2 copies of iphoto-need to get rid of 1

I have a 2 HD setup. 1st drive is full, so I copied it onto the 2nd drive. Now when I attempt to download photos onto the 2nd drive (over 70GB of space available) I get a mssg. saying that my HD is full.
I would like to delete the copy of iphoto on drive 1, and just have all of my photos on drive 2.
Can I simply delete iphoto on drive 1, or will doing so affect iphoto on drive 2?
BTW-this is iphoto6.
Thank you.

Put the one on the External into the trash. iPhoto needs to live in the Applications Folder.
The Photos are in the iPhoto Library - by default that's in your Pictures Folder, and that's what you want to move to the other drive. It's the one that grows and grows as you edit pics.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD

    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
    Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
    You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
    Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
    You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
    Next, create/update your itunes account.
    Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

    Hi Pierre,
    There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

  • HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

    i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses.  how to do that?

    Why would you keep creating new accounts?
    Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
    Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
    All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

  • Need to get rid of lines top and bottom

    The video material I'm cutting has a very annoying, eye-catching top and bottom edge. The topmost and lowest lines kind of wobble or jitter. I need to get rid of this.
    Do I 'zoom in' / expand the picture, or is there a crop tool I haven't come across?
    Any help much appreciated.

    Right-click(Control+click) the clip with the settings and chose copy.
    Select all of your clips that you want to apply the same settings to and right- click and chose paste attributes. A window will open and check the motion box and then click apply(Ok?)
    Now all of the selected clips will have the motion setting that you copied. This is also a good way for copying video and audio filters and any other settings in the motion tab.

    In response to below------Thank you Lynn-----Yes, there is a main panel--I will attach----and if you have any further suggestions please let me know--Thanks again
    How are you running this program? Is there a top level vi which calls the ones you posted? The Display image on screen.vi will display two images in succession, but according to the note on the block diagram the second image is blank. It seems as though this would intentionally create a flicker.
    The sequence structure is unnecessary. Dataflow will determine the order of execution. The only exception is the time delay in the third frame. Since it has no data dependency, a single frame sequence may be useful to assure that the delay occurs before the picture is updated. A simple state machine might be a more versatile architecture for what you may be trying to do.
    It is not necessary to write the FR.PanelBounds property immediately after reading it, nor is it necessary to read it a second time in the second frame. Just wire from the first read.

    Take a screen shot using the following keys - Apple/Shift/4.  The cross hair shot will enable you to do the the exact size of shot you want to do.
    Place the screen shot onto your desktop.  In the "Basic reply window" click on the camera icon and follow the onscreen instructions.  Click on "Use Advance Editor" then click the "Add Reply" button. 
    Again, post in the Mountain Lion forum area so that users using the same os as yourself will be able to help.  Your issue is "os" related.  You do not have a Macbook Pro technical issue.

    Hi cathyw11,
    probably you have 3 shortcuts on your desktop, if it is shortcuts they will have a small arrow on the firefox icon (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]). Right click on each shortcut you want to delete and select delete(don't be afraid, you delete only the shortcut, not the program, the program you can find it in windows start > all programs).
    thank you

  • I have absolutely no use for "Events" in iPhoto: can I get rid of this concept? I am importing photos maybe one or a dozen times a day and cannot avoid creating a new event each time. Or can I?

    As my long question implies (sorry, should have kept it shorter) I have a problem with being forced to have Events in my iPhoto'11 9.2.3 (629.52) on my MacBook 10.6.8. My habit is to unload the camera constantly, whether I have taken a single shot or a whole series. Each new addition creates an Event which actually bothers me!
    Is there a way of avoiding this? If I erase an event from iPhoto the photos will disappear from the Library it seems ... Please help with your advice. Thanks! Sigrid.

    Thanks, OT!
    When I look at my odd(?) habits of dealing with iPhoto anyone will see that I have a very simplistic approach: I never let one single Library get bigger than 300 or 400 photos, then back it up as is and make a separate, manual backup of the different albums as named by myself on an external HD. Then I delete the Library as such from my Mac but can reinstate it from the backups as I please. The backups are properly labelled, of course.
    I get dizzy when I read about libraries of thousands of photos, of keywords, ratings, smart albums etc. because this just wouldn't apply to my so-called system. So instead of using Faces and Places, my album names show clearly what's in them - "skies and scenery" Euskadi, "bugs and birds at Fancourt", "inventories", "people" (separate for my circle of people and characters from media), "my dog" etc., usually a bunch of 20 albums or so depending on my whereabouts. Quite manageable!
    I've been doing just fine with this method and would recommend it ... but others are much brighter ;-) and use the offered (and to me too advanced) features of iPhoto, if they prefer these. Now that I know how to get rid of Events by merging them into one, I at least feel a little freer there.
    Well, it's 1:25AM my time, gotta go ...

  • Help! Need to get rid of MacKeeper and Spinning Wheel!

    Hello Apple Community,
    I have a problem that has been solved by one member of the community, however, I am still having the same problem.  I thought I knew my mac pretty well however, I was one of those stupid people who installed MacKeeper in hopes of cleaning up my macbook pro and get the spinning "wheel of death" to STOP!
    I have read the posts and the comments from previous threads.  One in particular was posted by "uvistr" requesting help with the same problem I am having.  The community member, "etresoft", provided a great solution.  However, I tried to follow the directions to re-install mackeeper and then un-install, but I could not find any information in my logs with anything related to mackeeper. When I went to the mackeeper site, the only way I could re-load it was to buy it again!  I feel like I am going in circles!
    I thought I had deleted, dumped, trashed MacKeeper, but I still have the white screen on my desktop that says "unistall mackeeper". Only the GREEN light is available to use and of course I only just get a bigger screen!  Nothing is on the screen and there are no options in the finder (that I have found) to delete this white screen.
    I do know that I didn't un-install it correctly based on the information from "etresoft".  I am at the point of getting rid of everything on my macbook and then re-install everything.  I have everything backed up on an external hard drive. 
    Once I get MacKeeper off of my machine, will the spinning wheel stop?  OR does anyone think there is another problem that is causing it to constantly spin?  I have checked with Comcast and am running at their top speed.  I have the latest upgrade of OSX Lion and have deleted all pictures and movies from my hard drive.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks for any help that can be provided.....

    No, you do not need MacKeeper.  Removing MacKeeper will help.
