Hi Artemis,
Do the two libraries share some of the same images?
Are you running the same version of iPhoto?
Do you want to keep keywords, albums, comments intact on the merge?
Depending on how you answer the questions there is a different route you can follow.
If you just want albums from the PB to import into the mini and don't care about keywords,etc.:
Highlight the album in the source column and select all
hit Share/export
Export to a newly created folder on the desktop
Once all albums are exported copy them over to the mini desktop or burn them to a DVD.
Open iPhoto on the mini
drag the album folders into an open iPhoto viewing window.
If you have any images that are the same in both of the libraries, you might get duplicates imported, so you will have to wade through them to delete the dups.
To merge the libraries:
Copy the Entire iPhoto Library folder to the mini
Download and pay for iPhoto Library Manager
Follow directions in the documentation to merge libraries.
iPhoto Library Manager
iPhoto Library Manager documentation
this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
Are you using the same username on both computers?

HT1229 How do I merge Libraries

Does anyone know if it is possible to merge libraries or must you extract the photos from one Library and import to another Library

Sure - with APerture or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - - it is not a feature of iPhoto

I have to sign in and out between one and the other constantly and i dont know what to do anymore becouse now i can't update software on either, it keeps on poping up "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." and im pretty sure im on the right account.

Sorry. Apple's policy states that accounts cannot be merged > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

I imported a CD of duets and they all appear as individual tracks. Is it possible to merge after importing?

Is it possible to merge tracks that are supposed to be one CD but appear in my library as individual tracks?

Hello lenv223
Try dragging and dropping the music to your iPad and see if that makes a difference for getting your music to your iPad.

This configuration is weird little bit. There is MatchExpression /app1 and MatchExpression /app2 and at the same time two <Location /weblogic> sections. Are you sure you understand what that configuration stands for?
Try something like this ...
<Location /app1>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7003,127.0.0.1:7005,127.0.0.1:7007,127.0.0.1:7103,127.0.0.1:7104

where /app1 and /app2 are contexts of your weblogic applications.

Why is aperture not importing merged libraries as projects

Hi Everyone:
I'm trying to move a large library of RAW files to another library on the same machine. I tried exporting the whole library but there were a lot of corrupted files (or at least they had the yellow triangles on them), and when I selected all and asked it to locate referenced files, it said there were none, even though it had over 1000.
So I decided to export/import piecemeal and do it project by project. So what I've been doing is exporting a project as a library, switching libraries, and selecting a project to import to and then clicking import. At first it was working well and importing everything as separate projects, but today I must be doing something wrong or missing a step.
It is now importing the library and dumping it loose in the photos section, and I have to go picking through the photos to find the ones I imported and put them into projects. This is going to get increasingly more difficult and I really need help... I've been at this now for two days and need to get back out taking pictures...
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi everyone:
Just to add, I already followed these steps and it didn't work...
To merge a project or Aperture library into a project
Control-click a project, then choose Import > Library/Project from the shortcut menu.
In the dialog that appears, select the project or library that you want to merge into the project selected in Projects view, then click Import.
The project or library is merged into the project selected in Projects view. For more information about merging libraries, see Merging Libraries.

Merging libraries in iphoto?

How do you merge libraries in iphoto 11?

Open library 1, then file > show in finder > original foto.
Open the other library and drag&drop the photo's from the finder (=other library).
does not mention using the iPhoto application
And even if you do drag the original photos fom one iPhoto library into iPhoto and import them into another library - you are NOT merging libraries - you are import pphotos to a library - none of the version, metadata, albums, etc, etc come over - just the photos which is not the same as merging libraries
The only current solution to merging libraries is the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

Merge libraries

I have iphoto libraries on several harddrives and want to merge them into one. Can't find a solution. Anyone who knows?

iPhoto does not support the merging of libraries, but the utility iPhoto Library Manager can merge libraries -
download here: iPhoto Library Manager
Unfortunately, the basic free version will not suffice, you need the paid version.
If you have access to Aperture, you can also use it to merge your libraries (see: Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries), but if you need to buy a tool, iPhoto Library Manager would be the more economic solution, and it is a must-have with iPhoto anyway.

Is it possible to merge /Usr to Root?

So, I've read the messages about not using a separate partition for /Usr. I'm also getting some errors on bootup because of this.
What I'm wondering is if it's possible to merge /Usr to root? How can it be done and is it safe?

Thank you so much. Do you know how this could be done for a total noob.?.
You could start by reading 'man mount', especially the start of the description, and take it from there.

Is it possible to merge scripts?

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a scenario where i need to populate the result of a transaction in the landing page.
while executing the transaction, i need to select two variants.
I tried by recording the script and do the copy paste of the values. But i am ended up in copying the value of the second variant selected but not the first.
What would be suggested method? is it possible to merge scripts? Will that be possible?
Thanks,
Bala.

Well, you could do the two different recordings, then upload them into the same script button and use IF conditions to decide which one to run.
When uploading the recorded script, there is an option to append the second recording to the existing script.
Unless I misunderstand your scenario, this should work...

Hi Pandiyan,
In SSIS its not good practice to use execute this query(Using Execute SQL Task).
rather than you can take two different connection (OLEDB Source) and merge there using Merge JOIN control.

DeDup merged Libraries

I'm looking for workflow advice or tips to use iPhoto as the application of choice to manage my photos (20,000+ counting duplicates). I've read though or listened to tutorials on iPhoto and have a fair working knowledge of computers and shared applications.
I switched over to apple a couple of years ago. This switch left windows folders of photos on my work computers, home computers, laptops and phones. There are more than one because as our kids grew up and left home they left many photos on our file servers scattered all over. At work and home, many times our kids would just hand me a thumb drive/cd with photos which I promptly dumped into a folder and imported into iPhoto later on the nearest computer.
Now, I'd like to reclaim wasted space by deleting these scattered folders once I know they have been imported to iPhoto.
I'm using Drop Box as the place for the "default merged library" so I can access the same library or libraries from multiple locations. I will be the only person to use the Drop Box so I'm not concerned about multiple users of the same database.
I've used "Library Manager" to merge libraries from different computers and preserve the meta data, tags, edited versions, etc.
One main issue, is the vast number of duplicates I'm discovering and how to trim these from the main library. I have started using additional libraries to help break apart the huge single mass into smaller more manageable bites but this just helped uncover more duplicates.
Are there any shortcuts to help discover and remove duplicates? Automated tools or scripts? Can I safely remove all the old folders once I see the photo in iPhoto? If I import the same folder twice from two different computers it does not always obey the "do not import duplicates" check box as the clocks may not have been the same when the photos were loaded on the computer originally. Any ideas about how to compensate for these duplicates and save time is appreciated. Recommendations about sensible ways to use multiple libraries would help too.
End goal is to have a single set of iPhoto libraries, without duplicates, stored on Drop Box from which I can export albums/events to family and friends via a web link. I would only like the photo image stored and taking up space without the worry about files, file folders and sub structures.
Thanks,
pblpup

Couple of comments:
I'm using Drop Box as the place for the "default merged library" so I can access the same library or libraries from multiple locations. I will be the only person to use the Drop Box so I'm not concerned about multiple users of the same database.
We ran some experiments here a while back to see if we could sync Libraries back and forth with Drop Box and they were corrupted in the process.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). While the DropBox folder on your machine is on a Disk with the correct format, the one on the DropBox server isn't. And to get to the other machine the Library spends time there.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
If you're running a Managed Library then yes, you can delete the files from the Finder after importing.
For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator
