How can I combine two "My ITunes Folders"

I have been reading the discussion forums for weeks but have not found a solution to my problem and was hoping someone might be able to help. Here is my situation.
Background:
I have a large collection of CD’s that I wanted to import into itunes. Looking at the prospect of importing approx 4,000 cd’s I decided to “divide and conquer”. My wife took half and I took half and we each proceeded to import the cd’s onto our respective PC’s. Unfortunately when he “met in the middle” we didn’t realize it and we each proceeded to import cd’s that the other had already done (i.e. when comparing our music folders there are some duplicates).
Problem:
The real question I am trying to get answered is how I can combine the two separate itunes music folders into one. I would like to combine the two folders and then have one itunes music folder that I can import into itunes.
Any Suggestions? We used iTunes to organize the folders so they use the same “artist, album, song” hierarchy.

Try this -> syncOtunes

How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased. Apple provides no way to change this.
However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so. Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

How can I combine two databases, from two computers, to have one combined database of messages?

My old XP computer recently died and I had to build a new Windows 8.1 machine. While I was down I used a laptop as a temporary replacement. Now my new machine is running fine and receiving e-mail, but I now have two databases--one on the new machine and one on the laptop. Both are based on a recent backup, so they are lengthy--except that the new machine's database has a hole in it for the period I was on the laptop and the laptop's database also has gaps. How can I combine two databases into one that includes the messages from both machines?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply. My profile folder did not contain any MBOX files. I found them in another folder on another drive. The Import-Export tools simply transferred each folder to the current one as a sub-folder. Then I had to use ctrl-a to select everything in the folder and move them manually to the current folder (such as inbox). Then I could use the other utility you mentioned to remove the duplicates. This had to be done, one folder at a time, to combine each folder. It worked, but I had about thirty-five folders to deal with. The whole process took most of two days to complete. I wish there was a simple way to blend everything together in one action, but I could not find an add-on that would do this.

How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC? If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
Here's some details on how to do it:

HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

Hi,
Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one. Then your purchase will be billded to this new account. Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

How can I combine two iTunes accounts?

I had an iTunes account at home then created another at work. How can I combine the two?
When I received an iPad2 at work, I was required to have/initiate an account during the setup process. I couldn't remember what email address my personal iTunes account was under, so I set up another and began using it to load required and desired apps on my iPad. Openning my windows laptop for the first time in months, I now see that my personal iTunes account was under a really old email address (which is why I couldn't recall it at work).
The (old) personal account has many podcasts and personal music, yet the new iPad account is linked to my work apps. Is it possible to merge the two?

Hi vwalker,
I have the same issue, but it seems that Apple will not let you merge itunes accounts. Refer to this FAQ, specifically the text below:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
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.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
This is the original website: http://support.apple.com/kb/he37
Now I have to add that this is rather disappointing as I have some purchases on my old itunes account which I would like to merge into my current iTunes account (which was created due to an oversight). The oversight was, I thought my original iTunes was converted to @me.com one when I signed up for the 90 day trial to use mobileme services.

How can I combine two queries ? QoQ does not work

I have one query where I just count the total qty coming in per month, something like:
<cfquery name="qryIn" datasource="dbname">
select count(orderNO) as totalIN,month
where status = "IN"
group by month
</cfquery>
I then have a second query to count the total qty going out per month
<cfquery name="qryOut" datasource="dbname">
select count(orderNO) as totalOut,month
where status = "OUT"
group by month
</cfquery>
I then use QoQ to combine both:
<cfquery="qryTotal" dbtype="query">
select
totalIN,
totalOUT
from qryIN,qryOUT
where qryIN.month = qryOUT.month
</cfquery>
The problem I am running into is that QoQ does not allow LEFT JOIN, so that if the month is in one query but not the other, it will not pick up that record. And that is throwing off my counts.
How can I combine both queries, and bypass QoQ to get a qty IN and qty Out value, per month ? and, for example, if qty in exists for one month and qty Out does not exists for that month, then qty Out will be zero for that month.
I need this data to plot a chart.
Thanks for any help provided.

