    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.

  • HT4927 How do I retrieve photos from Time Machine on a new macbook air?

    My previous mac book pro had all my photos on it. I thought I saved the library to a disk, but was unsuccessful. I also backed up my photos to my Time machine daily.  Once my macbook and coffee got acquainted, it no longer worked. I am unable to retrieve my photos from anywhere, nor do I know how to access them from my time machine. When I enter time machine, the date only goes as far back as to when I started back ups with the new macbook. How can I obtain them? I have a lot of baby photos I'm without.

    Not for photos as I don't have alot of room, nor am I 100% know what I am doing.

  • Lion ate my Entourage folders. How to import to Mail from Time Machine backup?

    Hello,
    I upgraded to Lion after doing a Time Machine backup.  Entourage is now not supported and I'm up and running on Mail except I don't have my old e-mails that I stored in subfolders.  Many were important/current items that I need, help!

    Ok so after you entered the Terminal command, did you open Finder and see your user Library folder? If so, you should be able to find your Mail folder inside Library. You should then be able to open Time Machine by right clicking the Time Machine icon in the upper right part of your menu bar and selecting Enter Time Machine. Once inside Time Machine you should be able to navigate to your user Library folder then the Mail folder.

  • How do I move photos from Time Machine backup to iPhoto in new Mac?

    A friend has been backing up his very old Mac with an external drive.  I find lots of pages about move/copy TO external drive but need to find a correct way to move them from the backup drive to iPhoto on the new Mac.

    You do not "move" files from a TM backiup - you restore tehm using the TM program - launch TM and go to the time you want to restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore

  • Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

    I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

    Hello Salemr,
    When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

  • Restoring individual photos from Time Machine

    I have been researching the blogs for an answer to this question and find nothing helpful.  What is the best method for retrieving an individual photo from iPhoto  on Time Machine?
    I inadvertently deleted a photo that I know was present a few weeks ago.  How can I recover the photo from Time Machine?
    I have an iMac (21.5") with OS X version 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and am using iPhoto '11 version 9.3.2.
    Thanks for a quick response.

  • Recovering photos from time machine

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and find that time machine is not allowing me to retrieve photos from Time Machine through iPhoto like it used to.  How do I do that now?

    With the current version of iPhoto only entire iPhoto Libraries can be restored:
    If you need to restore a single photo and know the file name there is a way to do that.  If that's what you want post back and I'll layout how to do it.

  • HT201250 How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory
