You can view and Restore Individual Pictures via iPhoto '09 or earlier, or iPhoto 11 prior to version 9.2:


  1. •Start with the iPhoto application, then click the Time Machine icon in your Dock, or click the TM icon in your menubar and select Enter Time Machine, or select File > Browse Backups from the iPhoto menubar.

  2. •If you have trouble understanding or navigating the display, see question #15A.

  3. •Navigate to the desired backup as usual. Select the photo(s) you want to restore , and click the Restore button, or to restore everything, click Restore All.


 

If you select Restore All, you may get one of the following messages:

If there’s already a file/folder of the same name in the same place, Time Machine will give you a prompt for you to select what you want to do.


If you select Keep Both, Time Machine will append "(original)" to the name of the item currently on your system.  The restored item will have just the name.  Each will retain their Created and Modified dates.

 
If you’re restoring from a disk or partition that’s no longer connected to your Mac, DO NOT choose Recreate Enclosing Folders, as Time Machine will restore it to the normally-hidden /Volumes folder at the top level of your internal hard drive.
