I am having a problem transferring Photo library to my new Macbook Pro.
I have 13,000 + photos in Photos in my 2008 MacBook running El Capitan in the Photo Library.
I bought a new MacBook Pro and just downloaded Mojave. I have my old MB backed up on external hard drive using Time Machine.
I migrated just the documents from the hard drive Time Machine and only 414 of the 13,000 + photos were imported.
I got a "Cannot Import Items These items cannot be added to your Photo library because the file format is not supported by Photos?
I only wanted the documents and Photo library to be imported and all I got were photos from 2016 and 2017, all of the documents transferred. All the older and newer photos didn't transfer. All the photos in old MB are in the Photo library. The current photos are from my Iphone 7 (they didn't transfer) and the older ones are from several different older cameras and phones.
What do I need to do to get the rest of the Photo Library to transfer?
I ended up wiping the new MBP clean as the setting changed to how they are on the old MB. All I want on the new MBP is just the Photo library and some document, nothing else. What is the best/essayist way to do this?
Hopefully problem solved. I will use Icloud to do the transfer by buying more storage.
