Organizing in LR 3

Over the years I have used LR and then drifted back to iPhoto and PSE, but now want to commit to LR 3. I am combining several family members photos in one place.
My stuff: iMac 21.5 (3.06 Gh, ATI graphics), 4G mem., 1TB, backed up to 500G HD and Mozy. OS X 10.6.4; iPhoto 9, PSE 8 and LR ;. 6,000+ images in iPhoto; almost 25G of CR2 transferred from a son's HD for inclusion in family history. Can add additional HDs as necessary.
Question:After I move the iPhoto "originals" to desktop and import into LR can I place the originals on Mac HD/Decade/year/title ......
and also keep them in the Home/pictures/collection/sub/sub/sub ???? Would like to tag appropriately but keep "Picures" folder as an outline of activities rather than just years.
If this is somehow symbolic of some form of ignorance, I'm guilty .
But, will really appreciate advice ..

dj .. I'm sorry I didn't make the "intent" clear. I only have and want ONE set of "Originals." It has always been my understanding that LR does non-destructive editing whereas PS or PSE (I Use) alter the image permanently. I thought that as I moved out of iPhoto and gathered up the images transferred from my son's HD I should consider them for all practical purposes as "originals" and place them directly on the HD: iMac/HD/MY PHOTOS rather than in Home/Pictures and use that as the developed copies.
I strongly recommend you stop using folders as an organizing tool. Keep whatever structure your folders have right now, and move them to whatever disk you want them on, but put no more effort into adjusting your folder names and folder locations a way to find your photos. This is what keywords are for, and they are much more powerful because a photo can have 12 billion keywords but a photo can be in only a single folder. If you want to commit to LR3, then you should also commit to organizing using keywords and metadata inside of Lightroom, and not use old-fashioned tools (folders) that weren't meant to organize photos. New photos, captured from now on, can go into default folders by capture date.
Again, I thought LR used "collections" and by default saved its 'copies' to the "Pictures" folder; therefore I could name them, tag them and save them as developed images that, in effect, are kept with the pointer to the originals up on the HD. (And yep, I know it is ALL on the HD, in my case)..
As for additional work, I guess I thought I would, in the future, bring the images into LR from the card, cull, and save the originals to MY PHOTO Folder at iMac HD > Photos> year ... and then, after working with those with hope, I would save the "Final" image to the Home>Pictures>"major topic">"sub-topic">"sub-topic".
Not being a professional with the attendant large numbers of images/shoot (rarely more than a hundred) nor the talent and skills, I have and do enjoy the challenge of producing a few really pretty good pics ;-. The family "chore" is something that just got added and I will clean them up and upgrade a few of each situation .. where would you save those to??
If you are real busy - please, I don't want to impose, but really appreciate the help. Other than a son in SF who is head of Motion Arts (Stacks of 12 core Macs) for a large advertising agency I have no other Mac users and only the one LR Windows techie .. he has some 30,000 images and sets up very differently for a very different purpose.. if I use only tags I would need an index to the tags.

Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up?

Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up? And how should I proceed??
Here is my story. I have moved roughly 15,000 photos from 7 computers (4 PCs and 3 Macs - basically everyone's computer in the family) onto one external hard drive. The photos were taken by many different digital cameras, are sparsely labeled, and have the most random names and folders. There are a LOT of duplicates. MY MISSION - label and back them up.
The way I normally deal with photos/DATA is this: I plug my camera into my Mac and immediately think about organizing and backing them up. With "Preview" I look at photos (and decide which one I like), create a folder called "where-ever I took these photos" and drag them into that folder. The problem with Iphoto is that you have no ability to control folders, unlike many other applications.
For example, in Itunes you can rename an artist, or even an album, and it will automatically appear in an updated folder. If you alter a photo in Photoshop, it makes you save it is a new file. In Iphoto you cannot make the same "root level" changes without making duplicates. From what I understand, you can place photos into an Album and then export that album (which makes duplicates). Iphoto will rename each duplicate file and then place it in the correct folder. The problem here is I have no idea where the original is to delete it.
Basically I want to create folders called "Trip to Italy 2003" or "Rachel's Wedding" and place all the photos associated with that event in those folders. The problem I run into is that I have a bunch of duplicates. I have heard of a program called Duplicate Annihilator which has gotten favorable reviews. If I import them into Iphoto all the photos are placed in random named folders. I say random because some of the photos were taken on cameras that didn't have the date set correctly. Hence some of my photos will appear in a labyrinth of folders called "Modified / 2001 / Roll 17 / DCM482 / Image25874654.jpg"
I am totally willing to wipe my Iphoto library clean and start again if there is a way to organize the photos as described above. Eventually I will take these folders and save them on a data DVD.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

You do not need to delve into the folders within the iPhoto Library via the finder to access any photo. That is all done within iPhoto itself. If you need a photo for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access. iPhoto is a DAM application - Digital Asset Management, not a folder manager. There's a big difference. You can use keywords, album and smart albums to organize your photos.
If you still have the original files you might consider what I do. I rename each file with the date it was taken using the international date format: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg. You can download the demo version ofMedia Expression and automatically rename each folder of photos with the EXIF date and a sequential number. This makes chronological searching and sorting much easier both in iPhoto and the Finder.
If you want to not only manage the photos but the folders then Expression Media will let you do both. It will let you rename files after being imported into a catalog, move them between folders, add ITPC metadata to the files, create virtual albums called Supplemental categories, and much, much more. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, slideshows, calendars, etc.

