with upgrade on MBA Yosemite 10.10.3......I now have Photos App instead of iphoto. no issue there.
i have some pictures in Picture Folder and some videos in Video Folder. Can't remember how i copied them over.
recently, when connecting my iphone to MBA and copy pics...it seems that Photos App takes over and wants to import both pics and videos to that folder. not exactly sure difference between Pictures Folder and Photos...other than photos allows sharing (am presuming with other Mac products I have) and editing, making slideshows etc.
in windows, i knew my way around perfectly. would just open windows explorer and could select, drop/drag anything anywhere. Sure do miss that explorer function...i knew the tree structure very well and where all files were like the back of my hand.
With Mac quite a bit different.
can anyone provide some 'easy' way to understand how to move files in pictures and video files to photos
and how to move all files in photos to my external drive.... as my storage is only 128GB and fast filling up. I chose not to upgrade to more as I thought it would be so easy just to copy to external drive. And maybe it is...just have not worked on that yet.
i purchased a book "switching to the Mac...the missing manual' Yosemite Edition by David Pogue, it is pretty detailed and difficult to find answers specific to MBA rather MBP or Apple Computer.
what i really need is a yosemite apple course where I can attend and get hands on and personal help. of course, that is not available in my location.
I am sure someone here can help
