Need help burning a file of jpg images to a CD

I have a folder on my desktop with 17 jpg images ranging in size from 250 KB to 500 KB that I need to burn onto a CD (I've never burned a CD before). I inserted a blank CD into the slot on my MacBook Pro, waited for a file to pop up, named the file, then dragged the file to the CD icon in Finder. I scrolled to "Burn CD" and clicked on that. Took only a couple of minutes for the computer to tell me it was finished, so I ejected the CD. When I reinserted the CD, however, nothing happened. I expected a screen to pop up with the images I thought I had saved. Am I using the wrong kind of CD? The one I used is a Maxell CD-RMax with 80 min/700 MB storage. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Elyartist,


Here are the suggested steps for burning the pictures onto a CD:


iPhoto '11: Create your own photo CDs and DVDs

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2436


This is the section that is most like what you are already doing (skip to step 6):

To create a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo-processing company:

  1. In iPhoto, select the photos, albums, or video clips you want to burn to a disc.
  2. Choose File > Export.
  3. In the Export Photos window, click File Export, and then select your options.For best results, choose JPEG, Maximum, and Full Size. For more information, see Export a photo.
  4. When you’re ready, click Export, and export the photos to a folder on your computer.
  5. When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
  6. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and then insert a CD-RW disc or a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
  7. Drag the folder that contains your exported photos to the disc’s icon.
  8. When the files have been copied, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.

The article contains some basic causes for this issue as well.


Cheers!

Hi Elyartist,


No problem! We have this article for Aperture:


Aperture: How to burn images to optical media

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4835


If you're still unable to burn the disc as desired, I would suggest a different support direction and, due to the nature of your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources:

I hope this helps!
