Make sure Aperture is quitted durning this. #4 Once it has finished copying it over, double click the Library on the external HD. Aperture will open and now see that it's library has been relocated. #5 If you see that everything works like it should you can delete the Aperture Library on the MBP in Users>YOURUSER>Pictures Because of the transfer rates of the cable, you may see slower performance when using Aperture.
