I can go back to this one later and delete it once I confirm this one is working fine. Now that that's done, I've got two copies of that library, one in the original location and one in the old one. For instance, if I wanted to move it to my external drive - and here I've got one with no files in it at the moment - I can simply copy the entire thing there, and it will copy all the photos, everything associated with that iPhoto library. You can put it in another folder, and you can move it to another drive. It's a single file, it's actually a package, and you can look in it if you want but I'm not going to go into that right now. There you can see I've got something called iPhoto Library, and this is the default location for your iPhoto library. Here I am in my Home folder, and under my Home folder I have Pictures. You could put that anywhere you want, but it all stays together, so you don't have any choices about putting some things in one place and some things in another.

Moving your iPhoto library is not as complex as moving an iTunes library, because you don't have any choices.
