=====Moving the iPhoto library to another drive:=====
 +
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. That rules out a NAS.
 +
 +
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
 +
 +
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
 +
# Quit iPhoto
 +
# Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
 +
# 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.
 +
# Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Moving the iPhoto library to another drive:

iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. That rules out a NAS.

A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

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.
