Running iPhoto from an external drive

So Santa was very kind and got me a new HDD to replace my busted up old one. I have partioned it with 1 partition running as my Time Machine back-up. The other partition I would like to use to store media that will not get changed a lot. Naturally I want to store my photos there. So I have 3 questions:
1. Should I just drag my iPhoto library over to the external?
2. Is it then safe to delete the original iPhoto library off the previous HDD?
3. Then just point iPhoto at the new location?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. can I move over only certain albums from iPhoto to the hard drive, or does it have to be the entire library?
It doesn’t have to be the entire Library, but the albums must be in an iPhoto Library if you want to
...access them through iPhoto again to view, manipulate, make albums, etc?
It’s common for folks to have two Libraries. We often see folks have a full library on an external disk and a smaller one on the internal disk of their laptops, for instance.
Here’s how you can do that:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library to the External Disk. - Now you have two full Libraries.
3. In the Internal disk, remove any pics that you don’t want: Put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it. (Hint: iPhoto will baulk at trashing too many pics at one go. So, trash and empty the trash every 100 pics or so.)
Now you have a Full Library on the External, and a smaller subset on the Internal.
To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

    How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Is it posable to run iPhoto from a second drive in my computer?

    Is it posable to run iPhoto from a second drive in my computer? With all the pictures in it, it's useing alot for space.

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    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.

  • Running audio from an external drive question

    HI there,
    i am waiting the delivery of a high quality firewiredrive to run my audio tracks for my g5 imac.
    I am a beginner at logic and i have logic express7.0 with logic pro 8 on its way.
    In fact am a beginner at computer music. For the last 5 years i have been recording on an akai dps16 so this is a big learning curve right now, thought i have already made my 1st c.d. on logic express. Logic is awesome.
    so
    i am trying to get my head around running audio from an external drive as everyone recommends and instead of waiting for the new firewire drive to arrive i thought i'll learn this using my 500gig maxtor usb2.0 drive.
    i have sussed out the record path business and all seems well. I have created 24 tracks of audio and i can see them in the audio folder in my logic project in my maxtor drive. So (i think) i have learned how to run audio from the maxtor, but what seems a bit odd to me is that when i run the exact same song from the internal drive ( I copied it from the maxtor drive) there doesnt seem to be any increase in the load of the system memory or the cpu as seen on activity monitor or logics audio performance meter.
    I would have expected the identical song running from the internal drive to be more taxing on the computer.
    Maybe i am doing something wrong but i dont think so.
    Any help would be greatfully appreciated
    Tom

    The problem with internal drive is that is accessed by the OS and by Logic.
    With a powerful Mac 24 tracks recorded at 16 bits and a sampling rate of 44100Khz are not n issue but increasing these values or the number of tracks the problem will appear and you will see the disk I/O meter going up very fast.
    At that point you will begin to experiment audio hiccups before and a song stop later.
    The same problem appears with drivers that have a reduced band (like USB 2.0) while firewire ones are faster, more stable and don't load the CPU.
    cheers

  • How to run iphoto 08 off external drive?

    Hi - I'm trying to clear space on my 60 gig power book g4 and was wondering if I can run iphoto off an external drive (where I would house many - but not all - photos). Currently, copying the photos to the drive loses all the iphoto info. Thanks for any help - and I'm open to suggestions as to other methods to clear off hard drive. (Have the same with itunes - I lose all the info when I "copy" files to the external drive). Thanks!

    Quit iPhoto and drag your iPhoto library to the external drive (just one big drag - do not drag components)
    Then launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point use the select library option to point to the external drive - verify your library on the external drive by using it for a while and then you can delete the iPhoto library on your internal drive or you can switch back to it and delete some photos by using iPhoto to move them to the iPhoto trash and emptying the iPhoto trash
    DO NOT delete photos or otherwise modify your iPhoto Library using the finder or you will corrupt your library and lose data
    You may find that iPhoto library manager is useful in managing multiple libraries - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

  • Want to run iTunes from an external drive, how?

    I want to run iTunes from my external drive, I have already made back ups of my library and media files but I can't figure out how to save iTunes to the external drive? When you download itunes it just automatically downloads to the computer. Can you even do this? If not, how can I use the saved info on my external drive (library and media files) with my itunes on the computer. The problem we are trying to solve is a lack of space on our computer and we want to free as much space as possible. Thanks!

    I want to run iTunes from my external drive, I have already made back ups of my library and media files but I can't figure out how to save iTunes to the external drive?
    Drag the iTunes library to the external drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it there.

  • MacBook Air Hard Drive too small - can I run applications from an external drive or is there a better solution?

    I just got a MacBook Air 11" 10.7.2 2GB/64GB.  I love it, but the internal drive is sooo small.  Occasionally I need to take projects home from work or travel with my computer.  Is there any way to run apps (Final Cut Studio, CS5, Office 10, etc) from an external drive?  I am trying to convert over from my Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and I can't seem to find a solution.
    Thanks for your time!
    Samantha

    Samantha,
    It's best to keep your applications on the internal drive and consider external storeage for your data.
    Your choices are direct attached storeage to the USB port (external portable USB drives), storeage on your home or work network, or cloud-based storeage, like DropBox.
    You can also look at slimming down your OSX installation on your MBA by removing unwanted fonts and printer drivers.
    Btw, you will struggle to run CS5 and Final Cut Studio on a MBA with 2GB RAM. Only install the applications you really need on your MBA.
    Can I ask which model MacBook Pro you are migrating from?

  • Run Windows from an external drive......

