Can't Access iphoto Library on Time Capsule

I can’t access one of my iphoto’s library on time capsule. I tried the permission keys- alt+cmd- fix and the Caution warning still pops up. All my libraries are working fine, but this particular one hasn’t allow me to enter the permissions fix window despite is set up as a default library- Your help much appreciate it. Thanks!

Have you opened this one over a wireless connection in the past?
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

Access iPhoto library in time capsule

Hello,
I have my iPhoto library in time capsule. Everything is ok with my mac, view, edit, stream, etc.
But some times I dont bring my Mac home, and I would like access my library from my iPad and if possible stream to apple tv, like i do it from Mac.
Since its not possible to access my library with iPhoto for iOS, is there any app that does it?
Thanks,
ruirego

No. The two iPhoto apps have only their name in common. There's no interaction between the two possible. You can send a feature requres to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/.

Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

We can tell you that it is possible to store separate images on the Time Capsule drive. If however, you are asking if you can access separate images from your Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule, this is not possible.
How you get the images that your want from iPhoto on your Mac to the Time Capsule drive is a question for the iPhoto experts. It will likely involve "exporting" the files that you want and then moving them using the Finder to the Time Capsule drive.
How you access those images on the Time Capsule from an iPad is a question for the Using iPad experts.

Can i access my data on time capsule from some other network

can i access my data on time capsule from some other network that is my data at home from office over internet

There is plenty of info out there if you google..
Here is a summary I just put into another thread.
Remote access has been added back into iCloud that was in MobileMe..
Read the info on setting it up from cloud service.. BTMM.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you want to do it without the cloud service, you have one major issue.. the public IP for WAN..
The internal IP of the TC.. which will default to 10.0.1.1 btw.. is irrelevant. It is the IP of the WAN which you use to access the TC over the internet. And here you have a problem.. the TC does not include dyndns service. So unless you have a static IP address from your ISP, this will cause you grief.
(If it is offered by your ISP.. get a static IP.. that eliminates all the issues.. and is far superior. Even dyndns service has issues if your public IP rotates too often. It is generally an extra cost item and requires a business account but some ISP offer it cheap or even free.. I joined an ISP that offered static ip for free because it gives me the ability to remote access my network without all the hassles you will see below.)
There are ways around it.. setting up your own domain for instance.
http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
But it is easier to simply use a different router.. almost all of them have dyndns service available.. place the TC behind the router in bridge and forward port 548 TCP to it.
This is a bit old but still relevant.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
Note .. there is no ftp, http, ssh (there is actually but it isn't accessible), or any other service to allow connection other than AFP.. so you must use a Mac in remote location to access the TC.
The setup for the two methods is slightly different in the TC.. in the first instance, you need to turn on WAN access via disk sharing page in the manual setup.
In the second case you do not need this.
Remember security and put strong passwords on the disk. There are still security questions about this.
If security is important.. there is a third and better (IMO) method and that is vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router as TC also missed out on that.. establish a vpn with the main router and that will allow you access to your network.. you will also then be able to use SMB remotely not just AFP.
Also if this office is a large company they should be running a firewall, which would block your access to home. You should check your IT admin people for what is allowed.. generally the only acceptable method is vpn otherwise you can drag viruses and trojans right into the network without the firewall catching them.

Recover the iphoto library to a different location eg, a USB drive.. since there could be issues with the new photo app.

Can I store an iPhoto library on Time Capsule?

I would like to store my iPhoto library externally. Can I store it on my Time Capsule or do I need an additional, external hard drive?

I would like to store my iPhoto library externally. Can I store it on my Time Capsule
Please do NOT do this.
Access to the library will be very slow, even more so if you are using wireless. More importantly, there is a real danger that any break in communication between iPhoto and the iPhoto library will create a corruption issue that will likely affect the entire library, rendering it useless. Confirm with the experts in the iPhoto support area about this to verify.
iPhoto
In addition, if you move the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule......have you thought about how you will back up the iPhoto library that is on the Time Capsule? Obviously, you will still need another hard drive to backup the "original" iPhoto library on the Time Capsule.
A much better plan would be to connect a USB or FireWire drive directly to your Mac.....and move the iPhoto library to that hard drive. Access to the library will be fast....just as if the library was on your Mac's hard drive.
Then.....Time Machine can be set up to back up both your Mac and the hard drive to the Time Capsule. That would be a minimum backup plan. Many of us who value our images make additional copies of the library on yet another hard drive on a regular basis.

