I installed a copy of Mountain Lion on my macbook pro thinking that I had a good time capsule backup. The backup was corrupt. The only thing I want to try to recover are the 7600 photos I had in iPhoto. Luckily i have them on my IPhone and iPad. I am trying to find a way to get them back on to my MacBook. Help.

I am confused. Installing Mountain Lion has no effect on your iPhoto library, so all your photos should still be there.

Is there a largish chunk of this story that you've left out?

Why don't you plug in your iPhone/iPad to your Mac, point iPhoto at it and suck the images back onto the Mac?

What's preventing you from doing this?

I have tried that and it does not show that there are photos on the iPad

Give iExplorer a go. Let's you see parts of the file system so you can copy the photos off
