IPhoto from time machine not opening...

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me on this one....
Yesterday had my hard drive wiped at the Apple store because of performance issues. Any way performance now is awesome, I had backed my mac up to an external harddrive timemachine so all good in that respect. Only one issue that I am having now is that I can not get Iphoto to open after I have re-imported it from yesterdays timeline, (before it was wiped).
Nag message comes up below and I don't have a clue what to do next. any ideas please?

You need to reinstall iPhoto as it's missing subsidiary frameworks that it needs to run.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help!

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help! And thank you!

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Recovering iPhoto from Time Machine - Project is not recovered, the book is

Having lost a book in iPhoto, I recovered iPhoto from Time Machine. The Project containing the book was there, but the pictures in the book were not. The pictures are in the photos section, but not in the book. I do not want to have to reload the pictures one by one. Any suggestions. Looks like a defect in Time Machine
Richard

I just recovered a library with a couple of books in them and all photos were in the book. You might try recovering a different backup of the same library. Go backward from the time of your last attempt and then, if necessary, forward. If all fail then you've got an problem with TM and that library. Check to see if other files can be recovered satisfactorily. If you use iWeb try recovering your domain file from a time back (select the option to keep both so you don't lose your work to date).
It might be a little late, i.e. the horse is out of the barn, but you might consider using a separate library for your books. That provides a couple of benefits: 1 - working in your primarary library, deleting files, etc. will have no effect on your book; 2 - it's easy to backup and archive the book for ordering additional copies in the future. Old Toad's Tutorials #9 and 9a describe two different methods. I prefer #9a.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

How do I open my iPhoto from time machine?

I took my Macbook Pro to the apple store last week and they said there was something wrong with my software and that they needed to wipe it clean. I said I'll bring it in next week in order to back up all my photos. So he told me to buy a hard drive and just click on "use as backup drive" and everything will be backed up. I did so, with time machine and took it back in store to get it wiped clean. I asked the person before they wiped my laptop how I would restore my iPhoto back onto my wiped clean mac and she said that all i had to do was connect the hard drive and then drag iPhoto the dock and it will copy and paste. She said it was easy as that and I was relieved. Now I'm trying to do it but I copied my iPhoto onto the dock as she said and when i click on iPhoto it's empty. My photos are all gone. I'm really scared now because all the photos I took for the last 3 years were on that iPhoto and now I'm afraid I lost them all. Please help!

You were more than somewhat misinformed. Even if that did work it would have imported one library to another, making a significant mess of your iPhoto Library. The person who told you that needs to read some articles on how to restore from Time machine, like this one:

Hard drive crashed need to restore iphotos from Time Machine

I need some serious help. I have a 24inch intel imac and my hard drive failed. I thought I had everything backed up on my external hard drive via Time Machine (my last backup was April 11th) so I replaced the hard drive.
Once I reinstalled Leopard 10.5 it asked me if I wanted to restore my data from Time Machine which I did. It seemed like it worked great but when I opened up iphoto all 43,000 pictures (cherished family pictures of our children) were gone!
iphoto still has the Event Titles, how many photos, and the sizes but they are empty with nothing but a big exclamation point. I see the iphoto library under Time machine as well but the restore is grayed out I can't even go back in time because the arrow is grayed out.
I named the new hard drive "new SG 1.0TB" and the old one was just named Macintosh HD. I read briefly somewhere that the old and new hard drives need to have the same name. Is this correct? Also does it make a difference that I had Leopard 10.5.6 when my photos were available and now I'm only on 10.5? Please help!
I had some help from another forum and he told me to look under the Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library and right click on it and select 'Show Package Contents. All the folders are there (teasing me) but there are no pictures in the folders so nothing. But I was searching again on my external time machine backup and found iphotos under time machine backups/backups.backupdp/Ryan Gunter's Computer (2)/2009-01031-002706/Macintosh HD/Users/ryang808/pictures. It had all my iphotos from 1999 until the january 2009 but everything from this date to present is not there (the folders are there but nothing in them) could they still be hiding somewhere?? And how do I get the ones I do have back in iPhoto?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

sorry but, no. if they are not there there is no other place they could be. for some mysterious reason TM didn't back them up. still you should restore what you can. quit iphoto, control-click on TM in the dock and select "browse other TM disks". this will let you browse your old backups via TM interface. locate the folder Macintosh HD/Users/ryang808/pictures on january 31 backup and restore its contents to your Pictures folder. start iphoto and it should have alll those pictures.

