Managing Libraries

When you create a second iTunes library (to manage multiple iPods on same computer) are songs included in both libraries duplicated on your PC?

Do you use the Option key on startup to switch libraries or are you using the Advanced tab in the Preferences to set a path? If the later, try using holding down the Option key on startup of iTunes and switch that way. It will ask you to browse to and select the iTunes Library file. Try it for each of your libraries until you find the right one. See if that helps.
Once you find it I'd make sure all the songs you want in it are physically located within the iTunes Music folder of the appropriate iTunes folder. Then use the consolidate techniques to get everything squared away and dump the duplicate libraries. Be careful... don't delete what isn't a duplicate.

  • BUG 10.1.3 EA   ( Manage Libraries and GUI Designer )

    Hi again,
    Sorry guys, just make the title more specific.......and hope that team JDeveloper will
    notice this....
    Problem No. 1, "Add JavaBeans" not able to list any custom visual javabeans which added using "Load Dir..." in Manage Libraries but no problem with "User" location.
    Problem No. 2, Create JFrame "A" with nothing inside, then create JFrame "B" which inherited from JFrame "A". Notice, GUI Designer will show an invisible JFrame "B".
    Thanks again~

    I'm using a Oracle 9i2 database.
    In this database I have created a package with several procedures.
    I checked the prerequisites as described in the help-files.
    I open the package in the editor, and start debugging by using the pop-up menu, choosing debug, choosing one of the package procedures, and adjusting the generated anonymous PL/SQL block. After clicking the OK-button the response in the debug window is:
    Connecting to the database DOSE_TEST.
    Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
    Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_COMPILER_FLAGS=INTERPRETED
    Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '<deleted this part>', '3339' )
    Debugger accepted connection from database on port 3339.
    Process exited.
    Disconnecting from the database DOSE_TEST.
    Debugger disconnected from database.
    There are breakpoints set in the package, so during debugging it should stop at the breakpoint.
    The package procedure is run, because the procedure inserts a record in a log-table, and after this debug session there is a new record in this table.

  • How do you manage libraries

    I have photos I would like to move from one library to another.  How do I do that?

    The paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager can copy an album or Event of photos between libraries and include both the original and modified versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, rankings, places and faces.

  • Which application is best to manage libraries? And how to split up a 2TB HD

    What is the best application to manage multiple iPhoto libraries?
    iPhoto Library Manager which is 6MG (costs $20 but that is not significant in this decision).
    iPhoto Buddy which is 28MG (shareware donation requested ($20?)). http://www.iphotobuddy.com/index.html
    Is bigger better or does that just reflect sloppy programming?
    I now have 14,000 pictures mostly RAW and my 320 GB MacMini HD is almost full. In fact I cannot download any more pictures from my camera.
    As a result, I have just purchased a 2 TB Iomega eGo Desktop HD with Firewire 800/USB 2.0 capability.
    It was $200 through Amazon and sits in it’s unopened box on my desk. It is preformatted HFS+ and has 8MB of memory cache. It comes with Trend Smart Surfing, Iomage QuikProtect, and MozyHome Online Backup.
    So I would like your advice on these questions:
    Should I divide the HD in two or more sections or use it as a single drive?
    Which software application should I use for my iPhoto libraries?
    One option would be to have a single library and put all my pictures (14,000) and movies on this 2TB HD.
    But alternatively, I could always keep the current year (about 2,500 pictures per 12 months) on the 2009 MacMini (320GB) and put older years on the 2TB external HD with each year held as a separate library.

    iPhoto Buddy which is 28MG (shareware donation requested ($20?)). http://www.iphotobuddy.com/index.html
    iPhoto Buddy does not really help with multiple libraries - it does pretty much the same things you can do with iPhoto
    Is bigger better or does that just reflect sloppy programming?
    No- bigger means it is bigger - it might be any of many things including doing more, different coding methods or even different compilers - bigger means it is bigger - nothing more or less
    I now have 14,000 pictures mostly RAW and my 320 GB MacMini HD is almost full. In fact I cannot download any more pictures from my camera.
    Then you need to act yesterday - unless you have at east 10GB of free space on your boot drive you system will run poorly and you may very well lose data

    Totally your choice - you might consider at least two partitions - one 1TB or larger partition for Time Machine and the other for data including the iPhoto library - this does not provide backup in case the EHD fails but does give you protection against other hardware failures, most software failures and human failures
    Which software application should I use for my iPhoto libraries?
    Your choice IPLM is the most recommended one but each person has their own personal set of circumstances to deal with

