How do you get individual iPhoto photos off of Time Machine

I used to be able to open up iPhoto in Time Machine and pull individual photos. This doesn't seem to be the case any more. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

  • How do I get my iphoto photos off of my failing macbookpro hard drive? I'm connected to an imac via firewire.

    My Macbook Pro hard drive is failing and I have it booted off of an iMac. I was able to drag and drop my other files off of the macbook's hard drive and onto the imac, but I can't find my iphoto pictures and the macbook's iPhoto library won't boot via the imac. I did a time machine backup of my macbook a couple of weeks ago, but I recently uploaded some yearbook photos (I'm a teacher) and those are the only copies. Thanks!

    Usually the iPhoto Library is in your Pictures folder inside your Home folder (usually that is your name) . The following has more details: iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location

    How can i get a still photo off an iMovie?

    You do not need the QuickTime MPEG2 disk image unless you want to convert some MPEG2 clips. For photos, you don't need it.
    You can buy it from Apple at this link, but like I said, you should not need it.

  • If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

    if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

    You can either,
    A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
    or 
    B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
    What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
    IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

  • How do you get rid of 'empty' pre-roll time in logic pro 9?

    how do you get rid of the pre-roll time in logic pro 9?  
    My project's start time is 8-bars before any material, or tempos, or anything...  
    Can't move the start time back to ")" (zero)    STUCK!!  at -8
    The song now has 20 seconds of dead air time in a pre-roll.
    None of these worked or revealed anything...
    -tried making a new copy of song
    -looked into every track's file information looking for a spurious entry
    -tried deleting the time/space

    Hi
    Check for any Track Automation nodes in the "preroll'.

    Edit
    You should note that generally negative (or zero) project start numbers should be avoided at all cost: there are many peculiar behaviour problems associated with them.

  • Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup!

    Can you restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup or do you have to restore an entire library?
    Whilst deleting some old photos from my library i seem to have accidentally deleted an entire event of photos. I regularly backup my iMac using TIme Machine, so was hoping that i could restore this one event. Is this possible and if so how do you do it?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Greetings Martyn,
    You can restore events from TimeMachine if you like.  Read here.
    Rather than clicking on individual pictures, you click on "Events", highlight the events you want, and then click restore.
    Hope that helps.

  • Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup in Lion

    How can I restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup using Lion.
    Thanks

    If you know the file names of the photos you want to restore you can use  Find Any File  to search your Time Machine hard drive for that file.  When it is found you can drag it from the search window to the Desktop and import into iPhoto from there.
    Due to the nature of the Time Machine backup structure each search can take a while.  The search results window will look like this:

    How do I Restore my iPhoto library from my time machine if it does not give me the restore option?
    When I go into my backups and click on the iPhoto library it does not come up with an option to restore it just says open and of course then won't let me open it because it is a back up in time machine? I need these photo very important.

  • How do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup?

    how do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup? I did a back up and i formatted my machine. How do i get iphoto to be the same?

    This screenshot shows how to restore a library from Time Machine.
    There is NO importing necessary.  One should never import one library into another.  Just restore it to your Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

  • How do I retrieve my iphoto library from the Time Machine back-up drive, when the original iphoto library was on a separate external hard drive that has crashed?

    I recently backed up my iMAC and Simpletech external hard-drive to a 1 TB WD Passport  external hard drive, using Time Machine's back-up utility.  Today, I tried to access my iphoto library from the back-up drive, but received a message saying "the iPhoto library is a Time Machine back up, and so cannot be used as the main library.  Relaunch iPHoto with options key held down to choose another library."  Since my Simpletech died on me, what other iPhoto library is it expecting me to access?  I know approximately 169 GB were backed up, and my iPhoto library is roughly 54 GB.

    Thanks.  I will try going through TM.  Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive.  Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
    Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means.  It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility.  Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it.  Will look into

    Ensure it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, FAT16, or FAT32, connect it to a self-powered hub, and plug it into the Time Capsule's USB port. If the drive is Ethernet and not USB, ignore everything else and just plug it in.

  • How do you get rid of photos?

    i have a ipod touch 4g.  how the heck do you delete photos?  individually or photo folders?  is there a trick or what?

    The same way you put them there.
    The sync process.
    Deselect the folder in itunes and sync
    or
    Remove the photos from the select folder on your comptuer and sync
    or
    Delete the photos from your computer and sync.
