An external hard drive
can be beneficial for backing up photos from a MacBook. If you have a
large library of business photos, backing up the files not only creates
additional copies in case your computer crashes, it frees up system
memory if you choose to delete the photos from your computer's hard
disk.
1.
Connect
the external hard drive to the computer using the USB cable and power
on the unit. The external hard drive's icon appears on the desktop.
2.
Double-click the external hard drive's icon to view the files on the drive.
3.
Click
"Finder" on the dock to launch a new finder window, then locate the
photos to transfer to your external hard drive. Use the search tool in
the upper-right corner to search for photos if you're not sure where
they are located.
4.
Click
your computer's name under Favorites and click the "Pictures" folder to
view images and albums created with photo applications. Double-click
the folder containing the photos to transfer to your external hard
drive.
5.
Select
the photos. Press and hold "Control" while clicking photos to select
multiple non-adjacent files. Press and hold the "Shift" key while
clicking photos to select multiple adjacent files.
6.
Drag
the selected files from their locations to the external hard drive's
window that you opened. A status bar displays the progress of the
transfer. Wait for the transfer to complete.
7.
Click
the menu at the top of the window and click "New Folder" to create a
folder to organize the photos. Name the folder and then drag images to
it.
8.
Close
all open Finder windows when you finish and then drag the external hard
drive's icon from the desktop to the Trash bin on the dock. The Trash
bin changes to "Eject" and the icon disappears from the desktop.
