How do I combine separate user libraries into one public library

In Windows Vista, most of the iTunes files (musing & movies) are in the public folder. But, my kids have files in their separate user folders.
My question is how do I copy the files from the separate user folders to the public folder so that any of them can load any of the files into their iPods?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Drag one account's home folder from the Users folder to the other account's desktop, provide your administrator password, and then move your files from it.

  • 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.

  • How do I combine two user accounts into one account?

    When we originally set-up our iMac, I set-up two accounts for my wife and I. Since then it has been a royal pain with music and applications sharing. How do I merge the two accounts into one?

    I found an answer to this by searching on "merging two accounts" rather than "combining two accounts." BTW, it's a little mini-nightmare if you only use "combine" on both Google and Apple support. At least this post might help others avoid the same fate.
    Here's where to go to find the answer: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5629676#5629676

  • How can I combine separate pdf documents into one document with several pages

    I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.

    Open all the documents. Choose View > Contact Sheet. All the pages will be shown as thumbnails, separated by document. Select the pages you want in the final document and drag them into the desired order, in one document space.

  • How do you Combine separate LMS Tutorials into one Long

    I have created a 55 minute tutorial with audio. It is 6
    captivate projects (~400 slides). I have created a stand alone
    package so the user can view the entirety and jump to each chapter
    using the menu in the skin. I have published the same taking out
    the menu in the skin as separate LMS tutorials. Up to now everyone
    has been happy to add each project as a chapter to their LMS
    system. One of my clients wants the class to be one long tutorial
    instead of the separate modules, much like the standalone version,
    but does not want to install that on each users machine. How do you
    do that? Given the limits of the software, I cannot just make it,
    one Captivate project. I tried linking the project and having all
    the files in one directory but that doesn't work. There must some
    sort of way to change the html or xml needed to run in the LMS, but
    I'm not sure where to begin.

    Short of some very fancy Javascript hacking, you cannot make
    separate projects appear as one long continuous project to an LMS.
    Even with some Javascript modifications, the fundamental
    reporting process is not designed to work that way so there's no
    guarantee you'll ever get it to work.
    The idea would be to link one project to the next using daisy
    chaining while suppressing the API.LMSFinish("") command (or
    whatever one tells the LMS that the user reached the end of the
    content) until the end of the last project is reached. It gets much
    more complicated if you're also wanting to track scores of
    individual interactions in each file.
    If you've got some Javascript skills, or just want to try,
    you can edit the scorm_support.js file in:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
    3\Templates\Publish\SCORM_supportxxxx
    where xxxx is the version of SCORM you're publishing to.
    If you're using another form of reporting, then the various
    other publishing templates can be found one level up in the Publish
    folder.
    The hard part will be figuring out which command Captivate is
    sending to the LMS (via the communication functions in
    scorm_support.js) that tells the LMS the user has completed the
    content. You then need to add logic that only passes on that
    command if it's coming from the last file.
    Do be sure to make a backup before editing any of the default
    files. By making changes in the Captivate install directory, you're
    changing how all files get published. You want to be able to go
    back to the default behavior once your special functionality is
    either working correctly or you decide it can't be done.
    Best of luck,
    John

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • How do I combine all my calendars into one and delete the others?

    I have a work computer, a home desktop, and Apple air laptop and an 1phone 4s.
    I use Outlook calendar for all my appointments and only need one calendar.
    When I get notifications of my upcoming events on the Oulook page and on my iphone, I get multiple notifications, sometimes as many as 6 times.
    How can I combine all my calendars into one and delete the others?

    Your old account is the one you migrated, but it has been renamed because the new account had the same name. "Fixing" this is a bit complicated. It is possible to transfer data from one account to the other. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
    A cleaner solution is to do this:
    Create a temporary new admin user account with a completely different username.
    Log into this new account.
    Delete the new account you created before migrating.
    Delete the old account you migrated that has the changed name.
    Re-migrate your old account from the Mini.
    Log into the newly migrated account and delete the temporary account.
    And, the simplest solution is to use the migrated account as-is and delete the account you originally made on the new computer.