    Yes - that is a good one
    But alternatively, I could always keep the current year (about 2,500 pictures per 12 months) on the 2009 MacMini (320GB) and put older years on the 2TB external HD with each year held as a separate library.
    That generally is more difficult and less successful but can be done - databased are most valuable when all of the data is in the database

  • Multiple managed libraries: facebook issues (photos disappear)

    I reorganized my aperture libraries by moving projects to their appropriate library from my "working" library. Unfortunately, I published facebook albums from the working library. After I moved the projects to the appropriate library and trashed the corresponding project in the working library, many of my facebook albums have become empty.
    What's going on here?
    Would it be a good idea for Aperture to have facebook albums be part of a project (and travel with the project)? Why are they their own separate high-level thing?

    Hi all. I am reading this post and thinking why would you want one huge library. I'm going through a nightmare right now with a corrupted massive library that houses my family's memories.
    I had several time machine back ups. But it is only good as the data backed up. If corrupted then the backup has corrupted data. Garbage in, garbage out.
    So I guess I'm asking. If you have 50k pics. Ranging, for example, from years 2005-2012. In all one library. When you open up iphoto to work with current pics, why stress it out to also bring in 5 years of pics that you probably almost never use.
    Trust me. I love having all the pics at my disposal too.
    But I've learned over the last two days that this seems like a huge risk.
    If you have say 7 libraries ranging from 2005-2012. One of them gets corrupted. Only one gets corrupted ;)
    The others are probably fine.
    This whole rebuild and repair = totally worthless in my opinion. It not only didn't fix it, but it some now mysteriously added pics i previously deleted (like months ago)and rearranged other events. My library is totally shot. If I had several libraries I would be dealing with a disaster on a much smaller scale.
    I also tried to rebuild with iPhoto library manager. Didn't work.
    I'm a complete novice. But I'm sold on multiple libraries.
    And for what it is worth, I spoke to a few apple senior techs. They told me they don't recommend libraries more than 40-50 gigs? Certainly not over 100 gigs.
    Anyway I admit.... Part of me is also venting ;)

  • Single Referenced iPhoto Library or Multiple Managed Libraries

    I have a huge iPhoto library and I do very little editing.  The library is on a firewire drive connected to an iMac.  With iPhoto 11, the library has become sluggish (in addition to getting larger).  I like to have all the photos in one library, but that seems to be the problem.
    Having done some research, I am wondering whether it would be better to ignore the iPhoto file structure and make one complete "referenced library" or is it better to use iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager to cut up the current library?  Picasa may work faster, but I would like to stay in the Apple eco-system as long as possible.  If one referenced library is the answer then how do you safely move the iPhoto Library files to the new file structure without corrupting the files and/or metadata?

  • Need help managing libraries

    Here's my problem - I have different libraries for my personal stuff & music I play at my restaurant. I manage (meaning add to and delete from) separate files on my home computer (one personal, one restaurant). Unfortunately, my computer at the restaurant is an older iMac running an older version of iTunes and doesn't recognize my library file from iTunes 7.0.2, and I've made the mistake of creating my restaurant song database by starting with my personal stuff, from which I deleted many, many items I don't want played at the restaurant - but not by permanently deleting them! So, while at home, looking using the restaurant iTunes data in 7.0.2, everything is how I want it, but loading it all on the older computer at the restaurant, it now shows all the files including those I don't want in the library that I removed from the library but did not permanently delete. In other words, the restaurant computer can't read my library file so I've got tons of stuff I don't want appearing! What can I do about this (without having to buy a new computer at the restaurant - FYI I was told the G3 iMac I'm using at the restaurant can't run Tiger, hence my problem). Is there an easy fix?
    I'm hoping there's a way to simply export or duplicate only the songs in my library, thereby getting rid of all the deleted stuff that is still there and not wanted.

    See if you can get iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the problem library as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    It will leave the original library untouched in case the result are not what you expected.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Merging external managed libraries to one referenced library

    I tried searching for this with no luck.
    I have my main Aperture library on an external drive and have been using a managed library. I also have another drive with a separate managed library on it with older photos. My goal is to have one referenced library file on my internal drive and keep my masters on the hard drives. I would like to keep the adjustments and organization of the original libraries. Really, my goal is just to have my photos that are spread across 2 external hard drives in one library. It's about 2 TB's of data.
    I tried exporting the photos from one project of my external drive to the internal drive and unchecked "consolidate masters", but it still moves the managed master files. I'm starting to think this is not possible. Help! Thanks. (and yes, I have everything backed up)

