I just click and highlight all folders...and cut and past them into the external drive. BAM! They are there exactly as they were elsewhere. I do this periodlcally as well to everything.
Highlight-drag em then drop em into the new location.
It may take awhile depend on how much and how many you have. Buy they go over in full folders or separately, the exact same way.
*PS-I have over 12,000 photos, 5,000 songs, 1,000 videos-movies, hundreds and hundreds of folders...all moved the exact same way. No issues. Ever.

I've highlighted them and tried that and when I go to drag it to the new location it won't let me. A circle with a slash appears and it won't do it.

ive never used a mac so i doubt i'll be helpfull, but cant you just 'drag n drop' them? or burn them to a cd then move them, if theyre a big deal you should hve copys anyway.
and my main question, why on earth have you got sixteen thousnd photos?
