Getting two different libraries into my new iphoto 11

Hi
I just got a new MBA today (Merry Xmas!!). We have two other macs, and I was wondering if I can transfer both iPhoto libraries (different) into the new mac. I know you can copy the iPhoto library from one mac to another, and all the library will appear in the iPhoto of the computer where it was copied. But here, I have two different iPhoto libraries, and I hope there is a way to unify them into my new MBA.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Laurent

As Niel said (I read more about that on the help of iPhoto now), just copy the folder 'iPhoto Library' (in the 'Pictures' folder) of your wife MB, and paste it into the 'Pictures' folder of your MBP, certainly with a different name.
Once it's copied, then hold the Control button while starting iPhoto: there, it's supposed to ask you which library to connect to, and you just select the one you want.
Sounds easy, haven't tried yet.

  • How do I combine two different libraries into one?

    I have three devices, one iphone and two ipods. How can I combine all three libraries into one single library. Is this possible?

    Choose the library connected to the iPhone, import the media content from the other one/two libraries. DeDupe.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help with the last bit. See this  thread for background.

  • Can I have two different libraries for iTunes?

    I would like to have two different libraries for iTunes. How can I do it?
    Regards.

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

  • My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked.  I created a new gmail account.  How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

    My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address.  I had to quit using this address  as it got hacked.  How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address?  In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address,  I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.'   Advice please!

    Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

  • Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup.  But SIRI is gone and god knows what else??  Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • Why do I get two different results from the same coefficients?

    I am getting two different results from the Polynomial Evaluation function.
    For the first one, I am getting the coefficients from a Polynomial Fit function.  I feed the coefficients from the Fit function into the Poly Eval function and get the correct result of 12.8582 when I evaluate 49940.
    For the second one, I create constant array of the SAME values that were returned from the Polynomial Fit function (i typed them in).  However, I am getting an incorrect result of -120.7913 when I feed the constant array into the Poly Eval function when I evauate 49940.
    How can this happen when I am using the same array values?
    Attached is an image of what I am explaining.
    Solved!

    Hi Altran,
    are you sure about using the "same" coefficients?
    Did you compare them? Did you (atleast) set the display properties to 17 significant digits?
    Please attach a VI instead of a picture...

  • Import full events into a new iPhoto library

    I want to divide my iPhoto library into two: one personal, one work.  In creating the new iPhoto library, I exported the events I wanted and imported them into the new library.  Much to my surprise, they were all imported into one event.  I did split the events by the dates but would prefer not to go through and have to reorganize and rename each event.  I have 4,000+ photos here so I want to make this easy.
    Is it possible to import multiple, separate events, with their current names into my new iPhoto library?

    Use iPhoto Library Manager

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • IPod Touch stuck in restore. I keep getting two different error messages.

    Forgive me if you've seen this question before and if it's already been answered.
    I recently purchased an iPod Touch. It turns on but, you can barely see it. The Apple logo appears and then it goes straight to the restore screen. I updated my iTunes and everything and when I go to restore and update my Touch, I get two different error messages. The first one I get states "Error Message (21)." Now, when I go to unplug the USB cord and plug it back into my Touch, I hold down the Home Key. When I go back into iTunes, it starts the update, it now goes into "Preparing to restore". That's when I get another error message with the numbers "2009".
    I went to the Support page and tried the troubleshooting steps but, none have been successful.
    Has anyone had this problem? And if so, what was the solution?
    Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    **Also, I never used a jailbreak. The only reason why I mention this is because no matter how high or low I search the net...every one comes up with a "jailbreak" solution. I don't even know how to go about doing that and I'm not gonna even trust myself trying either.

    Make sure the iPod is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the Mac, using the cable that came with it. Also try disconnecting all other USB devices, other than the keyboard and mouse.
    Try restoring the iPod touch on another computer.
    If the iPod does not restore from another computer, request repair online, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • I have two Ipods andwant t oset up two Itune accounts with two different libraries

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • I am getting two different versions of the App Store in iOS 6.

    I am getting two different versions of the App Store in iOS 6.  One is the new one and sometimes when I open it it goes to the old one and says cannot connect to the App Store.

    I am having the same problem, but I think I might know what's causing it.  I just updated my girlfriend's iPhone 4S (same phone as mine) to iOS 6 and was surprised to find that her app store is working just fine.  When I opened hers, however, I did notice that the "Categories" and "Top 25" buttons are totally different; and those happen to be the two buttons that are not working for me.  Mine shows the same that yours does, while hers has the "Genius" and "Charts" buttons in the place of the two that are not functioning for me.  I believe these old buttons are no longer active and therefor are bombing out when attempting to access them.
    Now I said I think I may understand the problem, but unfortunately I have no idea what the solution may be.  Hopefully this tread doesn't fade away and our problem gets addressed.

  • Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

    Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

    I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

  • How can I drag multiple photos into a new iPhoto library from search box?

    I lost but found my list of photos that were in my iPhoto library. I am unable to drag more than one photo at a time from the search box into the new iPhoto library box. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to drag one at a time? (That would take hours.) Please help if you can!
    Thanks,
    Laure

    Roam,
    Thanks again. I know how to highlight and drag multiple photos or a list of files, but the only place I found my list was by going to Finder>File>Find then a dialogue box comes up. In the dialogue box I put in iPhoto and checked that then put in "kind" "is" "image" and "size" "is greater than" "30" KB. When I click search, the entire list from my library comes up but that is when I am unable to drag more than one file at a time. The box that comes up when I search isn't (at least I don't think it is) a "folder" as such. Any suggesttions?

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.
