Archiving part of my whole library!

I want to archive off only part of my iPhoto library and leave part of it on my machine.
What is the best procedure for doing this?
(I want to eliminate a couple of earlier years worth...)
I know how to burn a searchable iPhoto disc.
Im just afraid tio delete the archived photos from my system once I have copied them to disc for fear that iPhoto will become "broken."

To create a working back-up library based in years:
hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Use the dialogue to create a new library in whatever location you like. Call the first one, say, 1996.
Now, quit iPhoto and hold down the option key and launch iPhoto, this time choose your main library.
Create a smart album: Date is Before 1/01/97
Download iPhoto Library Manager from http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html. It's a $20 shareware, but well worth the cost. Use it to move the 1996 photos from your main library to the 1996 one. iPLM is great because it moves metadata along with your pics, such as keywords, ratings and comments.
If you want to remove the 1996 pics from your main library, then select them all and go option (or alt) - delete.
This will give you an iPhoto Library for 1996, with a main library that can either include or not the archived pics. You can then burn the 1996 library to a DVD using the Share ->Burn command. This means that when you put a DVD into your machine it will turn up in iPhoto and you'll be able to drag your pics back to the Main library.
Repeat as necessary.

Archiving part of my music library

Hi all,
My music is filling up my hard drive and I need to archive some of it (all my "holiday" music for instance). How do I do that? I want to move it off my MacBook Pro and onto my external drive.
Thanks for any information.

Easiest way and a great way to back up your entire library, is if the external is larger enough, simply grab the iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder inside it) and drag and drop then entire folder to the external drive and make a full copy.
Once it finishes copying then you can delete stuff out of the internal library to free up space.

HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.

For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

HT1351 Only want to see sync songs/artists/albums on iPod touch (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it?

I only want to see on iPod touch songs/artists/albums manually selected for sync (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it? Not sync titles appear in grey colour...

So if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to sync only certain songs, artists, and albums correct? If so you can configure this set up from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes as described in the Syncing Automatically section in the Apple support document you linked in at the top of the page. Note that you cannot select only certain songs, but you can set it up to sync selected Artists, Genres, and Albums.
If the tab and its configurations are grayed out, it is likely because your iPod is set up for manual management, meaning the manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

I am getting the following error message when i download CS6 Design Standard 'The message says" the file archive part of Adobe CS6 Design Standard is missing. you need all parts in the same folder in order to extract adobe CS6 Design Standard. Please down

i am trying to download CS6 design standard. but it wont work. the second part of the download comes up with the following message "The message says" the file archive part of Adobe CS6 Design Standard is missing. you need all parts in the same folder in order to extract adobe CS6 Design Standard.

Do as it says: Put your downloaded 7z file and the *.exe in a proper folder, not just dump it onto your desktop or whatever.

I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorising my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorizing my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

Likely, because you are now using a different Apple ID and iTunes account. Return to using your old Apple ID and authorize only after you have de-authorized your old computer.
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

File archive part missing

I am trying to install RoboHelp 11 on my work laptop, and I keep getting the following error message: "The file archive part of Adobe RoboHelp 11 is missing. You need all the parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe RoboHelp 11. Please download all parts."
I am not sure what files they are talking about. The IT department bought RoboHelp for me and put it on my network drive. The only thing there was an .exe file. I tried copying that to my desktop and installing, but I keep getting that error message. Is there somewhere on the Adobe site where I can download the missing files? Or do I need to talk to the IT department to get them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

for windows users there is normally an exe and a 7z file. the exe is the extractor and the 7z is the archive.
if you don't have both, download here, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=robohelp

Hi,
Have you tried downloading Photoshop Elements 13 from here?

There is only one file to download - which one depends on your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
These are the trial versions but will convert to the full version when you supply your serial number.

How do I make itunes 11 go back to playing my whole library after search

I just upgraded to iTunes 11. I'll search an artist just to find a song more quickly and double click on a song to play it. Then, I'll press x in the search box so it displays my library again, and in previous versions of iTunes after the song ended it would go back to shuffling through my whole library. In iTunes 11, however, it only plays songs by that artist unless I select another song directly from the library. Is there a setting I can change to make it shuffle my library after I've selected a song?

I backed up my iPhoto library to my EHD then deleted some photo in iPhoto on my iMac to make more HD space. I want to back up iPhoto again to my EHD again but do not want it to overwrite the whole library. How can I make sure it backs up the new photos

Ok so how can i just back up the newer photos to my iPhoto library on my EHD? If it overwrites the backed up library it will delete the older photos that I backed up and then deleted from my iMac HD.

Do you want to back up only your photos and not your current library? Then you will not get a backup of your albums, books, calendars, ..
A lot ofyour organizational work will not be backed up, if you only save the newer photos.
To find the new photos create a smart album:
From Photo's main menu bar: File > New > Smart album
and add a rule: Date is after .... ; enter the date of your last backup.
Then export the photos from this album to a folder on your backup drive.
File > Export > Original
But it would be much better simply to copy the iPhoto library to the external drive, after renaming the older library, so that it will not be overwritten.
Regards
Léonie
You might consider to let TimeMachine do the work and keep track of changed versions.
Use Time Machine to backup the library regularly, so you always can restore a current version aand can find older photos that have been deleted, and make occisiona snapshots of the whole library on a second backup drive.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and am trying to upgrade to 13 - getting error message that "file archive part" of Adobe 13 is missing. When I try to download installers for older products it only goes back to v7, not v5 what to do next?

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.
