TMO Quick Tip - Move Your iPhoto Library
by , 7:30 AM EST, November 29th, 2006
After explaining how you can move your iTunes library to another disk to save space on your primary hard drive, I was asked if you can do the same thing with iPhoto. The answer is yes. Here's how:
You iPhoto Library folder is inside your Pictures folder. |
---|
Navigate to your new photo library after clicking the Choose Library button. |
---|
In the iTunes Quick Tip, we moved only the folder that your music is stored in instead of the entire iTunes folder. That let us continue to use iTunes even if the drive with our music and video files was unavailable. iPhoto works a little differently, so be sure you don't launch iPhoto when the drive with your photo library is unavailable.
Thanks to TMO reader Mike Haase for posing this great question.
