[QUOTE="Mark Shaw, post: 1425707, member: 262507"] Hi all, New to this forum......but addicted to Mac for years!! I am having a HUGE problem copying my 75G iPhoto library from my MacBook to an external HD (Formatted FAT32) - (as some of my friends still labour on PC's)...... I have tried to copy the library as a unit, AND have gone into "package contents" and tried to copy the individual Folders / files......... My estimated time climbs to around 1500hours!!!!!!! I can quite easily copy the folder named "Originals" which is 63G and obviously stores the original photos in a couple of hours. I think the problem has something to do with all the metadata? such as tags / faces / key-words / events etc - I have around 2000 photos, yet when I copy the package contents, it is showing that it is copying over 150 000 files. This is obviously info I don't wish to loose as it will take me for ever to redo - even if my memory serves me perfectly!! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks Mark [/QUOTE]
