Hello hilary299,


Thank you for that information. You can move your Photos library from your computer to an external hard drive to save space on your iMac. Take a look at the information in this support article for information on how to do that:

Hello hilary299,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I see that you have not yet received an answer to your question. Perhaps if you were able to provide some additional information to clarify your question, perhaps someone could assist with an answer.


Some things that would help to know:


  1. Where is the hard drive connected? To your iPhone or a computer?
  2. Are you wanting to transfer directly from your iPhone to an external hard drive?
  3. Are you transferring to iTunes on your computer?
  4. Do you want to transfer to an external hard drive connected to your computer?
  5. Anything else you can provide to clarify your question.


Best regards.
