How do I consolidate all my prior catalogs? Starting with the 1st LR, worried about losing Master image.

I would like to consolidate all my prior catalogs and only deal with the current one in LR5? I do not want to lose any of my prior master images.

Carefully.
Backup all the catalogues first, so you can always get back to square one. Then open your main catalogue and use File > Import from Another Catalog to bring in the other catalogues.

How can I replace all music on my iPod with the music in my iTunes Library?

My iPod Touch (5th Generation) contains all the music that I purchased on iTunes with my previous iPod. I managed to transfer all music, including those from CDs, from my old iPod onto iTunes (newest version), so I figured that I would sync my iPod to retrieve them. However, every time I sync my iPod with my music library, I get duplicates of the purchases that my iPod contains, but not of those from CDs. When I go onto the "Music" section in my iPod, no items are shown. I have all the music that I want sorted out in my iTunes Library, so I want to replace only the music on my iPod with the music in the Library. How do I do this, or at least delete the music on my iPod (but not iTunes) so I can sync the entire music library later?

Correction: The music on my iPod doesn't show up in the "Music" section in "iPod" in iTunes.

How to arrange contacts in my Addess Book starting with the last name, re-doing them all at once, not individually. (I have 910 names in my Address Book).

This is a new computer. I see that my addresses have been arranged so that they read from the first name -- i.e. Jimmy Brown comes under 'J', not 'B'. I should like to put them all so that they read from the last name, first. I can do this individually but very much hope that there is a way that I can do ALL of them in ONE go? There are 910 addresses! Thank you very much, Frederica

First step is to set the address book to show last name and then the first.
Open the Address Book
Select View-Show Name As-Last, First
Then click on the column header labeled NAME to sort on that column.

HT1451 A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library?

A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album, each with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library? How did this happen?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

How do i erase all data on iphone 4s with no wifi working

how do i erase all data on an iphone 4s. the wifi stopped working after a software update. I have upgraded to an iphone 6 but need to clear everything on the old phone so i can trade it in. Is it possible to clear all data without wifi working?. thanks

Connect the iPhone to a computer running iTunes and use iTunes on that
computer to restore as a new iPhone which will wipe current content.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

How can I merge all of my iTunes libraries with my wife and kids so we can all share the music?

how can I merge all of my iTunes libraries with my wife and kids so we can all share the music?
There are 3 accounts that I want t o transfer all the music to

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts.
You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

Title says it all!
How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
I hope PP is smart enough to do this
Thanks in advance!
-- Tim

Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

I have just purchased a new ipad2 to replace my old ipad. How do i sync all the data in my apps I am worried about losing my data?

I have just purchased a new ipad2 to replace my old ipad. How do i sync all the data in my apps I am worried about losing my data?

iPad settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party party app along with app settings are included with the iPad's backup along with other data.
If you are syncing your iPad direct with iTunes on your computer via USB, the iPad's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPad or iOS device to iTunes that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new device. This is followed by a sync to transfer the same content from your computer that is on the old iPad to the new iPad such as music, movies, tv shows, 3rd party apps, photos, audio and print books, etc.

My computer was reimaged and iTunes was deleted, now when I try to sync my ipad it says it is synced with another library? How do I sync with the newly installed iTunes without losing all of my data on my ipad?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.

I assume that you have separate Profiles for the Release and Nightly installations.

Add each Firefox Profile to your Sync account as a '''new device'''. <br />
