How to copy iPhoto keywords from one library to another

I have over 30 iPhoto Libraries.  Managing them is great using iPhoto Library, but keyword management is awful (if iPLM has a way I haven't found it).  I would like to know how to copy keywords from one library to another.  It's a pain to have to continually doing manual setup.
In advance, THANKS!

With that many photos you might consider using one of the high end DAM (digital asset management) applications.  I use Media Pro 1. It uses catalogs of thumbnails that are linked to the photos on your hard drive, CDs or wherever.  A single catalog can hold 250,000 images.  It uses Catalog Sets like Events in iPhoto.  There are Categories which are like albums in iPhoto.  Those and Catalog Sets are virtual.  You can batch rename files once in the catalog either by date or text.  The folders holding the photos on the hard drive can be set up auto update in the catalog so when you add a photo to the folder it will appear in the catalog. You can add keywords, hierarchical keywords, descriptions, etc. and write them back to the original file. 
It has some built in editing capability and versioning capability. Clicking on a keyword will display all photos with that keyword quickly.  Searches can be made across multiple catalogs and have the results displayed in a new catalog.
I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, etc. The catalogs can be viewed and keywords, descriptions added, etc. without the original files being available.  You just can't do any editing, slideshows or anything that requires the full sized file.

  • How To Copy Selected Music From One Library to Another?

    What is the best way to copy selected music from one library to another?
    I have a big and growing iTunes library -- 33,000 songs.
    A year ago I copied my library to my daughter's new iMac.  Now, a year later, I'm off to visit her and wonder how best to update her library.  In the past year I have added a number of items to my library and I'm sure she has done the same -- some might be the same but many will be different.
    How do I update her library with the new things I've added in the past year but not wipe out things she had added or duplicate when we each have a song?
    I can load any / all of my stuff on an external HD and take that to plug in to her computer.  Then what?  I want to avoid duplicates and make sure I get stuff like album artwork.
    I'm running iTune 10.4 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 -- my daughter will have the same iTunes and OS X once we update her software.
    Any advice would be great.
    Thanks

    If you're sharing the same Apple ID and all your songs are from the iTunes Store, it's easy:
    In iTunes on your computer, go to File->Preferences->Store and check the box next to MUSIC under AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS.
    You should also read this article, the section titled TO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED APPS, BOOKS, MUSIC, OR TV SHOWS TO YOUR COMPUTER:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    You could also use an rsync utility such as backuplist+ to perform a 2-way sync of the files in your two libraries while your computers are connected via FireWire with one of them in FireWire Target Disk Mode, or from your external hard drive with your daughter's computer and then to yours again. After that, you'll need to use iTunes on each computer to update its library with the new files:
    http://rdutoit.home.comcast.net/~rdutoit/pub/robsoft/pages/backup.html
    This last would also be the preferred method if you have authorized each other's computers for media purchased with each other's Apple IDs (i.e. you are not sharing the same Apple ID), or if you have music from sources other than the iTunes Store. Most likely, though, music from sources other than the iTunes Store would not be legal to copy in this way for this purpose, although there is probably no technical impediment.

  • How do I move pictures from one library to another?

    How do I move pictures from one library to another?

    For just a few export them out of Library A via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original and import them into Library B.
    However, this will not include any edits or metadata (keywords, titles, etc.) that you've added.
    To get the original image, any edits and all metadata, keywords, titles, descriptions, places, etc., you'll need the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.  It can copy albums or events from one library to another and keep those items I mentioned earlier with the photos.

  • How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

    Hi,
    How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
    Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
    Regards, Shreyas R S

    Hi Shreyas,
    From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
    If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
    As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
    So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

  • How to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another?

