Old TM backups and a new MBP
Good morning, all. My daughter is the proud owner of a shiny, new Macbook Pro. She wants to browse her old photos, but they are sitting in old iPhoto libraries embedded in old Time Machines backups on an external drive. I attempted to import a library into Photos, but couldn't due to permissions (or lack thereof).
How does she access her old photos without importing them onto her new laptop (space is limited)?
If importing them into Photos is the only way, how do I overcome the permissions issue?
Is there any way to consolidate these libraries to make life easier?
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
