iPhoto allows you to manage your photos easily, and probably the best option you have is to move all your photos to iPhoto.


First, open iPhoto and leave it opened. Then, open a Finder window by pressing once its icon in the Dock. After that, select the external drive in the sidebar, press Command and A keys to select all your photos and drag them to the iPhoto window. Your photos will be added automatically.


If you already see your photos in iPhoto, they were moved, so you do not need to do anything else
