Just to be clear it is unlikely that the Photos app on your old Mac is looking at old photos in your old iPhoto library as these should have been copied into your current Photo’s library. Syncing the library from iCloud photos instead will not add or change the subfolder structure to what you already have. If you copy the library as suggested above, then it should look the same as your current Library structure. This will allow you to select the Library file you copied over. Once you have copied the library you can then point the Photo’s app on your new Mac by holding the Alt key down while opening the photos app. This is why your iPhoto Library legacy is smaller than your current photos library. You don’t need to worry about the iPhoto library as when you upgraded your previous iPhoto library to the new Apple photos format, it should have moved all existing photos at the time into the new Photo’s library.
Apple Photo’s stores all photos in the Library file container. The simple way to copy your library is to copy your photos library from your old Mac to your new one as this will be a lot quicker than downloading from iCloud. Would the new MBP download all these photos into nicely organized "Photos App" subfolders?Īny guess on what might be in that extra 127GB of "photo" data on the 2009 MBP that is not in iCloud?Īre there any other issues/concerns that I should be mindful of?
IPHOTO 9.6.1 WON'T OPEN EL CAPITAN FULL
I assume this discrepancy is because there are certain iPhoto/Photos App files/duplicates/redundancies/etc that iCloud does not need/use.Ĭan I simply turn on iCloud Photo Library on the new MBP and download the Full Originals to populate the Photos App on my New M1 MPB or is this unwise? Notably, my iCloud Photo Library is only 613GB compared to the 740GB Mac Photos library that it backs up. I would like to get away from/shed this legacy file organization and clean up this all into one streamlined photo library upon my migration to the new M1 MPB. For example, A "Daisy Disk" scan still sees these as two separate libraries (a 315GB iPhoto library and a 427GB Photos App library), even though they are effectively combined in the Photos app. This includes an inelegant co-mingling of my original iPhoto library from when Apple replaced the iPhoto App with the current Photos App. This Photo library of 17 years has grown to 740GB on the MBP. For backup, we use iCloud Photo Library and also backup the 2009 MBP and photos to our Airport Time Capsule (which requires the Photo Originals all be kept on the Mac).
I currently use the Mac Photos App as our central library (system library), combining/uploading family photos and movies taken on both my and my wife’s iPhones and a family DSLR.
