My iMac gave up the ghost last week. Good news is I back up to Backblaze. They sent me a hard drive with my back up on it. I have bought a new iMac and am trying to copy across or import the photo library from the hard drive back up to the new iMac. I can get Photos on the new iMac to see the backed up photos, but cannot copy the wretched file across to the new iMac. Any suggestions?
If the library will not copy form the Backblaze drive, please contact them for instructions. You should be able to copy the library from the Backblaze drive to the new iMac and once on the new iMac just double click it and that should launch Photos and also teach it where you stored the library. If you cannot copy and paste the library from the BB drive then it's BB issue.

Yes, just double click the library and that should make it the default. You can also change it in Photos - Preferences
Thanks - have managed to copy it across now. Although it’s now called photo library 2 - is there a straight forward way of making it the default library?
