Cannot load iphoto in time machine

I have recently updated to using my time machine. I can load it up with finder, selecting individual files. I can also load it up with mail, selecting individual emails. The problem comes when i try to load iphoto, to try and recover an individual photo. I iphoto as the active window, and i click on time machine. It then proceeds to load the finder window. It doesnt load the iphoto window, which would then allow me to select an individual photo. I dont understand what i have done wrong, as it works with mail.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Try this as a solution.
Launch Iphoto
Go to the album you want to recover the photos from.
right click on any photo in that album and in the drop down menu you should see an option that says 'show file.' Click on that.
This will open a finder window with the file open that contains all the photos currently in the album. Start TimeMachine with this folder active.
Browse back and find all the deleted photos and restore.
Hope that works

I recently purchased a used iMac and cannot load iPhoto and other apps?

I recently purchased a used iMac. It was wiped clean and has the newest version of Mac OSX installed.
When I go to the app store, it shows iPhoto and has an accept prompt next to it, though when i enter my apple id to accept, it says I cannot do that as it was previously accepted, obviously by original owner. It says i could purchase it, but there is no available prompt to purchase it.
Questions: Do i have to purchase? How do i go about doing that?
Thanks!

If the machine was originally configured for Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or earlier you should have gotten the original DVDs, one of which had the iLife apps on it. If it came with Lion already pre-installed you can try Lion Recovery, OS X Lion: About but I doubt it will download the iLife apps for you. In short you probably have to buy them or get the original DVDs from the seller. Another option is to call AppleCare and for a nominal cost they will replace the original media. You can find their number by using the AppleCare Contact Info link.

Cannot load iPhoto Library nor download photos from camera

Upon reading most of the forums I have come to the conclusion that I have screwed up iPhoto Library by moving and deleting photos. Now Iphoto, verson 2.0 will not load the library nor download photos from an attached camera. It just remains a blank slate. I just did a clean install of OS 10.3 and downloaded all upgrades. Everything works except iPhoto. Reason I did all the didling with the library was that I have 25 Gigs of photos and my hardrive was too full. I still have over 15 Gig of photos on the drive and cannot view them. Prior to the Clean install of OS 10.3 Iphoto worked fine. I have purchased an external hard drive and now think I must do the following:
1. Format the new hard drive
2. Move the present iphoto library to the external hard drive. I have to do this as I still have no room on my hard drive. Move the old library out of picture folder.
3. Open Iphoto. Now it supposedly will ask me where the library is. I will show iPhoto where it is on external drive. Question, iPhoto does not recognize the library now so why should it when I show where it has been moved to?? Do I just move iPhoto library folder or the complete Picture folder?? Also when I hold down the shift and option keys while opening Iphoto to rebuild the library why should it as iphoto stil does not recognize its library??
4. Somewhere on the discussions I read that I have to hold down option key to get a new iPhoto Library. Can I do this and after creating new library have Iphoto download all albums from old renamed iphoto library??
Sorry for all the stupid questions. These photos are kids, grandkids and great grandkids, family pictures, etc. It would be devastating to me to loose these. Any help would be appreciated. Than ks

theolddog:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will not be able to resurrect your old library due to the renaming and moving of files within the iPhoto Library folder. You'll have to create a new library and import the full sized image files from the old library folder. Here's what you'll need to do:
1 - open the old iPhoto library folder and type Command-F (find). Then set the following search criteria.
a. Name contains ".jpg"
b. Size is greater than 100 KB.
2 - in the search window will be all of the thumbnail files that do don't want to import into the new library. So select them all and drag to the trash.
3 - launch iPhoto with the option key depressed and create a new library.
4 - use the File->Import menu option to select the old library folder and import all of the image files contained therein. You won't get any of the small thumbnail files since you removed them earlier.
That should do it. You'll probably have more rolls then you had before so you'll have to consolidate photos into fewer rolls. In the future Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That's the cardinal sin of iPhoto.

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

How do I get my iPhoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel iMac mid 2011

How do I get my Iphoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel imac mid 2011?