Do it in a single query to your database. Here is part of it.
select month
, sum(case when when status = "IN" then 1 else 0 end) total_in

How can I combine two iTunes media folders without losing media?

I have two media folders. One on an external drive that I used on an old PC before migrating to a new one, and my internal HDD on the new PC. My internal drive became nearly full so I had to start using my external drive and iTunes media folder again. So, right now iTunes looks to my internal drive for most of the media and my external drive for some of it. Now, I need to move all the media files back to the external drive and, hopefully, in one place. The primary challenge is that I don't know how to move the media files (and metadata) efficiently. I just don't know which folders have been affected and so a standard copy -> paste won't work because the PC will try to overwrite the folders and I have no idea which ones can be overwritten and which can't. Ugh...does this make sense? Thank you!!!

Hi there theskyisblue,
You can indeed switch between two different iTunes libraries, and this article outlines how:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:

How can I combine two XDOXSLT functions?

Hi all,
I would like to combine two xdoxslt functions:
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'minYear')?>
with
<?xdoxslt:get_day(‘2000-04-08’, $_XDOLOCALE)?>
instead of 2000-04-08 I wrote this:
<?xdoxslt:get_day(‘xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'minYear')’, $_XDOLOCALE)?>
but it doesn't work or the syntax is not accepted. Does someone know, how can I build that with XDOXSLT, please not XDOXF or something like that...
thanks in advance
Regards

<?xdoxslt:get_day(‘2000-04-08’, $_XDOLOCALE)?>
Set <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'minYear', ‘2000-04-08’)?>
Get <?xdoxslt:get_day(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'minYear'), $_XDOLOCALE)?>You can nest the xdoxslt functions.
just make sure, you don't make them as string , .. don't pass them in single or double quotes.

How can I combine two video files into one finished file?

I'm making a video of a guitar player. I'm using two cameras simultaneously. One gives the overall wide shot, and the other is zoomed in on his hands. Both cameras run at the same time. I would like to use the wide shot as the main video, and occasionally fade in clips from the zoomed in shot to show details of his playing. I can manually line up both files so they are synchronized. How do I cut a clip out of the main (wide) shot, leave the gap there, and insert a clip from the closeup? I'm putting the two video files on two of the video timelines and synchronizing them that way.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

The effect you are looking for is 'Picture in Picture'. If you want the gap to be there for the duration of the timeline add some 'black video' - from the Tasks Pane> New Item - on the video track above the main track. Resize / position it to where you wish it to be.
Then with your second clip (now on video track 3)
Do the same sizing / positioning for it.
split video and audio and delete or disable the audio.
Cut it where you want the various start/ends of the fade to be.
Delete, or just disable (right-click) the unnecessary segments.
Apply fade in / out to the remaining segments.
[EDIT]
Also check out the 'Presets' in Video Effects. There are a variety of PiP presets that may do what you need.

Challenging:How can I COMBINE two CWIMAQPoints Collection in one - URGENT

I have two CWIMAQPoints collections and I want to combine them in one CWIMAQPoints in order to pass it as an argument to another function.
In order to do this I would like to avoid using a loop in where I would add each item one-by-one.
I would appreciate any help.
Iraklis

There is definetly not an easy way to go about doing this in one step. This would require accessing with memory directly and using the windows API. Here is a good link to using pointers and memory allocation in VB. This should help you get started in the right direction. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/how_to_do_pointers_in_visual_basic.asp
Also if you would like to do it point by point, you can use this function.
Private Function Concatenate(pointsA As CWIMAQPoints, pointsB As CWIMAQPoints)
Dim counter As Integer
Dim counter2 As Integer
counter2 = pointsA.Count + 1
pointsA.Add pointsB.Count
For counter = 1 To pointsB.Count
pointsB(counter).CopyTo pointsA(counter2)
counter2 = counter2 + 1
Next counter
End Functi
on
