Share - Burn option in IPhoto - not working like I thought it would

Hi
I have selected 67 photos in iphoto - totalling 206MB in size. I want to burn these to a CD Rom to give to a friend to use as jpegs
I select Share - Burn and insert a blank CD ROM
I get the error message "There is not enough space on the disc to burn all the photos you selected."
But the disk can take 700MB????
Then I try by exporting the same photos to a folder on my mac, and then burning these to the CDROM outside of iPhoto - and that works fine
So why does the SHARE - BURN option not work in iPhoto in this way?
Many thanks

The Share -> Burn option creates a "mini" iPhoto Library on the disk, including all the versions, thumbnails, databases and so on. It's designed for sharing with another iPhoto user.
If you just want to share the photos the File -> Export option is the way to go.
Regards

  • Burn command in iPhoto not working

    The Burn command in iPhoto 5.0.4 Share menu stopped working with 2 Pioneer burners installed in my G4 MDD. The only change I made some time before this problem started was OS X 10.4.10 update. Everything worked fine in 10.4.9.
    Now whenever I click on Burn in iPhoto, it seems to start burning, but changes almost immediately to "finishing burn" and the following message is displayed depending on the drive selected:
    "The burn to the PIONEER DVD–RW DVR-104(or PIONEER DVD–RW DVR–111) drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
    The disc remains unused and can be successfully burned in another application.
    Both burners work OK in Disk Utility and in Roxio Toast.
    I am rather concerned with this problem and will appreciate any help. Thanks. Josef

    I have resolved my problem, and thought I'd share the solution.
    1. tested burning to a DVD directly from finder. Worked fine. so I knew the media was fine, and the hardware was fine, and the driver was fine.
    2. Therefore, problem is iPhoto. But what?
    3. From iPhoto, export your photos (same set you wanted to burn) to a folder somewhere. In my case, this action FAILED. Some of the files could NOT be created. By looking at the files exported before the failure, I could determine which photo was "bad". Tried opening that photo for editing in iPhoto, and it was not there! There was a thumbnail, and file info, but no actual photo.
    4. I searched the iphoto directory structure and found that the original photo file was there. So, from iphoto I selected the bad photo and did "revert to original". That worked, and now I could see the photo in iphoto edit mode.
    5. Try exporting to a folder again. Again...find another bad photo...repeat above process....until you can successfully export all the photos you want to burn.
    6. Now, try burning to DVD from iPhoto again. For me...this step worked. Yay.
    I have no idea how I got so many corrupted photos in my library. But, I suspect is was a result of a couple years of collecting photos and moving iphoto libraries around, etc. I spent a whole day fixing up all the corrupted photos in a 7,000 photo library. Ouch. But now, burning works fine.
    The real problem here is that iPhoto doesn't give a useful error message when it can't burn the image.
    I hope this procedure helps someone.

  • "Share" file option to Outlook not working in Finder

    Hi all
    I'm on Yosemite 10.10 and Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.5.
    I want to sent a file attached to an email straight from Finder using the "Share" option but nothing happens when I click the share icon and then select Mail option.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    hi,
    i tried -
    <?xdoxslt:xdo_format_number_l(sum(OutboundPayment/PaymentAmount/Value),'00000000000000000D00','US-us')?>
    <?xdoxslt:xdo_format_number_l(sum(OutboundPayment/PaymentAmount/Value),'00000000000000000D00','EN-us')?>
    <?xdofx:to_char(sum(OutboundPayment/PaymentAmount/Value),‘00000000000000000.00’)?>
    however on the rtf i get a squiggly line under <?xdoxslt:expression?> and in the eText output file i get ???????? against the record that has the
    <?xdoxslt:expression?> function indicating syntax error.
    i am not sure if i can use <?xdoxslt:expression?>/<?xdofx:expression?> fns in a eTEXT-outbound template
    any suggestions ?
    thank you.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work.  Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

    in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
    Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
    I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
    This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
    When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

    Hello SajidChaudhary,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

  • When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

    when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
    what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
    can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
