IPhoto Time Machine restore.

iMac went in to Apple store. Came out with a new HD and new install of Snow Leopard and iLife 08. When it went it originally it had an up to date, and what I thought was a slightly corrupted Leopard and iLife 08. Ok fine. SL, but no restore disks, why they did that I don't know.
So I fire up TM first thinking I want to do is restore at least iPhoto and iTunes. Took me a bit to realize that they created an initial account called admin. I created an account for me, same as I had it before when I had leopard and have the imac boot up into that account.
I fired up iPhoto go to Browse Backups, but I can't see any of my backups. After much fitzing about I do manage to recover a backup from about a month previous. It had to do with permissions between the backup and the current Snow Leopard.
I have TM backups going back months, but iPhoto does not see any of them.
TM itself shows the backups but I can not access any of them. I had to modify the permissions on the TM backups directly to recover things with TM.
Many of the folders had a tiny red ! on the corners of them relating to permissions.
So I start going through events and realize that I have the dreaded ! mark when clicking on a thumbnail. It is not all photos. I have an event with 20 photos, about 8 pics are there, but the rest are !. I did not modify any of the files in that event as I did not have time before the iMac started screwing up.
What do I do to recover backups I know are there and go back months?
And what was the point of having TM backups if I can not recover things easily after having apple techs in an apple store reinstall on a new HD?
Thanks.

Ok.
I must have done that but the problem is the apple store techs created an account called appletemp, and now appletemp is the only account that has RW permissions to the TM backups. The account I created for myself has no access to those backups. I have to manually add myself to the permissions on the Pictures folder. Is this the right way to handle that? How can I give myself permissions to my TM bacukps?
Thanks.

  • Iphoto-time machine - restore the iphoto file on an external dirve

    Hello Evrybody,
    I'm trying to restore an ebook from timemachine on my iphoto library.
    I'd like to restore only this file, but it doesn't seem to be possible.
    Time machine is able ONLY to restore the entire iphoto library, just ofr on file.
    Ok I decide to porceed in any case and restore the entire iphoto library( that is huge) but after hours of work timemachine sends the message"not enouth space on the hard disk, cannot restore the file". Of course I do not have such huge space available in my imac,
    Would it possible to restore the iphoto library on an external driver? how can I tell to timemachine to not restore it on my imac but on the external driver?
    thanks

    Try the following:
    Select the folder where your iPhoto library should be y in the Finder.
    Open TimeMachine and go back in time to the version of the library you want to restore.
    Select the iPhoto Library and ctrl-click it, or right click it.
    Select "Restore to" and select a folder on your external disk.

  • Iphoto & Time Machine: Restore Only a few pictures from an Event?

    Several month ago I trashed an event (and emptied Iphoto Trash). Now I would like to get that event back with those photos.
    I back up every night with Time Machine so I know months ago that specific event and photos should be located. What is the best and easiest way to find that event and collect it again? Can I "browse" the TM files to find it? or am I better entering TM to find it?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • After a time machine restore my iPhoto won't open

    A few days ago my iPhoto went completely crazy.  I had quadruples of some pictures and events.  My photo amount increased at least 300 percent to 222,000 pictures.  After reading about what to do I did a time machine restore to the iPhoto before this problem happened.  After restoring my iPhoto it won't open at all anymore.  I have version 9.5.1 of iPhoto.  I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite upgrade because a program that I use often is not compatible.  How do I get my iPhoto to open with the restores iPhoto?

    How did you do the "restore?" Did you restore the library from the pictures folder?

  • Cannot view photos after a Time Machine restore.

    Hello,
    I am running iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2. I attempted to install the SL 10.6.3 update on 3/31 and all of my CIFS shares become slow and unresponsive to the point they were not useable. I chose to do a full Time Machine restore from the TM backup I had initiated just prior to the 10.6.3 upgrade. Now the last 40 pictures I imported on 3/28 appear in the events but when i click on them I get the screen. I selected the iPhoto Library and exposed the contents of the package and the none of the pictures are in the originals directory. Why are the thumbnails still present but the photos are missing? i thought about performing a library rebuild, but it does not make sense if i cannot find the originals.
    Your help is greatly appreciated

    No there's no point in making a rebuild if the originals are not present. As to why this happened? More a question for the Time Machine folks.

