How do I Combine libraries from two different Macs?

I have an extensive iPhoto library on old G4. I also have a small library on MacBook Pro with iPhone pics and such. I'm trying to move away from the G4 and only use the MacBook. I've not been able to figure out a way to simply combine the old library into the new library.
I've copied the iPhoto Library folder over to MacBook. Any easy way to do this? I don't want to give up all the organization from old library.
TIA

  • Merging two iPhoto Libraries from two different MACs

    Can I blend together two iPhoto libraries? I have a library on another MAC and would love to move it to my laptop merging with the existing iPhoto. How I can do that? I just afraid to overwrite the original library.

    You need iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge iPhoto libraries
    I recommend merging both libraries into a new library so if some problem occurs you do not mess up either original library - this of course requires adequate disk space for all three libraries

  • 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.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • Syncing two iphoto libraries on two different macs

    Hey
    Can't seem to find an answer to this one so here goes. I am trying to sync my iphoto libraries that I have on two different macs of mine. One a mac pro and one a macbook. Both are running 10.5.7 and iphoto 8 with all the updates. I have sharing on enabled on both macs and in iphoto. I can do a manual drag and drop but I have 1000's of photos and that would take way to long to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Use iPhoto Library Manager to move Events/Albums/Pics plus associated metadata between Libraries.

  • Is it possible to edit my website  with web '08 from two different Macs?

    Is it possible to work on iWeb on two different MACS?
    I've attempted to move my domain.Site folder from my laptop and place it on my Power PC in the iWeb folder, but I continue to receive a familiar error message can't read the Domain.Site.
    Does anyone have any answers?
    Both are running iweb 08'

    You could make the file available for download via your public folder and when one user updates it they could change the title to include the date of editing and upload it back to the Public folder and delete the original file. . To do that you'd want to archive (zip) the file (control-click on the file and select "Make archive of file xxxx" so it would upload without problems. Not as convenient but doable. You would just have to make sure to identify the date of editing so there would be no problem.

  • How do I combine two libraries from two different computers?

    My wife and I have two libraries on two windows computers. She wants to add my songs to her library. I do not wish to add her songs to mine. Can we do this? How is it done?
    All songs on my iPod have been purchased from iTunes. Her library is half purchased from iTunes, using the same iTunes account, and half from CDs that she's loaded.
    OK, rookie question. But we're headed on vacation and I want my iPod back for the trip.
    Thx!

    You can transfer the iTunes songs from your iPod to her computer, just remember two things.
    1) Set your iPod to manual management before connecting to another computer so you don't accidentally erase it. You can change it back to auto-syncing on your own computer when you are finished:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    2) Authorise your wife's computer to play songs from your iTunes Store account:
    About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • How can I combine post to two different tables with one form?

    I am trying to create a "phantom" record in a table to be used later in a report. How can I create a form and properly $_POST to two different tables? Thanks for any suggestions!

    In POST processing, just do the insert to one table, followed by the insert to the second table. I don't understand where you are getting stuck.
    Sometimes when we do an insert, we need the auto-generated ID from the newly created record as a "foreign key" for the record created in the second insert. MySQL has a nifty solution for that. The specific code depends on whether you are using the mysql, mysqli or PDO database connection.

  • How can I select events from two different channels?

    Hi everybody, I have another question! :)
    When processing events in config.xml, using a CQL sentence, Eclipse compiler doesn't allow me to select more than one event.
    I paste here my app.context.xml and my config.xml:
    app.context.xml:
    <wlevs:event-type-repository>
    <wlevs:event-type type-name="HorseEvent">
    <wlevs:class>com.bea.wlevs.event.example.sevenhorses.HorseEvent</wlevs:class>

    And here you are the two config.xml, I have tried two different ones and none of them runs.
    The first one is:

            ]]>
    </query>
    </rules>
    </processor>
    </n1:config>
    As you can see, I use here TWO CQL sentences from the two channels that are defined in app.context.xml.
    The other one is:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <n1:config xmlns:n1="http://www.bea.com/ns/wlevs/config/application">

            ]]>
    </query>
    </rules>
    </processor>
    </n1:config>
    I use here only ONE CQL sentence in which I try to get events from the two channels that are defined.
    None of them works.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you!

  • Home Sharing from two different Macs to a Media Center

    I am using an old G5 iMac as a Media Center in my basement. I have Home Sharing setup on my daughter's Macbook so that when she buys new music, movies or TV shows they automatically transfer to the Media Center iTunes Library. Is it possible to get my iMac iTunes to do the same thing at the same time? It seems like the Media Center will only Home Share with my daughter's Library and will not let me Home Share my Library. Can anyone tell if it it's possible to have two different accounts / libraries Home Sharing to a central iTunes Library?

    The simplest way is for you to select the entire listing in iTunes and drag all the songs out to a folder. This will copy them, not remove them from iTunes. Do the same on the other iTunes.
    Transfer the folder over to the new Mac, over a network, or burn them to a DVD.
    Now duplicate one of the folders (for safety reasons before proceeding).
    Open this duplicate folder. Open the other folder. Select all the tracks in this other folder and drag them to the new folder: When asked if you want to overwrite files of the same name choose 'Skip' and check 'Apply to all'.
    This will then move all files over except where there is already a file with that song title. If you have recordings of the same song by more than one artist you will have to sort that out manually.
    This done, open iTunes on the new computer, select all the files in the merged folder and drag them to the Music list.
