I am using an eMac with system 10.4.1 ------ I have burned to CDs but
nothing shows up on them.  The CD/DVD drive whirs away.  Disk Utility
(v. 10.5.6) says that it is burning a CD.  When it's finished the CD
is empty and I have no access to it.  Since there is plenty of space

I was horrified when opening iPhoto (5.0.4) today that my whole iPhoto
library seems to have vanished.  I tend not to use iPhoto much so hadn't been
