Move Picasa photos to Time Capsule
How do I move my photos that we use Picasa with to my Time Capsule so I can use th TC as a media server?
Apple do not have exactly what you want.
There is nothing wrong with TM and backing up to a TC. But you want to move files off your computer. That is totally different.. what you want is indeed a server.
Since there is nothing directly available like a real NAS with backup and media capability.. the best option is a Mac Mini.. it does not have to be the latest .. but I would say any since 2010 will have more than enough power for the job. You need a big hard disk and since the internal is limited in the mini due to using 2.5" drives you are better buying the largest and fastest interface hard drive you can get.. ie 2TB or 3TB FW800 is far superior to USB2. Or a bit later mini will have thunderbolt.. hugely fast but expensive.. or very latest USB3, which is a good combo of speed and cheap. But you have to spend the extra on the mini.
If you have an old laptop or imac etc .. it could also be setup for the same task, although not as suitable as the mini which does make a good low power consumption media server.
Do not forget backup as that is still just as important. A second hard disk plugged like USB2 which is dirt cheap (but always buy usb3 for future high speed connection, they are just a few dollars more) plugged into the mini makes excellent backup.. TM works better to local drive and you do not load down your network.
This is plainly going to cost more than a TC.. but is a better concept all round.
Your whole network can use TM backup to the mini .. see

Which is effectively going to function as the TC for backups.

How to find photo in time capsule
Is it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying apertureIs it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying aperture
No. Aperture works just ltke iPhoto as far as trying to go back and find photos that were deleted.
You must go back in time to the point where the photos were still on your computer and then restore the entire iPhoto library as a separate library, keeping your current library as well. Then, open iPhoto using the "restored" library, browse to find the photos that you want and export them to the desktop.
Then, open iPhoto again using your current library, and import the photos from the desktop back into the current library. When you are sure that you have everything back in the current library, you can delete the old library and that you restored, and the exported items on the desktop since you no longer need these copies.
This is a lot of work. Pondini has some tips and workarounds for you here:

Finding deleted photo in time capsule
Is it easier finding a deleted photo in time capsule using aperture, than iphoto?
Considering buying apertureAperture and iPhoto are sharing exactly the same format for the photo library. To restore deleted photos from a Time Machine backup you will need to restore the iPhoto library or Aperture library. That is the same for both applications.

Can i to see directly with Apple-TV the movie presents in my Time Capsule?
I would like to know if can I to see directly with Apple-TV the movie presents in my Time Capsule?
Thank you very much in advance for your support. (sorry for my english)Unless your Macbook is recent and supports Airplay you would need a third party app such as Airparrot to Airplay video to AppleTV - this will not work with Apple's DVD Player though but may work with VLC.
Methods of conversion of DVDs to play on AppleTV cannot be discussed on Apple's fora due to their terms and conditions.

HT5022 How to share my photos from time capsule external drive over the internet.
I saw some article that, i can share my photos from time capsule drive over the internet. Also, heard it can be done through manual configuration of time capsule. Firstly, i do not see such option in my time capsule configuration. I did a factory reset assuming, i might have configured through auto mode for the first time (that could be the reason why i don't see manual option). Now, i don't know, how can i share my images over the internet frome time capsule drive, without using my mac book system up and running all the time.. I wanted to create a secured user id/password to let the other users to access my network share drive. Is that possible?
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip on how your Time Capsule can be accessed from the Internet to get you started.

How can I restore photos from Time Capsule/Machine w/o getting lots of duplicates?
Hi All,
I recently "lost" some photos and tried going into Time Capsule/Machine to restore them. I went to applications, opened Time Machine, got the "Star Wars" like screen, scrolled to the appropriate date (I thought), clicked on that date, went to my user name, clicked on Pictures and then clicked on iPhoto Library. It asked me if I wanted to create a copy called iPhoto Library2 and I said yes.
Next I clicked on restore and it began restoring my iPhoto Library from that day. Unfortunately it created copy after copy after copy of each photo, hundreds!! And it broke down each photo into faces. Again and again and again. Bottom line is that since I must have picked the wrong date my pics weren't there.
I decided to delete iPhoto Library 2 and there were some 130,000 items to delete. Then it took about 24 hours to secure empty my trash.
So my question is how can I avoid this next time? I really want to get these photos back but am afraid to try it again.
Thanks in advance for any advice! They are of my 19 year old niece's visit to Australia so the pressure is on!
Kindest regards,
BeckyYou might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library. What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date. If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library. Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
Not tidy but it seems it will work.

