I recommend using Migration Assistant and transferring everything. Then, on your new computer, do the necessary cleanup. You can use a tool like AppCleaner to prompt you to delete app support files

I got my iPhone 15 last year. I’d be interesting to see how your wife likes her new 16 in a few months. I like my 15, but there’s a lot of stuff on it that was put on when it was new that I

Well, you’re right. I didn’t have any malwear anywhere on my computer however I was told by someone to check it out anyway since someone tried to scam me in my bank account online. However, when I

So today I got my new computer. It’s sitting in the box. I haven’t opened it yet. It’s always a lot of work to start on a new device. I could’ve had Best Buy transfer current computer apps to

Interesting that they suggest switching the system library between two libraries rather than logging into a different user account.

I sent the same question to support at fatcatsoftware.com <http://fatcatsoftware.com/>, makers of PowerPhotos. Their reply is below. Their suggestions are similar to what has been posted here with

This might be a novel solution, don’t turn on optimize storage for the iCloud account. Then do regular backups to an external drive. The OP is fighting against a situation that is “either/or”,

Steve, the way I understood your original post, you were concerned about your “up to this point” photos, going forward you will need to repeat what ever steps you take. If you are worried about

I think you will have to accept, that it’s either full-size or low-res. It can’t be both. My solution would be - as someone else has already suggested - to buy a fast external SSD with enough

In which case, I’d save the full-res photos elsewhere and back them up *before* they go into iCloud. Otto

?That’s exactly right. That’s how iCloud Photos works when Optimized Mac Storage is enabled. That is, there’s no dependency between iCloud Photos and Time Machine.

Are you saying that future photos will be “optimised” (reduced) automatically without you having a chance to back them up? That can’t be right. Otto

No, of course not: like any backup, it needs to be kept up to date. Otto

Otto, that is what I was kicking around but then I realized what Ben said earlier, that it would not capture future photos. Ben, that looks doable, though I know myself well enough to know that future

Doing so wouldn’t capture future photos added to the library.

I think your best scenario is to move your library of originals to an external drive, create a second user account on your Mac, sign into your same Apple account, and point iCloud Photos to the

Steve, I must be missing something here, but why can’t you back up the *full res* photos as I said *before* enabling Optimize…? Otto

Something isn’t clear to me about this. You want to free up space on your internal drive, right? But you don’t want to put the photos on an external drive because you leave it behind when moving

But if I enable "Optimize Mac Storage" in the Mac Photos app then my local copy of Photos Library.photoslibrary would only contain thumbnails, or anyway reduced resolution copies of my photos. The

You could use TM, CCC or SD to back up whatever you want. Otto
