Backup photos and drop?

I have a Mac Book Pro (circa 2009) running El Capitan 10.11.5. I recently bought a Seagate 1 TB portable drive more. I want SOME pictures of my library of Photos to SMT. My Mac is completed. I have 64 GB of photos on my hard drive and I need to access all of them every day. I tried to make a copy of the photo library, but it can not open JEP. Is it possible to MOVE photos from my hard drive to free up space on the outside and still be able to open when I need occasionally and how? I'm quite a novice to no details are very much appreciated! Thank you.

What happens when you double-click the photo library file located on the external hard drive? It is not just open?

You can keep the two separate libraries, but this raises potential problems and confusion. Especially if you start using my photo stream or iCloud photo library. My suggestion would be to simply move the entire library on the external drive and don't forget to start it before turning on the Mac.

I tried to do this several times but did not work. Please guide me how to solve this problem.

    Reformat the sd card, fat 32. And try again. If it does not work. Try another sd card to verify that it is not just a problem with the sd card.

  • I downloaded El Capitan and can't drag and drop Photos for pictures of Mac to my documents Pages.  Is there a solution?

    I downloaded El Capitan and can't drag and drop Photos for pictures of Mac to my ' 09 Pages documents as I did before with iPhoto.  Is there a solution?

    Hi gr.

    Drag / drop photos to Pages ' 09 seems to be broken. Copy-paste works.

    Select the photo in the Photos. Edition > copy

    Click in the page document. Edition > paste

    Faster:

    Click on the photo

    Command + C

    Click on the pages

    Command + V

    Kind regards

  • Why can I I is no longer drag and drop photos directly from photos of apple in the Pages?

    Until very recently, you can take a photo from iphoto/photos and then quickly drag and drop directly into the Pages. Now, I have to drag and drop the photo on the desktop, then drag and drop again from office to the Pages. Is this just a way more Apple is dumbing things down and make things slower for those who already know how to use their software or some setting I'm not aware of?

    In the Pages v5.6.2, you can click, drag and drop an image from the Photos app in the page document related, just as you can from the media tool in the toolbar of the Pages v5.6.2.

    To get an image from Photos in a Pages ' 09 v4.3 document, you must click on the image you want in Photos and menu editing: copy, right click in the document to Pages ' 09 followed to select Paste from the context menu. There is no drag and drop Photos in Pages ' 09 v4.3. There is no access to the photo library within the Pages ' 09 v4.3 support tool.

    Tested: OS X 10.11.5.

  • lack of photos and videos on newly purchased iphone 6s follows backup to icloud

    Before buying a new iphone 6 sec, I did as stated and supported my old 5s up to icloud and itunes on my computer windows laptop. Everything seemed to be perfect with the new phone - all contacts, have been downloaded, but I just realized that the photos and YouTube videos are missing. I had four of the five short videos of my granddaughter practicing at the piano that were somewhat specific, but they no longer exist. The backup to icloud and my laptop from my old phone was conducted the same day. Not sure the number of photos I had originally but I have about 186 on my new phone with many of the missing.

    Please help me.

    Were you sync pictures and videos to iCloud? Check iCloud.com to see if they are there.

  • Export of Photos - how to change the drag and drop non-original standard 'export '.

    Hi all Mac experts.

    I'm on OS X 10.11.3 and 1.3 on an iMac Photos 2009.

    Like other users, I had been frustrated by the slow export of files by drag / move.

    I have already learned that at least one of the reasons are that the files are converted if simply to slip and fall.

    Here's my question: is it possible to define the standard action on drag-and-drop to be 'non-original export?

    and if so, how?

    Thanks and best,

    What.Ever.Flies

    You can't and can never change how to drag and drop work - if you hold down the option key by dragging and dropping a picture, you will get the unmodified original or are you export the unmodified original, you will get it

  • Are the Photos and videos uploaded (iCloud Photo Sharing) equal to the (ios iphoto reviewed)? If not, what is the new equal to that? If so, can I organize the layout as I wish? can I convert (iphoto ios log backup) to the file (iCloud Photo Sharing)?

    I always use the ios 7 because I like my reviews of iphoto, ios 8 and after don't support is not iphoto, I intend to upgrade to the latest version of ios. so my question is:

    Are the Photos and videos uploaded (iCloud Photo Sharing) equal to the (ios iphoto reviewed)?

    -If so, I can arrange the provision in the way I want? What happens if you want to convert my old (iphoto ios log backup) to import (iCloud Photo Sharing) that it is?

    -If not, what is the new equal to that with the possibility of transferring these journals?

    Thank you

    No they are not really the same thing and you can't convert one to the other. When / if you update, you will simply lose your logs. You cannot influence other available photos of the order appear in

  • Drag-and - drop photos in Pages

    How you drag and drop the photos to PHOTO pages.  Before El Capitan iPHOTO and PAGES worked well.

    Well now that you have "improved," you let Apple show you how you never really want to do something useful.

  • Why don't I do drag and drop photos in real size of more attachments in the new Windows Live Mail?

    I am a real estate photographer, and one of the things I have to do on a regular basis is to send pictures to people. They need these photos as attachments. I downloaded the new Windows Live Mail and I noticed that I can't not simply 'Drag and Drop' photo attachments. Instead, Windows Live mail has resized the picture down and put a boarder around it. I went through the settings and I don't see anywhere I can click to the program, what he had ALWAYS done before, that was simple. Now to send a file, I have to click on the "Attachment" button, navigate my external drives and find the file that I send. I have hundreds of customers and too many files having to negotiate through. I prefer to be able to slide and have it set out in its full dimension, as I always did before in previous versions of WLM and Outlook Express.

    I ALSO can not simply with the right button on a photo, select "send to" and then 'recipient' and attach files there either. Now, it uploads to the Skydrive. My customers don't want it. They do not want additional steps. They just want an email with attached files.

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I can't imagine that you got rid of those simpler features. Please don't tell me you didn't get rid of the simple ability to re size and attach pictures, did you?
