Q: iphoto

I'm trying to backup precious family pictures on an old iMac (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with OS 10.5.8 and iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 (378).

I tried to use the iPhotos Library Upgrader 1.1 but it requires OS 10.6.8 or OS 10.7.

What is the best next step to back up, or migrate the photos to my newer iMac with OS 10.11?

Thanks,

Tiproll

    Drag the entire iPhoto library to a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended on an external drive, or use a product such as Time Machine. Running the library upgrader isn't part of backing up your data; run it on the newer Mac.
