Does it?
My cousin sent me a photo cd of old family photos. She said I should just insert the disk & they would pop up, but they don't. I am new to Apple, & get easily confused...
I am using a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help me??? Thank you ![]()

I had some pictures scanned to a disc at Wal-mart however, I'm not able to open it up on my Mac Book Pro.
I checked to make sure the pictures were on the disc before leaving the store so I know that's not the issue.
Also, what do you mean by 'finalize' the disc
- in modern day vernacular please.
Thanks
When a disc is burned but not finalized, it is possible to add more data (photo's) to the disc.
Sounds good in theory but can cause problems like the one you are experiencing. The disc will work fine on the machine it was recorded on but not work at all in others.
This problem is avoided if the disc is finalized on completion of the burning process. This is done by default on a Mac when you burn from the Finder.
This effectively closes off the disc and prevents any further data from being put on it.
In this state, the disc is usually playable on all types of CD or DVD player.
Take the disc back to Walmart and get them to finalize the disc for you.
See the post by Bob for further information.
