O.K., folks, here is how I burned 1121 photos from iPhoto to CD, so
that non-iPhoto people can view the photos without having to open 365
folders, and without the conflicts of photos that have the same name.
(1) In iPhoto, I duplicated the Photo Album of the basketball photos,
gave it another name, and worked from that album.
(2) I created a folder on my desktop to receive photos.
(3) I selected one group of photos at a time, and dragged them to the
new folder on my desktop.
If there were no duplicate photos and everything copied into the
folder, then I deleted the still-highlighted photos from that photo
album (just hit "delete").
If there WERE duplicate photos (a little prompt would come up), then
I did NOT finish the copy process and I did not delete that row in
iPhoto.
I continued to do this row by row until I had gone through all the
photos.
(4) I went back through the iPhoto Album, this time selecting smaller
groups of photos. I repeated step 4.
The final result was over 800 photos that copied to the first folder,
with a little over 300 left that had duplicate names. I felt this
was good enough for the first folder, and began another folder.
(5) I did the same process with a second, third, and fourth folder.
They each ended up with about 40 photos.
(6) There were now 33 photos left so I began renaming them in the
lower left corner of the iPhoto window. When I then dragged them to
my next folder, I found that the computer did not recognize the new
names, but still read them with their original names. As a result, I
created two more folders to take care of the rest.
I closed iPhoto and burned the folders to 3 CDs. I found that folder
"a" by itself was too large to fit on one CD, so I split it into
folders "a1", "a2", and "a3", in addition to "b", "c", "d", "e", and
"f" which were already created.
Folder "a1" is on "CD1". Folder "a2" is on "CD2". The remaining
folders are on "CD3". They open in my son's PC nicely. I have taken
them to Kinko's to confirm that they will work in their kiosk.
Someone on the list mentioned to make sure that iPhoto is not the
only place you save your photos. Having juggled this situation
around for five months, I agree. Thanks for all the input on this
issue over the past few days. I will check out other apps to have
that backup system. (Or maybe iPhoto will be the backup.)
