IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER 3 ARCHIVE
#BACK UP IPHOTO USING IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER ARCHIVE#Īs long as we don’t edit any photos in the archive (but viewing and exporting is OK), we don’t have to worry about and data corruption/loss due to the migration. I am running PhoShare to liberate my photos from iPhoto. I used iPhoto Buddy (described earlier) to split my library into 5 smaller libraries that are a few gigabytes in size with a few thousand photos in each. Next, run a PhoShare export that copies photos (and events, keywords, ratings, faces) from the Mac system/disk over to the Windows system/disk. Specifically, share a directory from my Windows machine via SMB over the local network, and make that shared directory writable by my user account. Then, instruct PhoShare export the photos to that SMB-mounted volume.

Export events, not albums, since we don’t want duplicates of all the files.(We have to make a choice here there is no good way to keep Events and Albums / Smart Albums.) Disable “Use file links”, since we are exporting to a remote disk.

Please read the rest of this article before executing the next step, which will take quite a bit of time and disk space. #BACK UP IPHOTO USING IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER SERIES#.#BACK UP IPHOTO USING IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER TRIAL#.#BACK UP IPHOTO USING IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER SOFTWARE#.#BACK UP IPHOTO USING IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER ARCHIVE#.
