IPhoto only showing most recent version in time machine

When I access time machine with iPhoto open, I get the current iPhoto screen, and then a series of blank screens behind it.  The date bar to the right shows that I should have backups as far as Feb 2012.  If I mouse over to them, they zoom out to show exact dates.  If I click on one of these dates, nothing happens.  I gave it 5 minutes sitting quiety just in case it was having trouble loading all the photos.  No dice.  The photos are in fact on the time machine backup drive, as I can access them manually by going to the specific backup set, finding iPhoto library, show package contents and navigate to the picture I want.  So, it's there... just can't get to it via TM. 
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks,
Tom

Move your cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a ‘+’, then click and drag right.

  • IPhoto 08 only showing most recent import

    iPhoto 08 is only showing my most recent import, and the sidebar to the left has disappeared. The Library is still there, and presumably healthy at 21GB. I can see it fine in Time Machine, where I can see the sidebar and the Show Recent Import (or whatever that's called) is checked.
    But I can't seem to find a way to show the sidebar in iPhoto, or through any other means or menu choice choose to Show All.
    I feel like, but don't know, this complication arose when I started using the camera with my new iPhone 3GS. That is the new import that iPhoto 08 is choosing to show me.
    Many thanks for any help.

  • History only shows most recent.

    When I search for some web page I visited in a previous day, only those sites I visited today show up , regardless of whether I select "last week" or "last 6 months" or "today". Is there some setting I should change to keep all my history sorted out and accessible?

    I think that you only see the last visit date of a web page and pages that you have visited in the time frame are included, but they show with the most recent visit of that web page and not when you visited in that time frame (there might also be multiple visits in that time frame).<br />
    This makes pages that you visit regularly show up in every time frame with their last visit date.
    I can see that with this query for November and sort by location:
    place:beginTime=1383260400000000&endTime=1385852400000000&sort=4&type=1

  • Itunes only showing most recent podcast

    Apologies is this hasn't been asked before.
    I use Libsyn to host my 'FIFA 08' podcast. It hosts it fine and works through iTunes but it only shows the most recent podcast; ignoring all the previously posted ones.
    I spoke to the tech guys at libsyn and they said everything was setup correctly on their end and suggested it was an iTunes issue.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    thanks

    I'm seeing 5 episodes listed on your page in the iTunes Store, and 6 episodes (the latest being today's) when I subscribe. No doubt this 6th episode will appear in the iTunes Store too when it next crawls your feed.
    So maybe the problem you're seeing is with your install of iTunes? Have you tried looking at the iTunes Store from a different computer?

  • Only show most recent message

    If you receive a reply to a message you have sent, in Mail the reply ALSO shows your original message. Is there a way of setting up mail so it only shows the reply, not the original message(s) as well? And I want to set this up for the messages I've already received, not just new messages coming in.

    No, that's something that the other person is doing. Just as when YOU reply to a message, you can choose to include the original message or not. You can set your own reply preferences in Mail (Mail - Preferences - Composing - Quote the text of the original message), but you cannot control other people's mail client settings.

  • What's the most recent opinion about Time Machine backups to Hard Drives connected to the USB port on the Airport Extreme Base Station (5th generation)?

    I have been searching the Apple communities and Internet for a final answer.  I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station (5th generation) and LaCie d2 quadra 1TB external drive as a replacement for TWO failed Time Capsules, neither of which Apple would replace due to failed power supplies.  I formatted the 1TB drive using Disk Utility (Mac OS extended (journaled)) from my MacBook Pro, and then plugged into the Airport Extreme Base Station USB port.  The Airport Extreme Base Station see the Hard Drive, and my MacBook Pro sees the Hard Drive in my finder under shared resources.  Time Machine, however, does not see the drive.  Is there a solution for this problem?  If Time Machine will not work, is there another software product out there that will work, like Carbon Copy.  Having to plug the backup drive into the USB port of your laptop every evening kind of defeats the purpose of having a laptop.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Keeping in mind that this is not supported by Apple, I have been successful at doing the following:
    1) Format the entire drive (1 Partition) as Mac Extended (Journaled). You must click in Options and set it as a GUID Partition Table (first option)
    2) Plug drive via USB to AEBS
    3) Using Airport Utility, use Manual Setup, then under Disks, select the new Disk and click File Sharing, then Enable File Sharing and Secured Shared Disks (recommended, of course). Other settings are up to you.
    4) IMPORTANT: you will NOT see this Disk in Time Machine until you open Finder and double-click on it. You will not need to do this again (hopefully).
    5) Now it should appear in Time Machine. Remember to exclude any large files like Virtual Machines, since they will be re-backed-up (is that a word?) every time it changes in any way.
    6) Remember that the first backup (over WiFi) is the longest. Leave the computer alone during this period.
    Good luck, and let us all know how it went for you!

