How can I merge libraries

I have several iPhoto libraries. How can I merge them?

Thanks, Terence ..when I've a while to spare, and can cope with the trepidation (..will it keep Albums organised? ..will it keep metadata? etc..) I'll have a try with Aperture (on a couple of teeny Libraries) and see what happens.
For now, iPhoto Library Manager is doing the job PERFECTLY, and even copes gracefully with error messages and alerts from iPhoto - without seizing up, quitting, or giving up. VERY reliable .."I'm impressed.." (as Deckard says in Blade Runner).

    How can I merge two Iphoto Libraries?

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't merge accounts.
    You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

  • How can I merge iTune libraries?

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro tower. Each has iTunes 10. Each computer has its own iTunes music library. There is about 70 % overlap of music. How can I merge the libraries so they are the same on each computer? Many thanks for any help.

  • How can i merge different  photo libraries

    I would like merge iphoto libraries from different accounts/user profiles, which are on the same mac ?

    If you have the latest version of iPhoto and Aperture you can merge libraries with Aperture. Otherwise you'll need the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager  which can merge libraries into one another while keeping the edited versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, places and faces intact.
    You can either merger Libraries A and B into a new library C so that you preserver A and B incase the merge doesn't go to your liking.  Or, you can merge A into B so that B is the master library. However, be sure to have a backup copy of B before starting the merge.

  • How do I merge libraries from old and new apple Ids

    Several years ago, my ISP required that I change my email address.  My iTunes library ended up some being purchased under the old @adelphia.net address and part under the new @comcast.net address.  In trying to play certain songs from the library, it says that the computer is not authorized on the @adelphia.net user ID and won't play the song.  I no longer recall the old account password and that email no longer exists to get a message to reset it.  How can I merge the libraries all to the new apple I'd?

    You can't. You will have to purchase your other tracks under your present Apple ID.
    You can call Apple to see if they can assist you:

    I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts.  All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together.  I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists.  How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
    Thanks

    You can't merge iCloud accounts.
    You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

  • HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, one with 10GB and one with 20GB...how can I merge them into the 20GB plan?

    I have two iCloud plans.  One with 10GB that backs up my 1Phone and iPad.  I also have a 20GB plan for my iMAC and MAC BookPro.  How can I merge them so that I only have one plan and one iCloud to manage?    My first instinct is to delete the one on my iPhone/iPad and add the iMac plan, but I don't want to do it without an expert opinion.

    No, accounts cannot be merged.  Am I an expert?  I only know what I've read here numerous times regarding merging of plans - the answer is always emphatically NO.  Since this is a user-to-user forum (Apple doesn't participate here), you'll have to do some searching about on this topic and either accept or reject the "common" advice.

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

    You can't merge Apple IDs.
    And you also can't change the name of an iTS Apple ID to another one that ends in a me.com.
