MacBook Pro
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.
OT
I am using the iphoto 2011 9.2.1 version and do it via the Share -> Burn menu. and no i cant find the disc on the finder. i have tried slower speed and im not sure how much space i have on here. im pretty sure not much because i have 3,000 photos.
no im sorry i updated it to 10.7 but when i go to iphoto info it still has version 9.2.1
Updating to Lion doesn't change the iPhoto version. They are two separate entities.
To see the disc on the Desktop go to the Finder's View Options
and set them to show disks, drives, CDs, etc.
Are you trying to create a mini library on disc for use by iPhoto?
thank you for helping me. no im not trying to create a mini library im just selecting photos and trying to burn them to a dvd or cd
Download a free burn utility such as Burn and run it in test mode (so it doesn't waste a CD by actually burning it) and see if you have general burn errors vs. iPhoto specific ones.
Then you should assemble them in an album first. Then select all of them and use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.
In the file export pane select the options you want and export to a folder on the Dekstop. Then insert a blank disk in the optical drive and when it appears on the Desktop drag the folder onto the disk's icon. Drag the disk icon to the Trash which turns into a burn icon to burn to disk.
Select your Mac's hard drive, type Command+i to bring up the Info window for it. There you will see how much free space you have on your hard drive. What is it?
Also you can select the folder on the Desktop and do the same to see how bit it is. If it's over 650 MB you'll need a DVD disk.
that done it!! thank you so much for helping me!
