Hi, i just got the new Macbook air and i dont know how to transfer all my pictures from the Photos app from my Macbook pro 2013. I tried migrate assist and external hardrive but i am unable to transfer. Any other options? (besides icloud)
MacBook Air
In what way were you unable to transfer?
Best way in my opinion is an external drive, so with that:
What exactly (in detail) did you do?
What (in detail) happened?
When I selected the information to transfer using Migration Assistant, i selected all, and when it completed transferring, i opened Photos Library and the application was empty.
When I connected my external hard drive, I opened up the back up, double clicked on Photos app and it wouldnt load into the application from the Macbook air
Is you back-up a Time Machine drive, or do you have the photoslibrary visible as a "file" on the hard drive? If the library is there, you can just drag it to your Air's hard drive and double-click on it. I wouldn't open the back-up without copying it first-- that's the point of a back-up!
Also, you may want to check in Photos preferences where you can indicate the location of your library. It might be searching the wrong space.
Okay thank you, will try this!
It worked, i am happy!! All pictures transferred!! Thank you!!
