How do I migrate my Aperture library from my primary HDD to an external drive?
Yes you can, here are the steps:
- Connect your external disk
- Open Finder and go to
<your home folder>/Pictures - move the Aperture Library.aplibrary file to a location on your new disk
- Open Aperture and go to preferences ( from menu or by pressing ⌘+, )
- On the General tab, change the location of the library to where you copied the Aperture Library.aplibrary file
That's it, the library is now on your external drive.
