[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1023991"] Your best and safest bet is to copy the entire iPhoto Library package to the external. That will work, there won't be any name conflicts, and the problem will be resolved and the photos backed up. But yes, the reason you're running into this problem when you try to copy manually is that you're trying to copy multiple files with the same name to the same place. Renaming 5,000 pictures to try and avoid duplications of filenames sounds like an tedious job to me. I really do think your best option is to simply drag the package called "iPhoto Library" to the external drive, thus copying it. [/QUOTE]
