Hope to make my problem crystal clear.
1. Have perfectly fine iphoto library (from older version) that resides on external drive.
2. Replaced Mac, now have new iphoto software.
3. Hooked new Mac to external drive.
4. Want new Mac to carry on adding pictures to existing library
5. Prefer to work in-band if possible, i.e. use iphoto itself to do this rather than mucking with files and folders.
6. Can't find clear unambiguous instructions how to do this. Not sure what the "import" options actually do. Surely this is a common thing. What I don't want to do is make another copy of it.
Please help with CLEAR instructions that do not assume I know anything. Just EXACTLY which buttons to press in exactly the right order. Is there some kind of conversion I have to do to turn my existing library into a package.
Thank you.
