How do I move my iPhoto files to an external harddrive?
Hi there
I only recently moved to Apple from Windows and am struggling to move my iPhoto files to an external harddrive, despite there being some quite old discussions on this on these discussion boards.
My late 2013 32GB Macbook Pro Retina is currently at full capacity because I have imported to iPhoto all of my photos from my past few months of travel. I have recently acquired a 1TB external harddrive which I have successfully partitioned, and I have backed up my Macbook Pro's harddrive using Time Machine to one partition.
I want to move my iPhoto library to the other partition to free up space on the local hard drive, but am needing some assistance.
My questions are:
1. How can I locate all of my iPhotos that I can see in iPhoto but nowhere else? I thought there would be some place I could find them and drag and drop onto the external hard drive.
2. How do I go about moving the photos so they are only on the external hard drive? Do I have to move to the hard drive first and then delete?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
