Once you’re done restoring the old ones, go get iPhoto Library Manager and use it to merge your old and new photos into one single library.Īs a side note, Mail.app also sports this tight Time Machine integration, though there’s no Mail-specific menu option to invoke it. If you’re forced to overwrite newer photos just to restore the old ones, don’t worry: you’ve got that backup you made. From here you can navigate to the album and backup date and restore.

As long as you’re in iPhoto to begin with, you’ll be presented with a very custom view that’s a mix of iPhoto and Time Machine. Simply go into iPhoto and then choose “Browse Backups” from the File menu.Īlternatively, you could simply click the Time Machine icon in either the Dock (if it’s still there) or from your menu bar (and choose “Enter Time Machine”). Once that’s out of the way, iPhoto actually integrates directly with Time Machine. You may have selected the delete all option while viewing photos this may give rise to the need to recover photos and other important files on the Mac. After all, you don’t want to lose any MORE of your pictures. You probably won’t need that, but it’s better to be safe than sorry here. iPhoto was designed to simplify the process of importing and managing images and perform basic edits on the move. With this program you can remove a red-eye effect, adjust contrast and brightness of a picture, etc. Just to be safe, though, go make a copy of your iPhoto Library which, unless you’ve moved it, should be in / Pictures / iPhoto Library. iPhoto is a photo management tool with basic image editing functionality. Now you are in the package contents, go to iPhone Photo Cache and delete it. Right click the iPhoto Library to show package contents.

In fact, iPhoto (and Apple, of course) make this easy for you. Go to Username/ Pictures/ iPhoto Library.
