  • How do I get photos from iPhoto via Time Machine?

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and am unable to find my photos through Time Machine.  I tried following the previous discussions on how to do this but I did not find a Master's folder when searching on package contents after right clicking on iPhoto in Time Machine. 
    I accidentally deleted some photos in iPhoto the other night and was hoping that I could easily retreieve them from my Time Machine Back-ups but this is not the case.  Where the heck are the iPhotos photos stored?  I have a MacBookPro running version 10.8.5. 
    Thanks in advance for your help-
    Sheri

    Thanks, LN
    I only need to retrieve a few photos...not the entire library.  Where is the master's folder located, specifically?  I was unable to find it and I looked very thoroughly through all of the folders.

  • Is it possible to recover a single event in iPhoto with Time Machine?

    I was looking back through the events in iPhoto (300+), nd found one missing.  Not sure why; probably accidentally deleted.

    There is a way, but it may well be extremely tedious. If you know the filename of the photo, you can try searching for that either
    1. in Spotlight (if Time Machine has not been added as an exclusion in  > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy),
    or
    2 manually through the finder tree:
    Backups.backupsdb > .......  > Pictures > iPhoto Library
    You'll need to choose a backup that you're fairly certain would have been before the time you think it might have been deleted in order to narrow down the search.
    In any case follow the path to an 'iPhoto Library' file on your TM disk. Click once on iPhoto Library to select it, hold down the control key, and click again. Choose 'Show Package Contents' from the menu that appears.
    This will open up the package like an ordinary folder. Look for a folder called 'Originals'. From here you can browse through your indivudal pictures for that backup date, but there'll be a lot and it'll probably take you a while.
    Using either of the methods above, when you finally find the file on your Time Machine disk, click on it once, press 'Command-C' to copy it, then go back to your normal desktop and press 'Command-V' to paste it.
    Open iPhoto as usual and import the photo from your desktop.

    Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos.  How to restore all photos on iPhoto on Macbookair?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Cannot find deleted photos from iPhoto in time machine!

    Help wanted, I am unable to recover lost photos from iPhoto in Time machine.
    I can find lost documents OK, but nothing from iPhoto 08.-Chatch

    Hi Larry, they were in trash, but I deleted trash because I thought that time machine went back in time and found them from an earlier date? Is this not so?-Chatch

  • Restoring an external hard drive with time machine

    I'm having a problem restoring an external hard drive using time machine. I'm on a macbook Air Running 10.7.5.
    The external hard drive where I store all my photos crashed a few days ago. Not a total disaster, because it's backed up, but I can't figure out how to restore the drive onto a new hard drive. When I go into time machine without the corrupted drive attached, it does not show up in the time machine browser as an option for restore. (The files are definitely there, though, because I can see them when I look at the time machine files in Finder. I'm afraid if I just transfer the files by dragging, though, I'll mess something up.) I tried using the migration assistant, but I'm having the same problem there.
    Anyone know how to do this? I'm a little frantic to get my photos back.
    Thanks!

    I am having a similar problem.  I use a  Lacie external hard drive connected to an Airport Time Capsule via USB to store my itunes library.  Yesterday I disconnected the external drive from the ATC and connected it to my macbook pro via fire wire to transfer 40 gigabytes of media files from my laptop to the external drive directly rather than over wifi.  When I reattached the external drive to the ATC the Lacie drive didn't show up even after rebooting everything. I then disconnected from the ATC and reconnected to the laptop and now I get an error message saying the Lacie disk is unrecognizable and needs to be reformated.  The Lacie drive was being included in the time machine backups so the files should be available through time machine but I don't see anyway to access them because the Lacie disk icon doesn't appear in the time machine backups.  Is there another way to browse the files?  
    I have had issues with Lacie disks not showing up on the desktop before, particularly when transferring files from one computer to another.  The transfer usually goes fine but then when I reattach the drive to the first computer it isn't recognized anymore until I reboot and it sometimes requires a couple of reboots.  I initially tried to connect the external drive to both the ATC and the laptop but that didn't work, although now I'm wondering if that was because the connection to the laptop was firewire rather than USB like the ATC.  In any case I currently have over a terabyte of data on my lacie that I can't access which includes my entire itunes library and backup files from multiple computers which were "cleaned" but not restored. 
    Disk utility sees the drive but can't verify or repair and tells me to backup as many files as possible and then reformat.  Unfortunately I can't see ANY files to backup because the disk won't mount anywhere.  If anyone has a recommendation for utilities to recover the files I'd be most grateful to get them.

  • How use Google Drive to do Backups with Time Machine?

    Hi everyone! I work in a company that give us a huge amount of space in google drive, bigger than my hard drive! The other day someone tried to break in. Luckily nothing happened but the computer and external hard drive were here! Since then I've been wondering some way to do an automatic back up with time machine using google drive account. No matter how long is take but at least i will be an online back up. I couldn't find anything useful so if there is some that could give a hint or just for to know if this is doable. Any suggestion, thoughts or ideas?
    Cheers!