Restore iPhoto from Time Machine Backup - Manually

Hi, my harddrive broke, I chose to start from scratch rather than do a complete restore from Time Machine. When I manually go to the Time Machine drive and copy my iPhoto library over from my user file, it copies all 14GB of it over. However when I open iPhoto - the app opens with a grey screen and the big greyscale clock meter rotating around. Stays like that for hours and no pictures.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to fix it?

I find a folder called "Old Masters".
You are victim of a bug in iPhoto 9.6 that happens when there's an interruption of the conversion process. I don't think you can restore the library at this stage. But check to make sure the Master's alias is truly an alias see where it takes you. If it's to the Old Masters folder delete the alias and rename the Old Masters folder to Masters. Then use the free, demo version of iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library as described below. It's a long shot but worth a try particularly if the Masters folder is really an alias pointing to the Old Masters folder.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - 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
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If the iPLM rebuild doesn't work what is left now is to move the Masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and import the image files from that Old Masters folder. You'll have to separate them after import into the groupings that suit you meeds.

IPhoto from Time Machine no photos

HI
I restored iPhoto through Time Machine but my photos are on an external disc, how do I get iPhoto to see them?
Also is it safe to do a permissions repair from the disk utility on the hard drive and not the install disk?

Hi
I have sorted it.

Restoring iPhoto from time machine

1. is it possible to restore an event or do oy need to restore the whole iPhoto Library

If you notice the date on the previous posts you'll see that it was 2 years ago. Since then iPhoto no longer can restore individual photos, only the entire library. However there is a way to restore individual photos if you know their file name:
Restoring Individual Photos from Time Machine
1 - download and launch Find Any File
2 - enter the file name of the photo you want to restore and select the Time Machine drive
3 - in the search resuts window locate the Originals (iPhoto 8 [09]) or Masters (iPhoto 9 [11]) folder and look for the photo searched for.
4 - drag the photo to the Desktop and import into iPhoto from there.

Deleting files from Time Machine not possible

Prior to Mavericks it was possible to delete specific files or directories form all TM backups using the action menu.
this option no longer appears. this is an issue since it is no longer possible to prune the backups (remove files you really don't want to keep).
I know it is possible to exclude directories from backup (beforehand) but this does not cover removing files after they have been backed up..

It was always fraught to remove anything from Time Machine and I have read somewhere that there is now a bug that the engineers are working on. It appears you cannot go back beyond the date you download Mavericks.
Perhaps someone will come into the thread who knows more about this.

Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.
Using iPhoto '06

I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

Accessing photos in iPhoto from Time Machine. Help Please!

I'm using the Time Machine Backup Hard drive from my iMac on my macbook pro to access my files whilst travelling. I'm having difficutly with accesing my iphotos. What do I do when I get this message: "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with key held down to choose another library."
I have created two libraries but swapping between them still brings up this message.
Thanks for any assistance.

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.

Time Machine not opening after Snow Leopard 10.6.3 install

The install from Leopard 10.5.8 seemed to go well but I'm unable to open Time Machine now...I get this error message:
The operation can't be completed
An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)

Alls lost wrote:
I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my existing MacBook. I'd never done any work on Time Machine on the old version outside of opening it and am obviously completely ignorant of the entire application.
I'm still not clear -- had you done any backups while you were on Leopard?
I wanted to start using it and am receiving that error message when I try to open it so I can't get into it to do any manipulation...etc. Maybe my best bet is to go to an Apple store and get some basic help with it including reloading.
I'm still not clear on what's going on, but I don't think you need to reload anything.
If you've never done any backups, then you won't see anything when you click the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
If you want to start using Time Machine, you'll need an external HD, or perhaps a Time Capsule, for Time Machine to store the backups on. You set that up via +System Preferences > Time Machine.+ Once there are some backups, you should be able to view them via the Time Machine application.
You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Then post back with any questions.
