How do I move Iphoto albums to Seagate Backup Plus

Hello all,


I bought the Seagate Backup Pus I was told it works well with mac and pc. I was able to move folders of photos that were on my pc and USB drives easily to the seagate, but I cannot figure out how to the albums or events I have on iphoto. I keep getting the "unable to create / Volumes/ Seagate Backup Plus" message when I try to export the album. I have read and searched but my limited knowledge on this has been stretched. I am just trying to clear up some space on my mac.


Mac OS X Version 10.6.8


Thanks in advance for any light on this issue.

YOu can not have the iPhoto library on a PC formatted drive. The iPhoto library must only be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled). If you want your iPhoto library on an external drive the drive must be correctly formatted. You can get a different drive or reformat this one using disk utility. Reformatting totally erases the drive and a PC can not use a drive formatted fir Mac without special third party software
