[QUOTE="bborup, post: 1628199, member: 339871"] Hello, Last night I updated my OS to 10.10.1 and also updated to latest version of iPhoto. Then - on a roll - I wanted to update my iPhoto library to an external hard drive (it had been a while). This hard drive is not usually connected to my computer, but only used for backing up files. I moved the iPhoto library to the ext. hard drive thinking I copied it. I didn't. So now the library is on the ext. drive and not my computer. I can run iPhoto when the ext. hard drive is connected, but when it is not it is asking me which library to use. Basically I want the iPhoto library to be BOTH on the internal drive and the external drive. So - how do I copy it back into my 'pictures' folder? And how do I - in the future - copy the iPhoto library (for back up) to the ext drive without removing it from the internal drive? I hope someone can help. Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