    Welcome to the list. Make sure you read the [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] when you get a chance.
    What you wan to do is doable and isn't to hard. It's harder to describe the steps then to do it.
    In a nutshell you will use *File->Relocate Masters* to turn your managed masters into referenced masters and then merge the two libraries. The order you go in will depend a lot on how much free disk space you have on the three drives (internal and the two externals) and how big the current libraries are.
    If you have the space on the internal drive to hold one of the current libraries you could copy it to the internal and then relocate the masters to the external (less chance of needing to reconnect masters when you're done). If not hen relocate the masters with the library where it is and then move the library to the internal. Aperture Should still see the referenced masters but if not reconnecting them isn't to big a deal.
    Once the masters in both libraries are referenced you could merge the libraries.
    Don't have time now to go into more detail. If you need more help post back.

  • Deploying an Application with Managed Libraries

    Hi,
    I am trying to deploy an Applicaition on Oracle App Server 10.1.3.
    I develop the application in Jdev 1013
    in my JDeveloper descriptor, i edit the Properties - File Groups/Web-INF/lib - Filters, i deselect the Merged contents.
    Create a war file.
    All libraries that are required [ie. present in the list JDeveloper descriptor, i edit the Properties - File Groups/Web-INF/lib - Filters,], i jar them to create Portal.jar.
    i place the jar at D:\Temp\Portal.jar.
    This location is on the same machine where the Oracle App Server Runs.
    I log into the Oracle Application Server - Enterprise Manager, and Create an entry in oc4J:home - Shared Libraries
    Specify the Path where the Portal.jar exists.
    I then deploy the Application specifing the location where the .war file is present. - procedure is Deploy-Select Archive - Application Attributes.
    In Deploy settings, i click on Deployment Tasks - Configure Class Loading, i go to Import Shared Libraries and check Portal, and then I click on Deploy.
    I then get Deploying Application Failed with the following Errors
    Aug 19, 2006 2:54:02 PM] Exception: NoClassDefFoundError: javax/faces/FacesException
    [Aug 19, 2006 2:54:02 PM] Operation failed with error: javax/faces/FacesException
    I don't understand why?
    My need is that all Libraries that are required by the Application, I Jar it and place it as a Shared Library on the Server. So whenever i deploy an application it should include the shared libraries present on the server.
    This would ensure my war file is small.
    Instead of all my applications inculding the jar files in thier respietice war files, i would like to place the requiste war in a single place on the Server and link the application to use that shared library war.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I discovered that the path had to be
    within the site folder. Even when I referenced it, the images
    wouldn't show. However, when I placed that folder inside the site
    folder itself, everything showed up fine. For some reason, any
    assets must be inside the site folder itself and cannot be
    referenced if it lay outside. Oh well, it all shows now.
    Thanks.

  • Labview Project management, libraries and vi's

     
    The issue is that when attempting to manage multiple projects on one machine, the vi's are not calling vi's and libraries from the correct location. I.e. two copies of the library or VI on the same machine, results in undesired crosslinking between the projects.
    How do you force Labview to use relative references instead of absolute references?  How do you force labview to ignore vi's with the same name that are in other folders. 
    I have read references for the .net issues of using .config files to control the version to use, but how do you use the .config to control the location.
    HELP!

    eximo wrote:
    How do you force Labview to use relative references instead of absolute references?
    LabVIEW already uses relative paths for most VIs. The exceptions are VIs which are saved in logical folders like vi.lib and VIs which are saved on another volume from their caller. If LV is searching for files and having conflicts, the problem is not with that part.
    Based on your description I'm guessing that you're not actually creating full copies of your libraries. For example, if you have VI A1 in library A and it calls VI B and then you copy VI A1 somewhere, but you fail to copy VI B as well, then the new copy won't find VI B, because it's not where it's supposed to be. That's the point where LV starts searching for files.
    Another problem you might have is exactly that you open VIs which reference mutliple copies and then you get conflicts. For instance, in the previous example, if you open A1 in a project which already has B loaded, then A will now link to that B rather than the original B. If you have multiple such files loaded together, you'll get multiple conflicts.
    The main issue people usually have with this sort of thing is that this is meant for reuse code and for that people want to have one canonical copy that you can update and then all the projects get it. It might be possible to do what you want with something like svn:externals, but I don't know the details and I seem to remember people not liking it for something like this.
    If you really want all the files to be the project hierarchy, then make sure that each component uses only its own files and doesn't make calls into other random components, so that when you copy it, everything comes along with it. Also, make sure to have proper namespacing (either by using unique names or by using lvlibs).
    The other alternative is to use something like VIPM to manage the code that goes into vi.lib or user.lib. If you use the pro version, you can create a VIPC file, which is a file which contains all the packages that go with the project, and save that file near the project. You will still need to apply the file using VIPM.
    If you still want to have the code in the project folder, I would suggest you contact Jack Dunaway at Wirebird Labs. I know that he has experience with this type of setup and he might be able to consult you on how to do it properly.