Creation of context index on index-organized table

I encountered a problem when creating a domain index(intermediate text context index) on a index-organised table in oracle 8i.
The description of the error is stated below:

Ever since I updated to iOS 7, organization of my music is a nightmare. It is organized perfect on my iTunes, but will not sync properly to my phone. I signed up for iTunes Match hoping it would help and it only sent me further down the spiral.

Any changes I have made to my iTunes after the iOS 7 upgrade do not sync and it has even reorganized music I had before very poorly. iTunes Match made it worse. Now, I cannot even get into my music on the phone, it just tells me it can be synced from the Cloud. However, the Cloud apparently does not like my organization either. I just want the music on my phone to match how I have it organized on iTunes. This is driving me crazy. I am totally Team Apple, but this music thing is quickly turning my loyalty. My music is the main thing I use my phone for.

Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Midisport 4x4, iControl

The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
thanks

I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
So I'm trying your advice:
I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

Opening and closing folders very difficult while organizing projects

Alo,
after importing my iPhoto Library to Aperture, I'm working through the mass list of iPhoto Events, now projects.
Each time I move a project from the iPhoto Library folder, to a folder that I've created, the very quick spring loaded action takes over, and opens the folder I'm planning on dropping the project in, which, while useful in dealing with nested folders, this is not a preferred behavior for me right now.
Is there any way to adjust the spring loaded folder behavior in Aperture 3
Is there any way of opening/closing those folders quickly via the keyboart/any way other than clicking triangles.
Any workarounds to avoid having folders open when moving projects around?
I'm moving several projects at once, and will continue to do that to minimize my pain.
it wont be a huge problem once I get everything mostly organized, but I've still got a ways to go, so it's worth asking about.
thanks!

Use the Apple Key, to select two or more Projects, to be merged in to one. Then go to File>Merge Projects. Allan

I am having trouble with my bookmark bar changing order between my devices. I have them organized for convenience, but when I arrange them on one device they change on the others to a different order. how can I fix this?

I have 2 desktops and a laptops connected by Firefox sync which I set up at some time during the beta. I have several folders, dividers, and bookmarks on the toolbar which I try to keep organized based on their use (web design, hardware/tech support sites, personal, etc) but when I arrange them on one computer it screws them up on the others. I would like for it either to keep them in the same order on all machines, or at least have to arrange them on each machine separately without them affecting the other so they stay where I put them. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

This is what I'd suggest get your machines matched. Sync your machines so all data is on both. Then pick one to get all of your organizing as you want it. (or do this before you even setup sync) Then, when you do your initial sync from that organized machine, select: replace all other devices with this computers data. (you can also do that as Manage Account > reset sync.
After that, changes in order on one machine should be reflected on the other. Remember though Sync '''merges ''' the data from your machines. If you work on two machines side by side and make order changes on both without syncing either, once you do sync, Sync will have to again figure out how to merge the incongruities, which may not be what you expect.. Be careful, if order is important to you.

Moving from folder-organized photo library on networked NAS to iPhoto...

