TRASH AND BURN!
I've got more than 20,000 pix in IPhoto 6 and with everything else am down to my last 10 per cent of disk space. Yikes...
So, I've been brutal for once. And the great hoarder that I am has dumped 6,000 pix into trash thinking I could burn them before removing totally.
Alas, I can't find a way of doing this, other than to reimport them into the main library. In which case, I'd be back to square one after weeks of pruning. This would mean that the pix which are currently ready for the axe being littered all over the place again throughout my library - they don't even seem to come up as 'last import' when returned.
I should, of course, have put them all into a new folder called, say, Burn, done the deed and and then trashed them, but pix in trash won't go to other folders - just back to the main library.
I've also tried moving trash pix into a burn folder and that hasn't worked either.
Any other ideas before I simply self-destruct my 6,000 - by trashing the trash!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think you've gotten yourself between a rock and a hard spot. I know of now way to get those photos grouped together in the main library directly from the Trash bin. You can't even assign a keyword to them there.
You can, however, drag them from the Trash bin to a folder on the Desktop and then burn them just as jpgs. That would work. But a warning: be sure you drop them into the folder and not miss it and put them all in the Desktop. That can bring the computer to it's knees. Best to open the folder and make it a large target for dragging and dropping.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

A new folder came onto my desktop called burn folder but I did not create it. I put it into trash and deleted it. It says itr was created yesterday with my hotmail emial account. Does it mean my macbook pro has been hacked or has a virus?
I doubt it, a burn folder is just a temporary folder that hold aliases of the locations of files so you don't have to move the orignais.
One you burned a disk and are done, you simply trash the burn folder.
However Hotmail is a dangerous place, you REALLY should opt to use GMail. Yahoo mail is kind of safe, they had malware on the adds on their site though.
Apply your Software Update, download the free ClamXav and run a scan on your drive just to see if you have downloaded something.
Also you should consider upgrading to 10.6 as this allows you to keep using more recent versions of Flash which are more secure than 10.5 versions. Also 10.6 strips out a lot of PowerPC code your not using, makes your computer faster with video driver updates.
Also run ALL of the free OnyX's cleaning and maintainence aspects for your OS version and reboot, should clean out the caches and possible glitches this might be.

IDVD ejects during multiplexing and burning
Hi folks,
I've used iDVD previously (several times) to create DVDs of movies I've created in FCE4. Today, the program goes so far, then ejects the disk during the "multiplexing and burning" / "writing lead-in" portion. When I check, there's nothing on the disk. Anyone every experience this? And, if you know, please advise as to how I might fix the problem.
Thanks very much for your expertise.
VicMultiplexing Error
Hi
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.

"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error

Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
One user more writes
To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

Dodging and burning tool freeze up on CC 2104
I have recently subscribed to CC Photoshop 2104 and when using the burn tool the programme just hangs, or takes a very long time to complete the action. i have to close down lose my work and re-open. Dont know how to fix it, help?
I recognize that you want to use the Dodge and Burn tools for local tone adjustment, but it would be to your advantage to use another approach for dodge and burn. Consider this:
Dodge and burn, techniques that provide subtle local adjustments in the tone values of an image, are familiar to anyone who has worked in a film & paper darkroom. Photoshop’s similarly named tools have one notable shortcoming; each dodge or burn dab is incorporated into the image. This makes it impractical or impossible to undo one or more of the changes minutes later, when other dabs have been added elsewhere in the image. Instead, you must then pile correction on correction rather than modifying the original image values. It is an inefficient and often destructive procedure.
There is a better way – one that puts the dodge and burn adjustments on a separate layer where they may be seen at any time and each adjusted or even eliminated, returning the area to its original value – all without corrupting the original image. This is how to do it:
1. Load a file to be retouched and add a blank layer by clicking on the Create a New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel to the left of the Trash. The blank layer is Layer 1.
2. Choose Edit > Fill and from the double-arrow options of the Use field, choose 50% gray. Then click OK. The image area will become gray overall.
3. Change the Blending mode in the Layers panel from Normal to Overlay. The Background image will return although you will be working on Layer 1.
4. Do not use the Dodge and Burn tools. Choose the Brush tool and adjust its size by tapping either of the square brackets to the right of the P key on the keyboard. To adjust the Brush hardness – a soft edge is best for this -- hold down the Shift key as you continually strike the left the square bracket. Set the Opacity of the Brush in the Options bar at about 10%.
5. Painting in white will Dodge (lighten) the area, Black will Burn (darken) the area. Strike the D key to place Black as the Foreground color and White as the Background color. To transpose them stroke the X key. Dab or stroke with the Black to slowly add density. To lighten an area, dab or stroke with White. Although the image will reflect the changes, they are being recorded on Layer1 and may be viewed by turning off the eye in the Background layer. Best of all: to undo any tone adjustment and return the area to its original value, simply return that area to 50% by cloning from an adjacent unretouched area in Layer 1. -

