How can I locate pictures that were backed up to my time capsule

I backed up my macbook air to my time capsule. But how to I find photos once they are backed up?

If you are asking about the iPhoto Library, it is not possible to browse individual images. Instead, you have to restore the entire library back to your Mac.
To do that, open Time Machine and navigate to your Pictures folder. The iPhoto Library is inside the Pictures folder.

  • How can I be sure that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interogate the back ups i can't identify individual music or picture files?

    How can I confirm that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interrogate the backs ups I can't identify individual photo or music files?

    You cannot browse a Time Machine backup with the Finder. To restore individual music files or any other files normally available in the Finder, open your Music folder then "Enter Time Machine" using the Time Machine icon.
    Restoring individual photographs is slightly more cumbersome. Apple recommends restoring the entire iPhoto Library, but if you want to locate an individual photograph you could use Time Machine to restore the old Libary. Restore it to an alternate location to avoid overwriting your existing one. Open iPhoto while holding an Option key, open the restored Library, find the photo you need and export it, close iPhoto, re-open it with your usual Library, and import the photo.
    Time Machine depends upon a number of sound engineering principles for reliable operation, one of which is "faith"
    Your files will remain intact until your Time Machine backup device becomes inoperative.

  • How can I recover pictures that were deleted from my Playbook after a OS upgrade?

    The playbook would not back up when i connected to my pc via the BB desktop manager.
    The message that popped up in the desktop manager advised the Playbook counldnt connect and the solution was it needed an update. When I okayed the update, the new OS was installed.
    All I did was click ok to the message. Nothing popped up telling me the playbook would be wiped.
    Now, all my pics and videos are gone - and have not been backed up. Is there any solution?
    Thanks for your time.

    Yes.  I tried the refresh and checked the uninstall tab.  Still nothing.  Another thing though - when I entered my Blackberry ID, it would not let me use my screen name because it was supposedly already in use.  But I knew that because it was in use by me.  It would only let me use the same name with a numerical suffix.  So I am wondering if it thinks I am still logged on from before the upgrade.  Also, is it possible the Playbook thinks I am some other use and won't let me access my files - like photos and videos, etc.

  • How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

    If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes?  If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

  • HT4847 Lost my pictures that were backed up in iCloud.  How do I find/search for them?

    Lost my pictures that were backed up in iCloud.  How do I find/search for them?

    Unfortunately, you cannot view them and I would not recommend to only store your photos via iCloud, because iCloud will only do a backup of your device including the photos that you have currently stored in your Camera Roll. I would recommend to store them (manually or via Photo Stream) on Mac/PC or with another cloud storage service like Dropbox.

  • How do I restore files that were backed up by Adobe?

    How do I restore Files that were backed up by Adobe?

    Where is the back-up e.g. on removable storage such as CD, DVD or external hard drive?
      If the files are on Photoshop.com, then Elements can sync them back down, by following these steps:
    Launch the Elements program.
    Login to your photoshop.com account
    Open Organizer
    On the menu click Edit à Preferences à Backup/Synchronization
    You should see all of your albums and media files on your photoshop.com account.
    Mark those checkboxes that you want to restore to your computer.
    Click OK.
    N.B. Elements can only sync files back down to your hard drive which reside in albums on Photoshop.com

    You can restore them from your backup - if you havn't got a backup then you'll need to re-purchase them. Media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded from iTunes once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backup(s) of your purchased (and any other important) content.
