HELP - how do you save pictures through the recovery mode?

How do you save pictures through the recovery mode.  I have the black screen with cursor and despite trying all the tips noted here nothing seems to fix the issue.  These have included using Utility disk to re-install OS-X, repairing the disks.  Also tried the holding shift on start up and entering username and password.  Also tried internet recovery and then repair and re-install.  Nothing works!
Happy to restore from a back up, but I have been rubbish and not backed up for a long time.  Also happy to delete and re-install completely but don't want to loose pics.
Please let me know any suggestions!!

Is it possible to attach an external drive and copy across files through the utility function?
That requires that you can boot the MBP. 
Or to boot the mac using the time machine back up?
You can try using startup manager:

But you still need a working volume where you can install the backed up data.
The good news is that since you have a Time machine backup, you can transfer that data to another Mac or clone:

  • Help how do you save a still frame of video  as a photo?

    Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo? Thanks

    A still frame from an Event:
    Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
    The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
    A still frame from a Project:
    Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
    In both cases:
    Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
    Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
    You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
    Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

    If it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone.  Restore the phone using iTunes, then restore it from your last backup. If you've been backing up on a regular basis as intended, you won't lose anything except what's changed since the last backup.

  • How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

    Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
    I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
    What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
    When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
    Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

    You have several choices:
    1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
    2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
    3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
    4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
    All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.

  • How do you save pictures in .swf?

    Could you tell me that in simple steps if possible?

    no, I just want to save pictures so that they won't be dowloadable from my web site, but I suppose, my designer is taking care of that. I was looking for a way to protect the pictures I send as submissions to web sites, which, in turn, may publish on their own web site without my ok, but i guess, if I sent them, they are downloadable, there is nothing i can do. I know the digimarc, I already tried it.
    By the way, while i am here, it's a disater  since I posted that question, I am still receing HUNDREDS of mails from  the mc book air community. I checked "your stuff" and it says I am not following any community, and
    only "receive mail from announcement posts I create " is checked. I just resaved, and they are still coming.......

  • How do you save and view the GPS data of imported photos?

    The photos I took on my iphone have location data that can be viewed through the camera application but I haven't been able to see it when I've imported it onto my computer. I tried importing through iPhoto and Image Capture (which lists the GPS data) but neither show up in the Places tab in iPhoto.
    Is there a better way to view or save the location of the photos?

    iPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Look Up Places>Automatically.

    Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup.  You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.
