How to merge two hard dics of mp3s without duplicating a 1000's of tracks

edit +i just realised this should have gone in 'importing' sub section of the forum+
hello.
i have 2 external hard drives with about 40GB each of music on them. i need to add both of these into itunes so i can consolidate all my music in one itunes library. however both music folders (that is the seperate folders one on each hard disc that have previously been organised by itunes) have a lot of music (like 30gb per disc) thats the exact same as the other. so if i add them both in i get millions of duplicate tracks that would take forever to individually delete. what can i do?
i have been so confused about this. pretty much ruined my perfect itunes set up i have been working on for years when i bought my new external drive and tried to get all my music onto it.
thanks
connor

Some things are tedious until you finally get things settled. I don't think there is an easy way because the identical files don't appear to iTunes as identical.

Hi Naresh,
What you could do is:
1. do a ontime command line merge of both repository using the nqudmlexec tool
2. In the mergerd repository created two project (sh and paint) and assign one bussiness model to each project.
3. Make this the master repository for your MUD.
4. Check the projects in and out.

How to merge two search button from different criteria

How to merge two search button from different criteria
this image show the question
http://s24.postimg.org/4algthuj9/1111.jpg
two different criteria for the same view and I need to merge it in one button as when I click
on the button search result give from two criteria parameters

You can!t using af:query. the af:query component comes as is. If you can't do it through the properties, you probably can't do it at all.
As in your other thread, the way to go is to program your own search form. This way you can use a layout and functionality you like.
For this you create a form with input fields for the values you are searching for, put them on hte page in a way you like and in the end by hitting on a button (e.g. called Search) map all inputfields to parameters of a service method you defined in your application module or VO. This service method then executes a view criteria returning all matches in the default iterator (just as if you had used af:query.

import java.util.List;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;

import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;
public class MergeXMLS {
     public static void main(String[] args) {

              Document onebook = builder.build("D:/out.xml");
              Element root = books.getRootElement();
              List rows = root.getChildren();
              for (int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++) {

The above code only add's the first node.

              Document books = builder.build("D:/in.xml");
              Document onebook = builder.build("D:/out.xml");
             //trying to add second xml into the first
              books.getRootElement().addContent(onebook.getRootElement().getContent());
              new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat()).output(books, System.out);
here is the exception from the above code:
org.jdom.IllegalAddException: The Content already has an existing parent "address"

Easy way: with the one you want to use open in Outlook and the other one not in your profile, go to File, Open, Import.
If you only want to merge some content, open both pst files in outlook and drag between folders. For calendar, use a list view to see all of the appointments.

How to merge two conflicting contact on iPhone and on laptop?

How to merge two conflicting contacts?
When syncing my iPhone w/ my Mac laptop, it seems that Apple does not provide an option that allows you to merge the data from two conflicting contacts. For example, you have a contact on your iPhone for Andy Summer and a contact on your laptop for Andy Summers - one contact contains only Andy's name and email address, the other contact contains only Andy's name and his mailing address. I'd like to be able to merge the data from these two contacts into one and save it to both, but the Conflict Resolver in the syncing program (I think it's in iTunes) does not offer an option for merging the two.
Does anyone have any knowledge about 1) how to merge data from two conflicting contacts, or 2) some other way to keep the data from each so that I don't have to choose one over the other?

Jawad,
First of all,You need to make teaming on both the interfaces on the server side.Which mode do you want to use? Active-Active or Active-Standby.
Server side :Active-Active - You need to configure the switch side to be a etherchannel/LACP. It can be done by the commands on the cisco 4006.
Server side :Active-Standby - You need nothing to do at the switch side.
Note: Seems PAGP is a proprietary of cisco. Server shouldn't know that. To be bound with mode "on" of "lacp" should be fine. It depends on the server side as well.

How to merge two movies documents into 1 in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

How to merge two WD components in one WD application?

Hi SDN,
Can any one tell me How to merge two WD components in one WD application?
suppose i have two WD componets z_comp1 & z_comp2 now i want to use both these components in one WD application.
Regards,
Rahul.

hi rahul...........
          you can use any number of wd components into one component.
eg:
        consider you are having 2 components 'A' and component 'B' and you want to embed both into component 'C'.
       You can just click the 'Create' icon which will be present in the properties tab of the component controller.
       you mention the name of bothe components 'A' and 'B'.
        So now the interface controller of both the components are created in component 'C'.
       Now you can use the views present in both the components in component'C'.

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!
