How to export photos AND settings into a new iPhoto library

Hello,
My iPhoto library is becoming humongeous (slow, risk of corrupting the file etc), hence I'd like to split it into various libraries (which I can manage with the very useful iPhoto Library Manager (shareware)).
How can I export not only the photos themselves, but their settings (metadata), i.e. Albums and Events, perhaps even slideshows.
Any ideas/pointers/suggestions are most welcome.
Cheers,
Veit (from Austria)

Here is what I found in the iPhoto Library Manger's Help section: indeed the "elegant way" to copy pix AND their metadata. Many thanks for being so helpful.
Cheers,
Veit
Copying Albums
When keeping your photos separated in multiple libraries, you sometimes have the need to move a set of photos from one library to another. With iPhoto, the only way to do this is to export the photos from one library and then import them into another. However, in the process of doing this, you lose all the data you've worked to assign to your photos, such as titles, dates, keywords, and ratings. iPhoto Library Manager provides a way to copy photos from one library to another without losing this valuable information.
An album of photos can be copied from one library to another by dragging the album(s) you want to copy from the albums list in the main iPhoto Library Manager window and dropping them onto the library you would like to copy them to. iPhoto Library Manager will first collect the information about those photos from the source library, and then import those photos into the destination library and restore all the photo information as it was before. If a photo has been modified in the original library, then the original version of the photo will also be transferred to the destination library, so that the "Revert to original" command in iPhoto will work as expected. If you drag more than one album at once, and a photo belongs to more than one of those albums, the photo will only be imported once, but will be added to all the appropriate newly created albums in the destination library.
Some notes on what will and won't be copied when copying albums between libraries: [and so on ...]

How to transfer program and license to a new computer?

Purchase a new laptop ant would like to transfer the program to it. I'm not sure how.

1. Plug-in CD/DVD drives are cheap, easy to use and pretty much essential, otherwise much of the software you paid for is lost forever.
2. You CAN in some cases download Acrobat Pro. But don't rely on that, keep a backup - not on your computer! - What version do you have?
3. If you get an "already activated" error you will need to contact Adobe. This usually happens on the third install.

How to Backup iphone and restore onto a new computer?

I am currentely using a PC, on which my iphone is currentely backedup on. But i have recentely just purchased a MacBook Pro, how do I backup my iphone on my PC then restore it on my new MacBook?
Would be great if anyone could help!

Move your iTunes library & other data...contacts, calendars, photos, etc. from your PC to your MacBook Pro. Then, authorize iTunes on your Mac: iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer. Under iTunes>Preferences>Devices, disable auto-sync. Connect your phone, right-click in the left device pane, select "Backup". When finished, right-click again & select "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. When finished, sync your iTunes content back to your phone. You should be good to go.
Read here about copying your iTunes library & other data:

If you don't want to do this yourself, make an appointment at an Apple store...bring both PC & Mac...the genius bar will do this for you.

I keep getting old settings when I try to install Firefox again. I have deleted the program files and the profile, but the program is finding the old bookmarks and settings somewhere. How do I delete this information to make a clean installation?

I have a corrupted bookmark file and want to totally delete any information on the bookmarks and settings. I have deleted any files which reference Mozilla and Firefox from my hard drive and have gone into the Registry and deleted all references to Firefox. But every time I reinstall Firefox the program finds this information. Is it in the sync folder and how do I clear out that folder?

Want to transfer from old computer to new computer and discontinue using old computer. Which computer should be the main computer in the setup? Or should I transfer bookmarks and settings by another method instead of using sync?

Have a computer which I will need to retire (bad hard drive), 32 bit OS. Have new computer 64 bit OS. Both computers have Firefox 5. Old machine on Windows 2000, new one on Windows 7. Old computer has all the bookmarks and settings that I need for the new computer. Also have Zotero on the old computer and would like to transfer it to the new computer. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Much thanks.

Hi,
Regarding bookmarks, settings and history, Firefox Sync can definitively help even if it's not it's primary goal. You would need to transfer your Zotero configuration manually though.
In order to transfer your data using Sync follow this instructions making your new computer the primary device: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]].
Once everything is set up make sure that you have all the information in the new computer. After it, you should be able to retire your old computer without any issue. Remember, that if you remove the bookmarks before disconnecting your old computer they would be removed from your Sync account too.

How do I move my iMail accounts and settings to a new mac?

How do I move my iMail accounts and settings to a new mac when both machines are running Mountain Lion?
On the destination Mac, I have two mail accounts that I want to keep, so essentially I will be adding another 4 accounts (from source mac) to the exting 2 accounts (on destination mac). How can this be done?

If the request above is too difficult (no replies??), then can someone help me with moving my mail & settings between the two Mountain Lion machines (the 3 mail accounts from the source machine to be moved to the new mac - the 2 mail accounts on the new Mac can be trashed if required - simple move from one machine to another)? Is that easier??

How to Export Snapshots and Materlized View in Oracle 9i

Hi,
How to Export Snapshots and Materlized View in Oracle 9i .
I require to Migrate from 9i to 10g with either Export or Script.
Please help

Using exp-imp for snapshots generally causes problems, at least for me. I would prefer taking their creation scripts and running them on the new database.
By the way, what do you mean by "migrate from 9i to 10g"? Are you trying to create the same snapshots in another (10g) database or are you trying to upgrade your 9i database to 10g? If it is the latter then you can just upgrade the database automatically with the upgrade assistant or manually using upgrade scripts.

How do I move all my Firefox settings to a new computer.

My old pc is not working but I have the hard drive and access to all my files. all I am trying to do is move all my settings for Firefox...bookmarks, passwords and settings, to my new machine. I cannot do the sync, I cannot do a backup and restore as my old machine is not working....just want to move the appropriate files. I have moved my old profile to my new desktop. Running Windows 7 on old and new. Thanks!

Thanks but I have read that page. That page gives specfics about certain files to copy... When I installed Firefox on my new machine, it actually had one option to import settings from IE. But not firefox? My problem is not unique as I purchased a new computer, and am simply trying to migrate all the info to the new one. I know from the questions on this support site that this happens every day.... the page you referenced has things like:
"Create a new Firefox profile
For information on how to create a brand new Firefox profile, please read the Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles article, paying specific attention to the Creating a profile section. "
If I was trying to create a "brand new profile" that would be helpful...but my issue is to move everything to the new pc. (the old pc no longer works so I cannot do a back up and restore...or a sync) The page you reference gives specifics on about 15 different things...do I need to do each one? for example...do I need to "create a new profile"?
Thanks for any help....this is really frustrating...I moved Thunderbird over and all the settings in about 10 minutes...just can't seem to find the solution here for Firefox.
