Accidently Moved all my events into one event

My Mac was running slow so accidently dropped all my events into one.
I then closed and reopened Iphoto hoping the changes wouldnt take effect.
Urgently need to undo the action. The UNDO button is greyed out.
I clicked on Autosplit events, but how can i get my last copy of the library back and reload? Where is it saved?
Please help

No, it doesn't. You must be proactive in setting up a backup strategy like using Time Machine with an external HD. If you haven't setup a backup plan then you have no backup of the library to fall back on.
So you're only course of action is to split (auto or manually) the one large event into events based on your criteria, i.e. by date, by photo opportunity, etc. It could take a while. One way to do it by date, i.e. by month is to use the Search function at the bottom of the window and do a search by each month of the year, When you get the results for the first month, select them all and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option. This way you can create an event for each month of each year.

How do I combine all my calendars into one and delete the others?

I have a work computer, a home desktop, and Apple air laptop and an 1phone 4s.
I use Outlook calendar for all my appointments and only need one calendar.
When I get notifications of my upcoming events on the Oulook page and on my iphone, I get multiple notifications, sometimes as many as 6 times.

Your old account is the one you migrated, but it has been renamed because the new account had the same name. "Fixing" this is a bit complicated. It is possible to transfer data from one account to the other. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
A cleaner solution is to do this:
Create a temporary new admin user account with a completely different username.
Log into this new account.
Delete the new account you created before migrating.
Delete the old account you migrated that has the changed name.
Re-migrate your old account from the Mini.
Log into the newly migrated account and delete the temporary account.
And, the simplest solution is to use the migrated account as-is and delete the account you originally made on the new computer.

Problem merging all my partitions into one!

I'm currently having problems merging all my partitions into one big partition. Disk Utility keeps on saying that "MediaKit reports partition map too small" when i try and erase any partitions. What can i do to merge all my partitions into one so that i can use bootcamp? I've tried searching this forum but cant seem to find any info on this.

I don't know what your partitions look like, how they were created, the number of, or if you did something special like from the terminal or by shrinking + adding 3rd partition or something.
But the solution stays the same.

Can I merge all user accounts into one?

Currently I have three user accounts on my iMac and I want to merge them all into one? Does anyone know how to do that? I've tried surfing through System Preferences for a way but I can't find one.
If it can't be done, how do I copy all of my content over to one account so I can delete the other two?
Any help is most appreciated!

Open the Users folder on your hard disk, drag the other two folders to the desktop, click Authenticate when prompted, provide your administrator password, go through the folders, and move files to other parts of your account's home folder as desired.

When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

"Search" top right of a finder window. How move all found items into one f

Hi,
When I have "searched" for a name, and all the names show up, they still remain in many different folders. Is there a way in search or somewhere else to bring them all together into one folder?
Thanks,

No idea if this works with Spotlight because I use EasyFind myself...

Can I put ALL my applications into one RAC database

Dear all,
Is it possible to share all of my workloads between a single RAC database or would it be better to run more than one RAC database on the the same cluster if they have very different characteristics (e.g. OLTP vs DSS or sensitive vs non-sensitive data). Oracle seem to imply that they have cut down their number of physical databases drastically but have they been able to do that because the workload is very homongenous, i.e all ERP stuff? Should it be possible to accommodate all workloads by having different instance parameters or does that defeat the object of being able to fail over a service from one instance to another?
Views/experiences please.

Hi, generally it is possible to put everything into one RAC database, especially if they share the same data. So you do not have to transport data from one database into the other.
Furthermore the resource allocation can perfectly be addressed with the resource manager of the database together with services. The workload has not to be homogenous.
However it might make sense to connect the DSS users to different nodes in the cluster than the OLTP users (via. services).
On the other hand there might be non technical issues which would make seperate databases more attractive. Like Patching could mean downtime of all applications. Like certifications of software, which would not allow you to upgrade your database, like ERP needs 10.2.0.2 while DSS would be better off with 11g) and so on.
There is really no right or wrong.
Still to get the most of the benefits out of a cluster the fewer databases you have.

Combining all classical albums into one folder

can i combine my 11 classical albums into one folder or category to remove clutter in my music library?

mark4440,
As a general rule, once music is in your iTunes library, it is best not to rename or move any of their files or folders. iTunes loses track of the files when you do that.
As noted from time to time on this forum, the basic iTunes structure of album/artist/song does not really suit classical music that well. Many folks like to edit the artist field to include the composer so that they can see the composer on the iPod.
Does your library include non-classical as well as classical music? If so, make sure you have filled out the "genre" for each of your classical pieces. To do that, right-click on the song, "Get Info," select the genre field, then "OK.". Also make sure that Genre is visible in your iTunes music view (View > Options if you need to adjust). You can also create a smart playlist, keying on genre, that includes only your classical music.

