Q: iPhoto to Photos, iMovies, Moving from ext. Hard drives
I have osx Yosemite 10.10.4 & iPhoto 9.6.1 on 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 When I move my iPhoto library to Photos , what happens to my iMovies? I have my photos organized into events using a name for the titles. I also have a few Albums. The photos in the events come from lots of different dates. It is the subject that is important to me. My second question is this: I have photos on my new iMac, photos on an ext. HD that I backed up to when my old Mac failed (thank goodness) and photos on another ext HD from my old PC. I want to get them all together. Or should I wait until El Capitan comes out and Can I have 2 or 3 Libraries? I read somewhere that photos were safer in either iPhotos or Photos rather than strays elsewhere on the computer. Correct? I do not want to sync photos using iCloud. I move mine manually to my iMac and back up on a HD.
Thanks, Mary
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
