How to merge the contents of two Photo Booths?

Hello.  We have two Macbooks (Old + Existing).  Both are/were updated to Maverick.  However, I have restored the Old Macbook back to original (Snow Leopard) in order to sell.  I manually took off files as well as doing a Time Machine backup. 
I would like to add all the photos and videos from Photo Booth on the Old Macbook into my Existing Macbook.
Is this possible either a. through a specific file in Time Machine (I do NOT wish to replace the Existing with the Old.  This is a merger.) or b. with the Photo Booth library I copied onto an external harddrive?  However, this is one 1.75gb file with the Photo Booth icon (a film strip) rather than separate photo files.  I am unsure how to access individual photographs or videos.  I was hesitant to open it up in case it negatively affected the Existing Photo Booth.
Thanks for any assistance.

Great, I just lost 10 GB of data thanks to OSX folder merge... because appaerantly I should have known better not to keep a subfolder inside my folder I was trying to merge
I can not beleive more people don't have a problem with this. Merge contents in Lion does NOT merge contents if 1 or more of those supposed "contents" is a subfolder
Merge contents of two folders only works for files, it does NOT work for subfolders!!!!
Can we please get this acknowledged as a bug that needs fixing?
EXAMPLE:
Drive1 / Folder1
               - text1.txt
               - text2.txt
               - / subfolder / text3.text
MERGE TO
Drive2 / Folder1
               - text1.txt  (this gets updated / merged)
               - text2.txt  (this gets updated / merged)
               - / subfolder /
                         - text.txt
                         - text2.txt     (this should get text3.txt merged into it, from Drive1, but instead this subfolder is REPLACED, and NOT MERGED!!)
Why would i want to replace a folder if I'm trying to merge it!?
Almost 2013 and OSX still cant merge a folder? unbelievable

  • How to Merge the Contents of Two Folders in Lion, Keeping the Newer Versions of Duplicate Files.

    Select and copy all the contents of the folder containing the newer files.  Paste the files ONTO the folder containing the older files.  The unique files will be copied into the older folder without further ado.  For the duplicates, a window will appear warning that a file with the same name already exists in the older folder.  Check the "Apply to All" box and click on the Replace button, not the Skip button.  These steps will merge all the files in the newer folder into the older folder, replacing the duplicates with the copies from the newer folder.
    Unfortunately, the only information that the warning window provides about the duplicates is their common name, not sizes, dates, or times.  These steps worked for me because I knew for certain that all the newer files were in one folder.

  • How to compare the contents of two XML documents

    Hi all,
    I was trying to compare the contents of two xml documents, they are both validate for the same XML Schema. i was using the xmlunit to do this. but some how it doesn't work like what i have expected. for example:
    1.xml : <test><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
    2.xml: <test><item>3</item><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
    the result from XMLUnit is this two xmls are different, but it compares <item>2</item> with <item>3</item>, which i cannot find out where the real diiffs are.
    does anybody know how i can do this correct?
    best regards,
    tina

    I faced a similar problem in one of my projects and hence wrote my own comparator. Most comparators like ExamXML etc show XML as different if the nodes under a parent node occur in different seqeunce or a set of repeated nodes occur in different sequence. The comparator that I wrote gives you the flexibility to configure how to identify a node from a set of repeated nodes and is able to compare them successfully if they occur in any order. You can view the sample output at http://geocities.com/dheerendra_itbhu/TipsFromDheeru.html
    and contact me in case you need the source code.

  • Is there a way to combine (merge) the contents of two directories in Finder?

    In Finder, under Favorites, I have two similar directories, one labeled Documents, and the other, with a house icon, labeled with my name.  I think I imported the latter from my old Windows computer when I was a Mac neophyte.  There are many duplicate subdirectories, and many duplicate files, but they are not exact duplicates.  Is there an easy  way to merge the two directories so that all my documents are in the Documents directory?

    Your home folder (with the house icon) will have by default several subfolders, and "Documents" is one of them. The Home folder stores all files used by your user account, inclusing music, photos, movies, etc., the "Documents" folder will document like files, databases, text documents, ...
    There is no problem to move all fies from your Home Folder to the "Documents" folder, but I would keep the standard folders "Downloads","Movies", "Pictures", "Music", "Public". These folders are the default locations, where applications will be looking for files by default, if no previous location has been set up.

  • How to change the size of a photo booth photo

    please help me with this. I am trying to change it for a picture frame thats 640x640, so please help me. I need help to change it on PHOTO BOOTH. Thank you if you help.

    Photo Booth is only designed to take images. You need to use another program if you want to crop, resize or edit images etc.
    Do you have iPhoto installed? You can drag images into that application & use that to crop & export images fixed to a specific size. It has custom sizes that can be set in the export dialog.
    Have you checked the manual for the photo frame? Many will simply show larger images scaled to fit the screen resolution it may be pointless resizing them?
    Automator also has actions that can scale images, it can be a quick way to bath process a lot of images.
    There are many simple Automator examples around…

    Hi,
    If it is very needful.
    you can create the ODS object for each infocubes and map these ODS objects to target ODS object.
    or, you can create the Export datasources from each infocube and map these to new target ODS object which is having all the char and KF of both the infocubes.

  • How to Merge the elements of two separate lists into a single one .

