Want to burn photos onto disk

Hi - I've never done this on a mac before. I have the hardest time adjusting to this mac world, they always say drag and drop but I get into so much trouble when I try it. For instance I thought I could drag an events folder on to the desktop and then plop it onto the CD. Well, the CD is not showing up anywhere (yes, it's in the computer). So now I'm trying to drag the photos to my trash can but it will only let me do one photo at a time and I have 100 photos!
Now onto my original question, I need to burn a cd to be used on a windows computer and from the help menu they said to go to the finder, find the library and share/burn . Can't find anything from the finder.

I need to burn a cd to be used on a windows computer
Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
Export them to a Folder on the Desktop
Insert a Blank CD into your Mac
Not showing on the Desktop? Then in the FInder Menu -> Preferences: General "SHow These Items on the Destop" and make sure CD's are checked.
Drag the Folder of Images to the Blank CD
FIle -> Burn.

Burning photos to disk in OSX 10.9.2

Hi I have recenty had difficulty burning photos to disk. Not everyone wants Dropbox or Cloud solutions! I checked on this forum and found no answers that worked with OSX 10.9.2. This version of the OS appears geared to cloud facebook and email sharing. So here's what I found works...
Insert blank CD or DVD
Open Finder which will show Untitled Disk which awaits your chosen content, to be burned
open i Photo
select files/photos you wish to burn
from "File" drop down menuclick on "reveal in Finder" - that is the crucial step
Drag these on to "untitled dvd" in finder window
Click on "Burn" in Finder window
if it asks you to insert blank Disk, eject disk and reinsert
It works for me!

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R.

I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD from Finder, but my iMac won't recognize either a CD-R or a DVD-R. Any clues? Nothing shows up in Finder as far as a Device, and I have a message telling me to "Insert a blank disc to begin" and that I will need a disc with at least "47.6 MB"--it's only 18 photos, and I need to burn them for a parent of a student (I'm a teacher). I have tried several different discs, so it's not the actual CD or DVD.

Create a new folder. Place the photos in that.
From the Finder File menu choose New Burn Folder. That will appear on your desktop. Place the folder of photos you created into that.
Now open Disk Utility and you will see that Burn Folder listed. Choose Burn from the menu.

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the substitutes. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.

With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

Burn Photos onto CD

It keeps saying unknown error when I try to burn photos onto a cd. How can I fix this?

Are you using iPhoto to do this or something else?
Are you able to burn CD for other purposes, such as making a music CD in iTunes or a data CD with the Finder?
Are you using CD-Rs or CD-RW disks?
Have you tried a different brand of CDs? Sometimes this will help.
Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

Burning photos onto a dvd

I am trying to burn photos onto a DVD and I always get an error that I need to remove the number of photos selected becayse the file is too big. Is there anyway to see how much space I have as I am adding images? thanks

I find the "burn folder" very useful. While in the fFinder, click the file menu:
and select "New Burn Folder." Like Klaus says, it gives you a size as you populate it. I like these because I can have a folder ready to burn when someone asks for a CD or DVD of images, or when I need to make multiple copies.
A burn folder is easy to spot because it gets a different icon (this is from OS 10.6.8):
and you can rename it anyway your like (ex., "2012 Family Reunion")

Failing to burn photos onto a disc

When I try to burn photos onto a USB SuperDrive it fails. It worked before, but now it says "The burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. The disc drive didn't respond properly and cannot recover or retry." Is there anything I can do?

Hi Old Toad, thanks for the reply. I've been busy the last couple of days and haven't been able to get back onto the forum until now. I'm trying to burn from iPhoto - I'm not sure how to from Finder and can't seem to find a path for that. If that works then that would save me a bit of hassle to be honest. The weird thing is that while trying to burn photos onto a disc (and wasting about 14 of them in the process) I tested it on an iTunes playlist and that worked without a hitch. I'll explore Finder, but if you could give me a few pointers it would be appreciated.
I'm using Mountain Lion on a MacBook Air that is coming up for a year old, which was bought at the same time as the SuperDrive.

Problem burning photos to disk

iPhoto won't burn photos to disk. says disk i erased is full. do i need to format disk, or what?

What do you wnat to do? the share ==> burn command in iPhoto creates a mini iPhoto library - for just the photos for use other than with iPhoto select the photo(s) and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder - right click on the folder and burn to disk
As to erasing the disk - try a new, fresh one - for specific question on how your optical drive works ask in the hardware forum for it or for your computer if it is built in

HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc. I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive. However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive. How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

What kind of DVD disk do you want to create? A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set. They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
For a data disk:
1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu. Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
For a video DVD disk:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Burning photos onto DVD

I have a folder on my desktop with 96 photos that I want to burn onto a dvd. I keep trying to burn it and it stops with the error code 0X8002006D. Maybe there are too many photos? Each photo is about 2.8MB in size. If that is too big, how do I make them smaller?

Looks like that error is associated with bad or incompatible media. See this thread:

I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

How are you burning the photos to the disc? Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto. The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
What system and iPhoto version are you using? How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro?
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?
Describe in detail what you're trying so we have a better understanding and can better offer a solution.

I want to burn photos to a dvd disc. I have done this before. Error message coming up. There is enough room on disc.

I am trying to burn photos from my library to free up space on my mac. I am down to 13 gb. Every time I burn a dvd with a couple of hundred pics it comes up "burn failed" optic drive. I have burned in the past. What is the problem?

Try freeing up space BEFORE you trying burning a DVD.

Having a hard time with burning photos onto a CD...

Whew! I just found the photos I thought I had deleted this morning, they're in my Finder, inside the iPhoto Library. Now I'm having a hard time trying to burn them onto a CD. The size is 232 MB and my MacBook is OSX Lepard. Would you tell me how to do it step by step? I'm not good at this stuff. Thank you in advance for your help.

It is simple......
