How to merge iPhoto v2 libraries into one iPhoto v11 library

Hi,
I just are going through a major upgrade from my iBook dual USB (500 MHz Power PC G3, OS 10.4.11) to my brand-new MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz core I5, OS 10.6.8).
As my old iBook was running so slow, I had splitted my libraries into two using IPhoto Library Manager some years ago running with iPhoto 2. Now I need to merge these two libraries into one and then transfer it to my new computer and let iPhoto 11 upgrade the library at once.
Based on very helpful earlier threats, I intend to follow the process below:
Merge libraries using iPhoto Library Manager (registered version) to get one library (on my old computer)
Copy this library into the Pictures folder of my new computer
Open iPhoto (shift key will give me the option to select if needed) and it will automatically upgrade my library.
So far so good - but I experience one issue I did not manage to solve. I use iPhoto Library Manager version 3.5.2 on my old computer, but after starting the merging process it tells me I need iPhoto version 4 at least; but I have version 2 only. I guess I cannot use iPhoto version 11 on my new computer as I first need to merge the libraries as old versions, as the iPhoto version 11 cannot work with the not yet upgraded libraries, can it? I have the IPhoto Library Manager registered version 3.6.8 installed on my new machine.
Before I make a major mistake to my pictures (> 20 GB): is it possible to upgrade both old libraries separately in iPhoto v11 and then merge them in iPhoto v11?
Many thanks for your advice!
Best regards,
Markus

Rename the second iPhoto 2 library to something other that iPhoto Library and put it in the Pixtures folder next to the other library on your new MBP.  Then open it with iPhoto11 to convert.
Once both are converted to the same version you can use iPLM to merge them into a new library.
HOWEVER if you don't care about any metadata you might have in your last iPhoto 2 library you can use    SyncPhotos
to import the photos in your iPhoto 2 library into your iPhoto 11 library.
Here's how it works: 
1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B. 
2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.  
3 - it then does the same for B. 
4 - metadata is not copied. 
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

  • How do I collapse multiple libraries into one library?

    I have a couple of dozen libraries, created over multiple versions of FCP, and now I have equivalent copies of events and resources strewn across multiple library files across three drives.  Plus, FCP has been automatically creating new instances of projects and storing them in files named with dates; I can't find the latest version to open it!
    How do I collapse all these libraries into one?  Hopefully not by moving event by event from one to another!  It takes a couple of minutes per event and resource; the program keeps wanting to "reload" resources after each move.

    It looks like you updated your libraries multiple times. Yes, the only way to consolidate them is to drag the events from each library into a master library.

  • How to merge two storage drives into one partition-help

    THis is on an iPad-Please excuse for any typos
    I Am working on a project of restoring a macbook pro from old parts that I found. It works!!! But the HDD that i salvadged is ancient and gets about .15 MBPS. Not good. Its an apple certified and apple branded toshiba HDD-500G at 5400RPM. Yeah. *****
    I am considering buying a new hard drive as a 480GB SSD, and using OWC's Data doubler, adding a second HDD, for all the photos and vids i will be collecting through my work in video and photo. I am considering getting an SSHD (SSD+HDD in an SSD form factor) and using this as the second drive. its not much more expensive (like 10$ more) and itgetsme semi-SSD like performance on a mass scale of storage.
    HOw can I combine these two drives into ONE partition? 480GB will take awhile to fill up, but this is a future proof wall to use.
    I Will eventually invest in an external storage option (2-3 HDDS in one caddy for backups and storing 1080p video all under one roof. depends if the board im using actually has thunderbolt or usb that is fast enough-because of the crappy hdd i cant get it to boot into an OS or go through usb recovery without it freezing. I ahve tried re-applying thermal paste, still doesnt help)
    HOw can i easily partition these two drives into one?
    also, my friend needs a new HDD because bootup times in his macbook pro are at like 2 mins+ and hes running Core 2 Duo, with 8 G ram and 10.9 (Mav) should i recommend an SSHD or an ssd. (He doesnt want an HDD, hes had bad 'voodoo' with em'. Thanks!

  • How to merge serveral layout files into one output file?