My movie is a wedding, so it's 1 hr 35 min long. I've used 3 songs from iTunes and no other outside audio. I've tried the following already:
Changing the encoding settings from Best Performance to Professional Quality. (becuase an error came up saying movie is too long, change encoder setting)
Changing the Single-Layer Disc to Double-Layer Disc.
Splitting the video into 2 parts to make it shorter.
Getting rid of the noise reduction on a few of the clips.
Optimize--Full.
I get things that say 'error -41' etc. but I googled this and nothing came up as to what that error code means.
Is the amount of free space I have on my Mac a possible problem as well? I have 40 GB available. I tried moving all of the rejected clips to the trash and an error came up saying not enough space to delete.
Can I uninstall '11 and go back to using '09??Hi
Error -41 mFulErr Memory full (open) or file won't fit (load)
So if You've really got 40Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk - Others DO NOT count as neither iDVD or Mac OS can use space there for it's temp files.
Then I would close down Mac even disconnect Mains - Then re-start it and see if it got's it's memory right.
Else
• Audio from iTunes - use to give me problems - so I do - in iTunes
• collect the needed audio into a new PlayList
• Burn this out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) - NOT .mp3
• Use thge files on this CD in movie projects
Works for me.

Earlier today Firefox crashed. Later a window came up, with the rest of the screen grayed-out, saying there is suspicious programs on my 'pc' (wrong because I have an iMac) and it will run a scan to see if there are any suspicious programs. I immediately quit Firefox, with an additional window popping up asking if I really wanted to quit the page, that data may be lost. I quit. I tried restarting my computer, but in opening Firefox, it did the same thing. I then tried to delete FF by dragging it from my appl. folder to trash and reinstalling using Safari. Did this several times with the same result...still get the popup window saying the same thing each time.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?
Bill MartinI can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu. -

I have a lot of photos in my trash bin and was thinking about emptying the trash. However, I got a message that said that if emptied, I would not be able to recover them. I chickened out. I looked at several pictures in the trash and noticed that they were the same pictures in albums that I had created. I compared the numbers shown on those pictures in the trash and found that they were the same as the numbers shown in on the pictures in the albums that I had created. I would like to delete the pictures to create more space, but I don't want to lose pictures that I can't replace.
yes - albums are not copies or places - they are pointers in the databae pointing to the photo in the library - you can see it in an album, under photos or under events - but it is all the same photo - if you delete it it is gone everyplace - and no additiponal space is used for an album (or many albums - a photo can be in many albums without using any additional space
Only put photos that you do not want to keep in the trash
How much free space do you have on the disk volume that the iPhoto library is on?

Applescript: File remains "open" even if trashed and gone
re: simple text file written in AS alone, outside Finder:
1. I write to a file like this:
set thisFile to open for access aFilePath with write permission
— do stuff
close access thisFile
As long as "do stuff" executes OK., the close access is hit and I can use the file over and over. I have no problems with this script. But:
2. If “do stuff” hits an error, it leaves me with an unusable file. Even when the file is trashed and gone (Secure Empty Trash), if I ever try to use the same file name, AS will first create the file, but immediately pop an error that that file is already open before I can do anything else. The system is remembering the file name and flagging it as open (apparently).
3. So I try to close it:
set thisFile to file aFilePath
close access thisFile
and I get no error on the first line but a “ ... [correct path to "thisFile"] cannot be made into type file" error on the second line.
Question 1: If "thisFile" is a file on the first line, then why not on the second? Why does "close access" which works in item 1 above, fail here?
So any new file name works as long as "doStuff" works, but I can't use any file name that didn't close the first time through. I cannot seem to close the file after the fact, even when it's been trashed.
Question 2: how do I tell the system that this file is not open or does not exist?
Great thanks for your help!I'm guessing that this is happening to you while running the script in the script editor.
When a script is run in the editor it is the editor that actually has the file open and if the script exits without closing the file the editor gets hung. Any open files are automatically closed when the application exits but as it is the editor that has the file open the file is not closed when the script exits only when the editor exits. So one work around is to close the editor and restart it.
However the correct way to handle this is to the file work in a try on error block. See Introduction to AppleScript Language Guide specifically the section Close access, the command used to close an open file, for more details.
The basic idea
set aFile to choose file
set fp to open for access aFile
try
--file reading and writing here
on error e number n
--deal with errors here and don't resignal
end try
close access fp -
How to open and burn some QuickTime videos?
A friend uploaded some Quicktime videos for me and I've tried to save them to my desktop by using file>save as. But then, the desktop icon won't open, and I haven't a clue as to how to burn them even if I could play them:-(
TIA!!If you use a DVD and burn it all you will be doing is copying the movie file. You will not be able to play it on your DVD player (if that's what you want to do). To recode the movie to play on a player or through DVD Player on your Mac you need a program like Toast Titanium. Other than that you can insert a blank DVD into the optical drive and burn a copy of the movie.