  • How to recover old Back ups made with time machine?

    After a recovery with time machine to a very early back up, it completly deleted my old back ups from my back up drive? I had almost everything there. how can i get it back? is there any way?

    Hi Patsmith7,
    i think I understand what you're asking. You'd like to move the current Time Machine backup to a new HD so that it will never be written over as you continue to use the current HD where the data resides. If that is correct, then just follow the below link which will show you a very simple way of accomplishing this.
    If you only want to move a specific date then you will have to follow the same instructions in the link but click on the drop down arrow on the current backup which will show you each instance (date) of the backups. Grab the date that you're interested in and complete the move as instructed in the link to the new HD.

    Good Luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Restoring System Preferences in Mavericks with Time Machine

    I'm trying to get back to an earlier version of the System Preferences with Time Machine.  All goes well until I hit restore, and then I get the notification that "“System Preferences” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X."    Am I doing something wrong? 

    Try restoring the preference file to the Desktop and try manually, with Admin password, to replace the existing file.
    To restore to a cifferent location Command (right) - click on the file in TM and select this contextual menu option:

  • How do I restore only a few photos from iphoto using time machine?

    I have about 100 photos that have become corrupt and I need to restore from time machine.  When I try to restore the iphoto library, it says it cannot restore because library is too big.  How can I get back only the few photos that are corrupt?
    Thanks!
    Dorothy

    Please expain what you mean by 100 photos becoming corrupt? That is extremely unlikely - it is much more likely that you have a corrupted library
    Probably rebuilding your iPhoto library is the solution but with no information about what you have or what is going on that is only a wild guess
    For iPhoto '11 Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database and see if that resolves things

  • Restore photos from iPhoto without Time Machine

    I was having trouble opening iPhoto so I deleted the application and reinstalled it on my Macbook Pro.  Stupidly I was of the impression that all of the photos I had uploaded to iphoto were also being uploaded simutaneously in my pictures file.  I lost about 5,000 photos.  I don't have Time Machine.  Is there any other way to restore deleted photos on my Mac?

    The photos are not in the application but are in the iPhoto Library package which is located in your Pictures folder. 
    Once you get the iPhoto application reinstalled apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do i restore my itunes and iphoto from time machine?

    I backed up my iMac using Time Machine using an external drive, after purchasing a MacBook Pro. I now want to move my iTunes and iPhoto from this iMac time machine backup to my new MacBook, but I can't get past the "you can't open the application because it is in a time machine backup". I attempted to migration assistant and it said it moved all of my applications over, but the songs and photos from my old iTunes and iPhoto didn't transfer. How can I just ******* move the songs and photos to my new computer from my god **** external drive? Why does it have to be so complicated...

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • HT201250 How do I view individual photos in iPhoto on Time Machine?

    I go in to Time Machine, then Pictures and iPhoto Library but cannot open any further - is this where they should be for me to open the whole library as I can't open it?

    Time Machine can't restore individual pictures on iPhoto. If you want to restore a photo from the Time Machine backup, you have to restore the whole library and you will lose recent changes.
    A workaround would be to access to your Time Machine drive manually and restore the iPhoto library from the backup you want to a folder. Open a Finder window, choose your Time Machine drive in the sidebar and go to Backups.backupdb > yourcomputername > backupdate (being the date when the backup was created) > Macintosh HD (or the disk name you selected) > Users > youruserfolder > Pictures, and copy the iPhoto library to another folder. Open the old library, extract the photos and copy them to your current iPhoto library.
    If you just wanted to view individual photos from an iPhoto backup you have in Time Machine, you just have to restore the iPhoto library to another folder (in case you don't want to lose your current iPhoto library)

  • When I try to restore my iMac on Mavericks with Time Machine it stalls on the apple logo

    After trying to restore through time machine it hangs on the apple logo with the spinning disk below it. I have left it for 3 days nothing happens. So I just reinstalled Mavericks and it works but its seems broken. Most notable is iPhotos, when I open certain photos I get an exclamation mark, and some videos give me error code OSStatus -54. I have rebuild by holding option key but nothing. I have downloaded library manager but I get a ton of errors. Please help.

    Hi Supermani,
    I have the same situation after my internal hard drive stopped working and was replaced.  Everything seemed to migrate okay from my time machine back up, apart from iPhoto library.  All the photos since February this year give an exclamation mark and all the videos give the error code OSStatus -54.  Rebuilding hasn't worked and neither did library manager.
    With the restore, I updated from iPhoto 8 to 9, so the library had to be updated.  I am just trying a new restore of iPhoto Library, which I'll try to open with my old version of iPhoto 8.  I'll let you know how I go.  If you find any solutions, please post them!
