Is Therea Way to merge all my iPhoto/Aperture Libraries"

After many years and thousands of photos, I have found myself with many photo libraries, Is there a way to merge them all? this would be very, very helpful if it was possible.

The only way to merge iPhoto Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
You can't merge Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, you can import iPhoto Libraries to Aperture. There are ways to merge Aperture Libraries if you're running Aperture 3 or later.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts.
You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

Merging iPhoto & Aperture libraries

I want to merge iPhoto & Aperture libraries but I have three questions before I do this:
1. Both programs have different events and albums organizing my photos. When I merge the libraries, does each program keeps the photos organized the way that are right now or does it also merge events and albums? After I merge the libraries, when I creat an album or an event in either program, does the event or album appears in both programs?
2. After I merge the libraries, when I import photos from a camera or the iPhone, does it automatically refreshes in either programs and the new photos appear in both programs? I guess this is a dumb question but I just wanna make sure.
3. I Have an external HD backing up my aperture library in a vault but my iPhoto library is not set to back up automatically like the vault thing in aperture. After the merging, now the vault is going to back up the whole master library?
I appreciate the help and guidance with this questions.

PS: I am mexican so english is my 2nd languaje, I apologize if I commited a gramatic mistake

The key question here is what versions of iPhoto and Aperture do you have?
If you have the latest vesions of both, then merging is as simply as using Aperture's File -> Import -> Library command.
Again, if you have the latest versions of both, thereafter both apps use the same library. So, new photos don't "appear in both programs", they go into the Library and you can use either app to see them.
Yes, after merging the vault will back up the Library.

Applying support packs, is there way to see all tables/view/clustered table

We are applying support packs, and they are taking awhile. Upon review it looks like it's adding some fields to some tables/clustered tables. Is there a way to see all the tables/views/cluster tables that were updated. I know I can look at version management, but if somebody can point me to the base tables to look at and I can do an sql to sort them for what I am looking for. I want to make the changes to the update tables ahead of time by adding the column at the end, so there's no need for a conversion.

you can find all the changes in Transport requests logs as below ;
PATH -> SAP******* -> you get package,general text,documentation,table,tabclecontents,porgram,view etc..
Plesae let me know if you have any questions?

I have 2 accounts. One for my emails and FaceTime, and the other for the iTunes store, iMessage etc. Is there any way to merge all of those into one account?

My emails and factime are on one account (i.e. my MobileMe account) and my Apple ID (i.e. imessage, itunes, app store etc) is on another account. I primarily wanted to make my MobileMe account my iCloud account, however I had to create a new account to do so, so I made a hotmail account because it didn't work again with MobileMe. But now I want all the iCloud data to be transferred from my hotmail account (Apple ID) to my MobileMe account, so I then have one account for everything (facetime, mails, imessage, app store etc). Is this possible?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Is there way to "export all tracks as audio" without such extreme volume?

Exporting some songs for a client, and when i use the "export all tracks as audio" function-- the tracks created are much louder than the levels i have them at in the song. I'm paying mind to the 'normalize' function, as well as the automation option.
But it seems to not matter if i turn the master volume down, or if I turn the output down- the tracks are much, much louder than they are in the song.
Anybody know of a way around this short of bouncing each individual track one by one? We don't have time for that.

AIFF and WAV are sonically identical, doesn't realy matter which you choose. AIFF is to Mac what WAV is to windows.
It does not have any bearing on levels, that is up to the *Track Automation.* If you have no Track Automation the files will be exported as if the fader is at 0 dB. ONLY when you automate the fader and put the track in *Read mode* will there be a difference, and only if you check the *include Pan/Volume automation* option.

Possible to use iPhoto 9.3 to merge iPhoto & Aperture libraries?

i use aperature to edit and organize. i'd like to export certain projects as individual libraries so that i can send to family members (via shared dropbox folder) so they can easily add to their iPhoto library without having to re-organize, assign faces, locations, etc.
i know it's now possible to do this aperture 3.3 [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5296], however who i'd like to send to only use iPhoto. Any ideas or workarounds?

No. Importing Libraries as projects are Aperture only features.
However, they could use the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Libraries.

Merge Two Macbook iPhoto libraries Onto 1 External HD

Hi. I have backed up my iPhoto library from what I'll call MacBook "a" onto a 1tb external hard drive. I did this buy dragging the iPhoto icon over. It worked.
I also have a very small iPhoto library on Macbook "b." I would like to merge this Macbook "b" library onto the same external hard drive. When I have tried exporting the files from macbook b, however, they photos are copying to the hard drive, but not to the iPhoto library.
Is there a way to merge two distinct iPhoto libraries, from two distinct computers onto 1 external hard drive?
Thanks.
John.

If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager

Exchange 2010 Outlook 2010 Merge all Mail to one folder

I am working on importing all mail from old employees to a single mailbox to be uploaded to a third party for archiving. I am exporting the boxes to PSTs and then to the archive mailbox. Is there a way to merge all mail form all folders into the root of
the inbox? As of now I have to click on every folder and move mail to the inbox and then delete the old folder.......There is a LOT of mailboxes....... I was not able to find a camlet to sub of a camlet to do this am I missing something? Or is there a script
to run against the mailbox after the mail is imported to move it all to the inbox?
Thanks in advance.
TOGG MAN

Well I do have a journal so all email is copied but what I am working on are old boxes that were here before this archive was implemented. I DID how ever figure a way to do this in outlook. I created a RULE to move all emails to the Inbox! So simple
I feel stupid! It can take a while but so what it is automatic and all I have to do is dump PSTs into the box and run the rule and done!
Thanks Ed for the time.

