Forums > Living in Kunming > Restore my computer with a backup on my ext. HD

Your external drive (WD) should have your Time Machine backups. I would strongly discourage you to use iPhoto or Aperture to manage your photos. They store your photos in special ways and make it hard to recover them when anything goes wrong.

Instead I would recommend to either use Photoshop or Lightroom, both Adobe software. The second being specialised in handling photographs and managing your image files.

I'm not sure how you deleted your photos (in finder or iPhoto), but you wouldn't be the first one to loose their pictures thanks to iPhoto hick-ups.

There's a pretty good Apple Center in the Golden Eagle next to H&M if you need professional (and usually free) help.

It sounds like you only want to restore one particular folder. In this case you should click on the Time Machine icon in the top menu (it's a clock with an arrow forming the circle shaped edge) and click "Enter Time Machine". This will show you Finder and a timeline to your right. Navigate to the folder that contains your photos and go 'back in time' to find the most recent backup that contains your deleted photos. Once found, right-click/control-click on the folder and use the restore function to copy it back.

Alternatively, you could do an entire system restore. This is only recommended if a lot is missing and restoring the folder doesn't fix your problem. A full system restore may take as many as 8 hours on older systems with a lot of data.

Let me know if the first method fixes it for you. I'm sure you can find images to guide you as well if you Google "restoring a folder with Time Machine".

Hi Geogramatt,

Thank you for your reply. The statement you mention in your comment actually refers back to the start of the sentence, saying: "Averaging 2,000 meters from mountain ridge to riverbank ..."

So second in depth when one considers the average depth throughout the gorge.

Interesting article though. I've always wanted to go to the Yarlung Tsangpo Great Canyon. I've only seen stretches of the river south from Lhasa.

Xizhou is one of Dali's gems, only about 18 kilometers north along the lake from Dali Old Town. The old town still feels authentic and is like a living gallery, showcasing the impressive artistry and culture of the Bai people.

It makes for a great stop on the way up to Shaxi Old Town too, which is perhaps my favourite place in Dali prefecture.

I've been to the Stone Forest many times and although when entering the park it may feel a bit like a tourist trap, there's areas in the back that, even during high season, are usually extremely quiet and can be explored without being surrounded by the crowds.

The landscape is unique and different from many nearly areas that also feature karst rock formations. Definitely worth a visit for those who haven't been yet.

Five stars for focussing on healthy foods. Homemade live sauerkraut, lots of dishes with quinoa, chia seeds, avocado, and tons of other superfoods mixed to create a tasty and healthy cuisine. I hope this is only the beginning of a new wave of alternative food options in the city.

One of the better options in Lijiang for a western meal. Had a set menu through meituan for only 99 yuan that included a very decent steak and onion soup. The environment is spacious and nicely designed with the restaurant being conveniently located in between the InterContinental and LUX hotel inside of the old town. We were not drinking, but they looked like having an impressive wine collection. 5 stars if they improve on speed and service level.

Sofitel is easily one of Kunming's top hotels now, featuring one of the best locations, in between the city center and the popular Dianchi Lake area.

The views from any of its rooms, as well as the buffet restaurant are quite stunning, offering previously unseen panoramas over the whole of Kunming.

There's a bar on the 50th floor, although currently it still has some work to do to be able to compare itself with similar 'skybars' in Shanghai or Beijing.
