So, I recommend first dragging the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder onto the desktop. But it’s a little panic-inducing the first time you transfer it over, because this plan is essentially the equivalent of packing a moving truck full of priceless family heirlooms and hoping it makes it to your new address, somewhere out there in the dark. Moving this library is not something that Apple recommends, but I’ve had mine located on an external drive for two years without incident. This particular package contains not just every photo you’ve loaded into iPhoto, but your albums and any projects you’ve made with the program. The iPhoto Library is what Mac OS calls a “package.” Essentially, it’s a folder you can’t (easily) open, and it has a unique icon, not a folder image. If not, the Apple Genius Bar is a lovely place to spend a few hours. When you get back, the app should be working just fine, and if so, quit the program. In fact, go for a walk, and try not to take any more photos while you’re out. But have patience and let iPhoto do its thing - and don’t force quit the program, since everything should keep moving. Really - you have no choice in this matter, and the app might seem like it’s frozen. While iPhoto slowly grinds its gears to ensure your library is working with the newest version of the software, sit back and enjoy your memories as they zip across on the screen. Make sure your library is working fine (or as well as can be expected, considering all the foodstagram shots you’ve got jammed in there). If there are updates available for iPhoto, download and install them, and then open the app.
