[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1507732"] I think the problem here (at least from the description provided) is your misuse of the term "library" as "a collection of pictures" when the rest of us are referring to the iPhoto library, which is a package file. I can't find the post you're referencing at the moment, but my usual instructions for moving an *iPhoto Library* to an external hard drive are extremely simple: 1. Copy the entire iPhoto Library package to the external drive. 2. Open iPhoto with the option key held down. A dialog will request you to open or create a new iPhoto library. 3. Choose "open" and navigate to the external drive's *iPhoto Library* package. 4. You are done, and once you feel confident that everything is working as it should, you can delete the original *iPhoto Library* file from your boot HD. Since you appear to be using the phrase "library" to mean a loose collection of pictures, these instructions are obviously not going to work. [/QUOTE]
