How can I divide a Current Library into two?

I understand how to create a new second iTunes Library,
but how do you transfer some songs/album covers
to the new library?
The only way I can think of is drag the songs/albums
to a folder on the Desktop and then drag them into
the new library. Then search for the Album Art again.
Any better way to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks, Tom

  • How do I divide a large catalogue into two smaller one on the same computer?

    How can I divide a large catalogue into two smaller ones on the same computer?  Can I just create a new catalogue and move files and folders from the old one to the new one?  I am using PSE 12 in Windows 7.

    A quick update....
    I copied the folder in ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes that contains all of my local mailboxes over to the same location in the new account. When I go into mail, the entire file structure is there, however it does not let me view (or search) any of the messages. The messages can be accessed through the Finder, though.
    I tried to "Rebuild" the local mailboxes, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • How can i split my itunes library between two different accounts?

    For years my son has always been a part of our itunes library.  now that he is off at college, I would like to split his music off from our library to a library of his own with his own account info.  Is this possible?

    that works for anything he purchases after he creates the new account.  What about his current music that currently resides in my itunes library?  How can I get his current music out of my library into his new account/library??  Thanks..
    Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
    iTunes account - used to purchase items
    iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

  • Can i divide my iTunes library onto two iPods?

    My iTunes library has more songs than one iPod Classic can hold, so I will uncheck some songs/albums to make room for new stuff. I have a second unused iPod classic. Can I divide my iTunes library between my two iPods? Alphabetically? By Genre? Thank you.

    Simply use iTunes to create two different named playlists -- one for each iPod.  Then, connect each iPod to iTunes by cable, choose to only sync the playlist that you designed for that particular device, then sync.  Do the same for the other but select it's playlist.

  • New Pc: how can I transfer my Itune library into a new pc?

    Hi,I will shortly be replacing my pc with a new one and I have a little dilemma:
    1 = what do I need to do once I have a new PC up & running? If i just download Itunes will all my exsisting Libriray still be there?
    2 = Also I have purchased some videos, How can I save them on external drive or cds?
    anyone can advice would be highly appreciated.
    many thanks

    *1 = what do I need to do once I have a new PC up & running? If i just download Itunes will all my exsisting Libriray still be there?*
    You'll have to move your music and library from the old computer. The iTunes library is a database that links to the songs on your hard drive, neither the library files or the songs will get to your new computer just by installing iTunes.
    *2 = Also I have purchased some videos, How can I save them on external drive or cds?*
    Have a look at this article: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play your iTunes purchases. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How can I divide my Aperture Library between digital and scanned images?

    I am scanning 20,000 35mm slides to my Aperture Library.  I have started importing them as TIFF files because the resolution of the JPEG files is not as good.  Because of the number and size of the images, I would like to "split" my Aperture Library so that my current digital images are on the iMac HD and the scanned images are on a dedicated external HD.  Is it possible to do this?  If so, how do I set it up?  Will the scanned images be managed or referenced images?

    "Scan" means "digitize".  Once your media is scanned, it is digital.  Your question then becomes "How can I group my scans?" and "Can I store the Originals of the Images based on the scans externally?".
    There are many ways to group Images.  All of them are based on either giving the Images you want to group some unique marker, or using a marker that is already unique to them as a group.  How you do this is up to you.  Options include but are not limited to: put them in Projects and put those Projects in a Folder called "Scans", keyword them on import as "ScannedFrom35mmSlides", name them when scanned with a prefix such as "Scand35mm_", etc.
    Aperture allows you to store the Original of each Image wherever you want.  Storage devices mounted directly to your computer are recommended.  Aperture provides tools to move each Image's Original inside your Library package (the Library package shows in Finder as a single file with the file extension ".aplibrary"), to relocate it outside your Library package at any location you specify, or to relocate files which are currently outside your Library package wherever you want.
    Originals inside your Library are called "managed".  Originals outside your Library are called "referenced".  This is a per-Image setting, though moving these files is almost always done in batch, and most people keep their Library with every Image's Original either managed or referenced.
    Having a "mixed Library", with some Image's Originals managed and others referenced, presents no problems.
    The commands for relocated the Originals of the currently selected Images are on the "File" menu.  Directions on using these commands are in the User Manual here.
    Here is a concise guide to the parts of Aperture.  Should any of the above be confounding, it may help clear things up.
    I suggest determining the naming conventions, storage, and keywording that you are going to use in Aperture before you proceed.  Rigorously building well-designed storage and retrieval structures from the start will make your image database easier to use, and more useful, than making changes ad hoc along the way.
    Fwiw, JPG and TIFF are not differentiated by resolution (which is the pixel dimensions).  TIFF is recommended because by default it is not compressed (no data is lost), and it can use 16-bits of information per pixel (JPG is limited to 8 bpp).  16-bit TIFF is an excellent -- and standard -- file format for high-quality scans.

