How to move iPhoto photos from Mac to PC using a Time Machine backup
They had a big reaction when I told them, but now they’re open to building something instead. I need to create a PC or Hackintosh if I can move their photos, but the only storage I have is an external drive that doesn’t work on my PC. I’m worried about losing those pictures and don’t want to waste time setting up a new machine without access. The problem is the files are hidden in iPhoto’s complex structure, not in the usual Pictures folder. Could you help figure out how to reach them? Thanks!
Make sure everything is secure. Your device seems to have an issue.
It was a bit dramatic, but we experienced a sudden pop similar to a firecracker. After that, nothing happened—no fans spinning, no sound at all. There was a burning smell, but it didn’t actually explode. I suspect the power supply unit failed or one of the capacitors on the motherboard burst. Apologies if I misled you.
You may require a Mac drive to reach the storage as well. ExFAT works on both OS X and Windows systems.
I thought it would be simple if the files were just saved in a basic folder. However, my mom connected her camera and used import to iPhoto, placing the images in a hidden location that isn’t reachable without iPhoto. This likely explains why I couldn’t find them with HFSExplorer.
They seem structured for Mac OS journaling, which helps them hide from Windows. You may require a Mac to run it.