Daylight savings moved all my event ahead one hour

When Daylight savings kicked in all of my iCal events were bumped ahead 1 hour, is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure why your appointments would have changed
Because the time for appointments are relative to GMT. DST changed relative to GMT which never changes. You can force the times to always remain the same by turning on Time Zone Override.
You have to remember that when put events into a calendar that the time is relative to GMT and your location. Put an event that is a 5:00P EDT and fly to California the time if the event will change to 2:00P PDT. The event is still occurring at the time you specified as it is still 5:00P on the east coast. If you have an event scheduled in California and you enter the event into your calendar while you are in New York you need to put the time for the event as when the event will occur in New York. Then when you arrive in California the time of the event will adjust.
You can skip all this by turning on Time Zone Override and selecting the time zone you always want to use.
It sort of makes sense once you get used to it. I fly to Europe a lot from the east coast. When I enter my flight information the times are relative to the time in New York when the event will occur in Europe. I have to make some mental calculations to add six hours to the event time. My calendar now shows the true duration of the event, especially when flying.

HT2518 After using Migrate Assistant, I made several accounts for every attempt to migrate files from PC to Mac. How can I put all accounts together into one? How can I transfer the files from the other accounts to my primary account?

Okay, so I did the entire Migrate Assistant process to transfer all my files and what not to my MacBook. Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
How can I transfer my files from the other accounts to my primary account and delete the other accounts?

Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
If you had read carefully, Migration Assistant asks what you want to do in this event. That would have precluded the redundancy.
Part of the fundamental design of OS X is to separate user accounts so that one user can't interfere with another. It's not possible to directly merge an account with another, but you can copy whatever you need to the Shared folder - it is in your Users folder.
Log in to one account, prefereably a smaller one, and drag the files and folders into Shared. Log out, log into the account you want to be "primary" and drag the files from Shared into their appropriate locations. When you have copied everything you need delete the redundant account.
Do this for each of them.
Or, you can just run Migration Assistant again and follow the prompts that address the situation you described. It involves creating a secondary, temporary account from which you can administer the transfer. When it is complete you delete the temporary account(s).

Get all my music into one place for iTunes to 'see'

I have moved from PC to iMac and have 2TB of music on a Western Digital (WD) external drive. Most of them are in folders named by Artist etc. When I started using iTunes on my PC, it created a 'Music' folder on the WD drive. Some of my music is now there and some is still outside the 'Music' folder. I understand I cannot 'drag and drop' files to where I want them. Now, for some reason iTunes only references some of the music - even if it is inside the 'Music' folder. I am getting a bit fed up of wanting to play, say, Stevie Wonder and finding that I have to manually 'Add Stevie to Library' to get him into iTunes; whereas my girlfriend's a-Ha albums are already smugly sitting in the iTunes library (unplayed, I might add)
So I have music in the WD drive; I also have a sub-folder within the WD drive called 'Music', originallly created by iTunes on PC (this contains most of my music). However, iTunes is only 'seeing' the tracks that it feels like. I have the 'Keep iTunes media folder organized' box ticked; as is the box for 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library'. I think I could probably hit the 'Add to Libary' button and re-add the entire collection but I think that is time consuming to process and will result in lots of duplicates which I'll then have to delete.
Is there a (relatively) straightforward way I can re-initiate iTunes into find ALL of the music on my WD drive and get it to stick it where it wants to stick it (if you'll pardon the terminology)
Many thanks!

Hi Atticus,
The problem is not that iTunes doesn't "see" the music; the problem is that iTunes doesn't "look" for music until manually prompted to do so.
The best approach would be exactly what you suggest, which is to use the Add Folder to Library function, or the simpler (but perfectly equivalent) approach of dragging the folder into the open iTunes Music window.
iTunes has certain built-in safeguards to reduce the creation of duplicates, which are not perfect but will certainly help. Start with a few folders and you will see how it behaves, and then you can do all the rest.
whereas my girlfriend's a-Ha albums are already smugly sitting in the iTunes library
That must be quite eye-opening for people who think they only did one song. ;-)

I got my ipad 2 yesterday. I am trying to transfer photos as albums to ipad via itunes. I put the photos in a file with sub-files as I was told. The all tranfer but into one album. Is there a way to do what I am trying?

I am trying to tranfer photos from pc to ipad via itunes. I put the photos in a file and sub-files in order to tranfer them as albums: an main album with albums within. All the photos tranfered but into only one album. Is there a way to do this? Is there an app that would help. Also, I tranfered two albums into iphoto. I edited a photo in one album which created a new album of edits. I have removed the photos form the album but I am not able to delete the album themselves. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Question about moving all iTunes data from one computer to another.

I have a Windows XP. Now I have a windows 7. All of the songs from the XP are available on the new computer via a Z drive. But when I plug my iPod into the new computer it says that it is registered with a different library and asks me if I want to delete all the songs and apps and replace them from the ones on the new library. I don't want that to happen. And all of the apps on the old computer aren't available on the new one. How do I get the apps from one computer to another, and how do I sync my iPod on the new computer without erasing all high scores, app data, songs, and other information? And how do I get a song fro the new computer back to the old one?
Devin

This is the way I would normally recommend that you migrate your library from one computer to another.
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
If you have content on the new computer that you want to add to the library on the old one then copy that across via network/memory stick etc. before attempting to migrate the library again.
