How do i create a blank new library

Hello,  I follow the steps exactly for creating a blank, new library.
For about  10 seconds, the library is blank, then it copies every music file from my original lilbrary. 
What is going on, and how do I create that second library so that it is blank.
Thanks.

    just import the iPhoto
    Surely you meant "just import the photo"?  The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

  • I just purchased a one year old iMac.  How do I create a brand new admin account?

    I just purchased a one year old iMac.  How do I create a brand new admin account?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

    Hi can someone help me with this question?
    How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
    Cheers!
    VJ

    It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
    Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

  • How do I create a whole new iTunes on my iMac?

    I have an external  hard drive with my whole catalog of music that will be my iTunes library.  Wanting to start fresh I removed all the the iTunes media off my iMac, moved my iTunes to the trash and then went to the Apple website and downloaded and then installed a fresh iTunes onto my iMac.  My plan after that was to import my library on my external hard drive back into the newly installed iTunes.  To my surprise when I started iTunes the shell of my old library appeared.  If I select a song or artist I get the message "The song XX could not be used because the original file could not be found.."  Well duh, the music files no longer exist on my internal hardrive (at least until the new library is put back on).  My question is how to I get a completely fresh start with iTunes on my iMac.  Once I have a fresh iTunes (nothing residual from the previous) I will import my music library on the hard drive).  Help!  This can't be this hard!  Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Gerry

    What happened was you deleted the media folders from the iTunes folder, but left the index files in place - so iTunes had the information of what songs ought to be there but no media. As Steve says, delete the entire 'iTunes' folder in the 'Music' folder. You will then have an empty iTunes library and can drag your music from the external hard drive into iTunes.

  • Itunes lib on 1 pc how do I create copy of same library on other pc & share

    My children loaded up all of the cd/s and songs we have on my oldest daughter's laptop. She has gone to college. We do not want to repeat the process to recreate the library on one of our home computers. Is there a way to copy her library to another family computer or import from her ipod the music and then allow the other 4 ipods at home to share the new library? I hope there is a better way to do this than to have to read each cd back into the other home computer. If we can copy the library, that would be a Christmas vacation project.
    Thank you

  • Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

    Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library.  Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do I Create and Manage one library for several computers

    As our family has grown over the years, we have 4 kids and 6 macs and duplicate images scattered thought all the separate computers in their own libraries. Is there a way to create and manage one central library that all computers access? That way we can reduce the headaches when we need an image and have to go to each computer and search it's library. Not to mention when we need to jump on a computer and it doesn't happen to be the one we have our library on and need to download our pictures and they end up forever lost on a different computer.

    You cannot share a library over the network, since a library needs to be on a locally mounted volume, but you can put a shared library onto a "sneaker drive" and plug it into each of your mad in turn, see Apple's support document:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201517
    iPhoto does not support to merge libraries. But iPhoto Library Manager can.

  • How to sychronize app with a new library without loosing data?

    Hi,
    I had to re-install my SO and now I have to synchronize my ipod touch with a new itunes library, itunes tells me that if I do this i'll loose al apps and data that i have on my ipod, how can I transfer app and data from the ipod to my pc and synchronize without loosing apps and data?

    Wow, you Apple lemmings are great.  Yes, I do backup, brilliant of me, huh?  Thanks for the productive input.
    Are any of your really going to argue in favor of the requirement that you sync with one itunes account on one computer?  If so, please enlighten me as to why this is a great idea.  I love the iPad but hate that it is permanently tethered to itunes.  In fact, the thing will not work without an itunes account.  This is one reason I don't have an iphone and stick with android.  The android acts as its own hard drive.  It's very simple to save, backup and swap files with any computer.
    But back to the issue at hand, what if one doesn't backup?  Or if they did, the file was corrupt or the media they backed it to crashes?  The fact that the ipad cannot stand on its own is ridiculous.  By the way, I did restore my itunes folder but still get that notification that my ipad will be erased.  I'm sure though that I've added some apps since the last sync.  Are they going to be there when my ipad gets wiped out?  How does one know what has been saved?
    I love Apple products for its hardware but hate the software and all the control they have over it.  If I lose my apps, then so be it.  If there is any way around this, please let me know. 

  • How do I create a brand new .pat file?

    I am attempting to create a set of patterns to share online, and I cannot figure out how to create a truly custom .pat file. I fully understand how to define a pattern in photoshop, however, the only way I've ever known about accessing and permanently saving the patterns I've created is by going to a layer I want to add a pattern too, adding a layer style, and then when I go to patterns overlay in the layer style dialog box, the new pattern I've created is in the pattern picker at the end of the list of swatches of whatever .pat file I already have open for that layer.
    What I want to do is create a set of patterns in one .pat file that contains only the patterns I want. I know it's possible since I have downloaded .pat files like this many times before. Can anyone help me?

  • How Do I create & run a new servlet in the Weblogic 8.1 Workshop?

    Using the Workshop environment I added a new Empty Application, then a new Web Project,MyServletPrj,then I added a new Java Class and created a famous HelloWorldServlet class.
    Next I built application, started a WebLogic Server and depolyed application to the server.
    I checked through the Administrative console that HelloWorldServlet was deployed as a part of my project.
    How can I run my servlet?
    I tried to run it from the MS Explorer browser
    http://localhost:7001/MyServletPrj/servlet/HelloWorldServlet
    It doesn't work.
    What is the problem?
    Thanks,
    Irina

    hi katzirina ,
    To create or import the Servlet in workshop and to run it, we need to follow the
    steps in workshop as given below.
    1)Create the empty application
    2)Create the webproject under the application
    3)Right click on the webproject and choose the new -> java Class to write the
    servlet in IDE Or choose import option and import the servlet file
    4)Start the weblogic server
    5)Go to tools menu->choose weblogic server->choose weblogic builder
    6) In weblogic builder go to file menu->open your webproject
    then it shows servlet ,filter,security Constriant and tag libraries folders in a builder at left side
    7)Click on the servlet folder and click on the add button at right pane of the builder then you will give servlet name , servlet class name and url pattern.
    After giving the Urlpattern click on the add button which is right to the urlpatern text field.
    8)Click on ok button
    9)click on the save button
    then you will see the servlet mapping elements in web.xml file in workshop IDE what we given in builder.
    10)Exit from the weblogic builder
    11)Right click on the application and clean the application
    12)Build the application
    then it compiles the Servlets files automatically.
    You can see the those class files in .workshop folder which is located under applicaton folder.
    Note :go to the applicaton where it is stored.you should see these files manually because workshop ide shows the navigation from the webproject only. you can't see these files from workshop.
    13)Go to tools menu->weblogic server->weblogic console and test the application using the weblogic console.
    or Directly opent he internet explorer send a request for particular servlet by giving urlpattern.