  • I just updated my iPhoto to the most recent version along with updating to OS lion.  I had transferred all of my photos to my iPhoto and turned on photo stream so I could view them on my iPad.  when I tried to open my iPhoto today it would not allow me to

    It keeps saying that i need to choose a library to open.  When i look for a library I find the iphoto in my pictures folder but it shows up as a folder not as a  iphoto icon.  How can I get it to use that library again?

    It sounds like that Library is damaged. Restore from your back up is the simple surefire solution.

  • IPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version

    I have an early 2009 mac pro desktop with 6 megs of ram. iPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version to work but the most recent version won't work either because I have Mountain Lion. I downloaded iPhoto from the App store and the store said "you can't download the most recent version because you don't have Mavericks - would you like to download an older version?" So I said yes and downloaded it. It is actually the Mavericks version that downloads anyway. So I used an older version from my other computer and updated it to version 9.4.3. When I try to open it it says you need the most recent version. My library is on an external drive which was downgraded from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion because Mavericks wouldn't work properly on my computer. Now no version will open.
    What can I do? Thank you for your help in advance.

    The exact error message is:
    THe library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened. To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto. Then the Quit button is at the bottom of the dialog box.
    I did install iPhoto 9.5 when I installed Mavericks, Keep in mind that all of my photos are not on the boot drive but they are on an external drive. I then got rid of Mavericks and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion then I copied the contents of a previous drive that only had Mountain Lion on it. 9.5 wouldn't open in Mountain Lion so I copied an older version from another computer and updated it to 9.4.3. 9.4.3 says you must upgrade to the latest version and 9.5 says you need an older version. So I am stuck now.

  • Since downloading the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I open iTunes

    Since installing the most recent version of iTunes, I have to accept the software terms and conditions every time I go in to iTunes.  I sign in to my account, but when I re-open iTunes, as well as having to accept the terms and conditions before continuing, I find that iTunes has logged me out of my account.  None of this has happened before.  I am using a PC with Windows 8.

  • I updated my 2009 Mac to Mountain Lion yesterday but cannot add photos from my iPhoto library to contacts anymore. Drop down menu only shows "default, recent and camera" but I cannot get to iPhoto library.

    I upgraded my 2009 Mac to Mountain Lion yesterday but cannot add photos from my iPhoto library to contacts anymore. Drop down menu only shows "default, recent and camera" but I cannot get to iPhoto library. Help stated to choose Faces but I don't even get that far. How do I fix. Still works on iPad but not on Mac.

    When you have iPhoto and Contacts open and try to drag a picture for iPhoto to the Contacts photo frame do you get a + symbol? if not you should!  from there the the pop menu should appear and then you can select the picture and click on done

  • At times, I receive a notice from a site that Firefox needs an update. When I go to FIrefox, it says I am using the most recent version. What goes?

    I am wondering if these sites are trying to get me to download Malware or viruses. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I am using the most recent version, I believe what Mozilla is telling me and ask myself "why would a site tell me I need to update"? I only trust Mozilla and will not blindly download something without investigating. Am I being paranoid?

    Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions, and I hope others do not fall for this. It usually happens with the site:
    1Channel
    or
    PrimeWire.ag (This is the name for the new 1 Channel due to its being hijacked)

  • My Viewing area only shows one photo at a time now :(

    Yesterday I noticed that my viewing area only shows one photo at a time. It used to display thumbnails of all the photos in the selected event - or library. Now, I'm forced to scroll down and view them one at a time or go into edit mode to see some thumbnails across the top of the screen.
    Did I accidently do this? Was it part of an OS update? (I've been away for a month and just don't think I did anything to cause a change...) Can anyone tell me how to view all the thumbnails in the viewing area again?
    I'm using iphoto 08 version 7.1.5 (378)
    I would very much appreciate some help with this.

    Thank you so much!! I love simple answers. I actually spent a few hours on this - seemed to play and test all the settings - and I just didn't understand this application of that slider.
    Thank you again.
    I'm very happy.

  • How do I find and backup only my most recent downloads?

    Does anyone have a better solution than mine for finding and backing-up only my most recent downloads? I'm trying to make my network backups and external hard drive backups faster, by only backing-up my incremental downloads, rather than all my music every time. I created an iTunes Music sub-folder called My Music:\2005, into which I download all new purchased music. I still add the entire My Music folder to my iTunes library, so I can play all of the files, but new downloads and CD's rip into the 2005 sub-folder. I can find my most recent files, and only back those up, as I know the other files in My Music have already been backed-up. Let me know if you have a simpler solution. Thanks.

    Thanks, Lawrence. Someone at work looked at my iTunes Preferences, I think it was, and verified that a backup had been done at 10:54AM today. (Personally, I've never looked to find a date/time stamp for this -- just took it for granted that it happened as expected!)
    Since I know now that the backup was done right before the phone froze on me, I 'risked' doing a Restore, which is taking most of half an hour. I'm pretty confident I will be up and running in a few minutes. If not, I'll be looking for a cocktail or two in a bit!
    PS: I did copy all my Photostream photos into a separate folder on iPhoto .... just in case they got wiped in the Restore.