    Hi ,
    I am unable to add elemnts of 2 separate Lists suppose list1= { HashmapA, HashMapB}
    List2 = { HashmapC, HashMapD } into the third list List3 whose elements should be
    { HashmapA, HashMapB,HashmapC, HashMapD } .
    I am trying Collections.addAll(List3 ,List2 ,list1)
    but it is giving me a list whose elements are 2 lists( 0 -> list1,1->list2) and not { HashmapA, HashMapB,HashmapC, HashMapD }.
    Can anyone help me out with this !!!!!

    I am unable to add elemnts of 2 separate Lists suppose list1= { HashmapA, HashMapB}
    List2 = { HashmapC, HashMapD } into the third list List3 whose elements should be
    { HashmapA, HashMapB,HashmapC, HashMapD } .
    You can also try
    Set<T> union = new HashSet<T>(list1);
    union.addAll(list2);Assuming you want to get rid of the duplicates. Replace T with the actual type of your elements.

  • How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions?

    How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions into one MIDI region without using copy and paste functions in the piano roll editor?

    Sorry - didn't make myself clear. The glue tool would be no good here. I meant that I wanted, for example, to merge the MIDI contents of two regions that are perhaps on different tracks but play back at the same time, i.e. I want to add the 2nd region's MIDI to the 1st region's MIDI, but without having to go into the piano roll editor and cut and paste the data.

  • How can i compare the contents of two folders ?

    how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!

    I really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
    There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
    Any bright ideas Apple?

  • I am thinking of buying a MacBook Air and am wondering how to get the content of my iPad into iTunes.

    I have iTunes on an old pc and am thinking of buying a MacBook Air. I am wondering how to get the content of my iPad on to the Mac as I know that sync only happens in one direction, from pc to device. I assume therefore that when I attach my pad to the new Mac it will sync to an empty iTunes and I will have lost all the content of my pad. I know I can restore purchases, but what about contacts, calendar, photos and music not purchased from apple. I have a fairly recent backup on a pen drive but it is a usb2 device and is formatted for a pc. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Do I copy my media library or from a backup.  I have a backup on my pc and on an external drive. This drive is usb2 and formatted for windows so I can't connect it to a MacBook Air to make the transfer.  Equally I don't think there is a way to connect the 2 computers via a cable ie usb2 one end and usb3 the other.  Will the computers talk to each other via wifi if I enable home share although I think this is only for music which still leaves contacts, mail etc.
    I am sorry to be such an ignoramus but any further help would be appreciated.

  • Help me...How to read the content if "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" is used?

    I am doing a project for internet control using Java,PHP and MySql.All sites should go through the proxy server only.If the HTTP header contains Content-Length,am getting the content length as below:
    public class HTTPResponseReader extends HTTPMessageReader
        String statusCode;
        public HTTPResponseReader(InputStream istream) throws IOException,                     NoSuchElementException
      BufferedInputStream distream = new BufferedInputStream(istream);
      retrieveHeader(distream);
      StringTokenizer st =  new StringTokenizer(new String(HTTPMessageReader.toArray(header)));
      versionProtocol = st.nextToken();
      statusCode = st.nextToken();
      String s;
      while (st.hasMoreTokens())
            s = st.nextToken();
            if (s.equals("Transfer-Encoding:"))
           transferEncoding = new String(st.nextToken());
         if (s.equals("Content-Length:"))
           contentLength = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
         if (s.equals("Connection:"))
          connection = new String(st.nextToken());
          if (connection.equals("keep-alive")) mustCloseConnection = false;
       retrieveBody(distream);     
    }After getting the Content-Length,i used read method to read the content upto that content length.Then i concatenated the HTTP header and body and the requested site was opened.But some sites dont have Content-Length.Instead of that,Transfer-Encoding is used.I got the HTTP Response header as "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" for some sites.If this encoding is used how to get the length of the message body and how to read the content.
    Can anybody help me.
    Thanks in advance...

    Why don't you use HttpUrlConnection class to retrieve data from HTTP server? This class already supports chunked encoding...
    If you want to do anything by yourself then you need to read HTTP RFC and find all required information. Well in two words you may reject advanced encoding by specifying HTTP 1.0 in your request or download chunked answer manually. Read RFC anyway :)

  • How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ?

    Hi there,
    I have an old video camera that is still working. That video camera uses a Hi 8 tape. The tape is bigger that the current DV tape. The size of the tape is something like a tape cassette.
    How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ? Being an old video camera, the output doesn't have any firewire or USB connector. In fact the only output is has is the Yellow, Red & while connector (is this referred to as composite).
    So, how do I input this Yellow, Red & White cable into the PC (or rather into Adobe Pro CS3) ?
    Any established hardware/convertor to recommend ?
    Thanks

    Ryan,
    For "composite out," only you will need an A-D "bridge" to Capture from that camera. Grass Valley/Canopus offers two really good ones, the ADVC-110 and the ADVC-300. There are others and also PCI A-D capture cards, but the Canopus units get very good reviews.
    One other workflow would be to hook your older camera to a digital video camera with passthrough (not all have this and it is being discontinued fairly rapidly in consumer cameras) and then doing the Capture through that digital video camera via FireWire. You will not have Device Control, but can easily start/stop via the mouse and one hand on the switches, or on a remote.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
