Problem with iPhoto files burned to DVD

I just installed my iLife '06. I want to back up my digital photos on DVD's. I've tried both DVD-R and DVD+R to burn to. They burn through completion stating when finished, that the DVD was burned successfully. When I re-insert back into the CD player, no disk image appears, and the CD player doesn't engage whatsoever. After 30seconds. it's ejected.
My intention is strictly to back up the photo and related data files. I'ld like to actually eventually delete them altogether from iPhoto, to free up some space...once I know I've got it all on a disk.
It plays commercially purchased DVD's just fine, as well as Burned CD's.
My profiler shows I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-1060
DVD-Write -R, -RW +R, +RW.
How do I determine what is really wrong, and correct it?
(I originally posted this in a different forum and it was suggested that this forum would be more appropriate for my question. Sorry for the redundancy)

As of yet, no.
I just attempted to burn a DVD using a DVD-R. I selected a goup of photos from iPhoto and drug them to a burnfolder on my desktop. I selected: file>burndisk.
After the "burn" was completed, the DVD disk image with the burnfolder title was still on the desktop. I ejected it and then re-loaded it. Again, there was no response from the CD drive (no sound or movement), no disk image appeared on the desktop, and no disk image appeared on the Disk Utilities window which I had kept open to monitor it. After 30 seconds the disk drawer opened on its own.
Considering how inexpensive a new and upgraded optical drive is, maybe I should just replace it, though I would still like to discover what the cause this current problem is, regardless.

Problems with playback when burning to DVD or saving as MPEG

My movie looks fine when viewed through Adobe Premiere Elements 9 but then when I burn it to DVD or save as an MPEG the footage appears jumpy. I have tried deinterlacing and this improves it but doesn't fix it. Any suggestions on what I can do to help with this.

Now2011
Is the jumpy uniform or mostly at point of major motion in the content?
Have you tried applying just Field Options/Reverse Field Dominance? If so, any better, worse, same as if you had just selected Always Deinterlace?
1. Is you source media interlaced or progressive video? If interlaced, is Fields = Upper Field First or Lower Field First?
2. When you save an "MPEG" file, what are you setting for Field Order (See Advanced Button/Video Tab)?
Note DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is standardized as interlaced with Field Order = Lower Field First.
3. Is jumpy = flicker, double looking images, or just plain jumpy?

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
Self use Verbatim DVD-R
Who can help - what should I do?

How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
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.

Problem with iPhoto 9.3.2: Any assistance or how to re-install?

Hi all,
I've got a problem with iPhoto 9.3.2 whereby upon startup, I get a spinning wheel which goes on forever (I've left the computer alone for 5 hrs and coming back, it's still spinning). Symptoms are it pulls up the Library with Events, Photos, Faces, even Albums. But I don't actually get any photos displayed on the right.
I've tried :-
1) reinstalling Mountain Lion
2) using Disk Utility Repair Permissions
3) Rebuilding thumbnails & library
4) Creating new library
5) starting up under a new user account (therefore not a problem with a config file in my homedir)
6) Starting iPhoto up in Safe Mode
Note during the spinning wheel, I can access the menu as such I can quit, import photos, etc.
It actually works (worked) under the following conditions :-
a) Until 31st July iPhoto 9.3.2 was working fine. I cannot remember what I did/installed/uninstalled/changed/deleted to cause it to have problems
b) I can get access to the very same library with Aperture with no problems at all (i.e. no library issues)
c) Photos will only display if I import a picture. Then all Events will appear. I can get into each event, I can even select the photo I imported and delete it. This is my current workaround to accessing photos in iPhoto. However I cannot switch to any of the albums I created. It will only display Events. Clicking on Photos, Faces, Places, and any of the Recent doesn't do anything.
So finally now is to try to re-install iPhoto 9.3.2. Can any one please let me know how I can do this? I've tried Option-Click on Purchases tab in the App Store but I get a greyed out INSTALLED in iPhoto. Similarly I found a link that provided the iPhoto9.3.2Update.dmg but in attempting to installing that, it tells me it can only be done via the App Store.
Any advice?
Cheers

@putnik, yes I believe the update came from that site.
@mende1, perfect! That was easy! I thought I had to clean out plist files from my home directory, etc. Upon deletion and reinstallation, iPhoto started working again!
Thank you so much!

Problem with iPhoto 7 import

Hi,
I find a big problem with iPhoto 7 and import !
I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
It is only in iPhoto.
If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...
Have you a solution?
Regards,

all my photos are in jpeg in high resolution
It is very important because if we want to produce an album we must send a high resolution, but they are only 1mo to 2mo by photo not 35mo...
iPhoto not import grayscale? ...
I you produce in RGB photos are biggers...
It is really a bad news
The problem I have some colors photos with this bug...

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and 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.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
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 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.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.

I have a problem with Iphoto. I have approximately 28000 photos. Recently all but 5000 have disappeared. I can not find and restore them. Any suggestions?

I have a problem with Iphoto '06. I have approximately 28000 photos. Recently all but 5000 have disappeared. I can not find or restore them. Any suggestions?

This is what the inside of an iPhoto 6 library looks like:
Where in there did you look for the image files?
Did you run any updaters pror to discovering the missing photos? What fixes have you tried? Do you have a backup of the library on another hard drive?

Problems with iPhoto 7.1

Hope someone may help me with this. I just downloaded the iLife update and the new iPhoto 7.1 (and of course Gargeband etc.) and by opening iPhoto it does load the library, but then some menu functions do not work. Preferences does not open, the slideshow button does not work. It only shows the busy icon and I'll have to do a force stop. The message reads: 'iPhoto not reponding'. Before the update I never had problems with iPhoto.
Thanks! Edward from the Netherlands

Edward:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The slideshow button will work but it's very, very, very slow. Try again and let it sit for a while. It sometimes takes up to 30 seconds to open fully. It's the same with the Preferences. The latest update has made it slow to open the first time. After that it seemed to work OK for me. Be sure to post your problems at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports the better.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What is the problem with IPhoto ´11 when I am uploading a photobook to apple store, there is always an error. Anyone ???

What is the problem with IPhoto ´11 when I am uploading a photobook to apple store, there is always an error. Anyone ???
evrything is right wite my appleID.

First try to create a pdf file of the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it.
If you are unsuccessful in creating the pdf file then boot into Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode and try again. If that works you can continue and order the book while in Safe Mode.
Be sure to keep the pdf file of the book to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.