  • Managing Libraries on Multiple Computers

    I have I-tunes libraries on two different computers that I want to manage. We may add music to each computer seperately, and I'd like to make sure that each computer is a match of the other. What is the best way to manage the music so that we can keep both computers current with the least amount of work? There are 4 ipods involved with the two computers.

    If you are networked between the 2 PCs, you can have one common music library and a shared iTunes library, that way there's only one set of files (less storage used) and one library that can be updated/maintained from either PC.
    To do this, I copied all of my music to a network attached storage device (a network share will do just as well) and did the same for the iTunes library (the .itl file). Then I used Tweak XP Pro and repointed the My Music folder to the network location for my music files (if you know what you're doing, and if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you could make the same change in the registry). Then in iTunes on each PC I used the preferences to point to the shared iTunes library file.
    Hey presto! I could then manage my unified 190 Gb music library from any of my 6 PCs, and could point my Prismiq Media Center at the same music folders. Now, if anyone makes a change to the library the others only need to re-open iTunes to see the changes. It would be nice if iTunes would dynamically reflect changes in the .itl file like a well-behaved networked application.
    If all this sounds a bit too much then you could always use SyncToy from Microsoft to keep your two PCs music folders in sync. That's what I use to keep an online backup of my main music folders.

  • Managing Libraries on 2 Macs.

    I have a 20" iMac that is my base computer on which my whole Aperture library resides and from which I back up my library using the Vault and an external drive. But I also have a 15" MBP with Aperture and it is where most of my images get uploaded first for quickly reviewing photos. I keep a much smaller library on it but I'm starting to wish I had the same library on both computers.
    Is there any simple way to 'sync' the libraries on these two machines? If so, how? If not, how do you guys with a laptop and a desktop manage your images between the two?
    Thanks for any pointers you guys can give.

    Interesting. I'll look into that. I suspect that requires two licensed versions of Aperture 3? I am currently running the same license on both machines...... which I think is legal.... if not I'll stop. I own both machines and don't intentionally use it on both machines at once. If I'm at home on my wireless network and have Aperture open on one machine and then try to open it on the other machine it will not open. So I'm guessing this sync process will require another serial number purchase. It might be worth it.
    Otherwise, I guess I could use the Vault on the external drive as a way to keep the two machines 'synced'. Seems a bit cumbersome though. Time to do a little more research.
    Thanks.

  • How to manage libraries with a new iPad

    We have two iPods, one iPhone and just bought a new iPad.  Should I create a new itunes library for the iPad?  Can I use the same itunes account for that library?  I don't want to be syncing music and other stuff to the iPad. 

    Any number of iOS devices can be managed from the same iTunes instance and library. Just indicate what you want to synch in iTunes in the same manner you do for the other devices.

  • Using iTunes 8, how to manage libraries for 2 ipods w/o duplicating files?

    Is there any way to load all my music into one library, then manage what is put on each iPod, without having duplicate files that take up more disk space? I am using iTunes 8 for Windows. I have two iPods, an 8GB and a 16GB, so they hold different sets of songs. I tried creating a second Library and copying the songs I want on that iPod, but that creates an additional 8GB of used space on my PC. Plus I want to load ALL my CDs into iTunes and occasionally change out the selections on my iPod...

    Just use playlists.
    I have two iphone and three ipods that sync to one itunes library. They each have different content.

  • Where is "Manage Libraries" related info stored?

    I would like to point multiple copies of JDeveloper at a single libraries configuration file. I don't want to re-select all those jars, etc on multiple machines. Can someone tell me where that info is stored? Do I just point all the jdeveloper instances to the same home dir? I would rather edit a conf file and point it to a central library configuration location so changes to libraries by one user effect all users.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    ok I figured it out. The files have the .library extension and they're scattered around a bit between different versions I've used...
    some were here:
    C:\jdev\jdev\system\oracle.jdeveloper.10.1.3.40.66
    some here:

    some here:

    now they're all happily shared in S:\java\jdeveloper_libraries
