Q: Backing up iphoto before downloading Yosemite
Hi,
I'm looking to find out how I can back up iphoto before updating my mac software to Yosemite. I have heard updating software like this can lead to a loss of photographs / data. I looked in to linking my iphoto library with icloud but to do that, the latest software is needed. I then bought a toshiba external hard-drive with the intention of copying my library over but it is formatted to windows. I have tried following online instructions to re-format it to Mac but it will not let me "unmount" when I alter information in the 'erase' and 'partition' tabs found in the Disc Utility section of Applications. I am currently on Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5
Thank you!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