  • Lost "Last Import" after Time Machine restore

    I recently had a hard drive fail on me but was up to date on Time Machine backups. So after a rebuild of 10.6.2, I restored my system from Time Machine. But now, I noticed that the last batch of pictures I imported before the hard drive went, are gone. They are still listed in iPhoto under Last Imported. And their Events Descriptions are showing up but all pictures are just empty grey squares, leading me to believe the links were lost. So I opened up the contents of the iPhoto Library and sure enough those file folders were gone also.
    Any ideas what could have happened? Maybe ways to get them back?
    I'm assuming the pictures are gone at this point - about 215 including my son's 3rd Birthday. Fortunately though, I have lo-rez versions on my iPhone.

    Experienced this myself today with the latest iPhoto on a Time Machine restore after a failed hard drive.
    I would guess the cause is that iPhoto writes the 'last import' into a cache file, and not to the Originals folder on the hard drive until the next import. Since Time-Machine excludes many cache files from its backup to save time and space from meaningless change (caches should always be able to be rebuilt), the photos were never copied to the backup drive.
    However, this is merely a guess, and is the only reason I could fathom as to why Time Machine did not back up photos that have been on the disk for over a month. Quick testing with local files wrote directly to the disk, which makes me think it may be only from a camera or some other device, but I am not sure exactly.
    If someone happens to find a way to get back the photos, let us know. Exploring the iPhoto library in Time Machine yielded me nothing, neither did rebuilding the cache database or looking for orphaned photos.

  • ALL Photos missing after Time Machine restore  (help)

    So, I accidently formated the wrong drive while in Windows, (big oops) which gave me the opportunity to take Time Machine for a test drive.
    I put the DVD in, and was able to restore from the TIme Machine drive. Very impressed! Everything came back just as I had left it except - whats this? The default Leopard wallpaper instead of a picture of my son? Huh strange, I thought. Until I noticed I had no photos in iPhoto.
    There seems to be reminents of photos in the iphoto database - the size is 1.3gb instead of the 7gb it used to be. But 0 photos in iPhoto 08.
    I went into iPhoto and choose File/Browse Backups. I selected Nov 8th, which was the last day of my backup and showed all 7000+ photos, and clicked "Restore All". This brought up something odd - a 2nd iPhoto icon in the dock, which showed a progress bar for the restore. Once the restore was completed, I still had a 2nd iPhoto icon the the bar, which was iPhoto running - but no photos in iphoto! I exited the 2nd iphoto, which disappeared, and launched my normal Iphoto icon. Still no photos! (That just seems odd that it would launch iPhoto with a 2nd icon)
    So, I moved my iphoto database, and launch iPhoto in order to create a fresh database - thinking maybe that was the issue. I then did File/Restore again, and went through the whole processes again, including the odd 2nd icon. Still, no photos! And another 1.3gb iphoto database!
    Is it normal for a Time Machine restore to not include your photos? Surely you are not supposed to restore them separately from within Iphoto?
    What do I do now? At this point, everything went very well - except no photos! Which is awful and not at all expected! 7000+ family photos! At least, if I ask iPhoto/Time Machine to restore 'all photos' you would think it would restore 'all photos' - not show a progress bar, and then show me no photos!
    p.s. I just tooked at the iPhoto Library. The 1.3gb is in /Data/ which contains folders 2000-2007, my Events, and thumbnails of all the photos - but no actual photos (the 'Originals' folder is missing).
    I then went back in time, and found the 8gb iPhoto Library database. I supposed I could copy it over manually via Time Machine, and not iPhoto's Restore/TM - but - i'm so far off track of how this should have went I don't know what to think!
    p.s.s. So I did just that - copied the 8gb iPhoto Library manually from TM, and pasted it in place. I help down option, and launch iPhoto, selecting the 8gb library - and BOOM... no photos!
    Something is #$%# up here.

