Hey there Kathigei,
I understand that you need to recover a video from Photo Booth. You can do this by utilizing your Time Machine backups, if you have Time Machine set up:
Restore from a Time Machine backup
Restore specific files:
- Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu
, or click Time Machine in the Dock.
- Find the files to restore:
- Use the timeline on the edge of the screen to see the files in your Time Machine backup as they were at that date and time. The timeline may also include local snapshots.
- Use the onscreen up and down arrows to jump to the last time the contents of the window changed. You can also use the search field in a window to find a file, then move through time while focused on changes to that file.
- Select a file and press Space Bar to preview the file and make sure it's the one you want.
- Click Restore to restore the selected file, or Control-click the file for other options.
Restore everything:
- To restore everything in your Time Machine backup, use OS X Recovery.
- To copy the files, settings, and OS X user accounts in your backup to another Mac, use Migration Assistant.