    I want to boot Windows from an external drive. Why would Apple not allow this to be done. It makes no sence to me at all. You would still have to run Windows from the intel-Mac. To make you waste good MacOS space on the internal drive is a shame. I know... I can remove Windows and re-gain my "lost" space. However, my kid needs to run some school programs that are in the Windows format only. I hope that someday Apple will let BootCamp run from an external drive also.

    I run OS X from one drive, have my home account on a second drive and improves performance.
    VMware image is on non OS X boot drive which I think helps so there isn't I/O contention.
    OS X shouldn't really be doing much paging regardless of what you are running if you have enough memory. A lot of system and application paging 'maps' to VM, and you can't disable or want to with either Windows or OS X. The Windows \C: is going to be wherever the VM client is located.
    Now, whether VMware or Parallels running as an application is paging and using OS X swap, that just depends on your system memory, and goes to OS X boot drive like any application.
    OS X can run off external and you could install some windows programs to use an external drive (FAT or NTFS partition) to free up space also. Or use Parallels and put the VM there.

  • Running SL from an external drive on Lion-installed iMac

    I recently installed Lion on my iMac with the intention of having Snow Leopard bootable from an external drive when I need to run all my PPC apps etc.  Having formatted an external drive, I put in the Mac OSX SL DVD into the Mac to install it on to the external drive, but before I could do this, a message appears:
    " You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X with this version of Mac OS X. 
                                                   You have install (sic) Mac OSX 23.1"
    Can anyone interpret this message for me please?
    Thanks

    The SL DVD. If you actually tried it, you'd have found that the blank drive doesn't appear because it doesn't yet contain Mac OS X.

  • Viewing Pictures with iPhoto from an External Drive

    Hi... My wife and I share the same computer and we both have a lot of photos stored on our machine. My wife has a magnitude of more pictures than I do. I tried to search for this, but I wasn't having any luck finding it. Maybe I wasn't using the correct key words. Anyway......
    Is it possible to save photos imported into iPhoto to an external drive that you can connect to later and view again using iPhoto? Our hard drive is getting loaded down with photos and I would like to have another place to store the photos. Besides, I would like to keep a good copy in our fireproof safe as a backup at the least.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Yes, you can move a Library to an external drive. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then
    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.

  • Cannot open the iPhoto from the external drive?

    I followed the procedure to copy the iPhoto Library of my Macbook to the external drive in order to free up disk space. However, the library on the external drive was not in the selection list after the pressing the "option key" and opening the iPhoto, as many have suggested. The iPhoto is version '08. This may be very dumb question. I tried to remove the "Picture/iPhoto Library" and then opened the iPhoto. The response was that " the iPhoto Library not found, etc."   It did not seen to recognize the external drive. I have exhausted my limited understanding on the subject. Appreciate greatly for any suggestion. The MacBook is down to about 5% free space.
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much for responding.
    The external drive I'd Seagate 500 GB, connected with USB. It is formatted as Journaled. This drive was used as the Time Machine drive before i installed the 2T Time Capsule. I like to relocate the iPhoto Library to the Seagate to free up the internal drive and hopefully a much faster response time on MacBook.
    I did what you described. However, the external drive (and copied Library) was not found after holding the Option key and launched iPhoto.
    I did the following tests:
    1) I could launch the iPhoto by double click the icon from either Picture/iPhoto Library or External drive/iPhoto Library.
    2) I modified a picture in either icon and the modification appeared in both.  It seemed, some how, that both libraries are linked.
    3) I used the Disk Utility to verify that the external disk is indeed Journaled. However I do not remember how I erased the old backup files from the external drive.  Do I need to reformat ED again to have a clean slate?
    Thank you much for your help!,

  • How do run iPhoto from an external hard drive?

    I've moved my entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive and now can't remember how to open up iPhoto from that drive.

    depress and hold the option key, launch iPhoto and use the resulting select library window to point to the new location - be sure to fully test the iPhoto library in the new location before deleting the old library and be sure tha tyour backup software is backing up the external drive

  • How Do I Run Windows from an External Drive?

    Recently my PC with Windows XP crashed- it's old and the motherboard went. I had a full version of Windows XP on there, and I would like to know what I need to do in order to run Windows off of that hard drive (I've taken it out and have it in an enclosure). Ideally, I would like to be able to plug in this external drive, and start a program that will allow me to run Windows off of this drive.
    I have downloaded a trial of Parallels Desktop, which seems like it will work, but it needs me to install a transporter on the Windows drive before it can migrate the drive. The problem is, I can't access my drive anymore since my PC is no longer broken.

    Then I guess my question is how do I go about transferring my PC data to the external drive without a PC*.
    In Parallels, I try this:
    Migrate Windows from a PC > External Storage Device > then it says "please install Parallels Transporter Agent on your PC
    Since my PC no longer works, I need to find a way to transport the data. As of now, I plug in my Windows drive to my Mac, and it doesn't even show up. I would be OK with running Windows on my Mac via a VM, although it looks like I would need to buy Windows again since it's an OEM copy...
    *I found a site where it says it can be done, but I am just having trouble with the transporter program.

    Hi, Thank you so much for the info.... I really do appreciate it. We had the laptop updated by way of a system upgrade with RAM and an additional SSD drive. Once reconfigured all programs were reinstalled but Iphoto is not among them. Iphoto was on the laptop when purchased so we have no additional discs. Before the laptop was updated we backed the photos up to an extrenal hard drive so we have them, but cant access them. Could I purchase Iphoto 8 stll? Would this work? We would also require an external CD drive as we no longer have the disc drive in the laptop (I think the extra new bits took over). You may have noticed I have very limited knowledge on computers so any help dispite how simple it may sound to some would help me greatly. I just want all my photos back .... Thanks inadvance... Hope to hear soon x
