Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

  • How do i retrieve photos from iphoto on a time machine backup?

    how do i retrieve photos from iphoto on a time machine backup?

    To restore the entire library do the following:
    For a single photo you need to  know the file name?  If so you can extract photos one at a time out of the TM backups for import into iPhoto.  You would do it as follows:
    1 - download and launch  Find Any File.
    2 - select the Time Machine external hard drive.
    3 - enter the file name and search. It will take longer than a normal search due to the nature of the Time Machine structure, maybe up to 1 miinute.
    4 - select the file that is in the Masters or Originals folder in the search results window and drag to the Desktop where it can be imported into iPhoto:

  • New computer: how do I retrieve photos from different Time Machine backups?

    I use Time capsule to back up my iMac & my Macbook Pro. My old Macbook Pro "died" last week and right now I'm setting up my new one. I have copied the files & documents I need from my old laptop and my iMac without any problems (though it took a surprisingly long time considering the small amount of docs I copied). I have however not copied any applications or photos.
    My question is: how to I retrieve photos from the different Time Machine back ups (iMac & old laptop) to my new computer without messing up? It would be especially "cool" if I could retrieve only some of the photos.
    (I don't know if this has any importance, but my old Macbook Pro was & current iMac is running on Leopard and the new Macbook Pro on Snow Leopard).

    Your best bet is to start over; erase the new Mac's internal HD, reinstall OSX, then use Setup Assistant to transfer your stuff.  It's the fastest and most reliable way to do it.  See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups?, especially the green "Second Chance" box.
    Otherwise, to see the backups for a different Mac, see #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  To restore selected items, see #15 there.

  • Can someone please tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photoshop Elements 11.             o library

    Can someone tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photo Shop Elements 11.  When I am in Photo Shop Elements and I go to import the only option is to import from a camera.  I want to import a photo from iPhoto.  If I can't figure this out Photo Shop Elements is totally useless to me.

    Not sure what you are trying to do
    If you want to use PSE as an editor for iPhoto then set it in the iPhoto preferences (you need to search the forums for the exact settings - they are not obvious)
    The general answer to yoru question is to import a photo form iPhoto to  any other program is to select the photo in iPhoto and export to the desktop and import from there
    Please explain what it is taht you want to do

  • How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpegs?

    How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpeg files? I'm wanting to burn the iPhoto library exactly as it appears in the "album", so they appear as jpegs, so you can't tell that the files have been edited in iPhoto. (I have edited some of the photos in iPhoto.)
    I tried this using the "share/burn" menu option, however, it included the original files, which defeats the purpose of editing them.
    Any suggestions?

    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to CD with the Finder.
    Regards

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

    How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

    1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
    2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
    3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos  select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first

  • If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

    My iphone was stolen 1 month ago.  I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app.  Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
    Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone.  I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device.  Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

    The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
    They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
    Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

  • How do I export photos from my iMac to the iPad now?

    With the new iTunes 11.0 I don't see the feature to select photos from iPhoto to export or share to my iPad. How would I do this now? Thank you.

    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Click on "Sync Photos from" and then select the folder where your pictures are located - usually on the Mac in iPhoto
    Click on the Albums, events and faces that you want to sync.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • How can I move photos from other albums into the camera roll

    I have synced photos from my computer onto the iPad. There placed in a different album. How can I move them into the camera roll?

    You could do it by setting up a Shared Photo Stream. Select the photos in the Photo app then tap the Shared button selecting Photo Stream. Just don't enter any email address and it will appear on your other devices. Only photos can be added and not albums so you will have to re-organize then on the iPhone.
    I would recommend getting the photos to the computer as well though. Create a photo library on the computer and sync then over to the iphone with iTunes. The photo library on the computer can be added to a more reliable backup.
