Can you merge two libraries from 2 users on one mac to create 1 library?

I have an intel based Imac updated current. My wife and I have seperate user accounts both set with admin privelages.
The problem that I am having is that we both have seperate itunes libraries. I would like to merge both libraries into one, so we both can save to and access the same files in itunes when logged in as our individual users.
IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

The only way to merge tow iPhoto libraries is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • How can i join two libraries from two different users

    how can i join two libraries from two different users in the same computer?

    I should add that you can turn on SHARING where each user can see the other user's library and play stuff out of it. But they can not import those tracks to their own library or put them into their own playlists or burn CDs of the shared library.
    Also note, to do this you need to have the fast switching option enabled with the accounts so both can be running at the same time and both must have iTunes running at the same time.

  • Can you merge two apple ids

    I have two Apple id's. Not sure why. but one is for my iPod that was set up a long time ago and what I use for iTunes. The is for my iPhone. I want to use the itunes cloud storage so i can listen to my music on my iPhone but i'm guessing that won't work if you have two id's. Of couse they'd need to match. Can you merge two id's? I would like to simplify anyway and just have one.
    Thanks.

    No.

  • HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
    But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
    If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

  • Can you have two slides shows on the one interactive page?

    I'm just new at learning interactive pdfs in indesign so sorry if this is common knowledge. I know how to create a slide show on a page, but can you have two slide shows on the one page or more for that matter? (Ideally I need 3.) Each slide show has its own set of images and buttons.

    Just :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm0aeMUPZ4U
    But I'm happy to create them a different way if needed be.

    Yes, you can back up multiple devices but may need to purchase more iCloud space.

  • Can you have two apple id accounts on one computer??

    Hi all
    Can you have two seperate apple ID accounts on the one computer?? Imessaging wont work between two iphones if both iphones (husband & wife) use same apple ID account. any help appreciated

    Yes, you can. Apple IDs are really not meant to be shared.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Can you merge two pages documents into one in new pages?

    I have a report and a few separate documents which I'd like to merge into one document. I've read that you can do this from thumbnails and copy the thumbnail but I just can't seem to do that either with right click or cmd C. (and the advice seemed to be pre the new pages)  I want to merge them without making them into PDFs (still want them editable).
    I have all the latest updates and system.

    My solution won't work without Pages '09. It is no longer available from Apple, though for about $20 USD one can get it from Amazon, and once installed in Yosemite, it must be updated from an Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    If you had previously purchased Pages '09 from the OS X App Store, and it resides on an older Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, you should use the App Store to update it to v4.3. On those machines, the App Store will tell you that newer, incompatible Pages versions exist, and then it will offer to update your Pages '09 to the latest (4.3) version. Once this is done, you can simply copy that /Applications/Pages.app to a USB stick, create a new /Applications/iWork '09 folder on Yosemite, and transfer the Pages.app into that folder. If your Pages '09 was purchased on DVD, you will not be able to transfer it — and must be a new install on Yosemite, followed by the linked updater above. Takes all the joy out of working on a Mac.
    There is no assurance that Pages '09 will continue to work properly after forthcoming OS X updates. The ability to export via the Share menu and automatically open Apple Mail with the export as attachment feature is now broken.
    Pages v5.5.2, which is now available in the OS X App Store Updates — still does not support the solution you would like.

  • Can you merger two projects together in

    I am creating a slide show for my wedding and have three projects. can i merge all three into one?

    What's a Project?
    Do you mean a book? They're based on Photos in your Library already, so, just make an album from those photos?
    Do you mean Events? To merge them just drag one to the other.
    Do you mean Library? If so, you'll need the pid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager

  • But can you have two libraries open at the same time?

    I have a few libraries stored externally, that I don't acceess much as they have older images, and my main current library. I was wondering whether, with the new management scheme, it would recognize the external libraries as source images, linked to my main library, so that when I'm connected to the external drive, they appear in my main library, fully editable, but when the external is offline, they appear as linked offline previews.
    In other words, will the other libraries be suitable as "other" source folders?

    I don't know if it would quite work like that, but you could import all the projects from those other libraries, then use the new tools to move the master files back to those external drives. Then you would essentially have what you were looking for, which is one central library with some master images held offline in case you needed them later.
