    You can simply drag and drop your Aperture library to external HD. Just make sure, that the external drive has the correct filesystem - MacOS Extended (Journaled).  And the disk needs to be locally mounted, not a NAS or a network share, see this link:  Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

     

    But keep the Aperture application in your Applications folder. Moving the application to a different folder can result in unexpected behaviour, because the system will expect the application to be in the correct folder.
