I'm a novice Mac user who inherited photo equipment from my photographer Dad. He used Aperture to manage his thousands of photos.

I tried copying a 20 gB file to my computer but it's failed each time. Hard drive = Iomega Mac user name = Apple. Could someone please write the exact text I'dneed to write in Terminal to copy from Iomega to Apple.

I suggest using rsync, which can be easily resumed if interrupted.

rsync -azv /Volumes/Iomega ~/Photos/

  • The name of the aperture file I'm trying to copy from Iomega to Apple is "Aperture Library Alaska20g" I'd appreciate your using this info to again type the text I should enter. Many thanks. – Jerry Dec 08 '13 at 18:50
