Hi,

I've installed Leopard and iPhoto '09 on my Mac. I have iPhoto 6 on an external hard drive.

How do I import the iPhoto 6 photos and book projects into iPhoto '09 ( I also want iPhoto '09 library to be on the external hard drive ) ??

Thanks.
 
As long as you do not need to keep the library accessible to iPhoto 6, it is pretty straightforward. Hold down "Option" when opening iPhoto 09. Select the library on your external drive. iPhoto 09 will upgrade the library to support iPhoto 09.
 
Cheers. I was suspecting it was that, but I was worried I might be wrong.

Thanks BaldiMac.
 
BaldiMac,

Should I have done that for iTunes also. :(

I've been just Adding to Library in groups instead.:(