    This is what it says in the help file:
    Reverting to a previous Mac OS X version
    If you’ve used Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily revert to a previous version of Mac OS X if you’re experiencing trouble after installing an update.
    IMPORTANT: Reverting to the previous version of Mac OS X will erase any additions or changes you’ve made to the files on your computer after installing the new version of Mac OS X. To save new or revised files, copy them onto a different disk or back them up using Time Machine before you follow these instructions. Use Time Machine only if you’re reverting to a previous version of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), since Time Machine is not available with Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
    To revert to a previous version of Mac OS X:
    Insert the disc you used to install the new version of Mac OS X, and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
    In the Installer, choose Utilities > Restore System From Backup.
    In the Restore Your System dialog, click Continue.
    Select your Time Machine backup volume.
    Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore. To restore your computer to the state it was in before you installed a new version of Mac OS X, choose the most recent backup.
    Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you backed up any individual files as described under the Important message above, you can restore them now. If you backed them up using Time Machine, recover them using the Time Machine application. (You’ll find the Time Machine application in the Dock or in the Applications folder.)
    Hope this helps

  • Why did Mail do an upgrade/import after Time Machine restore?

    I just did a full Time Machine restore of my Mac after a hard drive issue (Yosemite). Everything looks OK overall, but when I launched Mail.app, it did a full upgrade/import, as though I'd just upgraded from an earlier version and needed to update the database. Is that normal? Why is it necessary? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    exclamation point when trying to view an individual image).
    The exclamation point is an indication that iPhoto has lost the link/file path to the original file. Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    Click to view full size
    If you're running a "managed" library try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Undo time machine restore

    Hello, is it possible to undo a Time Machine restore on a new setup and start again? I had an iMac that I backed up to Time Machine and then bought a new iMac (May 2012). When setting up the new iMac I chose to install a copy of my old iMac from Time Machine. The new iMac is now a perfect copy of the old one..... only I really just wanted a totally fresh start. Can I undo this process so that I can set up the new iMac as if it is just a new computer and can this be done without damaging the backup of the old iMac that I have on my Time Capsule? Lastly, can I subsequently just take the photos that are part of the old iMac backup on the Time Capsule and save those to my new iMac.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Last question first:
    iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location
    If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it
    If you start you iMac in Restore mode you can effectively wipe and reinstall Lion, fresh and new.

  • Time Machine restored an older version of my system

    Hi!
    I had to wipe my drive clean before bringing my macbook pro to applecare technicians, and restored the whole back up from time machine upon reinstalling.
    Now I realize there are weird discrepancies between my backups and what is reinstalled. I had the latest version of Leopard installed originally, but Time Machine restored the version from the DVD (10.5.1) - so I have the old version of iTunes, for example. I did pick to move ALL my old files back, including the system prefs and apps.
    How weird, right?
    Or is that normal? Since I have to bring my machine back to the techs on Monday (I will wipe it clean again), anything I can do to avoid this in the future? I'd love to have just one button to push and my computer would be back up and running Tuesday morning, as it is today, with no difference.
    Let me know what you think?
    Thanks!

