Adding songs from a library to another that are on the same computer

i have 2 itunes libraries on one computer, is there a way to add songs from one library to another without burning a cd?i know you can add folders to libraries, is there a way to make a folder? thanks in advance

Create a shared folder that both accounts can access and copy the file there so the other account can get to it.
And before you ask how to create a shared folder, this is covered in your computers help files. Try it.

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)

Move an iPhoto Library to another user account on the same computer - File Permissions Error

I am having trouble moving an iPhoto Library from one user to another. I copied the library to a shared location, then on the same computer I switch to the other user only to find that there is a little red - in a circle on the folder. I am unable to do anything with the folder. I have checked the "Get Info" and permission to read and write is selected for all users. From everything I have read I should be able to just copy the Library to any location I would like and then open the Library on other computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Further information: I am running on OSX Lion (10.7.3) with iPhoto 09 (8.1.2). I have my iPhoto Library working in the account of an admin on the computer. Unfortunately I have redundant users on the computer and want to consolidate everything to the original user on the computer, or the user that set up the computer originally. This "original" administrator cannot be delete so I am moving everything from user "B" into the "original" administrator on the computer.

Because I had no idea what I was doing! :-P
I see now that I needed to move the library into the new user's Pictures folder, not import it.
My biggest problem was that I couldn't get rid of that dumb red circle. I think this happened because I just moved the user's Picture folder into the Shared folder before adjusting the permissions. Of course, I'm a bit like a kid trying to explain how the rocket got the moon. I could be mistaken...
Still, here was the work-around that worked for me:
- go into the user with the iPhoto library ("first") that I wanted to move to another user ("new")
- right click on the iPhoto library file, located in the in "first" user's Pictures folder
- unlock the folder and then change the permissions to allow everyone to "Read & Write"
- copy the iPhoto library into the "Shared" folder
- copy the iPhoto library into the "new" user's Picture folder
Because I didn't want two copies of that library, I then deleted it from the "first" user's Pictures folder. I assume iPhoto will just create a new one, which in my case will remain empty because that user doesn't use iPhoto.

How do I share itunes libraries that are on the same computer and associated with separate Apple IDs?

My wife and I have our own Apple IDs, iphones, and separate itunes libraries. I'm trying to figure out whether we can share our libraries with each others iphones? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and insight.

Hi there,
First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
What has happened ?
1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
Thanks in advance..

Can I replace my itunes library with another user's on the same computer?

I just inherited a MacBook that has the previous user's iTunes library. I'd like to use iTunes to backup my iPhone 5s without mixing my library with his. How can I completely remove the old iTunes library before I sync my phone to this laptop?

No. The contents of each library is tied to the Apple ID of the user.
You need to erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X, and set up your own new account. You will need either a retail Snow Leopard DVD or the installer discs that came with the computer.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

No. Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back. There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition. My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume). Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac. Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform. Now you have two computers on Windows platform. Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine. Hope this helps. Backup all your data before such operation. Good luck.

Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.

How do I consolidate purchases from two different ids that are on the same bank account, and eliminate the extra id without losing any purchases? I want my music to match on both ipad and computer.

Purchases are forever tied to the AppleID they were bought with. There is currently no way to consolidate AppleIDs. Sorry.

How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

Issues with processing messages on one receive port causes problems on all the receive ports that are on the same handler

Greetings,
An integrator installed biztalk in our environment to process the hl7 message flow between their source application(s) and several receiving applications. We've had problems with this set-up for a while now because some receiving applications sometimes have
problems processing the messages. Be it either because there's problems with the server that processes the messages of a certain port or because there's problems with the software/daemon/service that needs to process these messages.
The main problem with this, is that the receiving end of this isn't under our control nor under control of the integrator, but when one receive port isn't processing their messages for a while it causes a problem with all the receive ports that are on the
same handler. So other receive ports start noticing a slow-down of their incoming messages until after a while nothing gets through anymore.
What is the best practice to prevent these kind of problems? Should we just create a handler for every receive port? Because that seems a bit overkill.
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean exactly with this question?
"Can you provide some more detail like BizTalk the receiver? "
The adapters are mainly file and MLLP, the MLLP adapters are already seperated from the file adapters (a handler for MLLP and a handler for file).
The problem with all the receive ports is that when one receive port isn't processing its messages (usually caused by the software processing the messages) the other receive ports on the same handler receive their messages/files a lot slower. If for any
reason the problem isn't fixed soon, the other receive ports on the same handler actually stop receiving any messages at all.
Isolating the receive port that causes the problems like la Cour suggested can work, but next time it might be another port that experiences this issue. So we are looking for a way to make sure the whole message flow isn't hindered by one port (whichever
port) that can't process its messages. Or rather by one receiving software that can't process its messages.

So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

so my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.
