How to Merge the Contents of Two Folders in Lion, Keeping the Newer Versions of Duplicate Files.

Select and copy all the contents of the folder containing the newer files. Paste the files ONTO the folder containing the older files. The unique files will be copied into the older folder without further ado. For the duplicates, a window will appear warning that a file with the same name already exists in the older folder. Check the "Apply to All" box and click on the Replace button, not the Skip button. These steps will merge all the files in the newer folder into the older folder, replacing the duplicates with the copies from the newer folder.
Unfortunately, the only information that the warning window provides about the duplicates is their common name, not sizes, dates, or times. These steps worked for me because I knew for certain that all the newer files were in one folder.

Great, I just lost 10 GB of data thanks to OSX folder merge... because appaerantly I should have known better not to keep a subfolder inside my folder I was trying to merge
I can not beleive more people don't have a problem with this. Merge contents in Lion does NOT merge contents if 1 or more of those supposed "contents" is a subfolder
Merge contents of two folders only works for files, it does NOT work for subfolders!!!!
Can we please get this acknowledged as a bug that needs fixing?
EXAMPLE:
Drive1 / Folder1
               - text1.txt
               - text2.txt
               - / subfolder / text3.text
MERGE TO
Drive2 / Folder1
               - text1.txt (this gets updated / merged)
               - text2.txt (this gets updated / merged)
               - / subfolder /
                         - text.txt
                         - text2.txt     (this should get text3.txt merged into it, from Drive1, but instead this subfolder is REPLACED, and NOT MERGED!!)
Why would i want to replace a folder if I'm trying to merge it!?
Almost 2013 and OSX still cant merge a folder? unbelievable

How to insert the new Servlet Api Class files?

Hi,
I need to know how do I add the Servlet Api Class to my java directory
after i download it from the net? Thanks for your help in advance!

niceguyme,
If you downloaded the J2EE 1.3.1 API and installed it to (for example) c:\j2ee131, then what you need to add to your class path is:
c:\j2ee131\lib\j2ee.jar
I also add c:\j2ee131\lib\ejb10deployment.jar to the classpath, but it is not necessary.
there are several ways to add these to your classpath. It depends on what Operating System you are using. On windows 98 type OS, you can edit the autoexec.bat and add these directly to your already existing classpath. Windows NT,2000, and XP: you can add them to the system environment variables classpath. Hopefully you know how to do this on your machine. What I like to do on the windows machine is create a batch file that will start it from within a command prompt. I do this because there are times when I need to compile my code using different versions of the Java api. I am enclosing an example of one for J2se1.4.1 and j2ee1.3.1.
contents of java141.bat
@ECHO OFF
ECHO JDK 1.4.1 and J2EE 1.3.1 are current versions
set HOLD_CP = %CLASSPATH%
set HOLD_PATH = %PATH%
set CLASSPATH=.
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\jdk14\jre\lib\rt.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\jdk14\lib\dt.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\jdk14\lib\tools.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\jdk14\lib\htmlconverter.jar
rem **** J2EE STUFF ****
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\j2ee131\lib\j2ee.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;e:\j2ee131\lib\ejb10deployment.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%HOLD_CP%
set PATH=e:\jdk14\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\TextPad 4"
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\windows\command
set PATH=%PATH%;%HOLD_PATH%I hope this helps.

I downloaded the newer version of firefox but when i click on icon to bring it up the older version appears and tells me i am using an old version Help please

i want to know how to replace the newer version.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

How to merge the contents of two Photo Booths?

Hello. We have two Macbooks (Old + Existing). Both are/were updated to Maverick. However, I have restored the Old Macbook back to original (Snow Leopard) in order to sell. I manually took off files as well as doing a Time Machine backup.
I would like to add all the photos and videos from Photo Booth on the Old Macbook into my Existing Macbook.
Is this possible either a. through a specific file in Time Machine (I do NOT wish to replace the Existing with the Old. This is a merger.) or b. with the Photo Booth library I copied onto an external harddrive? However, this is one 1.75gb file with the Photo Booth icon (a film strip) rather than separate photo files. I am unsure how to access individual photographs or videos. I was hesitant to open it up in case it negatively affected the Existing Photo Booth.
Thanks for any assistance.

How can i compare the contents of two folders ?

how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!
B

I really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
Any bright ideas Apple?

I have been struggling for many weeks about how to add the ToolArea into the Masthead. Can someone please help me?
I followed with the tutorial :[How to Merge the Masthead and the Tool Area|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f058ef9c-b211-2a10-4fad-8b88d5a1fe74?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

…and the other 98 missing features.
Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card
