How do I "trash the one on your internal HD to free up space".?
Drag it to the trash and empty the trash - there is no undo for this so be positive it is what you want and that everything has been fully tested

You're responding to a post from almost 7 years ago, that refers to a different application. Start a new thread in the Photos forum and explain what you mean by 'internal' and 'external' in this case.
I am unclear on exactly what I am moving to the external drive. Am I just Copying the library to the external?
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag it intact as a single entity to the external drive
When I connect my camera in the future will it be saving the files to the external drive?
depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive
so can i reformat the Seagate or do we need to buy something that already works w/a mac??
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location.
Will reformatting my external hard drive alter any of the pics ,folders etc already there?
how can I rename my external hd (at the moment it refuses to be anything but 'Untitled')
