The Mac Geek

Geek number 265 for Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010. Good ratings folks and welcome to the Mac Observers Mack Geek Cab.

I'm Dave Hamilton here in Durham, New Hampshire and on the other end is...

John Frawn here in Fairfield, Connecticut.

Fantastic.

So we have quite a bit of stuff to go through.

You know what, let's just dive right in and let's start with Brad, shall shall we you don't want to talk about

no no wait I don't want to talk about the couch or the weather that's all right

but yeah let's dive right in this is a great first one because I learned something.

I like it when I learned something.

That's a good thing.

Or you from me.

Or from the listeners.

Anyways, go ahead.

Brad says, I'm having an issue with my photos in I Photo 09 in Snow Leopard 10.6. I can see the photos

but when I press the space bar to enlarge the photo I get the black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of some of them.

I may have inadvertently erased some of the pictures I am assuming.

Can I use Time Machine to pull up an old backup then export pictures to an external hard drive.

After that, go back to the most recent backup,

delete pictures on the computer,

then import again from my external hard drive.

Basically, can you go backwards with Time Machine