Can't restore iPhoto Library from Time Machine. Faults halfway through.

POSTED EARLIER ON iPHOTO 9 DISCUSSION-recommended checking here.
My wife is running a Mac Mini with iPhoto 9. She has let her hard drive space drop to about 4gigs. This morning, she opened iPhoto and nothing came up. I looked at some of the posts here and did the following 1) ran disk utility to repair permissions 2) removed enough files to get her available hard drive space above 10gigs. Mostly by moving to her external hard drive. 3) Based on what I was reading, I copied her iPhoto library and related files to a folder on her external drive. I then deleted the iPhoto library file itself. 4) I went into TimeMachine and ran it back to the last backup yesterday and asked it to Restore that file.
The process went forward smoothly until it hit about 5.5gigs of the 46.5gig file. At that point it stopped and a dialogue box said "the operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access iPhoto library". I ran it again---essentially it fails after restoring the thumbnails. I checked permissions for iPhoto and it shows 'read and write' as the settings.
Any suggestions? Is using Time Machine for this purpose not workable? Thanks in advance for your help.

Disk utility ran through the REPAIR disk function on the Time Machine drive and came back good. I then ran the VERIFY disk function on the Main disk and it also came back good. I was not offered a REPAIR disk option for the Main Disk.
No errors. Any other suggestions?

Restore just iPhoto Library from Time Capsule, to a new machine

Hi,
To free up space on my MacBook Pro, I backed up my iPhoto library to Time Machine before moving the library to a seperate external hard-drive. My EHD was excluded from automatic time machine backups, and when it subsequently got unrepairably damaged about 4 weeks later I lost about 4 weeks of photos - luckily not a big problem. I checked time-machine and my old iPhoto library was still there in an earlier backup, not the latest - naturally that shows the current state of my MPB without an iPhoto library.
Now, I'm trying to restore the iPhoto library to a Mac Mini rather than to my MacBook Pro, however, I'm not having much luck. I've tried the following:
Use migration assistant, selecting only photos - this created a new account, (even though I didn't want it to) but the photo library was blank. I think this may be because my last time-machine back up was after I'd moved iPhoto to an EHD
Use finder to navigate to the correct iPhoto folder in time-machine... I get an error message saying I don't have permission to access the file
I have used the same apple ID when setting up the the Mac Mini as I did on the MBP, but the accounts have slightly different names.
I would appreciate any help you could give.

Setup Assistant would be my recommendation for this if possible.
Migration Assistant can work, but there may be some issues with file ownership and permissions.

HELP! can't access iphoto library back up

I backed up my whole iphoto library (17K pix) onto a G drive so I could have more space on my laptop. When I was finished, I checked the G drive to make sure all the pix were there before deleting off the computer. They were. Today I went to access my old photos on my G drive and when I clicked on it, I got a message, can't access this library, it is being used as a time machine back up. What happened to my pix? Can I get them back for use? HELP!!!!

Can't reload iPhoto library from Time Machine

I ran into a problem with my iPhoto library this morning. I deleted it in its entirely, emptied iPhoto trash and then the general trash. When I tried to reinstall the iPhoto library from Time Machine, I was informed there was not sufficient free space on my hard drive to do so. I have a 500 GB hard drive and dumped over 4,000 pictures, yet had only 6 GB of space reported on my hard drive when I went to reload the library from Time Machine. I can't see how this is possible. I had sufficient space for the original library before I trashed it. According to the Information under File, I have pretty much the same amount of free space on my computer as I had before I dumped the library. I have run utilities (OnyX and Apple utilities). They identify no disk problems or problems of any kind. I've scanned for viruses. There are none. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do to restore my library other than buy a new computer?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Computer: early 2008
Software: OSX 10.9.5

Reboot and check the free space again. If still at 6 GB Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and disk. Reboot normally and check again.
Lastly you may have to reindex your hard drive: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple

How can i open iPhoto Library on Time Machine after full Backup?

