I have two libraries now.  One for iPhoto and one for Photos

The Photos library is significantly smaller than the the iPhoto library.  70gb versus 105 gb.
I read I can delete the older iPhoto program and library but why would it be so much larger if it is based on the same photos.  Why isn't the new Photos Library the same size?
Thanks

You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

  • Is it posible to have two libraries on one computer?

    My brother and I use the same computer for our iPod's. He is 12 and probably shouldn't have some of the same songs that I have. Is it posible to have two libraries on one computer?

    we each have our own user acounts in XP, but iTunes is present in all user accounts on the PC. So what I import or purchase to iTunes using my XP user is only seen by me or is it linked to all users?
    I appreciate your help with this!!!

  • Can I have two libraries on one iTunes program?

    I have two different iPods - one a nano, one a video - and I'm trying to create a way to install on the video iPod its own separate songs without having it import all the original nano's songs from its library. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Do I really have to import all 400 songs from my nano's library onto the video, and then go from there importing new songs for the video iPod? And why, when I installed the video iPod's iTunes CD, was a new iTunes application not created in order to keep the two different iPods' independent of one another?
    Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.

    First of all there can only be one iTUnes with one library on a user account in windows. There is afew programs that will create 2 librarys but you most likly will not need this.
    You can create 2 user accounts on windows for each iPOd, but thats usually for 2 people using one PC that want there own separate iTUnes and music.
    If both iPods are yours you will most likly want to set one ipod (Most Likly the nano) to "Auto update selected playlist" and select which playlist you want on that nano. to do this connect the nano, rightclick it in iTUnes, hit options and set it. then the video iPOd since its bigger in size you can leave it set on its default of "Auto update all songs".
    Another note just so you know, it is possiable to connect 2 ipods at the same time, but HIGHLY recommened NOT TO DO THIS because it can confuse iTUnes and the ipod service running in the background of windows and cause you and iTUnes major headaches

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts.  you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • It appears I have two libraries and now my ipos classic will not sync

    It appears I have two libraries on itunes and now can't sync my ipod any ideas

    Hello cathyfrombeckenham,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning multiple iTunes libraries:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Use multiple iTunes libraries
    You can have more than one iTunes library. For example, you could have a library of holiday music that wouldn’t appear in iTunes the rest of the year. Or you could keep your music in a library on your computer and your movies in a library on an external hard disk. 
    Create or use a different iTunes library
    If iTunes is open, quit it.
    Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes (from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes).
    In the window that appears, do one of the following:
    Create a new library: 
    Click Create Library.
    Choose a different library: 
    Click Choose Library.
    In each library you create, you can select different preferences for the iTunes Media folder, the types of content that are displayed, parental settings, and the library name. To set preferences for a library, choose Edit > Preferences while using the library. 
    You can name your iTunes library (the folder containing your iTunes content and the iTunes Library.itl file) whatever you like. 
    Tip:    For best results, if you create additional iTunes libraries, don’t name the new libraries “iTunes” or “iTunes Music.” Make sure each iTunes library has its own unique name so you’ll know which is which.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    Hi Ahmed,
    Welcome to the community!
    If you have two subscriptions in one Adobe account:
    Can I install the software in 3 or 4 computers (using 2 at any one time) now that I have two subscriptions?
    Ans.  Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product subscriptions, so you can only buy one membership per Adobe ID.  If you need two subscriptions to Creative Cloud, you will need to purchase each subscription with a unique Adobe ID.
    When you install your software, you will be required to enter the same Adobe ID that you used when purchasing your membership, for the following reasons:
    To help ensure that the person who subscribed is the same person who is installing the software
    To enable Adobe to send you important account information in the event your subscription is about to expire or cannot be charged to your credit card.
      2.Can Adobe extend my first subscription to May 2015 and cancel my second subscription?
    Ans.Your first subscription will be automatically renewed untill and unless you do not cancel. In order to cancel your second subscription you need to contact customer support. Please refer:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/
      3.Can I transfer my second subscription to my colleage and still continue to pay using my Credit Card for this new subscription?
    Ans. CC cannot be transferred to another user as it is associated with your Adobe ID.
    4.Tell  me what can I do? I do not want to be paying for two subscriptions and use only one. After all, it was your system that validated that qualification.
    Ans. I would recommend you to cancel one of the CC membership by contacting customer support on the link mentioned in answer2.
    Please let us know if it helps,
    Thanks!

  • HT1473 My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud.  How do we do this?

    My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud.  How do we do this?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

    I have two different accounts with I-tunes and I want to link both purchases for my music to one account. How can I do this?

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • I have two libraries on separate computers. If i turned itunes match on in both computers would the two libraries merge? So if my iphone normally syncs with my laptop would i still only get the iphones library or would i get both as one?

    I have two libraries on separate computers. If i turned itunes match on in both computers would the two libraries merge? So if my iphone normally syncs with my laptop would i still only get the iphones library or would i get both as one?

    Yes, the two libraries should merge. However, you need to turn on match on one computer and let it finish before adding the second library.
    Once you turn march on n your phone then you don't sync it with iTunes, but the merged library will show up on the phone. If you don't turn on match on your phone and continue to sync then all of the music from both libraries should be available to sync to it.
    The only bit I can't confirm is what happens if you try to sync music to the phone which isnt actually downloaded into iTunes. Im not in a position to test that, but maybe someone else can help.
