HT204486 What happens to iPhoto libraries on different Macs when using Photos

I have photo libraries in different Macs and have switched on iCloud to work with Photos on my macbook pro. Do these libraries on my other Macs get merged with the one in the Cloud regardless of duplication of photos ?

thanks Leonie. I had the same impression: I started to connect a second computer to the photo library in iCloud, which I quickly stopped. I nevertheless ended up with 400 additional photos in the iCloud library.
In that case it may be better to remove the other libraries before connecting other Macs. Presumably you have to make a new, empty, library and designate that the system library.

How to unify multiple iPhoto libraries from different Mac OS versions?

I am pretty good with the Mac itself and have been a long time user. I knew full well acumulating multiple iphoto libraries in older backups (intead of building up on one) was not a great idea but for several reasons I have had to live that way. Now is the time to clean it all up once and for all and I need some wisdom;
-I got my external drive as my new iphoto library now. It's being used, there are already albums in it and it's ready to accept older libraries.
-What I want is that the older libraries (about 10 of them from different Mac OS versions) to show up in the new external drive as they looked in iphot back then. As albums in other words.
-I do not want them imported in a single folder that's full of photos.
Any help is much appreciated,
Cheers.

If you imported a previous iphoto library into your new one, it created a folder inside the iphoto called "imported".
That was the problem. One should never import one library into another. Only iPhoto 6 libraries and earlier can be imported into a library now. With the introduction of iPhoto 7 the library was changed from a folder to a package which can't be imported by the current iPhoto version.
To use an older library with a new iPhoto version one just opens that library with iPhoto and lets iPhoto update it as necessary. No importing necessary.
Also you can use the paid verson of iPhoto Library Manager to merge those additional libraries into your current working library (be sure to have a current backup of your current library before merging). What will be included are albums, Events, keywords, titles, descriptions, places. Books, slideshows, calendars in the other libraries will be copied over as just albums.

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

Merging iPhoto Libraries from two Macs

Does anyone have a way of physically combining (not just sharing) iPhoto libraries from two macs? I'm hoping there's an easier, smarter way of doing it than just exporting all of the photos from one and importing them into the other and then just doing the reverse. Is there software that does this smarter? Can get rid of duplicates, etc.?

Merge?
Do you mean 'sync' libraries
The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this with automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus assoicated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.
The Export/Import route will not get your versions.

Merging photo libraries from different macs

silly question but how do you merge iphoto libraries from three macs in the one home to one machine only?

Changing the name servers for a domain would require you to re-create the MX records at the new DNS provider's end to point to your existing email service provider. You might experience downtime during the transition/propagation period.

What happened to my iDisk on my mac desk top?

what happened to my iDisk on my mac desk top?
It's gone and I can't sync it?
Does this have something to do with iCloud?

MobileMe terminated on 1 July and it has not been possible to mount the iDisk on your Desktop nor sync it since then. Its contents have now been deleted.
If you were running 'iDisk Syncing' then you should go to System Preferences>MobileMe>iDisk and turn it off; and to the Sync pane and stop any syncing which is running; then go to the Account pane and sign out, removing your username and password. This is to prevent error messages arising from an inability to contact the server.
If you were running iDisk Syncing you may be able to locate the disk image which constituted the local copy. This lives in (user)/Library/FileSync unless you have found a folder on your Desktop called 'previous local iDisk for....' which would contain it. If you open this image you should find that it contains a copy of the contents of your iDisk at the time of the last sync.
iCloud does not provide an equivalent service. If you want online file storage you will need to find an alternative - this page examines some options:

What happens inside ...... when fired Index Reorganize

Hi all,
what happens inside ...... when fired Index Reorganize
Thanks

Logical scan fragmentation is removed (where possible). This can improve performance of certain queries, because it reduces the amount of big disk head movements need to go through all the pages.
In addition to that, it brings the amount of unused space in line with the original fill factor of the index. If you haven't specified any fill factor when the index was first created, then all unused space will be removed (where possible). It does this
by joining the rows of multiple pages onto fewer pages and releasing the empty pages. This can improve performance of many queries, since fewer I/O and less memory is now needed to access the same amount of row data.
When the command runs, it will lock just one or a few pages at a time. This way, most blocking is avoided, and any blocking that does occur will be short lived.
This also means that the reorganization occurs inline, within the pages and extents that are already allocated for the specific index. This is one of the big differences with Reindexing, where new pages (and extents) are allocated.

What happens if I intall 8gb of RAM when the max is 4?

what happens if I install 8gb of RAM when the max is 4?

It depends on the model of MacBook you have; click here, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= , load the page, and check the actual RAM limit.
If it's listed as 6GB and 8GB is installed in it, the computer will slow down to the point of unusability once more than 4GB is in use.

Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?

Hello
I'm currently developping an image processing algorithm using Labview 7.1 and the associated IMAQ Vision tools. After several tests, I found a weird result. Indeed, I put the labview algorithm - including the IMAQ VI on the library to get sure that I use all the time the same VI - on my memory stick and used it on two different computers. I tested the same picture (still in my memory stick) and had two very different results.
After several hours trying to understand why, I found that there were a difference between the results given by both computers at the very begining of the algorithm. Indeed, I used a JPEG file.
To open it, I first create an Image with IMAQ Create (U8). Then, I open it.
Then in my first sub-VI, I use IMAQ Cast Image to be sure that the picture is a U8 grayscale picture.
Right after that, I use the IMAQ Linear Averages. The results of this VI are different on the two computers.
I tried several time on the same picture : one computer always give me the same result but the two computers give me a different result. So there is no random variable on the results.
So my question is : Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?
My bet is on IMAQ Cast Image but I'm not quite sure and I do not undestand why. The labview and IMAQ are the same on both computers.
The difference between the two computer are above :
Computer 1 :
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz with a RAM of 1Go. The processor is an Intel(R).
The OS is windows XP Pro 2002
Computer 2 :
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with a RAM of 512Mo. The processor is an Intel(R).
The OS is windows XP Pro 2002.
If anybody can help me on this problem, it would be really helpful.
Regards
Florence P.

Hi,
Indeed it's a strange behaviour, could you send me your VI and your JPEG file, (or another file that reproduces) so that I could check this inthere ?
I'll then try to find out what's happening.

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps
