I have been backing up my iPhoto library to my WD My Book for Mac. I then delete the photos from my computer. I would now like to retrieve my photos from my external hard drive. I selected the option to restore photos to their original location on my computer, but when they do not appear in iPhoto after the retrieval was complete. Are the photos in a file in my hard drive? Do I need to import them to iPhoto? If so, where are they?
Seems to be that you used SmartWare for the backup, you may try browsing the drive using Finder and locate your files manually.
You can also select the option “in a retrieved content folder”, instead of selecting “to the original places” and then select the location yourself to restore the files.
Thank you. Yes, that helped.
