How to Import One Library (contents) to a New Library ?

I have my Aperture Library on Computer 1 ( the library is backed up via Vault on my
External HD )( note: computer 1 is going back to the store )
I want Computer #2 to use the Library thats on the External HD ( the same library from computer 1 )
I know that once I install Aperture on Computer 2 it will ask me "where do I want to put the library" ... I know that I want my library on Computer 2's main hard drive, but I want to use all of my projects that is on the library from my external HD.
Can you either tell me how to do this or point me in the right direction in the users manual ? Thank you for your help.
David

I think I know what to do, but just to confirm ...
- I will copy the Aperture Library from Comp 1 to my external hd
- Then I can copy the Aperture Lib. from the external hd to main hard drive on Computer 2.
- Install Aperture on Comp 2 & when asked "what location do I want the library" ... I will just point to the aperture library that I just copied from my external hd to the main hd
How's that sound ?
( note : all files are managed in the library )

How to Import one slideshow from Photoshop Elements 5 into 8?

Hi!
Please advise on how to import one slideshow created in Photoshop Elements 5 in to Photoshop Elements 8.
The customer is trying to do the same, but all he is getting is text captions, not the images.
I tried doing the same on my station, but could not re-create the problem.
Please advise. Any link would be highly appreciable.
Thanks...

Hi! Thanx for your response.
It is not clear that he has imported it as wmv or pdf, but the slideshow has to be imported in such a manner that it can still be edited (Captions, effects etc.)
Creating a wmv or pdf will not allow the same.
Any Ideas?

How do I sync my Ipod to a new library after my computer has crashed?

How do I sync my Ipod to a new library after my computer has crashed?

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
Sync transfer is one way, matching the device content to the content on the computer, except purchased content as mentioned above. For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing):
- Senuti - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
- Phoneview - http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
- MusicRescue - http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/products/musicrescue/ - Mac & Windows
- Sharepod (free) - http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2 - Windows

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
In general do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library?

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library? I wan to create a new aperture library at an exernal drive so that I can reduce the size of the current library in the internal drive. Thank you for letting me know.

"File➞Export➞ ... as new Library " will create a new Library from the selection.
The preferred method for making the Library on your system drive smaller is to change some of the Image's Originals from Managed (= stored inside the Library) to Referenced (= stored outside the Library, often on external drives). There are so many advantages to this that it can be recommended without question. Unless you have specific reasons for splitting your Library into two Libraries (security concerns are one of the very few reasons), you should keep your Library on your system drive with some Image's Originals Managed, and the rest Referenced to an external drive.
Read up about these options in the User Manual (scroll down).

HT1589 what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

Sophie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

I recently had to switch with my sister from Mac to PC, and I have all my songs, apps, movies,etc. on my iTunes on my mac. How do I transfer the contents of the other library to my new computer?

I really want to transfer all my content of my iTunes library like apps for my iPhone and also music to my new library on my new PC computer. Is there any way that I can do this?

Copy the entire iTunes Media folder in My Documents>My Music>iTunes and put it in the same location on your new computer. Then open iTunes and go to File>Add to library, and select all the stuff there that you want to add to your iTunes.

How to import one album on iPhone to macbook air

I have an iPhone 4s and have multiple albums, I want to import one album to my macbook air. Any help?

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The exception is iTunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You would have to transfer all purchases.
You can just redownload that album from iTunes:

How to import mailboxes from Time Machine to new Mac

I had Time Machine backing up our old G5. We got a Mac Pro back in November and I never was able to import the mail from the G5 to the Mac Pro so I left it alone and just kept using mail on the old G5. Well, the G5 took a dump last monday. I currently have the Time Machine backup for that computer connected to our Mac Pro (but not using it as backup yet). So, the mail from the G5 should be on the Time Machine backup right? If so, can I import it into Mail on the Mac Pro?
I also pulled one of the hard drives from the G5 and have it in the Mac Pro in the 2nd bay just to make sure that HD wasn't dead. It works fine and I tried importing the .mbox files from that drive but it appears that all the mail on that particular drive are from like 2006. So, again, I need to find out how to import mail from the Time Machine drive. Any thoughts?
10.7.4
Mail 5.2

Back up what data? Mail data? I don't have any yet. I haven't used Apple Mail on this Mac Pro yet.
Edit: Launching Mail and holding Option right afterwards does nothing. Holding down option and then launching Mail does nothing.
Oooooh.... launching time machine while holding down option......
Edit again.... I don't have a Time Machine menu because that disk is not currently set up as time machine for the Mac Pro yet. I don't want to use it as a backup for this computer yet. I just want to be able to pull some of the backed up contents from it until I'm set.

How can I copy keyword list to a new library

I'm a keyword fanatic. Keywords are my most favorite feature of the product. It's the reason I use iPhoto in the first place. I recently created a new iPhoto v6 library and can see that the keyword list did not get migrated. Is there a way to do this? Can I export and import the keyword list? Thanks.

gtigan
Keywords are kept in the main database file and when you create a new library, you create a new database.
The only way I can think of to what you want is to select a single pic and give it ALL the keywords, then use iPhoto Library Manager to move that pic from the old library to the new one. iplm is the only way to move pics and metadata between libraries while using v6. (hmm, another reason to upgrade.)
And, as I mentioned in my other post, if you're a "keyword fanatic" then check out Keyword Manager

How to clear the table contents for the new selection values?

Hi,
Im developing some very basic web dynpro applications.I have created one application to demonstrate use of SERVICE CALL.Now in one of the COntext Nodes,I have one attributes as TABLE.I have 2 input fields and when i enter any sel critteria in these 2 fields,the table is populated accordingly.Now when i change the value in the input fields,the new output gets appended in the output TABLE.How do I clear the contents of the OUTPUT table attribute in the method?
Can someone tell me the common methods used with context nodes like REFRESHING,CLEARING etc?How do I know which methods to call for what action of the nodes ...like for binding internal table to any context node we use the method BIND_TABLE...
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
BR,
SRM tech.

Hi,
To clear the contents of the node, use invalidate method.
data: l_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
l_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'NODENAME' ).
l_node->invalidate( ). " all the data in the node will be cleared
To clear a single attribute you can use set_attribute_null.
Regards,
Radhika.

Itunes will not create a blank library, it creates a new library with all of my same content from the other library. I followed the instructions but itunes will not give me a blank library???

I have looked up how to create the new blank itunes library and every site has the same copy and pasted instructions. They are simple but have no troubleshooting solutions. It creates my wifes new library with all of the same content from my library. How can I make the whole thing blank so I can sync her new device without putting all of my stuff on there?

Having opened the supposedly blank library go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Should clear things up.
