so, my issue is that the hard drive is full. apparently with 246Gb of photos.
yet i can't find where these photos are stored?
when i break the hard drive down (it only shows me 5 folders) the 'users' folder reveals 160Gb of data and the others a combined total of about 22Gb?
which doesn't make sense at all to me.

what id like to do, is move the photos from the Mac hard drive to the 'LaCie' external drive but if i can't find them i can't move them.
i know this probably belongs on an apple support forum, but I'm not the best at navigating that site either.

The photos are probably in iPhoto. This is a capsule not a folder. Export them then delete from iphoto.

A bit like microsoft emails.

Not sure about how different the Mac works.

Should've typed that, thought about it, then deleted the post.

If he could find the photos to right click on them, he wouldn't need to ask the question...

Get the demo version if cleanmymac, scan the drive and use the info to track them down. If you've done any editing, or even just viewing, the stupid Mac will have duplicated them for you, so you don't bork the originals.

Sorry can't be of assistance. One last straw...How about asking your good mate Jimmy Google about your problem ? Surely someone among the millions of Mac users would have had encountered similar heartache ?

i just checked in Photo on a Mac laptop. Open Photo, select all photos by Command, A, then File Export
