How are the photos stored on the external HD? Are they image files in folders or are they in another library?
If it's the former just drag the folders of image files onto the Photos icon in the Dock. They will be imported.
It is strongly recommended, however, that one use a "managed" library and not a "referenced" one:
Hi Toad
The photos are stored on: "Photos Library backup sept. 2018.photoslibrary"
Hope that helps you,
Ron
That's a library file name not a location or volume. Where is that library located? On your internal hard drive or an external HD? If an external HD how is it formatted and connected to your Mac.
I am sorry that you got hold of me! I am 73, have always had macs and iPhones, but I am not a very tech-strong, to say the least! My new iMac broke down after a year, they replaced the HD and thank God, I saved all my stuff a week before on a program named "Runisoft". Now I want to transfer the pictures that I saved on my EHD to my iMac Pictures. I connected the EHD to my mac with a normal ubs cable. How it is formatted I do not know; and I must admit that I don't know where to find the library location that you took a screen shot of. I thought Finder, Preferences, Photo but your location is a mystery to my little knowledge.
If I were you, I would forget me and move on to someone who knows more about macs and how they work and can follow you. I will just keep saving the new pictures I take.
Sorry,
Ron(it is 23.10 here in Switzerland and I am going to bed, but thanks!)
