Hi, i have a mac book air and i would like to move my iphoto library 9.6 on a external hard disc, i tried but now they are telling me that it's going to take 2 days!!! It's only 25GB is that normal? do they have a fastest way to do it? Thanks in advance for your help!
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), iOS 8.2
is your external drive directly connected and formatted correctly as MacOS X Extended (Journaled)?
An iPhoto Library needs to be on directly mounted volume, see: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
Usually the estimates for the time needed for copying a library are much too high.
Wait and see.

Just emphasizing part of what léonie suggested: make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled).
Thanks for your reply but im not getting it..
It's a SD Card, it's directly connected. But i don't really understand the part of formatted :-/
Do i have to format the card? and how?
now the estimate time is 4 days and in 1h45 it only download 369MB!!
Is that normal??
It's a SD Card
That's why it's so slow. You will never get adequate performance out of an iPhoto Library located on an SD card or any memory card. The transfer rate is nowhere near that of a hard drive.
That being said, you'd format it the same as you would an external hard drive. Launch Disk Utility, select the card in the left pane and go from there.
