Okay, so I see an export feaature in iPhoto, and I did it even though it says the size was only 10 gb for 22000 photos. Also had some presets for quality and format that I just left alone. My question is, is that the way to do it,or will I lose some quality or features if I go to import in to

So do you just want to clone the whole library to another machine or are you planning on adding these to an existing library? If it's the former then you can just grab the whole Pictures folder and copy that to the new machine. CB On 5/4/12 7:51 AM, Kliphton wrote: Okay, so I see an export

No need to really copy the entire Pictures folder. The iPhoto Library is packaged up nicely within the Pictures folder and it's all you really need to copy if what what you're wishing to do is make a copy of your same Library on another machine. The Export option that you chose will have most

Not sure I would worry about it. Compared to modern computer disk space it's probably not worth your time to weed out mail all that much. For example, your email was about 8k of text. That means if I get 50 simmilar messages in a day we have 400K. At that rate, a full year would take about

True, there might be some other folders in there, but they will be a very small amount of stuff compared to iPhoto. So if you just want a backup and to do it manually when needed then you can just copy the iPhoto folder to your backup location and you're done. No need to export stuff or do

Ok, thanks for that info. I just hit command-shift-M to show my mailboxes, then command-I to look at info. My quota limit shows I'm using 1.24GB and I have 10.74GB to use in total. Does this mean on my Mac, or on gMail server? It's a pretty cool area, it shows how much each folder contains.

That sounds like storage on the Gmail server. A lot of that gets weeded out by Google (trash, spam, etc.) You can set the Mail client not to leave messages you download on the server. As for storage, I use Time Machine backup. I have had to restore mail folders from it once, but it works
