Hello,
I am transferring files from one mac to another and am not well versed in file system. I am not using the time machine. I have several questions, and so if you can answer any, I would greatly appreciate. Comments or suggestions welcome.
QUESTION 1:
Is the file that contains "ALL DOCUMENTS" all of the documents minus the organized folders? I have a lot of duplicate docs and images and want to clean up an reorganize folders. Then I will back up properly moving forward, and add images back to iphoto at one time. SO far I copied the whole file and dropped it into a desktop folder.
QUESTION 2:
If I choose to use my desktop folders from other mac and drop them onto the the other macs desktops will I be duplicating files? I am not sure if the desktop documents are just shortcuts of the real file documents as in windows program.
QUESTION 3:
Is it a bad idea to download a program that will help me locate and delete duplicates? I have 8000+ documents.
QUESTION 4:
If I copy my dated file folders from the iphoto program, will the iphoto system on other computer recognize?
