![]() Running out of storage is BAD and will cause BAD THINGS to happen (data loss) if you continue. A "start up disk is full" message means you are running out of STORAGE space, not memory.Ģ. You should OF COURSE make a full, separate backup of the entire iPhoto Library to another drive BEFORE doing any of this. You may wish to (at some later point) create a smaller "on the go" library of pictures in the place where the "old" library was so you can access some pictures when you use the laptop away from home. CAUTION: do not open iPhoto unless the external drive is ON and visibly mounted on your desktop. ![]() Now iPhoto thinks the default library is on your external drive, and it is safe to delete the old one. In that dialog, navigate to the "new" iPhoto Library (the one you moved on the other drive) and simply select it.ģ. This will produce a dialog box asking if you want to create a new iPhoto Library (you don't) or open one (yes). Open iPhoto while holding down the Option key. ![]() COPY (not move, COPY) the entire iPhoto Library package (file) to the external drive.Ģ. It would probably be wiser (not to mention easier) to just move the entire iPhoto Library to the external drive. The "start-up" disk is your internal hard drive.
