Is it possible to sync an iPad with more than one iPhoto Library?

I just backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard-drive to create space on my iMac hard-drive. I then decided to copy and import part of the old library back into the new as I am not finished working with some pictures. The order that they show up is really erratic. I think it would just be easier to be able to sync using files from both libraries. Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks for the tip and more importantly taking the time! I never thought of looking in the App store, will do.
I really hate the way that the application iPhoto files jpegs. The same goes for iTunes!

  • Can i sync my iphone with more than one itunes library without erasing content?

    So i just got a replacement iphone yesterday, and restored from a backup all my contacts and stuff.
    I dont have my own laptop so when it comes to music i get all of my mine from other computers...this has never been a problem with my phone or ipods, but i guess it is now...when i click on manually manage it says:
    "An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    so i cannot go to a second device and take songs from them without erasing the ones from the previous comp.
    they used to be able to authorized on up to 5 comps right? is this a new strict setting, or is there a way around it??
    thanks

    No. An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Basically you'd want to get the music to the library first, then sync it to the phone after you get it set up in your library.  iTunes will not transfer songs off the phone that were not purchased through the iTunes store, so they need to be in your library beforehand. You might consult with the googles if there are other third party ways to do that.
    The 5 compy authorization is for iTunes account authorization, which means transfering music bought through itunes, apps, etc.

  • Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

    I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer.  I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library.  Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
    Than kyou in advance for the help.

    In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
    You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
    However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.

  • Is it possible to equip a MBP with more than one external monitor

    I am having one 17" monitor connected with my MBP right now. There'a a plan to buy new monitor and I don't wanna dispose my current one. Does anyone connect your laptop with more than one monitor?
    I tried to search apple site about some cable that enable MBP to connect to more than one monitor, but haven't found any yet.

    Yes, you can. But you have to use a third party hardware:

  • Can you sync an ipad to more than one itunes account?

    I'm sure this question has been asked, I didn't see the answer. My girlfriend bought an ipad for both of us to use, I have an iphone, she does not, we both have separate itunes accounts, any way to sync both to the ipad?
    thx

    Yes, you can have more than one account on the same computer, that makes sense, imagine you have kids and you like them to use their own accounts…
    In iTunes check the menu "Store", sign out for your account an sign in with an other account.
    If the two computers are in the same network, it is easy to transfer Music, Apps and so on from one to the other. After consolidating the libraries you can use "Authorize this Computer". I believe you can authorize up to fife computers with the same account…
    enjoy your magic machine

  • Syncing I pod with more than one computer

    I want to sync my I Pod on a laptop but we also have it installed on a desktop. When we try to sync with the laptop, I Tunes says that the i pod is already synced with another computer and wants us to deleate that computer. Can I tunes be synced to more than one computer and if so, how do you do that.

    What you'll want to do is manually manage the iPod, in order to put content onto it from multiple computers.

  • While syncing iPAD with more than one pc my old data on iPAD lost

    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?

    You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. That is why iTunes erases the old data from the previous sync. You can Manually Manage music and videos - but that is different than syncing.
    Manually content manually on iPod, iPhone or iPad
    Q2. Is it possible to sync only new files(songs) on pc with iPAD? so that old data (songs) on iPAD2 will remnain intact and only new files (song) will get sync with iPAD.
    Yes. you can select exactly what you want to sync - music, apps, photos etc. Just do not unselect any content in iTunes that you want to keep on the device or it will be erased when you sync.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Q3. If on PC there are two Apple ID in iTunes. Then can I use both Apple ID to down load purchase on my iPAD?
    Yes. But you have to sign into the ID that you want to use on the iPad in order to sync that from that ID.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. You have to remember to keep switching back and forth if you use two ID's.
    Q4. While taking the Backup of iPAD which items are backed up eg. Application;phots;songs etc.
    This will tell you what iTunes backs up.
    iTunes: About iOS Backups
    Q5. how do I erase iPAD and installed iOS 5.1 again ?
    Restore your device to factory settings.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software

  • Syncing photos - more than one iPhoto library?

    MacPro [10.9.2] & iPhone 5 [7.1]
    I have four iPhoto libraries on my Mac.
    In iTunes with my iPhone connected, under "Photos" I select "iPhoto" as the syncing source and "all" underneath.
    But after the sync only the photos from one of my four libraries is there on my iPhone.
    Any idea how I can get all my photos over, albeit they are in four separate libraries? All 4 libraries are in my "Pictures" folder on my Mac.
    Thanks.

    Try using the iPhoto Library Manager.

  • Is it possible to associate a song with more than one album?

    I have a number of duplicate songs as a result of owning both an artist's album and compilation albums. Where they are identical I would like to associate the song with each album keeping only one version but allowing the song to play within the either the artist's album or the compilation. Is that possible without using the playlist option?

    Can't be done.

  • Syncing ipod touch with more than one computer

    I have a home computer and an office computer. My home computer has all my music, podcasts, etc. and when I sync my Ipod Touch with it, everything gets on the Ipod Touch. However when I then want to sync my Ipod Touch with my office computer, mainly to sync Ical and Address Book, it removes all the stuff (music, podcasts) from the Touch that is not on the Office computer. I've tried using Preferences and the Info tab to set things so that this wouldn't happen. I.e., trying just to sync Ical and Address Book but it keeps syncing Music and removing stuff I don't want removed from the Touch. What can be done?

  • Why can't I sync my phone with more than one computer to get my music from both computers onto my I phone?

    So I sync my phone on one of my computers and I get the music I want from that computer....then I plug my phone into another computer and I try to get more of my music files from that computer. The problem is: I tunes wants to delete all the previous files that I synced up with my other computer. SOOOO I can not get separate music files off different computers. Why not? These are all my music files....Will I have to find a way to consolidate all of my music onto one computer? Or is there some way I can get all of my files onto my I-phone?

    Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is.  No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already.  I've already tried home sharing.  I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work.  For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes.  Whatever happened to ease of use?  Customer friendly applications?  Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it?  Track by track?  How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows?  Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes.  I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous.  I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone.  What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines?  There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.