  • HT1349 If I have changed my computer how can I recover my music library into the new one?

    How can I do this? any help will be much appreciated
    Thanks

    If you have made backups of your desktop before it crashed it's a simple matter to restore the backup to your repaired computer. I hope you did this, because it's likely you lost much more than your purchases.
    Restoring purchases is easy; you just download them again.

  • How do I divide my iTunes library into multiple libraries based on unique Apple ID?

    I have one iTunes library on my iMac that started with just me.  As each of my kids and my husband got their own Apple IDs, all of their purcahses are loaded into my library.  They have their own IDs because each has their own phone/iPod/iPad and is responsible for paying for their purchases through their own accounts.  We decided to use only my computer so we could share content.  But Apple restricts each device from having content from more than 5 IDs anyway. 
    Now, I really don't want my kids stuff anymore though they may want some of my music (which I imported from CDs for the most part).  I learned how to create a new library but I don't understand how to move content into each library.  Would it make more sense for each kid to set up iTunes on his own computer?  If so, how do I move the content from my Mac to their computer, when it's not my entire iTunes library moving?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Duplicate the entire library, then in each copy throw away the content that you don't need.
    You can duplicate the iTunes library by copying the folder to a new location.
    You can switch between libraries by holding down shift as you start iTunes.
    iTunes uses the name of the folder as it's window title. You could, for example, rename the copied folder as "Bob's iTunes" and the original as "Alice's iTunes", assuming the two people in question are called Alice and Bob.

  • How can I get my itunes library into my Iphone?

    I have manged to sync my Iphone with macbook pro laptop, however, my Itunes library hasnt transferred from my laptop to my Iphone: iphone's itunes library only contains a few purchases.

    How did you try to sync your music (and you are looking in the Music app on your phone, not the iTunes store app) ? You should be able to sync music by connecting your phone to your Mac and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen using the Music tab to select which of your music library to have in your iPhone's Music app.

  • How can I split my current video into several segments. To put on 3 different disks. Can I do this with out losing all the work?

    I need help. I have completed my video and now realize it is too big for a single DVD. Is there a way I can split the video and not lose the current info so I can put video on 3 different disks?
    Thank You

    Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your results from further searches for that .iso file.
    If you burn a Timeline content to a video file saved to the computer hard drive, you can use Publish+Share/Computer/and one of those choices to get a video file (.mov, .mpg, .avi, wmv, mp4, m2t). But, this route does not allow for menus. You can take the saved video file and transfer it to USB Flash Drive or memory card, and, if your player supports that, you can playback the file with the player.
    When you burn a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, menus are supported. And, what you have on the DVD after the burn to disc are two folders (OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS) in the correct disc system format. It is the VIDEO_TS Folder on the disc that has the video files and menu files for DVD-VIDEO format.
    When you take the Timeline content to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD, but use Folder (4.7 GB), you end up with a saved folder which contains the same OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder that you would have gotten from the direct burn to disc. But, now you need to take just the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and get it to a DVD disc in the correct disc system format. You do that with a free 3rd party software such as ImgBurn.
    If you go the ISO Image route, your DVD video files (video and menu et al) are saved as a file in format represented by the .iso file extension. It is essentially a copy of your DVD-VIDEO data including menus. The .iso image produced can be taken to DVD disc to produce the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    So, in the case of burn to folder, you are looking for a saved folder with OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder inside.
    In the case of the burn to ISO Image, you are looking for a file with the .iso file extension.
    The Save In: location of the burn dialog should point to where you are going to find the folder or file after the burn to.
    Please consider. We will be watching for further developments.

    Add On...have you told me yet what is exactly shown in the Save In field of your burn dialog?
    C:\Users\owner\Documents or something else?

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

    Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
    Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
    Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
    Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
    Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.
