Photo Library in Mac - iPhotos - how to back up in date order
Ok, So I have been trying to sort this out for a VERY long time.
I want a copy of my WHOLE Photo Library in an external drive. I want this to be done as files, not iCloud library, not weird files that I need a MAC system to operate in case one day I decide to migrate back to something else.
I have a LOT of photos. For a while I was able to back up using Image Capture - but I have so many photos (my current phone is at 400+GB) that image capture no longer reads it.
Also, because of the space saving toggle I used before, many of my photos didn't back up from Image Capture as not every photos was there ( I only learnt this late)
I have now set up the photos back up to keep originals in my Desktop from my iCloud, but my library only shows contents in weird number files and no chronological order. so I have no idea what photos were taken when and most of the files show the same dates?!
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.
I like having my photos backed up as files in a folder in my external drives - for easy access, copy paste and reference. And I DON'T want to have to rely on a MAC operating system to access these images.
How, Who can help with this? I understand it's a Heavy/Huge amount of files - but is there any way to get this done? I'm happy to pay for this to be done for me if it requires special equipment/software, etc...
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!
