You can't view your photos in the iPhoto library in Time Machine vis the Finder.  You must enter Time Machine, go back in time to the library you want to restore and restore it?
One can only restore an entire library from TM:

  • HT201272 Lost 111 songs, not found on my hard drive/computer anywhere. How can I recover the songs from previously purchased items? I get amn "i" in circle that says can't locate song, and when I try, it goes nowhere. How do I find the songs previously pu

    I've been trying to locate my lost song files on my computer and in my iTunes purchased library. However, when I try to go through itunes purchased to redownload prevously purchased songs, it says they have all been downloaded to my computer. These are the songs that show up with a small "i" in a circle in my library. I click to "locate" but cannot find them anywhere. How can I find them and/or re-download these songs? 

    Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks.  When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file.  If something breaks this link then you get !  The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether.  I don't know which has happened in your case.  You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link.  If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back.  If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

  • How do i remove the id suggestions that pop up when i'm filling a form or how do i delete the id's which have been logged on from my computer

    i want to know how do remove the id suggestion that keep popping up every time i fill a form or try logging on on a site. i got a computer from someone and its bugging when all his ids keep appearing. i've tried removing the saved passwords and everything but everytime i fill a form.. they're still there. is there any way i can get rid of them. thanks.

    Select the item (arrow down or move cursor) but don't click on it, then press the "Del", users on a Mac would do the same but must continue to use the older shortcut "Shift+Del".

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • I recently created a new iPhoto library, why does it now show 2 iPhoto libraries the same and 1 being my new one when I hold option and open iPhoto at the same time?

    I recently created a new iphoto library. It seems now that when I hold down the option key and open iphoto  I now have 2 iphoto libraries (both the same library) as well as my new library which is now my default as I intended but why would I now have 2 listed the same in this box? When I go to finder>pictures there is only the 2!! I hope I am making sense!

    Try the following to see if you can get rid of the ghost:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • Receiving this message"Can't create the file "highlighter_welcome_header.jpg." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges." I have enough storage how do I find the problem?

    Can’t create the file “highlighter_welcome_header.jpg.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
    How do I find the problem? Disk is not full.

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I have upgraded to a new macbook. How do I find the website I created on my previous macbook?

    I have upgraded to a new macbook. How do I find the website I created on my previous macbook?

    Time Machine makes a backup of every bit on your computer, unless you explicitely exclude the file.
    You would know it.
    The library folder is invisible as of Lion.
    You want your file back?
    Brace yourself, I wrote a long explanation to make you happy.
    Make sure you follow the instruction character by character. It works a advertised.
    Here we go.
    Login as Administrator to have full control of your computer. If you do not konw how, find out.
    Enter Time Machine
    Once in Time Machine do Escape to leave it.
    Do Command-Shift-C
    You see the time Machine Backup.
    Double-cick to open it.
    Use list view (Command-2) to see the folders and files.
    Click the triangle to open the folder with the date of the latest backup on your old computer.
    Click the triangle to open the folder with the name of the Harddisk of your old computer.
    Click the triangle to open folder Users.
    Click the triangle to open folder with the Username on your old computer.
    Do you see the Library folder?
    STOP.
    Open Terminal.app (in's in Applications/Utilities).
    Type cd and a space
    Drag the folder with your Username on the Terminal window and hit Return.
    Type ls -al (and hit Return)
    You'll see the contents of the home directory.
    Type cd Library (UPPERCASE EL hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return to make sure we're in the right directory)
    Type cd "Application Support" (INCLUDING THE QUOTATIONS and hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return. Scroll to see if the iWeb folder is there)
    Type cd iWeb (hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return)
    You should see the Domain.sites2 file (actually a directory, since Terminals does not understand packages)
    Type cp -R Domain.sites2 ~/Desktop/ (hit Return)
    Terminal will copy the domain file to the Desktop.
    Is it there? Great.
    In Terminal again.
    Type chflags nohidden ~/Library (and hit return to make the Library folder visible.)
    In the Finder, move the domain file to Library/Application Support/iWeb/ in your Home directory (Command-Shift-H)
    Double-click it to open it in iWeb.
    If that does not happen, browse this forum for solutions, or wait for others to help you.
    You can later move the file your own Home directory.
    Do Command-Shift-Q to logout.
    Practice.

  • HT2589 i have another account that has money in it already  but i had forgotten my security answers so i created a new account with a recovery email but my money is not added into my new account. how can i recover the money and added to my new account

    i created a new account because i had forgotten my security answers. now the problem is that the money i had in my other account wasnt transffered to my new account, even thou i put in a retreive  email address into my new acount. how can i tranffer the money into my new account?

    You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, it can only be used on the account that it was originally redeemed onto.
    If on your old account you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address on it then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