I recovered photos from time capsule files show but are empty
I have a macbook pro that needed a new harddrive. I backed up iphoto and put it on my new harddrive from time capsule. The photo files show up and the correct number of images but no images show up. How can I retrieve them?
We are not iPhoto experts here......they are over the iPhoto support area.
So, your best bet is to ask over there......iPhoto
In general, you need to restore the entire iPhoto library from the Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule. It is located in your Pictures folder.
Once the iPhoto library has been restored to the Pictures folder on your Mac, you will need to "point" iPhoto at that library by holding down the option key on your Mac while you click to start the iPhoto application on the dock.
These are general guidelines, not specific instructions, which should come from the iPhoto experts. -
I have a Time Machine backup on an Apple Time Capsule (the flat white one), and there are a few photos I simply cannot find!!! I've been through the various photo folders and photo library. Where else can I look? They are photos of a family dog in his puppy years!!
ThanksDoes the library open and there are no photos in it? If so, iPhoto may have just created a new library after encountering a problem with the original one. You can check by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto. If there is more than one library, check each one for the missing images. (You may also want to check the Pictures folder and the trash for any other libraries)
If you are sure the library that you are opening is the original and should contain the photos, check the file size of the library. If it's in the GBs than chances are rebuilding the library will recover them (Hold command and option while opening iPhoto, then select the option from the menu) -
Trouble playing movie files off of Time Capsule
I have a bunch of videos stored on my time capsule that I want to play on my mini sitting under my tv. Quicktime stutters and stalls whether it's the original canon camera movie files or the compressed divx/xvid version. I thought with a new mini Mac using wireless N I would not have this problem. Are there any buffer settings I can set to give quicktime a little more room to breathe? Perhaps someone can recommend another video player that has a buffer setting for network files? Or a better way to compress/convert files so quicktime can play them smoothly? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Go back into QuickTime Player, Window menu, Show Movie Info and check the Format: field again - it should list the audio format as well. Perhaps its AC3 ?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.
iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using. -
Can't move event files to Time Capsule
I'm using iMovie '09 (v. 8.0.5) and have an event that takes up a lot of hard drive space that I'd like to move to an external hard drive (in this case, my Time Capsule).
I know I cannot do this with Finder, so I go into iMovie's Event Library, and try to drag the Event folder into the Time Capsule which also shows up in the Event Library. The problem is the TC that appears in the Event Library has a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, so I cannot drag the Event folder into it.
The TC's format is listed as AppleShare. Is this the problem? I remember reading somewhere that in order to move Events from iMovie to an external drive the drive must be Extended, or Journaled, or something. If this is the case, can I re-format my TC and still have it work just as well for Time Machine? And can it be re-formated without wiping all the data off the drive, or do I have to back it all up somewhere, re-format, and then re-import it?iMovie does not work with drives connected over a network. Probably for performance reasons, but not sure.
Some people have been able to get around this limitation by creating symbolic links (or symlinks).

Can you pull photos from Time Capsules into iPhoto for editing?
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and Time Capsule. What I want to do is keep all of my old pictures on the Time Capsule but be able to have them readily available in iPhoto. Is that possible? Basically ave them apear in iPhoto like they are native but in reality they are residing only on the Time Capsule.
There is great danger in doing this due to the slow disk access time on the Time Capsule.
If there is any break in communications between the iPhoto application on your Mac and the iPhoto library on the Time Capsule, the library can become easily corrupted, rendering it useless.
Simply stated, I would never do this. Please post in the iPhoto support area to confirm with the iPhoto experts.
If you decide to try this anyway, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable. Do not use wireless.
You will also have to figure out a way to back up your iPhoto library that is on the Time Capsule to yet another hard drive.
A better plan to consider would be this:
Add a USB or FireWire hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac.
Move the iPhoto library to the hard drive.
Then, Time Machine will be able to back up both your Mac and the attached hard drive to the Time Capsule. So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another. -
