Greetings all,

Here is the story: Macbook crashed. Bought new Mac Mini and used Time machine to restore all settings from Macbook.

Mac Mini had everything as before, but was slow...especially for new Mini.

Restored Mac Mini as "new" Mini. Much faster, however I want my iPhoto library back. When I go into my picture folder in Finder and start time machine, it will only let me restore up to the point where I "restored" the Mac Mini as "new". All the other backups are there but I cannot select restore in time machine for the other dates...the restore button is grayed out on the older date.

Help! I know they are there, why can't I get them back?

BTW Macbook and Mac Mini both on newest version of iPhoto 11.

Thanks all!