    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.

  • Merging of multiple aperture libraries into one master library

    Over the years, due to limited disk space on my Mac, I ended up having now 3 aperture libraries in 3 separate external hard drive, totaling between he 3 libraries over 2TB of photo storage. I just purchased an additional 4TB external drive (my 4th external hard drive from Lacie) to put ALL my separate Aperture libraries into ONE (1) master Aperture library. I would like to know if anyone could help me with a set of step by step instructions to MERGE my 3 separate Aperture libraries into ONE (1) MASTER library on my newly purchased 4TB external drive. I've looked online and found several articles dealing with merging libraries from multiple computers. I tried them all and was NOT able to do what I would like to do. PLEASE, if any of you have done what I would love to do or knows how to do it, I would appreciate your help. A step by step instructions regarding how to do it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! Robert

    Thanks Kieby,
    This is what I did: 1.) File/Swith to Library/Other/New  To create a new Aperture library which I called MasterAperture Library. The new library was created on my new 4TB external driver.
    2.) I then CLOSED Aperture and re-opened it using my default Aperture library located on my Picture folder (Aperture Library).
    3.) I did: File/Export/Project as new Library. I chose my external hard drive with the filename: MAsterAperture Library, EXPORT.
    The first time I did that nothing happened, I still had an empty MasterAperture Library files without any pictures.
    Then I did the same thing thing, except this time, I high lighted my first Projects and went down to my items on my albums and then CTL-H so everthing would be high lighted (ALl my projects and all my albums). Then I did step 3 to the MasterAperture Library and I was able to get the MasterAperture Library as an image copy of the content of the Aperture Library located on my Pictures folder.
    Then another problem came up, when I tried to replicateduplicate the same steps outlined above to merge my other 2 remaining libraries, I could NOT do so because the process, at that time, told me that the file MasterAperture Library already exists and if I were to continue, the content of MasterAperture Library will be replaced. Of course this is not wantt. I would like to be able to MERGE the contents of the 2 or 3 remaining libraries that I have currently located in different external drive/locations into the file MasterAperture Library located on my 4TB external drive, and do so, if possible, without too many duplications (if possible, because if I have to remove duplicated projects/albums/photos later, I am willing to do so)!. By the way, I've read the Aperture userguide more than once and have tried the approaches suggested in the guide without succes yet. Thanks again for your kind help. Regards, Bob

  • How can I combine my SSD + HDD into ONE SSD?

    Hey everyone! I hope this isnt two technical but ill give it a whirl.
    I currently have a Macbook Pro 15" with a HDD in the Opitcal Drive (1TB) and a 120GB OWC SSD in the Hard Drive Bay.
    This created two different time machines on my Airport Time Capsule (2TB). One was for my SSD the other was my Macintosh HD (Old HDD).
    I now plan on selling this computer for the new Retina hopefully coming out in July. But that will only have 768GB Flash SSD (Im upgrading to this).
    How can I combine my two time machines to fit on one drive again and have my apps still transfer properly and also where all my HDD folders were to be in the same places.
    Thanks!

    If you are just interested in having your data transferred to the new system then you can use the setup assistant on the new Mac to do this, which should copy all of your data and settings from to the boot drive. If the secondary drive on your current Mac is just data storage (ie, not a place where you store your home folder or applications separate from the boot drive), then after using the setup assistant you can manually copy the backed up files from it to any desired location on your new system's drive.
    After this, you can inherit the Time Machine backup from the prior system, which will use the one for the boot drive only (Macintosh HD) or create a fresh backup, and the copied data from the data drive backup should now be included in this new backup database.
    There is no way to cleanly combine the backups of two separate drives directly into one and have it continue to work as the main backup for the drive.
