Working and moving photos between two open libraries?

I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you work in and transfer photos between two open libraries at the same time? It is more an organizational question...i.e. I want to have some photos only appear in a particular library...

nk3:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have one library open at a time but with iPhoto Library Manager (in the free mode) you can transfer 20 photos at a time between libraries and keep keywords, comments, etc.

Moving photos between two iphoto libraries

Is there any way to easily move photos from one iphoto library to another? We have two macs at home and my wife and I keep separate iphoto libraries on each one. Both computers are using iphoto '08 (version 7.1.2). I back up both libraries on an external hard drive. Recently my wife was traveling with one computer and I needed to access some pictures that were on it. The only way I could figure was to:
1) hold down the option key when opening iphoto on my machine, choose the library on the external
drive that had the photos I needed.
2) Then from within iphoto export those photos.
3) Then close out iphoto and reopen it with the library on my machine.
4) Then finally import the photos into the library on my machine.
Is there any faster and easier way to extract photos in a situation like this?

Like Larry said, use iPLM to copy events or albums between libraries while keeping metadata, keywords, titles and descriptions, intact.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

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!

Why can't I cut and paste photos between project?

I recently made the transition from iPhoto to Aperture. One of the weird things is that I can't cut and paste photos between projects. In iPhoto this is an easy way to organize your projects if some photos are in the wrong place.
You also can't split projects, in iPhoto you can do this easily. Say, if two day's photos ending being in the same project, in iPhoto there's a button that you split them in the middle. Is there something like this in Aperture?

Copy and Paste:
In iPhoto "copy and paste" was possible, because it was not possible in the early versions, to see both projects at the same time, the one you are moving from, and the one you are moving to.
In Aperture you simply drag from the source project to the destination project to move image versions around. Also, it is easy to see more than one project in the Browser at the same time, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Two or More Browsers Open
To drag to another project, select the images in the project, then drag to the other project in the source list, for example:
To split a project, select the images you want to have in the split part, then create a new project from these images: Enable the check mark "Move selected items to new project". This will split the original project.

RE : Drag and Drop operations between two outlinefields

Hi,
Has any one tried the drag and drop operations between two Outline widgets ina
window.Any help appreciated.
Thanks
balsubHi Balsub,
Here are some lines which can help you :
First of all, your 2 OutLineFields must be in a draggable state.
In the event loop of your window, you have to listen to the event
ObjectDrop
on the 2 OutLineFields :
When Self.<MyOutLine1>.ObjectDrop(SourceX = SourceX,
SourceY = SourceY,
SourceField = SourceField,
TargetX = TargetX,
TargetY = TargetY,
TargetField = TargetField) do
When Self.<MyOutLine2>.ObjectDrop(SourceX = SourceX,
SourceY = SourceY,
SourceField = SourceField,
TargetX = TargetX,
TargetY = TargetY,
TargetField = TargetField) do
Then, when you receive this event, the LocateNode() method will give you
the DisplayNode which is beeing dragged :
(assume that your OutLineFields are mapped to the class named :
ClassOutLine,
and Col is an Integer which is not important here)
TheSourceLine : ClassOutLine;
Col : Integer;
TheSourceLine = (ClassOutLine)((OutLineField)(SourceField).LocateNode(X
= SourceX,
Y = SourceY,
Column = Col));
If you want to remove this line from the Source OutLineField :
TheSourceLine.Parent = Nil;
TheSourceLine.UpdateFieldFromData();
If you want to insert this line at the end of the Target OutLineField :
TheSourceLine.Parent = (OutLineField)(TargetField);
TheSourceLine.UpdateFieldFromData();
And if you want to insert this line before or after the Target line of
the Target OutLineField :
TheTargetLine : ClassOutLine;
TheTargetLine = (ClassOutLine)((OutLineField)(TargetField).LocateNode(X
= TargetX,
Y = TargetY,
Column = Col));
TheTargetLine.PrevSibling = TheSourceLine; // Insert the source line
before the target line
or
TheTargetLine.NextSibling = TheSourceLine; // Insert the source line
after the target line
TheTargetLine.UpdateFieldFromData();
I hope this help you !

There is no configuration for it. It should work.
Can you try it in a different user account. If it works in a different account, then it is likely something in your current user account that is messed up. If it doesn't work in another user account, then it is likely something with Mail, itself.
You could try downloading and installing the 10.6.7 combo update. That may repair what is wrong.

I have two IPad's and tried to create two Itune libraries on my computer. Now I cannot find the original library on my computer and the Ipad will not sync?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers?

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers? I have two MBP; I will refer to one as computer A and to the other as computer B. I would like to be able to plug in my external hard drive, boot up iTunes, and if there were any changes made to the library previous to its last time accessed on this compluter, they show up on that computer, regardless of being imported on the other.
A hypothetical example: I import three albums called 1, 2, and 3 on computer A over a week or so. I take the external hard drive and plug it into computer B. The entire library which was visible on A, is visible on B, including albums 1, 2, and 3.
Is this possible? If so, what files need to be copied onto the external? I'm trying some different combinations, trial and error basically. Hopefully someone knows and can answer before I mess up my library. I also want to do this to free up space on my computer. All importing will be done from disc.

iTunes/Preferences/Advanced : point your iTunes to the new location of the Library.
Set "Share on local network" in the Sharing tab, and you or everyone on the local network can play your music.
You make a backup first of the Library.
Move the follwing to the new location:
/Users/your username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
have fun.

Drag and Drop images between two listviews

I need a help for listview drag n drop opretion on winform. where listview1 hold the images and i want to drag images from listview1 to listview2
and then when i click any button i want all paths of Images which is in the listview2. and also i want to set the image size on listview2. Please help me.

Hi Ajay Kumar,
According to your description, you'd like to drag and drop listviewitems between two listviews.
Here is my example for dropping items between listviews. You could add one imageList control to your form.
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
this.listView2.AllowDrop = true;
this.listView1.AllowDrop = true;
this.listView2.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.LargeIcon;
this.listView2.DragDrop += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.OnDragDrop);
this.listView2.DragEnter += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.OnDragEnter);
this.listView1.ItemDrag += new System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventHandler(this.OnItemDrag);
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"D:\Material\Emoticons");
foreach (FileInfo file in dir.GetFiles())
try
this.imageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(file.FullName));
catch
Console.WriteLine("This is not an image file");
this.listView1.View = View.LargeIcon;
this.imageList1.ImageSize = new Size(32, 32);
this.listView1.LargeImageList = this.imageList1;
this.listView2.LargeImageList = this.imageList1;
//or
//this.listView1.View = View.SmallIcon;
//this.listView1.SmallImageList = this.imageList1;
for (int j = 0; j < this.imageList1.Images.Count; j++)
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
item.ImageIndex = j;
this.listView1.Items.Add(item);
private void OnItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e)
DoDragDrop(e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move);
private void OnDragEnter(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
if (!e.Data.GetDataPresent(typeof(ListViewItem)))
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
return;
var items = (ListViewItem)e.Data.GetData(typeof(ListViewItem));
if (items == null)
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
else
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
private void OnDragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
ListViewItem items = (ListViewItem)e.Data.GetData(typeof(ListViewItem));
if (items != null)
this.listView2.Items.Add((ListViewItem)items.Clone());
Results:
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck. I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.
