Why are my images dimmed out in Time Machine

I have been using TIme Machine with Time Capsule for about a month. I just noticed that when i enter time machine application and I look in Finder, that "all images" and all the other items under Search are dimmed out. Any explanations?
thanks

I have this too, and i'm pretty sure it's not a bug, it's a feature. I think they want you to restore your photos from iPhoto, but I don't know about the others. The only thing I can think of is that TM does this to make sure you know what you're backing up, or maybe it doesn't know where the files are supposed to go if you work from there.

  • Are the image files on a Time Machine backup password protected?

    I have had a hard drive hooked up to my AirPort Express, backing up my computers to it using Time Machine.
    Now, the hard drive is broken and I have to return it to the dealer to have it replaced as it is still covered by their warranty.
    My question is, will they be able to access my personal data?
    I have to enter a password to access the disk over the network, does this mean the image files on it are also password protected?
    I know it's not very likely they have any interest in browsing my files, but I don't like the idea to just give everything away.
    The disk won't spin so I can't format the drive.

    If the disk isn't spinning it is unlikely to be repaired.. And if you passworded the disk people would need the password to access although given time all those things can be broken.. I would say you have little to fear.

  • Why is file "image backup" empty in time machine ?

    I've notice that when time machine does a backup to an external drive it creates a file "image backup" I would like to know why is this file empty? I've check through all my backups and everytime this file appears to be empty.
    Also when Time Machine does a backup of your computer, then all the photos from photobooth should appear in the photobooth library file right?

    That's a backup copy of a file in your home Pictures folder. I don't know what it is.

  • Why is repair disk grayed out for Time Machine backup?

    I am running Mountain Lion on an old MacBook Pro 15" Late 2008 with 6GB ram.
    I am using (or trying to successfully use) Time Machine with a 2TB Time capsule (about 4 months old). I also have an old WD 500GB usb drive attached to the TC.
    After being away on vacation for a week or so, I got the dreaded "Time Machine need to create a new backup" message.
    I have searched the great Pondini's very helpful website and I've got to the point of using disk utility to try to repair the backup.
    After running disk utility it gave me this message:
    Invalid sibling link
    The volume Time Machine Backups was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
    Well, I can verify the backup, but the Repair Disk button is grayed out.
    Pondini,
    I need your help.... again.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    That message means what it says:  Time Machine will not back up to that sparsebundle again.
    As detailed in #C13 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting, you may be able to recover selected files, or even restore an entire backup, but that's it. 
    Well, I can verify the backup, but the Repair Disk button is grayed out.
    OSX does that when it's already determined it can't repair it.
    If you have DiskWarrior, it might be able to fix it, but I doubt it. I don't recall any posts saying it did.  If you don't, I'd not recommend spending $100 ro find out.

  • Why won't trash clear out old time machine folders?

    I have moved older folders into trash and when I click on Empty secure trash, it loads, gives me the banded progress, the goes away, never giving me the solid band that it is clearing out trash.
    Any suggestions?

    You're not supposed to delete folders from within Time Machine. Time Machine uses very specific journalling and indexing and if you delete folders in there you run the risk of losing all access to your backups.
    That being said try emptying the trash non-securely. If that is not visible as an option go into Finder -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck Empty Trash Securely.

  • Why are my images coming out of CS5 Photoshop granulated and pixelated after saving?

    I am new to CS5 Design Premium. I use a Canon 50D and shoot in RAW format. I upload my pictures into Bridge and do most of my editing in Camera Raw, then I open the object into Photoshop where I save the image into a folder. I save each image as a .psd file AND a .jpg file. I save an extra as a .jpg so I can upload to my website and to order from the lab I use.
    My question is: Why is it that my pictures are so granulated when I open them back up? They look completely fine on the screen but when I re-open them or upload them to my site, they look terrible. Have I messed up something with the formating/file size/ppi...? 8-bit, 16-bit? PPI...?
    I am confused here and highly discouraged from using my new program....HELP PLEASE!!

    Are you seeing this problem, when you Import those PSD's into a Premiere Pro Project, or in Photoshop?
    If the former, have you done the Scaling to match the Frame Size of Sequence in PrPro? If not, this ARTICLE will be helpful. Note: in Video, DPI/PPI is meaningless, and only pixel x pixel dimensions matter.
    If the latter, you will want to post to the Photoshop Forum.
    Good luck,

  • Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

    Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
    Thanks

    I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
    <img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
    or this:
    <img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
    Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
    Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
    Hope this helps,

    It's not real clear what you want to do.
    Do you mean you don't want to back up your personal data at all, just the operating system?  If so, why?  Usually it's the personal data -- documents, photos, videos, etc., that are most important to folks, so should be backed-up.
    Or do you mean, you have some sensitive data that you don't want anyone to be able to recover if they get your backup disk?  If so, Time Machine can encrypt the backups, so anyone without a backup can't recover anything.
    Or something else?

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • I threw out 24 time machine backups from an external hard drive into my desktop trash and now I can't empty my trash.

    I threw out 24 time machine backups from an external hard drive into my IMac desktop trash and now I can't empty my trash.

    Since you didn't mention what type of error message you were seeing, I'm going to guess on what is happening.
    I'm guessing that since you threw away Time Machine backups, that Time Machine is probably active on your Mac. There is a chance then that the files you tossed are marked as in use. You can't delete files that are in use.
    Try turning Time Machine off, then restart your Mac. Then try deleting them again.
    Once done, turn Time Machine back on.

  • Why are my images only showing as links on websites?

    Why are almost all of my images showing up as a link to the image. I put a code in right for embedded images but when i refresh or re-visit the page with the embedded image it is no longer embedded. It shows up as a link to the image which is quite annoying. I have followed everything here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show but none of it applies to me. I have reinstalled and checked everything in that website page.

  • Why are my emails printing out with a very small font

    why are all my emails printing out in a very small font? It takes a magnifying glass to read them.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few weeks ago

    Go to: file menu
    print preview
    check scale (mine was defaulting to 50%)
    change to 100%
    print
    Fix it for me and the scale reset for future printing
