How do you restore photos in iPhoto?

This post at the Apple Discussion forums explains how to restore your iPhoto photos. Thanks laverne’s mom.

Your question had me wondering too and so I checked my Time Machine and couldn’t see where any photos were.  I then pulled out a book I got when I first got my mac ( Its called The Missing Manual.  I got it used from Amazon)   anyway, if you open iPhoto, go to File then Browse Backups.  It will show you the photos that have been backed up and are available for recovery.  I hadn’t paid much attention to that before and am glad I discovered it now, rather than when I am in a panic over a lost or misplaced photo.  Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.

Forgot partition after installing time…: Apple Support Communities

Bob Timmons has the answer. Great work.

The information in this video talks about a partition on the fellow’s Maxtor external hard drive…..not the Time Capsule.

As mentioned previously in this thread…..it is not possible to “partition” the Time Capsule drive unless you physically remove it from the Time Capsule case….which will void the warranty.

If you want to reserve a given amount of space on the Time Capsule drive, you can set up a disk image, which is similar to a partition.

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld. This is a very thoughtful thing for Apple to do. Sometimes I am surprised by the thoughtfulness they put into their products. Other times I am surprised by the overt marketing that exists. I suppose it is a hard thing to balance the needs of the users against the needs of Apple.

Lion forgets its boot drive

I had a friend who has a new MacBook Pro and called me this morning panicked. His MBP started up and said “Could not find a bootable drive” or something like that. I had him restart and hold down the option button and then select his boot drive. Then he went to the System Preferences > Startup Disk and selected his drive. He shut down the computer. Then started it up and it started normally. He had upgraded from the most updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I am going to help him burn a USB drive and do a clean install. It was a negative experience and one that I don’t recall any other version of Mac OS doing. The Mac OS has some great features, but when there is a bug, there is a show stopping bug. Apple doesn’t go halfway with features or with issues.