After i had a full backup to iomega external hard drive i wonted to see photos in iPhoto library by using Time Machine. I can see the iPhoto Library icon on
Time Machine, but when i click on an icon it does not open the folder and i can't see the pictures stored on iomega external hard drive. All other backed up
documents i can see and restore if i ineed it. Please help. Thank you.

Thank You for your help. I did what you sugested and it works. Only one more question. Just to make sure.
When you wrote: "Control-Click the iPhoto Library icon and choose Show Package Contents there will be a Masters folder with you photos inside."
Under Master folder did you mean LibraryiPhoto or something else?
Thank You

Can't access iPhoto library through IPhoto or Aperture. Keeps restarting the computer.

My library is on an external WD 6T drive. Recently, while flipping through an album, it locked up and shutdown the computer. Now it will restart the computer anytime I open either of the apps. And will stay in this cycle unless I disconnect the drive. I'm on a 27" iMac, with a 3.4G processor and 32G of RAM, running 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6 and Aperture 3.6. Disc Utility does not discern any problems and I'm considering purchasing Easy Recovery to see if that will do any good. I've also tried several things garnered from WD support, but again, to no avail.

Randy,
try to isolate the problem. We do not know yet, if your drive is malfunctioning, if the particular iPhoto/Aperture library is corrupted, or if you are having a general problem with your system.
In addition to LarryHN's advice I suggest the following:
Since your external drive may be failing, back up all data on that drive to a different drive as soon as possible, if you do not have a current backup. But do not overwrite any older backup you have, because you may need it.
Then test, if you can open any iPhoto Library on that drive at all. Create a new iPhoto library on that drive and try to open it there. Can you open new libraries on that drive?
If you cannot even open a new library on your external drive, there is no point in trying to open your main library there. Get the library off the drive to a different drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and try to open it on the different drive. Follow Larry's instructions to rebuild the library.

Help! How can I restore iTunes/iPhoto library from Time Capsule to new Mac?

Sorry to trouble you, because it looks like this should be an easy thing, but I can't find an answer anywhere...
I've got an 2008 MacBook Pro that suddenly began to suffer start up problems. Sometimes it boots to a black/grey screen and sometimes the screen/mouse freezes after only a few minutes of use.
I've borrowed my brother's Mac until I can find out how to get mine repaired, so I'd like to copy over my iTunes and iPhoto stuff from a Time Capsule (where I'm hoping it hasn't been damaged) to his Mac. I only want to copy the iTunes and iPhoto stuff, without filling up his computer with all my other junk.
Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

Hi ...
I've found a solution to my problem.
Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
(Thanks goes to Pondini!)

Setting up iPhoto Library on Time Capsule

Why can't I select a folder on my Time Capsule as my iPhoto Library. My end goal here is to have no local files on my laptop.

How are you accessing your Time Capsule? When you say that you can not select it, what happens?
In general iPhoto is not good with wireless access to the iPhoto library - and you are likely to be unhappy with the speed even if you get it working and even if you never have a network dropout due to the wireless connection
You are most likely to be happy with a wired conneciton and NOT sharing a partition with Time Machine (Time machine expects that it can fill the disk it is on which will eventually cause iPhoto problems)

How do I restore an iPhoto library from Time Capsule

My iMac was stolen. I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite version 10.10.2. The iPhoto Library was not on the MacBook. How do I restore my iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule onto my MacBook? I am using iPhoto version 9.6.1.
Two complications:
1. I have several hundred photos from a different iPhoto library on my MacBook.
2. I think the iPhoto library that is hopefully on my Time Capsule is too big to fit on my MacBook. I have 50 GB free space remaining on a 256 GB SSD.
Thank you.

If the library to be restored is too big for your boot drive you'll need to get an external HD, formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored, and restore the iPhoto Library to it according to the instructions in the following screenshot:
With the restored library up and running you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Macbook library into the restored library on the EHD. A possible candidate for the EHD is the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 / FireWire 800. It lends itself nicely for portable use.
Once you are satisfied that the merge was successful you can delete the Macbook library from the Pictures folder.
