Where are my photos in Time Machine?

I use the Photos app to save my photos. When I click on the Photos app in TM, all I see is the front sheet so to speak of the Photos, not my photos app.  Where are they in TM, or aren't?  I got rid of iPhotos long time cos he's old.  Please notify.

If you back up your library of Photos with Time Machine, then your photos are in the library of Photos in Time Machine - you do not directly access their (or anything else) in the TimeMachine backup - you must use Time Machine to restore the things of a TM backup - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support - http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

After that restoring your library, you can access Photos using - do not forget to restore to another location so that you don't overwrite your existing library

This is not different for iPhoto Photos - or any other program - it's how TM

  • Duplication, but restoration not Photos of Time machine

    I have a large collection of Photos stored on my external HD that contains thousands of faces defined. Trying to solve a problem of random reboot on my new iMac, by Apple, I eliminated the files of faces in the Photos on this computer, but believe that the face IDS are intact on the external hard drive because it has not been used recently for TM backups. The last time that he saved, he supported Photos that still had the names linked to the faces. Before I take the Time Machine, I want to copy the Photos, including the names of face, of a flash drive for safes (and possibly add that the names back into the Photos once that resolve us the problem of random restart). But I can only figure out how to 'restore' Photos of Time Machine. I don't want to restore the old file Photos, because the Faces can be the source of our problem of ransom-restart. Instead, I just want to download my last copy of TM's Photos, including the names, on a drive connected to the iMac. Can someone tell me how to download the most recent file of Photos of my external hard drive to a flash drive without updating the files of Photos now running on the iMac? Thanks for the tips!

    You can not copy pieces of backups TM TM don't just clone files but save changes and maintains a database showing how to reassemble the file from a specified date - you can use the software TM to restore the things - you can restore to an alternate location and then select the restored library - however It is not recommended to make changes to the content of the photo library using external software because the library is a very complex SQLite database and any change can corrupt him causing loss of data

  • Migration from XP to Windows 7 - where are the photos?

    I'll put up a new Win 7 machine. I 30 000 pictures on my old XP machine, almost all in c:\documents and Marc Documents\My pictures\ < date >.  The file structure is different in Windows 7.  What is the best way to make photos the new machine (where I put them in the file system) and not spend the rest of the Decade, reconnect the photos in the catalog?

    PSE 8 on the old XP machine will be disabled and reinstalled on the Win 7 machine.

    If you use the Windows utility to transfer your account and your files to the new computer, and you use the same account name, it will copy your picture files in:

    c:\Documents and settings\mark\pictures

    (the new location for "My pictures" on Windows 7).  Windows also creates a special type of shortcut from the old location:

    c:\Documents and Marc Documents\My Pictures

    in the new folder my pictures.   For backward compatibility, programs like PES who tries to open the old location will be automatically (unbeknownst to them) open the new location.  However, Windows Explorer shows that shortcut but it won't let you access it.

    So, if you also transfer your catalog folder (help > System Info on the old system to find), in theory when you open the catalog in PES on the new computer, all these former locations stored in the catalog will be automatically directed to the new location.   While this works normally, there are a few pitfalls - PSE can be confused by the fact that there are two different names for the same exact set of folders and files.  I think that this confusion is often harmless, but some people have reported strange conditions that peut have been caused by this confusion.

    So if you really want to be sure and avoid using shortcuts backward compatible 'useful' to my images, I recommend to use the backup/restore method to move your catalog and photos, with the new location / option of the Original Folder Structure.   It has its own warts (very deep structures of records creation), but you can clean them up later.  Check out this FAQ and the Adobe referenced tech note for more details:

  • How to recover a specific photo in photo with Time Machine library

    Hello

    I've always been very careful with my backups and I use Time Machine since I work on a Mac.

    I was wondering how I can retrieve a specific photo I would have deleted it by mistake a few months ago?

    I use Mac Photo enforcement.