    Princess Karlotta wrote:
    Oh crap. I didn't do that. I waited until the end of the install and chose the "migrate my info back from a TM backup" or something like that.
    That's the +Setup Assistant+ (see #19 in the FAQ Tip).
    It gives you 4 yes/no options: Users, Applications, Settings, Other Files and Folders.
    Now I wonder whether I should do that. It sounds a bit like a pain (I had like 560 new emails, and I downloaded 1500 pictures from my camera since then) but maybe it won't be as horrible asfinding out all the bugs and discrepancies on the way.
    What would you advise?
    First, if you haven't already, download and install the "combo" update to get back to the proper version of Leopard. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate (If you weren't on 10.5.8, change the last digit of the link accordingly). Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.
    Then you've got three options:
    Have you done any backups since the reinstall? If not, you can use +Migration Assistant+ in your Applications/Utilities folder. It's almost the same as +Setup Assistant.+ Choose Applications (and Settings, if you didn't before). If you have done backups since then, this won't work, as +Migration Assistant+ uses the most recent backup -- you don't get a choice like you do with the full restore.
    If all you omitted were Applications, you should be able to selectively restore the ones you're missing with the normal "Star Wars" display.
    I don't think it's a good idea, but if you have done new backups, you could do the full restore from the last backup before you reinstalled (in that case you don't need the "combo" update). That will, of course, erase all the new data.
    Then use the normal "Star Wars" display to selectively restore the new stuff from the last backup. Take a look at #15 in the FAQ Tip -- depending on where the new emails are, you may be able to selectively restore from the various mailboxes, then move the restored items into the proper mailboxes.
    Ditto your photos. Again there's special handling for iPhoto, but if you tell it to restore the whole thing, you'll get a prompt about what to do with duplicates, so although it may take a while, you should be able to get them all back.
    But if you have a lot of other things, and aren't real sure what and where they are, this could be trouble.
    Think about this, and post back if I've missed something or you have more specifics or questions.

  • Update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 blown - Time Machine Restore blown

    Hello,
    summary of events:
    Update form 10.7.02 to 10.7.3 went wrong
    After Time Machine Restore no more Recovery Partion
    Lost about what to do
    On Saturday, I startet to update 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 on my MB Pro 15" (2007) Apples Software Update showed the combo update, and so I started download and installation. Just before that, I had run Time Machine on an external USB drive, so I was relaxed.
    After about 2 hours, the update was still running with no progress. After another hour, I forced a restart. Not very suprisingly, after the login, the wheel beneath the Apple logo kept on running.
    So I restarted from the Recovery Partition, selected my Time Machine-Backup from the external USB drive, selected my internal HD as target and clicked on "go".
    While the progress bar showed progress, I waited. Then it seemed to be complete and the MBP restarted. Now I got a folder with a question mark. My heart rate did not yet accelerate, since I had a back up, right?
    So I restarted again trying to boot from Recovery Partition - BUT, there was no longer a Recovery Partition. Or at least, nothing I could boot from.
    What options do I have? I could get my hands on a DVD that contains an Lion installation from the app store, but that is not the most recent version, as far as I can tell. If I would go that  way:
    Does the version of the Lion-app matter?
    Will it create a Recovery Partition?
    If not, how else could I restore a complete Time-Machine backup?
    Any help and suggestions are very welcome :-)
    Regards
    Jimbo
    Naturally, I a am mad as **** at Apple. First, that they abandoned physical media for Mac OS distribution, and secondly that some not so bright lad thought it not necessary to secure the availability of the Recovery Partition under any circumstances short of phyical damage. This really *****, guys!

    Ok... I'm not sure if the following suggestions will work with Filevault 2 enabled. I guess you can try after you create a backup for safety.
    You can recreate the Recovery HD two ways. One is to reinstall Lion using a bootable USB thumb drive of the Recovery HD created with the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. Or from a bootable USB thumb drive with the Lion installer restored to it.
    A second way, which I have used many times, is to follow the instuctions at this site using Terminal commands. Step 3 is what you want to follow. The instructions use the RecoveryHDUpdate.dmg file downloaded from Apple to recreate the Recovery HD. It works great!

  • How do I safely stop a Time Machine Restore midway through?

