Lookup the patch id of one library.

Hi, People under Sun Shine.
I have a question which may be simple to you guys. That is:
How can I know the patchid of a library? For example, I want to the patchid of /usr/lib/libc.so.1 in a box.
I am resolving a issue that the production box (Solaris 2.8)has a different level than my test environment. I pinpointed that the problem is caused by /usr/lib/libc.so.1, which is different from the test box. In order to convince my clients to do upgrade, I have to show them that their patches are out of date from the latest.
Or I might try to shift the library with the application, but I think my client will not like the ideas. Any advice?
Thanks,

Ye,
patchadd -p should bring you a list of
installed patches
In case you want to check specific binary
you may try this one
mcs -p <filename>
Here what it shows for me:
prompt> mcs -p /usr/lib/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/libc.so.1:

  • I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

    I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

    Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc.  If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

  • More than one library and installing v.2

    Hi!
    This is actually to separate questions, but the answers will affect both matters. I think.
    1) When I sold my Powermac G5 I moved the important tuff to en external disk. Among others; the Aperture library. I also have one Library (and the program) on my MacBook Pro, the machine I use in my daily work.
    Question: Is it possible to merge these to libraries into one? Or; can I find an move the original files from one library to another? Would be most practical! If possibe, I´d be delighted to know how!
    2) I just got version 2, but have not installed it yet, because I´m worried I´ll be dealing with a third library. This is a full version, not an upgrade - my job bought this new version for me.
    Question: Can I safely install version 2 and move my files into the new library and then delete the old version? I haven´t found any good info on this in the manuals.
    Best regards

    Same problem here.
    multiple libraries I need to combine.
    method on another thread did not work under 2.0 and Leopard.
    Any ideas? Anyone?
    I would benefit from a managed / coded feature to purposely merge libraries.
    or perhaps a small automated script that works under Leopard for users with 2.0 but multiple old 1.5x libraries.
    Maybe it could:
    1. Allow u 2 designate primary / current 2.0 library and separate/ secondary library, which could be in either 1.5x or 2.0 format
    1. Duplicate secondary library (as backup) and place in "Old Libraries" folder
    2. Update any secondary 1.5x library to 2.0
    3. Merge secondary library with your designated primary 2.0 library.
    Thus would be soooooo helpful to me, after working since day 1 with 4 different Macs in different locations for shooting.

  • We have a very big issue here, Patch Tuesday didn't work correctly yesterday, and the patches took all the free drive space away.

    Hello
    We have a very big issue here, Patch Tuesday didn't work correctly yesterday, and the patches took all the free drive space away.
    Before we started with the Patches, we had one Gig of free space on our hard drive, now we are down to less than 10 Megs!!!
    What happened is that the patches didn't work, we had to try them 7 times, and every time they created a 'temporary restore point' which we don't know where that point is.
    The server has crashed twice since, we were able to place it back online but we're afraid it will crash again.
    We have several customers on that server, we are very worried,
    Can you please help us?
    Thank you

  • Can I use home sharing to import library changes from one library to another, on the same computer without duplicating the song/movie?

    I have two imacs, each with multiple accounts.  The itunes source data (music videos etc) is stored in the shared area of one imac. What is the best way of keeping each account on each imac up to date with any changes/additions in the source data?  I felt that Home sharing could be a solution, and it works well by import the library onto the second mac and I can also see if there are any changes by using the "Show items not in my lbrary" function.  However, this only works well for one account on the second mac, for the other accounts it will re-import and duplicate the data . 

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

  • I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

    i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

  • I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library.  I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

    I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library.  I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs.  It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes.  I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this.  How do I get it to sync to my original library?  I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

    I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing.  However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work.  So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be.  On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
    Any thoughts?  Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

    My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways.  First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder.  Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file.  You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder.  Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
    Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
    I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't.  I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder.  Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space).  Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same.  If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer.  It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
    You could try this for a file:
    Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
    Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

  • Every song in my library is duplicated.  How do I delete the duplicates without doing one at a time?

    How do I delete duplicate songs in my library without doing one at a time?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How do I import folders from one library to another? My original library has become to large and I want to split it. There is not enough memory to select all the folders I want to move to create a new library.

    I also created a new library and tried file-import but cannot see / access any files in the original aperture library with that command.

    If you use the Command to Export Project as New Library, then such a Library can be imported into another Library with the command to  Import Library/Project.  The first such export as New Library can be the"seed' Library for starting the process.
    But the most important point is there is no performance gain from small Libraries where you think one has become too large, if the new Library is to be on the same disk drive as the original.  My primary library is 1 TB in size, and works as well as tiny test libraries.

  • I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

    So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste.  I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file.  Does this make sense?  Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod.  Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances.  With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries?  We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
    What is the best way?  I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit.  For simplicity sake.
    We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
    Thoughts?

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • More than one library (on the same computer) open?

    In the new iTunes 9 it is possible to access several libraries on my home network from the open iTunes window, which is really cool. I wondered if this means it may now be possible to have access to several libraries on the same computer (or connected drives) at the same time. I use 3 different libraries on my work PC and my mac at home and the process of shutting down iTunes, holding down shift/option, reopening itunes, selecting library is rather cumbersome. Having each of the libraries accessible the same way they are for other libraries on the network would be really useful.
    Is it possible?

    I know it's Valentine's Day, but before you get your wife fixed up the first thing you need to do is recover the deleted albums for your own library.  See if the files are elsewhere on your hard drive, or in the Recycle Bin.  When you find them, get them back into your own library.  Now you are ready to help your wife.
    As noted above, you can have two libraries in one Windows user account via the Shift-Start approach, but if you both use your libraries regularly, that becomes annoying quickly.  It is better to set her up with her own Windows user account. She can have her own iTunes library there.
    Get a copy of your entire iTunes folder to start her off.  She can delete stuff she doesn't want without messing you up.

  • Recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes show one music library at the top of Itunes and another bellow my device. The problem is that I can upload music to the top library but I can't move them to my Itouch librar

    recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes have 2 libraries one at the top which I can put in new music and the other just below my I touch device botton. The problen is that now whenever I upload music is going straigh to the top library and from there I can't move it to my Itouch library. Before I never have problems cause I could only see one library and not 2 like now .....HELP !!!!!

    I do not understand what you mean about two libraries. Can you post a screen shot?
    Maybe this will help with your problem
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from  iCloud, if that makes any difference.  Thanks. Mark

    Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.
