Q: Move iphoto/aperture 3.5 library off macbook pro to external drive
Hi everyone,
We'll I've purchased RB Designs Aperture organsation and file management ebooks, I've paid 25 $ for a subscription to Lynda... all to try to understand how to locate my aperture/iphoto library onto our house ReadyNAS so that I don't have 220GB of data churning around on my MacBook Pro. But I really can't figure out how to do it. I get the gist of the referenced vs managed masters mostly but even with all of the instruction I find nowhere where I learn how to take one library (currently an iphoto library that I can also see in aperture) and safely move it onto an external drive.. Does it need to be an aperture library first? Why do I need to create a second library (in aperture) if both applications can use one library? And how do I move all this data to the external drive. Everywhere says it's very easy to do but I actually am still totally confused! Any help is appreciated. I've now spent a lot of $ to buy aperture and try to figure out how to use it because it seemed that the functionality of having it all on an external drive (but yet useable) was worth it but I'm wondering if I'm in over my head.
Please help!
Thanks,
Ariadne
