Photos for Mac
Q: Can I change the location of my iPhone photo backups to an external drive?
I'm running out of space on my MacBook, and I'm wondering if it's possible to redirect my photos library backup from my iPhone to an external drive.
I found some instructions online that suggest copying and pasting the Photos Library to the external drive, then restarting Photos while holding down Alt. I've tried that, and I get the attached error message:
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Photos Library" can't be read or written. (Error code -36)"
Can anyone direct me regarding how to proceed?
Any help would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5)