    It seems that the only way to recover the entire library, but if I use this file recovered, I wouldn't have the new photo imported after that the backup was performed.

    How to pick up only the photo that I need?

    Thank you

    Roland

    You can not.  Restore the library on the desktop, open it with Photos, locate the pictures you need to restore, export to desktop, open your library of work, import photos and, finally, to remove the library restored to office.

    Tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • Routers are supported by the Time Machine feature?

    Hello!

    I am looking for a router that supports the feature Time Machine for someone else. Now, I know that the Nighthawk R7000 router doing since I was able to find a tutorial on the Internet. The X 6 as R8000 is apparently too much. Is there a list that shows all routers compatible with Time Machine or do I really get random routers and check their manuals to determine if they support Time Machine? No doubt the right of the latter?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi @Chosenusername

    Most of the newer model will support this feature, but it is also best to check their precision manuals.

  • New MacBook Pro - photos cannot 'fix' library of Time Machine

    Hello.  I recently got a new Macbook Pro.  I have "" everything from my old macbook pro using my TimeMachine upward.  Everything seems to go well except...  When I opened the Photos I get a message that the library should be "repaired".   When the repair process is 95%, I get another message indicating that the library is not repairable.     I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.  I don't have access to the old computer.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.  I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

    Thank you!

    I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

    So, you might start with an empty photo library and let the pictures to download from iCloud. If you restore the library of Photos of Time Machine, Photos will be anyway download the complete library restored to iCloud and sync and compare. It will take the same time to synchronize again restored library.  The difference is, that the restored library will have all your projects - books, calendars, cards and all thumbnails of faces. If you download the library from iCloud, projects will be missing and thumbnails of faces. You will only have keywords searchable faces.

    I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.

    Where did you have restored the library? For an external drive or the pictures folder?

  • Can I back up files with time machine iCloud. Seems not so, are there alternatives?

    I want files on mac, in the clouds and on local separate media seems quite difficult to achieve for a sensible backup plan.

    I looked for solutions and there are various tips on if time machine backup of documents Mobile ~/Library but I can access in time machine.

    Presumably, someone has solved this problem - hopes!

    If you have active disk iCloud it written copies of the files in the cloud on your local disk, these in turn are backed up by Time Machine, you don't need to do anything else to make it work.

    If you need to access your documents using Time Machine backup do you via the Finder > iCloud drive and not in the hidden mobile documents folder.

  • re installed XP. Which if I understand correctly it breaks the path (links) here, where are the pictures. Photos are still there. How to make to restore the links to the photos are located under my pictures. Thank you

    I have not read method 4 5 methods before re install XP on top of the instalation of gooseberry.  Somehow, I had picked up Paladan or palladium that froze my system and wouldn't let me go unless I bought it.  So I used the recovery disc to repair XP.  Once I did I found that all my photos did not appear in my photos.  I installed Picasa and can send pictures very well.  I would like to get XP to recognize the photos so I can use Outlook to send photos.

    I read a few other posts and wonder why in method 4 to install in a separate folder?

    The installation disc said repair and I just let it go in automatic mode. How does the system decide which version to boot from?  When it is in a different folder with a new name?  Is it the latest version installed to boot from or what.

    Thank you

    Hi Muddlinthru,

    · What article are you talking about for relocation?

    · Where are the photos?

    · You receive an option to select the operating system to load into the start menu?

    Important : reinstall the Windows operating system or upgrade your OS on-site is a troubleshooting step extreme that you should only take if you fully understand the ramifications and risks involved. If you decide to take this step, make sure that you have the original Windows XP media and product installation key provided with your operating system. If you are not comfortable trying to reinstall or to repair the Windows operating system, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help or bring your computer to a professional repair shop.

  • my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Your question is unclear.

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

    You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

    The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

    Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

    Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

    Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

    If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

    No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

    Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

    It is simply not enough the last backup date?

    Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

    If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

    But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

    Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

    for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

    You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.
