moving photo library to external drive

I moved my photo library to my external G Tech 4TB hard drive. And now iTunes won't sync with Photos.?? I believe I reformatted my hard drive the proper way (journaled). I dont know what to do please help!?? Im trying to sync my devices with iTunes and the photos won't sync now.

Moving an iPhoto Library is simple:

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

1. Quit iPhoto

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. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.

4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

There is no need to have a second library on your Mac unless you specifically want to, you can just use the one on the external. If you are going to have two libraries this will be much facilitated by using a tool like iPhoto Library Manager.

As long as the drive is correctly formatted everything will work just like it always has.

You can easily move an iTunes Library. I have no idea about games.

What format is the drive? How are you connected to it?

Plus, it's best to ask Photos questions at the Photos forum.

Why would you create a second library on the internal idk? Just use the one on the external.

It makes no difference to syncing.

If I move it across, and then create a fresh new iPhoto Library on my Mac Hard drive will I still be able to access my old photos on my external drive?

You can switch between libraries, but if you want to access all photos at the same time in one library, then do not start with a new library on the MacBook Pro, but work from the library on the external drive. Splitting your library has draw backs: You can only sync one library with iTunes and only use one library with Photo stream. Working with one big library on your external drive will make it easier to sync all events and albums with iTunes and to search through all photos at once.

I don't know about your Games, sorry.