    Hi there!
    For my report, I need to get a datasheet with all the customer data from the database and I have to attach a second document - so I've created 2 files (rtf templates) within the layout section.
    But how can I now run my report and these files are merged to one?
    Thank you!
    BR
    Lena

    Hi Lena,
    Have you tried to combine the RTF templates into one template?
    You could use subtemplates or define the contents/logic from your second template into the main template by creating the template like:
    <?template:Template2?>
    your second template logic here
    <?end Template2?>
    And within the main template, you call this <?call@inlines:Template2?>
    Hope this helps.

  • How to merge different comp track into one comp track?

    Hi
    I use logic studio 9
    I have recorded two different comp tracks for lead singing of project
    And now I have two different tracks with a lot of takes to choose from in each one of them
    I would like to merge the two into one comp track with all the takes so it will be easier to edit
    Is there any way to do that?
    By the way, there is no reason why I made 2 tracks for the same singing part. Now it seems to be a mistake...
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    Basically, you need to unpack one (or both) sets of Take Folders, and then merge the two together:
    Working on the basic assumption (for discussion purposes) that you have two tracks, each with Take Folders on them.
    Method 1:
    Select each Take Folder on track 2 and click-hold on the arrow top right of the folder. Choose Upack to new tracks. Carefully select the new regions and drag/drop them onto the Take Folders on Track 1.
    Method 2
    Unpack ALL Take  folders on both tracks, Select all the regions and use the Region:Folder:Pack Take Folder function to re-pack into a new Take.

  • How to merge three SQL packages into one package?

    Dear Folks, I have three sql pacakges (1d.pks, 1d.pkb , 2d.pks, 2d.pkb, 3d.pks, and 3d.pkb). Each package has slight different code in their body but I need to combine all them into one single package. I can do this manually by comparing each line of code and keep making changes but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do it. Kindly let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance.

    If you have three pieces of code in any language that do similar things, you would want to refactor them, pulling out common elements into reusable components. It is no different with PL/SQL. Most of the effort in refactoring code goes into figuring out what those reusable components are and figuring out the appropriate interface for those components. Any reasonable IDE will provide you tools that automate the tedious bits of refactoring-- renaming variables, breaking a section of code out as a separate procedure, etc. But since 90% of the work is identifying what and how to refactor the code not in the mechanical task of implementing the actual refactoring, the benefit of using an IDE are not huge-- it's often just as easy to cut and paste in your favorite text editor.

  • Stepper motor 8SMC1-USBhF and power meter PM100D: how to merge the two VIs into one and make a XY graph of the current position and the power

    Hi there,
    I have a stepper motor (8SMC1-USBhF) and a power meter (PM100D). I want to measure the power while the stepper motor is moving, and obtain an XY graph with the current position on x axis and the power on y axis. So I just merged the two VIs together by copying and pasting, and created local variables for current position and readout value, and changed them to read, and then linked them to the XY graph, but apparently it doesnt work.
    So could you please instruct me how to merge them and obtain an XY graph appropriately?
    Attached are the two VIs.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    The XY graph requires that each datapoint on the X axis corresponds to a datapoint on the Y axis.  To create XY data you will need to creat two arrays of X data and Y data with the same amount of elements then cluster the two arrays together to wire into the XY graph.  As an example take a look at the VI snippet below.  Is there a specific error being thrown?

  • How to merge two crystal reports into one in Delphi using TCrpe?

    I am absolutely new to Delphi and Crystal Reports. I figured that I can export a crystal report to pdf like this:

        crpe.ParamFields[0].CurrentValue := '0';

    (Although this is working, please let me know if I am doing it wrong )
    My main problem here is: I have two .rpts "BasicInfo.rpt" and "Details.rpt" and I need to create one pdf out of them in Delphi.
    Is there any way to merge two .rpts and export it into one pdf in Delphi?

    You cannot merge two reports into one PDF - not in any CR SDK. There are 3rd party utilities that will let you do this, but no APIs for this in CR.
    BTW.; What version of CR are you using?

    Kindly ignore Doc_0 here, it's for another purpose. Document_1 is what we are focussing on.
    Please note, you would not be able to see columns as those are dynamically created. Still you can map it as shown above.
