hey guys, recently i spent 6 months traveling the world.

at home i have an iMac, but while i was traveling i would just use other peoples pc's and transfer my shots from camera to computer then burn a disc.

now that i'm home i haven't been able to view or upload these shots onto my computer? anyone know how....?

Insert into the computer and open the finder and read the click on the cd. If the computer isn't reading the CD I couldn't tell you over the internet.

Take the photos out of iPhoto and put them into a folder on the desktop. Then burn a disk using Finder. Works every time......

My bad.... I was thinking about going the other way. Going from PC to mac you just need to be sure the photos are burned as jpeg. Again I put the files in a folder on the desktop and burn them from there. Some of the photo software programs add a few files to make it easy to preview (thumbnail files) or play as slideshow but a mac can't make sense of them.

You should be able to just drag the files off the CD in the finder. If your iMac isn't able to read the disc I suggest you find another PC and see if you can manipulate files there into something usable. Have you tried using stuffit on the files? They may be compressed.
