How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any ideas?

You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
Not tidy but it seems it will work.
Ciao.

    Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

  • How do you delete photos from an iphone 5 using ios7 that have been uploaded from a computer? Hitch: I no longer have the old computer.

    When I was upgrading from the iphone 4 to the iphone 5, i uploaded all of the pictures from the iphone 4 to my computer and then added them to the iphone 5. I no longer have the laptop that the pictures were uploaded to (crashed). There are several pictures that I now wish to remove from my iphone 5 that had been uploaded from the old laptop but am unable to do so. I googled it many times and everything says go back and sync via itunes yadda yadda. i get that part, but i don't have access to the photos anymore from a laptop, only on my phone. when i try to select the photos and delete them, the trash symbol is greyed out. any suggestions or am I just stuck wtith these photos on the iphone 5?

    Syncing with iTunes is completely separate from and not related to importing photos and videos from your iPhone's camera roll with your computer.
    Have you imported photos from the Camera Roll previously with your computer?
    What are you using for the import with your computer?
    When I import with my Mac, I'm provided an option to delete the just imported photos and videos from the iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If I choose no, with the next import I'm alerted about the photos/videos being previously imported by my computer - do I want to re-import and replace what was previously imported, or ignore the previously imported content and only import the new content that has not been imported.

  • How do I send photos from my iPad mini by email.i have been through the process but it does not send

    I Am trying to send my photos from my photo app. I have an iPad mini. I have done all that is required
    but the email was not received/sent. What can I do?

    As an experiment and an alternative troubleshooting step, try sending the photo directly from the mail app and not from the photos app.
    Start typing and email and then hold down anywhere in the body of the email until a black options bar pops up Select Insert Photo or Video from that options bar. A window will pop up with your photos in it. Choose any photo. Then try to send the email.
    If that works, the issue could be in the photos app. Try force closing the photos app, reset the iPad like Carolyn described and the try again from the Photos App.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I bought my wife an iPad, iTV and iPhone and everything works great. But now I'm getting an iPhone and I'm not sure how to set it up. So far all our iTunes purchases have been under her account. So how do we share everything, but have different accounts?

    Things have just kind of escalated. We started with the ipad and she really liked it. Then we were given an itv and it worked so nicely with the ipad, that we decided to get her an iphone. We've been buying music, tv shows, movies, taking photos, looking at them on the tv using photostream. But now I'm getting an iphone and plan to by a macbook or mac mini some time soon, and I'm wondering how I can setup my own account but still have all this really nice seamless sharing across devices. If I buy an album on my phone, I'd like to be able to play it on the itv (which is setup with my wifes account). And so forth.
    I hope I've explained my concern and someone can point out how to set things up so that things remain as seamless and easy as they are now.
    Thanks.

  • File could not be written....is the problem when trying to import any photo from my hard drive.. I have just downloaded lightroom 5 and it does not seem to want to link with my photos .. win 7

    question

    Could you quote the entire error message, word-for-word, verbatim? What Import settings are you using ... Copy, Move, Add?
    Most likely you have a permissions issue, but it will be much more clear to me if I can see the entire message.

  • When I downloaded IOS 5, I inadvertantly downloaded thousands of songs (mostly not from Itunes).  Now I don't have room to download my magazines.  I don't use my IPad for music, so I want to delete it, but I on't want to lose my ITunes account. Any ideas?

    When I downloaded IOS5, I accidentally downloaded thousands of songs, so now I have no room to download my magazines.  How can I delete the music from my IPad without losing my ITunes account.  I listen to my music from another medium and I don't need it on my IPad.  any good suggestions?

    Your iTunes account is totally separate from your iPad. If you delete music from the iPad it will still be in your iTunes library on your computer. I don't keep much, if any, music at all on my iPad because I just don't need it. I still listen to that music on my iPhone, my iPod classic, and my iMac.

    I doubt that apple team sends this kind of emails. At the best, they may ask you to change your password, but not to reaquest to provide one.

  • When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them.  Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

    You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

  • I'm trying a full restore in Lion, but it won't. States that there isn't enough space on the Mac HD. How do I restore everything from a recent Time Machine Backup?

    I'm trying a full restore in Lion, but it won't. States that there isn't enough space on the Mac HD. How do I restore everything from a recent Time Machine Backup?

    Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

  • I have been storing my music and photos in an external drive how to I transfer them to Time Capsule now that I acquired one?

    I have been storing my music and photos in an external drive to save disk space in my computer. Now that I purchased the Time Capsule what do I have to do to transfer such files to my time capsule?

    I have been storing my music and photos in an external drive to save disk space in my computer
    How have you been backing up the data on your computer and the external drive up until now?
    I assume that you want to use the Time Capsule to back up your Mac and the external drive. Is that correct?

  • I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
    processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
    ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
    Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
    unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
    preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
    Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
    There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
    to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
    still import the JPEGS.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • I have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

    i have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

    Formatting will erase the drive.
    You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
    For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.
