I've used Wal-Mart and Target with no problems reading their CDs.

Initialize is not really an option with a CD (or DVD) as they are removable media. In most cases, you do not want to Initialize because in most cases your intent is NOT to ERASE your disc and start over. In some cases, perhaps it is. But be very careful not to lose irreplaceable data.

Your computer is not recognizing the disc formatting on this CD. "Picture CD" format is an odd one, and not one I have experience with. Perhaps the provider of the CD can offer some assistance.

Do you have Toast or Dragon Burn? Try mounting the disc while one of those apps is active. Dragon Burn offers a free trial of its software available for download at MacUpdate or VersionTracker.com.

Had film developed and got a CD. Put it in my Mac and message pops up
"This disc is unreadable by this computer. Do you want to initialize the
disc? Should I click "initialize"
Sorry for this question but I am a rank amateur.

Thanks, Richard in San Diego
