How do i retrieve pictures from the time machine

I had to reboot to retrieve my administrative password.  I backed up my pictures on the time machine but I am unable to retrieve them is there anyone who knows how to get them back?

Are these photos within your iPhoto library or pictures in a folder?

  • 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.

  • How do I retrieve mails from a time machine backup of a different computer?

    I had to reformat my computer because of a trojan file I couldn't eradicate, and I didn't want to restore files from a time machine backup for fear of reinstalling the trojan. After reinstalling OS Maverick, my MacBook Pro from early 2009 is now back to good performance. However, I would like to retrieve my old archived mails from 2009 onwards, excluding the present year, of course. I know those mails are there, but how can I access them?
    Thank you.
    Domenico

  • How to delete .inProgress file from the Time Machine?

    So my back up-ed had failed and I deleted it, and I can't empty the trash and when I try to put it back it doesn't want to. Help me please! Because now all of my space is used so I can't back up anymore.
    Thanks in advance!

    You never delete a Time Machine backup by dragging it to the Trash. You are supposed to use the TM application to manage the backups. What you will need to do now is to simply erase the drive using Disk Utility.

  • How do I access my back up files from the time machine if my computer was stolen?

    Hi, how do I access my back up files from the time machine if my mac book pro was stolen? I have a mac book air and mac too. But not sure how I can get back all the files from the stolen computer from my time capsule

    On the Mac Book Air or other Mac that you have, use Migration Assistant to transfer files from the Time Machine backups of the Mac that was taken.

  • How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

    There are so many passwords.. which one do you mean?
    TC password or disk password in the TC.. no problem.. soft reset.
    Or recover the password.. via the Tesserax method.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
    If you encrypted the backup in TM and have forgotten that password you are doomed.. there is no way to recover it I know of.. there is a warning.. very clear.. do not forget the password.

    Let it alone. No one can tell how long it will take as that is a function of your data.

  • How do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad

    how do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad?
    I want to temporarily put pictures that I took from another camera that's on my desktop into my IPAD so I can carry it to another location and show off my pictures to friends and family?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you want more control over your photos (e.g. being able to sort them directly on the iPad and delete synced photos) then there are third-party photo apps such as Photo Manager Pro.

  • How do I transfer pictures from the trophy to the Iphone 4 ?

    How do I transfer pictures from the trophy to the Iphone 4 ?

    There are a couple ways to transfer photos from an Alias 2 to an iPhone. If your photos are saved to the phone's SD card, you can use an adapter to put the media card in your computer port and transfer the photos to your computer. Or you can connect the Alias to your computer via cable; however, the Alias uses a proprietary port, so you have to have a cable made for the phone.
    Once the photos are saved on your computer, open iTunes, connect the iPhone and sync the photos you want. If you go to Help in iTunes, there's a tutorial on moving photos to the iPhone.
    If you want to transfer photos from a computer to an Alias, you can do it using one of the two methods in the first paragraph -- either via SD card or Samsung cable.

  • How can I restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. Using Migrat

    I would like to restore files from a time machine back-up of my iMac to an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to MacBook Pro. When I tried using Migration Assistant it only gives me my internal hard drive as an option to restore to. The internal hard drive on my macbook isnt large enough to store the files.

    If you want to restore files from the Time Machine backup onto an external drive, your only option is to access to the Time Machine drive manually (open a Finder window and choose your Time Machine drive in the Finder sidebar), navigate through its folders and copy the files you want to the external drive