Merging iPhoto 6 libraries with iPhoto 11

I have a MacbookPro running OS10.4.11 with iPhoto 6 and just bought a new iMac with OS10.7.3 with iPhoto 11.
I currently have iPhoto Library Manger v3.73 on both machines. I also have three iPhoto Libraries set up - two libraries are on an external hard drive - "2006-2007" and "2008-2010", and the 3rd library, "2011-2012", is on my laptop.
When I bought the new iMac, the Apple Store geniuses were able to move my 2011-2012 library from my laptop to my iMac. Unfortunately, they refused to merge/move my other two libraries that I have on my external drive.
What I'd like to do is merge all three iPhoto libraries together into one library on my iMac. What is the best way to do this? Please give me step-by-step instructions, I'm a duffus when it comes to 'puters! :)
thank you very much in advance!

your need to have good backujp of all of your iPhoto libraries and then convert each one to the latest version - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library option to select, convert and open each library
Then use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the libraries

Best way to integrate all services

TO ALL:
Please Help me figure this mess out.
We use the following services for our business
Windows InTune
Office 365
SQL Azure
Dynamic CRM Online
I would like to (hopefully) combine all administration functions and portals of these sites. Although I am running dated Server OS's (mostly server 2003 R2) I am hoping to upgrade to 2012 this calendar year. That is why I have not looked into
all the AD sync services at this time.
Hopefully someone has gone through this - and can advise the best way to merge all the information together.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Merging of multiple aperture libraries into one master library

Over the years, due to limited disk space on my Mac, I ended up having now 3 aperture libraries in 3 separate external hard drive, totaling between he 3 libraries over 2TB of photo storage. I just purchased an additional 4TB external drive (my 4th external hard drive from Lacie) to put ALL my separate Aperture libraries into ONE (1) master Aperture library. I would like to know if anyone could help me with a set of step by step instructions to MERGE my 3 separate Aperture libraries into ONE (1) MASTER library on my newly purchased 4TB external drive. I've looked online and found several articles dealing with merging libraries from multiple computers. I tried them all and was NOT able to do what I would like to do. PLEASE, if any of you have done what I would love to do or knows how to do it, I would appreciate your help. A step by step instructions regarding how to do it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! Robert

Thanks Kieby,
This is what I did: 1.) File/Swith to Library/Other/New To create a new Aperture library which I called MasterAperture Library. The new library was created on my new 4TB external driver.
2.) I then CLOSED Aperture and re-opened it using my default Aperture library located on my Picture folder (Aperture Library).
3.) I did: File/Export/Project as new Library. I chose my external hard drive with the filename: MAsterAperture Library, EXPORT.
The first time I did that nothing happened, I still had an empty MasterAperture Library files without any pictures.
Then I did the same thing thing, except this time, I high lighted my first Projects and went down to my items on my albums and then CTL-H so everthing would be high lighted (ALl my projects and all my albums). Then I did step 3 to the MasterAperture Library and I was able to get the MasterAperture Library as an image copy of the content of the Aperture Library located on my Pictures folder.
Then another problem came up, when I tried to replicateduplicate the same steps outlined above to merge my other 2 remaining libraries, I could NOT do so because the process, at that time, told me that the file MasterAperture Library already exists and if I were to continue, the content of MasterAperture Library will be replaced. Of course this is not wantt. I would like to be able to MERGE the contents of the 2 or 3 remaining libraries that I have currently located in different external drive/locations into the file MasterAperture Library located on my 4TB external drive, and do so, if possible, without too many duplications (if possible, because if I have to remove duplicated projects/albums/photos later, I am willing to do so)!. By the way, I've read the Aperture userguide more than once and have tried the approaches suggested in the guide without succes yet. Thanks again for your kind help. Regards, Bob

Merging hard drives with similar libraries

Hello,
I have two external hard drives with very similar iTunes libraries. The older one has some albums that the newer one does not, the new one has more albums from some of the artists as well as new artists. I have tried moving the files before and ended up loosing a lot of content. What is the best way to merge all of the music onto one hard drive while ensuring that a file with more information isn't being overwritten by a file with less information with the same name?

Hello
The best way to handle this is to open the iTunes library that you want to use. Once that is done, then just import all the media to this library by dragging it on top of iTunes. Once that is done, take a look at the last article below to walk you through remove any duplicates and you should be good to go. Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

Is there a way to detect all the photos already transferred to double (or triple) in iPhoto, so do not occupy space unnecessarily? Thank you from France.

Look in you main photo library. Are there doubles or triple photos there? If so delete the extras.
All photos are stored in the photo library. When you move a photo into an album the photo is not duplicated. The album contains a pointer back to the original photos. These pointers or aliases take up very little space.

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A on a separate hard disk? I lost all my old messages in July, but they are on the hard disk. Thanks!

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A from separate hard disks? I lost all my old messages (thousands of them) in July, but most of them are safe elsewhere. I'd really like to put them all in one place, though!
The desktop (iMac) now has messages from July 2012 onward.
My separate hard disk backup has old messages up to June 2012.
Most of the ones between June and July are on a MacBook Pro which I bought about that time.
Is there a relatively easy and safe way to put these messages back together in Mail account A on my desktop again?
Many thanks!

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).