I recommend tha tyou do not use migration assistant - it has a poor record of moving the iPhoto library successfully
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

I need help with imac g4 flat panel download of leopard it tells me it cannot load on the system.

i bought a refurbished imac g4 flat panel. it is supposed to have an os but it only comes up with a question mark. I put leopard in and it tells me it cannot load on this compuert. system is 800mhz and 60g hd and 768ram. i have tried to do a fix through the utility and it says it does not exit and kicks me out. ANY HELP IS A PLUS.

Try holding down the option key then power on. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
"The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1812?viewlocale=en_US
You have got get in open firmware to hack the mhz to be higher for the install. That is change what the machine reports as the mhz to be a higher number. Details:

This works on Tiger but I assume it would work on Leoard.

I tend to think dashboard is neat, but not neccesary for my everyday workflow.
it is possible to enable and disable it as needed,
by entering the following commands into the terminal:
-- To turn Dashboard off:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
-- To turn Dashboard on:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
-- You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
killall Dock

I currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application. HELP!!

i currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application.
it is showing all my existing photos but will not let me click on any of them, nor will it allow me to import any new photos into iPhoto.
I am really worried that I cannot access all of my photos and even more worried as I need to back them up!!
HELP!!

Try repair the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. Help.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. I use an external 1 TB WD My Book for backups as well as Super Duper Backups. Can anyone offer advice. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive. This is the folder used by Time Machine to save backups to, and the OS X Mavericks installer thought that your hard drive is being used to store Time Machine backups
To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer from the Applications folder and follow the steps

How come a season pass tv show, purchased on my iPad, auto load on my iMac, but cannot load on the iPad?

Hi,
I bought Whale Wars on my iPad. I bought a season pass sd version. It no longer appears on my iPad. It auto loads on my iMac. I cannot sync it from my iMac to my iPad. I can view it on my iPad only by sharing with my iMac. but there is a sync of a different year of this show even though I did not set it to sync. Maybe it was guilty.
I also bought Ice Road Truckers on my iPad. It downloads after authentication to my iPad, but it is displaying two separate IRT icons.
Flying Wild Alaska does the same with two separate icons.
The crab fishing show, Dangerous Catch appears under four separate and equal icons.
This is getting frustrated.
I have restored the iPad. No change. I restored the iPad as a new iPad and the tv show problem persisted. I restored it back.
Any ideas out there.

Hi,
It is me again. A week has gone by. I got an email saying Whale Wars was ready for download. Click here. Did that. The process asked for my password three times. It then showed it would download Whale Wars and then Flying Wild Alaska to my iPad.
It took the right amount of time to load to my iPad and then it started to load Flying Wild Alaska. But where did it put it?
Under videos there was no icon for Whale Wars. There were four icons for the Deadliest Catch, two icons for Ice Road Truckers, two icons for Flying Wild Alaska, and one icon for Mountain.
I went to the shared menu. There was no icon Whale Wars Season 5. In place was an Ice Road Trucker Icon that had Whale Wars Season 5 but not the latest show.
Flying Wild Alaska did load on the iPad and it played.
So I synced the iPad. With a number of spinning circles of death which iTunes solved all but the last one it kind of synced but it did not synch the latest show of Whale Wars. I had to force close iTunes and resynch. This time it synced the show. Now the show is on my iPad but no icon and I cannot see it. The show is on my iMac but it will not let me synch it back to my iPad. I can view the show under a shared selection on my iPad but if I walk out of wifi range forget it.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you,
John Ross

I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

Cannot load iMac grey screen

New iMac cannot load grey screen

If it is new return it. That should not happen.
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

I also cannot access part of the App Store, I have been trying to down load a magazine app, it has been trying to connect but it has been taking a long time. Also since I did my last update I have lost the ability to face time, I also cannot open iPhoto's

Since my last update on the newest version iPad I have not been able to download a magazine app that I have a subscription for as well I cannot open iPhoto's or video. When I go into settings and go down to where iTunes Mail etc are it freezes my I pad and I cannot access these. Is there a apple system problem? This has been going on for over a week now.

For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
Also try resetting your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.
