How to move some photos to external drive?

I have the majority of my photos located on an external drive. Recently after upgrading to PSE 11 I noticed that when I import photos from my sd card that they are located on my c:\ drive.
1) How do I safely move the files located on c:\ to my external drive?
2) change the default location so file will automatically be saved on the external drive?
Thanks in advance
Pete

1) Try drag and drop from the Organizer folder panel.
2) Launch Organizer and press Ctrl+G for the downloader, then connect your camera or device and use the browse button under save options.

  • How to move all Photos to external Drive/make that default storage

    I have stored all of my IPhotos on my internal Mac drive. This was a dumb mistake cause now it is full. So I would like to make my tera drive the default location for all future photos and move all existing photos to the tera drive as well.
    How do I do that without losing all my photos???
    Thanks
    Dennis

    First: Make sure this “tera drive” is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Otherwise you will have problems with your Library.
    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.

  • How do I move my photos to external drive

    How do I move some of my photos to an external drive to free up space on my hard drive?

    And what if I want some of my photos still on my internal drive?
    Can I tell iphoto which events I want on the external?
    I opened a new library on the external drive. This is working quite good - exept with AppleTV2
    So I am looking for a way to have only one (my default library) on the hard drive, but have SOME of the actual date on the external drive...
    Mr.Churchil here already suggested to create a new user with an own library. That sounds logical to me - but I don't knwo how to do it...
    Can I transfer whole events or photos from one library to another than?

  • How to move referenced photos to external hard drive and maintain "faces"

    I created an iphoto library on an external hard drive.  I chose not to copy imported photos to iphoto (reference instead) under iphoto preferences.   I dragged a large folder of photos from my internal hard drive to iphoto and spent countless hours adding faces to all the photos.  I now decide i want these pictures referenced from the external drive too, not the internal.   I moved the file of folders to my external drive and of course iphoto now cant find these referenced pictures.   I do "find photo" and point to where i moved these photos on the external drive and all works, until i close iphoto and restart it.  (in other words, iphoto doesnt remember the new location i pointed to)
    Is there a way to move the referenced photos to the external drive and still have iphoto faces work correctly?
    thanks

    This is just one of the many reasons that a referenced library is not recommended with iPhoto
    it has been reported that File Buddy - http://www.skytag.com/ - can help resolve the broken aliases - I have not used - as always backup before messing with your iPhoto library

  • How to move iPhoto Library from external drive to new mac?

    I have exported a copy of my iPhoto Library from my old mac to an external hard drive. How can I import entire library into iPhoto of new mac? When I click Import to Library, I'm unable to highlight iPhoto Library file listed on my external hard drive in Finder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Is the iPhoto library on the new computer empty? If it is, quit iPhoto and just drag the iPhoto library on the New Computer to the trash and drag the iPhoto library from the EHD to the pictures folder on the new computer - there is no importing involved - you NEVER want to import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto Library
    If you want to run the new computer with the iPhoto library on the external drive simply launch i{Photo while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library to point to the EHD

  • How To Move Existing Library to External Drive

    I have my Aperture library on my main internal drive. I have just purchased an eSATA drive (CalDigit's SVR Duo) and want to move my library off my internal drive onto the new external drive.
    How can this be done? The only way I can figure out how to do it is to create a vault, backup the entire library, then restore with a new library referenced onto the external drive.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    A little easier is merely to move the Aperture library in Finder (Aperture Library.aplibrary) to its new location. Then double-click it to launch Aperture. Aperture will use this library and reset the Prefs. (came in in 1.5.0).
    What I don't know is whether the Vault will still see the new location as the original library and continue providing incremental updates. Hopefully so.
    The other big option is to leave the library "as is" on the internal drive, and using File/Relocate Masters for Project to relocate masters to the external drive leaving a small library. Note that Vault does not back up referenced masters.

  • How to move itunes media to external drive

    I'm running iTunes for Windows 10.6.3.25 and have 3000+ songs in the library. I'd like to move the music files to an external hard drive, without losing the dates added, plays, genres or the directory structure. I've already made a copy of all the folders and music files to my external drive (I've called it M: for Music), but now I need to tell iTunes to look there for the music and not at my laptop's D-drive. Changing the iTunes media folder in the Edit-Preferences-Advanced tab doesn't seem to have any effect on the existing songs.
    Anyone out there with tips or advice?
    Thanks
    H-tac

    Type "move itunes library" into the search bar at the top of this page or your favorite search engine and follow the instructions.

