Does it work well to have multiple libraries?

I just got a new iMac and am trying to sort out the best way to deal with all the images. I've got a library on my powerbook, and one on a Mac Pro at work and a library from my old G5 iMac.
One thought is to have separate libraries, and from this point on, create a new library for each year.
Anyone have experience with this, and want to advise me?
thanks

Yes it's perfectly possible.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to pick between them. The same menu gives you the option to Create a new Library.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager
You can only access one Library at a time, however. That means quitting iPhoto to search or view a Library. It can be inconvenient.
As iPhoto is good for 250,000 images in a Library, why would you bother?
Regards
TD

OS 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.1 I no longer have access to the bookmark folders. There is just a search function that does not work well. Is there any way to get access back to my bookmark folders?

This site didn't say anything about one wrong ID, but only talks about changing the Apple ID. If it didn't work the first time why should it work now?

TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad. Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops. How do I share within the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer.

I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer. How can I share these libraries? I do not see the SHARED tab when i open iTunes. Where is this tab?

home sharing works between two or more computers on the same LAN.
if you're talking about libraries on multiple user accounts on the same computer, peruse how to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
if you mean you're working with multiple libraries on the same user account, check out PowerTunes or iTunes Library Manager.

My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

Ipad displays "ipad is disabled connect to itunes", I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then restoring but that does not work. I have also tried doing a hard reset of the ipad and that does not work either. Any ideas?

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Is anyone using NETGEAR Push2TV with a MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme and does it work well for you?

I am interested in buying a NETGEAR Push2TV display TV streamer to use with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme.
I saw on the Netgear site that a Intel Wireless Display/WIFI driver software is required for PC's; do we have this software installed already on our MacBook Pro's? Is any one using this box and does it work well for you, any problems or setup issues?

Does MyFaces works well in Sun Application Server

I want to use its upload component, but I found that the AS was not in the compatible list of MyFaces. Is there anyone who has tried MyFaces's upload component in the Sun Application Server? Does it works well? Please tell me. Thank you for your help.

Thanks.
I have added the myfaces-extension.jar to my project.
And followed the instructions, I set the form enctype="multipart/form-data".
And I have a single checkbox which binded to a bean's property, But after I have added the enctype attribute, the checkbox couldn't be checked. I clicked it and submit, it became unselected. What's the matter?
Thank you

IPhone and Hotmail - does it work well?

Im trying to talk my father into getting an iPhone, he travels a lot, runs an ebay store, and would be a prime candidate for the iPhones functionality. The only thing is he uses hotmail as his main email. I dont have a hotmail account, and dont want one, so I cant test it. Ive heard that hotmail doesnt play nice with the iPhone, and that you have to get to your hotmail account by browsing it in Safari on the iPhone. Is this true? Or does hotmail work well just like my gmail and Yahoo account do on my iPhone?
Thanks!

Hotmail can be accessed via Safari, but it's not ideal. Hotmail does not work with the iPhone Mail app unless you're subscribed to the paid Hotmail Plus (which allows POP access) - that's true in the US at least, although in the UK POP access to Hotmail is free.
However, there's a $10 3rd party app for Hotmail access that works quite well - mBox Mail.

I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.
