image

I'm trying to dreacte a new blank disk image from Disk Utility, but when I select "New Blank Image", I name the disk and hit "Create"my compter crashes and requires restart. Any ideas as to why and how to fix?

Yes, iMovie '08 is more "resource intensive" than iMovie HD. (It takes a lot more RAM to provide all that nice scrubbing ability.)
I'm not sure how large the project you're burning is, but I will say that 1GB of RAM is really low for working with video. Anytime a computer starts running out of free memory, bad things start happening. Applications crash, the system appears to hang, etc. When you quit all the other applications you were running, you freed up RAM for iMovie to use.
I would suggest you bump up the RAM in your machine to at least 2GB. It's not very expensive at all. Less than $80. You can get to 4Gb of RAM for $110! I'd be willing to bet that once you've got more available memory your problem will vanish.