  • New To Mac, How to move/copy files from external drive

    Just got my first Mac computer. My music files (about 140 gb) are on an external drive.
    When setting up iTunes the process of transfering and organizing the files took over 24 hours--more than twice as long as on my old PC.
    I would like to keep the files on the Mac itself. I have plenty of space now, and I think not using an external drive improves performance. Then I could use the hard drive as a back-up, as nature intended.
    Problem is, due to my inexperience with Macs I'm stumped as to how to do this.
    Any suggestions would be greatly aprecciated!

    I believe you would simply copy your iTunes Music folder from your external drive into the main iTunes folder on your Mac, then open Preferences, and in the Advanced section use the 'Change' button next to eh 'iTunes music folder location' window to find your copy of the iTunes Music folder and let your Mac know that's where all your tunes are.
    That's pretty much the exact reverse of what I had to do!
    Hope that helps (and isn't wrong)!

  • How to move support folders to external drive?

    I have probably more than 20 GB of support material - templates, etc. - for DVDSP, Color, iDVD (which I don't even use), on my internal hard drive.
    It could be helpful to move it out onto one of my external HD's, but I'm not sure if I should or how to.

    You can move items pretty easily then recoonect for DVD SP you would. Go to preferences and point the template location (and other elements) to where the templates are on the external hard drive.
    For instance In DVD SP Preferences -> Destinations -> Palette Elements and point to the folder.
    (If you cannot find the templates, do a search for items containing the name .dsptemplate to find the folder where templates are on the external)
    I usually move only the big things (usually audio for Soundtrack, which is about 20 Gigs, which you can reindex, DVD SP Templates and stuff which I do not use) but do leave some things such as Motion where they are. Not sure how much Color really has, but are you talking about the render files?

  • How to move Win 7 to external drive?

    I rarely use Win 7 on my G575 4383. I use Linux on an external USB HDD. I would like to put the Win 7 on an external HDD or physically move the existing drive. (When I moved the existing HDD, Win 7 won't boot? It will only boot from the internal slot.) Then I could put Linux on the internal drive. (I don't want to dual boot them on the same drive.) How do I move Win 7?

  • I photo and external drive

    how do i save photos to external drive and possibly set it up that all photos go to external drive so i can save room on my hard drive

    Hello Myron,
    It can be very handy to store your iPhoto library (and your iTunes library for that matter) on an external drive. Make sure the drive is formated for Mac (MacOSExtended) rather than for Windows (MS-DOS, etc.). Storing Mac data on a windows formated drive reduces performance and can damage data over time.
    Apple documents moving the library to other locations on their website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/6331.html
    You can check to make sure your drive is formated correctly and re-format if needed following another knowledge base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306143
    Please be aware that if you do have to reformat the drive it will ERASE any information currently on the drive.
    Cheers!

  • How do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?

    I have saved many photos to an external hard drive for security. I would like to store at least some of them in iCloud so I have direct access from Photos. Is this possible please?

    how do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?
    Just like you'd do it with iPhoto.  Drag the photos or folder of photos into the open Photos Library window or onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    If you have the iCloud Photo Library activated in Photos the new photos will be copied to the online iCloud Photo Library along with the rest of the photos in your library.  Remember, with the iCloud Photo Liberty it's all the photos or none.  You may have to purchase additional iCloud space to store all of your photos.

    how can i move a vlc movie held on my external drive onto my itunes library (so i can then load it onto my ipad to watch?

    That is the only logical conclusion. There is an easy solution. On the Mac app store download a free app called smartconverter. It is free. You just drag and drop file into app and it will convert to any file u want. I hope that foxes your issue

  • Imovie 10: how to move the (movie) library to an external drive

    Hi all,
    using imovie '11 it wasn't any problem to move the (movie) library to an external drive following these instrcutions: <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2289?viewlocale=en_US>. After updating to mavericks and imovie 10 I can't find the hard drive icon to pull down the drive list any more.
    Maybe I missed something very obvious but would be very happy for any suggestion.
    Thanks in advance,
    best regards,
    Stephan

    Your events and projects now reside in an file or files  with extension .imovielibrary.    You can create a new library wherever you want from within iMovie and drag and drop events into it from an exisitng library.  If you want to move the complete library, select the library then go File - Consolidate Project Media.  This ensures the library is self-contained and doesn't have any links to external media which could break when it is moved.  You can then move the library to the external HD using the Finder.  When you restart iMovie you will have to select  File - Open Library - Other and navigate to its new location.
    There are a lot of changes in imovie 10 and its really necessary to study the help file (http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7)