    I started a Time Machine restore from backup at about 1pm this afternoon.
    After about 15 minutes of estimating the size of the files to be transferred, it gave me a 19hr estimate for transfer time. I had heard that it could take awhile, so I wasn't totally blown away by the number.
    I'm backing up about 200 GB. Well, I'm about 2 hours into it, and the time remaining has been fluctuating from 19+ hours to 14 hours. I'm at about 18 hours right now.
    I'm beginning to question the ethernet cable I'm using to transfer the data, and wishing I used a USB 2.0. I've also read up on a bunch of other threads about how painfully slow Time Machine can be, and there seems to be little rhyme or reason as to when it's slow vs when it's somewhat reasonable.
    So, I guess there are two questions.
    Question 1) Can I safely power down, swap cables, and retry? What happens to the data that's already been pulled over?
    Question 2) Should I just let it run for the next 18 hrs? I've also read other horror stories where people return to their machines after the time estimated, and it's hardly budged.
    Any help would be AWESOME! If i could give you a billion help points, i would!

    Was doing a full restore from scratch - I lost a hard drive on Monday, and just got a new one put in. Turns out the estimate was about right, as I'm now writing this from my restored machine.
    Yay!
    I was restoring from a Time Capsule. For some reason I just assumed it had a USB port.
    Ah, yes, it does, but it's for connecting a printer or USB drive, not a Mac.
    My concern that i would come back to it this morning and find it still updating has been put to rest. Phew!
    Glad it's sorted out, but it does seem like there may be a problem -- that's awfully slow. See #D2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    And be forewarned: since you have a new drive, Time Machine's next backup will almost certainly be a full one, so remain connected via Ethernet. If there isn't enough free space for that, it will take an extremely long time for Time Machine to delete a lot of old backups to make room. You might consider manually deleting a lot of them, per #12 in [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).

    They are not errors, they are warnings and informative statements, but not real errors and they can be ignored as you will find when you search
    for the other posts about this exact same topic.
    If you uncheck the Show Details" box in DU, you will only see real errors and these will not show up.
    Yes they are annoying, and if you read my other post you get more information.

  • Can I use a Time Machine restore from an older OS to Mavericks?

    I ask because I tried about 2 years ago and had no luck. Here's a little back-story so my situation isn't confusing...
    My iMac (2010) has been having tons of issues lately. More specifically, when I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks last week, it came back with S.M.A.R.T. errors after a scan, so it wouldn't allow me to update. So, in preparation for the HDD to crap out on me, I did frequent back-ups using Time Machine. Well, the day finally came and my iMac won't "turn on" anymore. When I turn it on, it sits at the Mac loading screen for several minutes and then just goes to a blank white screen. (NOTE: This isn't part of my question but if anyone has any suggestions on fixing this, please let me know, thanks!)
    So, back to my question. If I buy a new iMac or a new macbook or whatever, will it be possible to use my Time Machine back-ups to restore everything on it or will it not allow me to because the operating systems are different? As mentioned, I attempted to make a restore on my friend's macbook that I purchased as a spare but when I tried, it came back saying "Different operating systems, cannot restore" or something to that degree. Is there a way around this? Do I have to somehow downgrade the OS on my new machine?
    Luckily, I use iTunes for all my movies/music & Adobe Creative cloud so I can easily restore those on any machine but my desktop personal data, photos, etc are on the Time Machine restore. Help me if you can, thanks in advance!

    If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing. They can also give you an estimate.

  • How do I know which id to delete and insure time machine restore?

    I had a glitch on my computer of the screen going black at random. I also had a recall on my imac for the segate drive which was replaced once. I brought it to the apple store after a week then determined there was no recall on my new drive and reinstalled Mt Lion to get rid of the black screen issue. Now here is the problem i got home and plugged in my ext drive for a time machine restore. I restored everthing using migrate assitant except the applications and desktop. I was asked to create another user name for the transfer. I don't understand why i had to do this so just slightly changed my id name. I now need to find the desktop data and can't find it under either names. I searched the drive direct and found the  info is there but migrate assitant doesn't show it. I tryed to restore back some other files but it was me to changed the name of the restore using migrate assitant again. How many ids do I need?  How do I blow way the 2nd id without gettting rid of my backup on the ext drive. I am so confussed now and can't figure out which  admin id has the info and which doesn't .  I don't even know if the info made it to the imac hard drive.  help!!!