    We have two machines with OVD servers on them. The configurations should be identical from one machine to the other. We suspect there is a problem with the configuration on one of them. We need to know how to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another.
    Can you tell us how to do that?

    well i have this in mind which may help you.
    You would need to have a public ip address to the machine you have consoled to and on internet.
    Download the tftp software from below link.
    http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
    This software does not only act as the tftp server but also you can select the interface of you ethernet card as tftp server ip address.
    For ex if you are connected to a console and have a wireless card which is connected to internet also you connect you eth lan card to the eth or fast eth of the router.
    you can select which ever interface you want to act as the tftp server.
    you will need to add ip addres for you lan card and also config the router port as same if needed.

  • How do I move photos from one library to another?

    I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
    Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

    To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
    Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

  • How do I transfer itunes from one library to another on two different PC's?

    I have an ipod mini and have an itunes library on my home pc as well as my work pc. How can I transfer itunes from one to the other and keep them in synch?

    There is no simple way to do it, as itunes wont let you use it on another computer without wiping the contents first.
    However if you really want to transfer songs to another computer then you could try this;
    * make sure that your ipod is accessible as a disk drive (ipod options)
    * when you plug your ipod into the computer you want to transfer to make sure you select "no" or "cancel" when it asks to wipe the contents. Leave the ipod connected and quit from itunes.
    * go to "my computer" and access the ipod directly. You probably have to select "view hidden files" from windows. You will see a lot of folders with odd names like ZX838aff with similar named files inside.
    * copy these files to a folder on your computers hardrive. Now remove the ipod and start itunes.
    * import the files from the folder you made in the last step.
    * Now your music is on itunes, but with unrecogisable names.
    This is the only way I have found to do it, but there may be another way, say with an application to do the hard work for you.

  • How do I transfer keywords from one photoshop to another

    How do I transfer the keywords from one computer with photoshop cs6 to another computer with photoshop cs6.

    I believe you can do it via Bridge CS or CC. From the Keywords Panel menu, choose Export, then Import on Bridge's Keyword panel in the target computer.
    Back-ups Bridge CS6 - Collections, keywords etc.
    Photoshop would then pick up on it.

  • How do I transfer tunes from one library to another

    I'm trying to put some of the less played tunes in my iTunes library in a second library I've created. I haven't found any obvious means of transferring them from one library to the other, or any instructions on how to do it. Can someone help?

    Just select the few you want to import. When you choose that option from the Add to Library selection, navigate to your original iTunes Library (its default location is ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) then select each individual song or artist you want to add to the new Library.
    This assumes you have the following two options chosen in iTunes Preferences > Advanced:

    Hi Bhupinder,
    According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
    As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
    Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
    To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
    and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.

  • How to Copy Customized Partner From One Opprtunity to Another in CRM

    Hi experts,
    How to save more than one same type partner(with same partner FCT) in CRM opportunity Application?
    I am using following Function Module...
    CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'
    EXPORTING
    it_partner = lt_partner_com
    CHANGING
    ct_input_fields = lt_input_fields
    EXCEPTIONS
    error_occurred = 1
    document_locked = 2
    no_change_allowed = 3
    no_authority = 4
    OTHERS = 5.
    I am giving the input field name as 'PARTNER_FCT', 'PARTNER_NO', 'DISPLAY_TYPE', 'NO_TYPE', 'MAIN_PARTNER' and 'RELATION_PARTNER'.
    I have created one partner function for saving additional entity. And I am trying copy one existion opportunity by using CRM_COPY_PROCESS. And I am maintaining that partner via 'CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'. But it is not saving the data in session level also.
    The limit of that partner FCT record is 0-999.
    Please help me how to save this.

    Hi,
    Forgive me if I've misunderstood your query, but what you are asking sounds like standard customization to me - Copy Control.  I assume you have created your own Opportunity type and that is where the problem lies?
    Have a look at the following IMG path (transaction SPRO > then press F5 on next screen to open the IMG):
    SAP Implementation Guide > Customer Relationship Management > Transactions > Settings for Opportunities > Define Copying Control for Opportunity Item to Opportunity
    Create an entry for your opportunity by entering the source opportunity (to copy the partner from) and the target opportunity (to copy the partner to) and tick the "Partners" checkbox for the new entry - that will automatically copy the partner from one opportunity to the next as specified.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Andrew G.
