[QUOTE="rnckw, post: 1652913, member: 190553"] Firstly many thanks for taking the time and trouble to offer help with my problem, it is much appreciated. My total iPhoto program contains about 20 GB's of pics but as I have created several different libraries I now realise that many are duplicates and as you suggest possibly Thumbnail images. After copying the first Library to a separate USB drive, I continued trying to copy the rest to the same drive but on each occasion received the message that there were duplicates and I could either cancel or replace the image. In some instances as many as several thousand in total. I clicked on replace. So I now have a USB drive with supposably all my photo's which is obviously useless and to clean up the system before upgrading I deleted all the iPhoto app files etc. I am not familiar with the "Image Capture App" that you mention but will now go back to square one - I have a cloned copy of my system which I can re-install (Carbon Copy Cloner) and start again. Any advise that you can give for the transition would be of great help. With kind regards and many thanks. [/QUOTE]
