My iMac has created different iPhoto libraries? Why and how can I bring all back to one library?

My iMac has created seperate iPhoto libraries for some reason. So now I have all my photos seperated amongst 4 libraries.
Why did iMac do this or what did I do unwittingly that caused this?
How do I combine all the photos back into just one library?

Your iMac has not created seperate ;libraries - that can only happen if you direct it done adn only you know what you did.
What are the names of the 4 libraries?
what version of iPhoto do you have? Do you have Aperturte? Unless you have iPhoto 9.3 and Apertrue 3.3 or newer the only way to merege libraries is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

  • All my windows live messenger contact have disappeared of windows messenger and appeared in my phone contact list on my curve 9360, Why, and how can I get them back where they should be?

    I went onto windows live messenger today and all my contacts have disappeared from it, but I also noticed that they had somehow now appeared in my curve 9360 phone contacts. How did this happen, and how can I get them back into windows live messenger and out of my phone contacts on my phone? This is driving me crazy, can anybody help please?
    My phone is the curve 9360, OS is 7.0.0 bundle 2259 And it was purchased Easter Monday
    Thanks.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • When i download the new update for IPad, afterwards my youtube app is gone. Why and how can i get it back?

    Please help me i use youtube everyday and now i dont have it on my IPad! 

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • I have a iPhone 4s connected my macbook pro.  I lost my all data (picture, all massages) in my phone.  Why did it happen and how can I get all back?

    I have an iPhone 4s and I connnected my phone to my laptop, which is a macbook pro.  This is the second iPhone 4s I have had.  The first one had a problem and I had to replace it which is the one I have now.  When I connected my phone to the laptop, my phone shut down and when it turned back on, all my information from the first 4s phone went to the phone I have now.  All the text messages from the old one, photos, apps, etc.  Now my information like messages, photos, apps, etc from the current phone is gone, and I need them.  What can I do?  How can I get that information back?

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Just updated my phone to IOS7, and all of my contacts have been wiped. Has anyone else had this problem, and how can I get them back?

    If someone could help then I would be very grateful, thank you.

    Hi Emily,
    Hopefully you backed up prior to updating? If so you should be able to get this data back from you backup.

  • Airport has a self assigned IP address. Why and how can I fix it

    Airport has a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. Why and how can I fix it?

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP.

    My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

    I also notice that each contact says iCloud in it twice, but when I go to iCloud.com, there are no duplicates either. Help..

    mdd770,
    Try Contacts>Preferences...>Accounts...remove {-}/re-add {+}your iCloud account.
    If that is not successful, follow the steps listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts.

    That means you really did not restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and try setting the iPod up again.

  • My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

    My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

  • Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?

    I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?
    And now anytime I am entering an ip-address I am asked if I want to download the file.

    It happens when the modem server doesn't send the file as text/html, but with another MIME type.<br />
    I tried the index.html addition in case the server might send that file as text/html.<br />
    If your DSL modem has a support website then you can try to ask there for advice about how to configure the modem server.