Hello,
This is a fairly broad question, I know, but I've been researching for almost a full week and still at a loss as to what to do, so I thought some of the kind souls on here might be able to cut thru the forest of info out there to help me.
I vetoed iPhoto long ago but am now interested in trying it out & testing it against Picasa. However, I have a fairly large photo library that I keep on NAS, and definitely want to keep it there. Basically the research I've been doing has scared me, with all the horror stories about mixed libraries and the dangers of referenced libraries (which is what I was thinking would probably be the way to go), so now I'm a bit frozen.
My photos are currently folder-organized, mostly by date, but the level above date is by major categories (such as child's name, etc). I realize the date organization becomes redundant if I migrated to iPhoto, and even the categories seem redundant too if I can tag them all instead, etc.
The Picasa part was pretty easy, since I can just point it to the externally stored library and it does the rest, not moving anything. That part of Picasa is brilliant and makes a strong argument for going that route. My big hangup with it is the lack of nested collections - particularly in the web environment. The organizational aspects of Picasa seem a bit lackluster - and iPhoto sounds to be pretty good at that.
But with iPhoto, I'm having trouble deciding how to structure things and get started. I've read up on moving an existing iPhoto library to an external drive, but my impression is that to achieve what I'm trying to, I would need to import the entire library into local iPhoto library FIRST, then go backwards and migrate that iPhoto libary back onto NAS - which would then be a duplicate of the entire library since I'd be leaving the original intact to continue using with Picasa. Is that indeed the way to do it? I'm a little worried about ending up with an undifferentiated mass of 50+ Gigs of pics in iPhoto that i'd then need to go thru individually to tag (a monstrous task), as opposed to, say, having the names of folders turned into tags on all the pics within those folders (wishful thinking?).
To complete the picture of my situation for whoever may be kind enough to read all this, we have an iMac & a MBP, and would love to be able to share the NAS library on our respective iPhotos, and be able to keep "sync'd" up to what the other has done. From reading around it seems this is a little trickier, and the stuff I've been seeing about speed issues with WiFi-connected NAS libraries is not making me any more comfortable.
I was somehow able to rig just this situation up for iTunes (the library for which is shared & kept on NAS), which works pretty good (although I'm now concerned that that is also a 'referenced library' and liable to the same horror stories and cautions as external referenced libraries for iPhoto - is it the same? - so far so good...).
I've seen Terence Devlin mention a few times about using 'external managed libraries' instead of referenced libraries, but I'm not sure how to do that. The other vague conclusion I've come to from reading around is that I should probably use iPhoto Library Manager to achieve my goals here, and although I'm aware of what IPLM does, I'm not totally clear about how I would use it most effectively in my situation.
Whew - sorry for such a long rambling 'question'! This has probably been addressed elsewhere in the boards, but I've been reading for hours and can only get glimpses into a possible strategy for my situation - I thought just asking might nip it in the bud.
THANKS!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
A long question with, I'm afraid, a short answer.
a fairly large photo library that I keep on NAS, and definitely want to keep it there.
Stick with what you have. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. That pretty much rules out having a Managed Library on that NAS.
In some more detail:
My photos are currently folder-organized, mostly by date, but the level above date is by major categories (such as child's name, etc). I realize the date organization becomes redundant if I migrated to iPhoto, and even the categories seem redundant too if I can tag them all instead, etc.
Here's a fast way to tag them:
Start at the bottom of your Folder hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will import the pics and make an Album of the same name as the Folder. Now: Want to tag all those pics with the same keyword: Select all (Command - a) and apply the keyword.
You can work through your images quite fast in this way.
Alternatively, use an app like Keyword Manager which has Nested Tags as a feature. So, for instance, you can set a hierarchy: John is your Son so tagging 'John' will also add a 'Family' tag and so on. In my case I have tags like 'Seattle' that add 'Washington State' 'U.S' and 'Travel' to the pics. WIth auto completion all I have to type is Sea...
but my impression is that to achieve what I'm trying to, I would need to import the entire library into local iPhoto library FIRST, then go backwards and migrate that iPhoto libary back onto NAS
No, all you need to di is start a Library, then move it to an appropriately formatted disk. You don't need to complete the Library first.
we have an iMac & a MBP, and would love to be able to share the NAS library on our respective iPhotos, and be able to keep "sync'd" up to what the other has done.
Again, noting that the NAS is not the way to go here, you can simply enable iPhoto Sharing or use the same Library with both machines - very easy.
I know that these a pretty short answers, and by all means post back if we can be more helpful.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How can I keep my regions organized for arranging in Logic 9?

I just finished getting all of the loops/tracks I need for my dub tune, and it's time to arrange it. My arrange view is full of scattered puzzle pieces. The tracks and regions are named to help stay organized. I start the tune on measure 16 so that I can stuff all my regions in the first 16 bars and then option-drag or copy paste into the arrangement as needed. This requires tedious scrolling back to the beginning to grab regions, though. I guess the audio bin is an option, but mine is full of all these extra items that clutter it up and that I'm afraid to delete. Also, there is no bin to keep MIDI regions in. Ideally, I would like a bin with only audio and MIDI regions that I want to use for the song and only one of each (some of the files in the audio bin are copies of the same and are labeled bongo.1, bongo.2, bongo3, etc.) And some files in the audio bin don't sound when I preview them. Any insight to my problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I have briefly played around with the screensets. I was hoping I could keep all my regions/loops in bars 1-35 or so and start my new version at bar 200, then get my zoom levels and playhead position just how I wanted it for both. Then copy and paste regions from the beginning to bar 200+. This didn't work out so well because;
A. Regions are not pasting where I want them to, and
B. I must not fully understand how screensets work yet because they are not locking the things needed to make jumping back and forth easy (namely, playhead position)
I read the screensets chapter of the manual, and got no more clarity. Also read the folders section and that was also a bit vague. I'm going to revisit my Logic Pro Training books, folders and screenset sections, and see if that helps. Then I will attempt to follow your ideas as closely as I can and see what happens. SeanE. Man, I'm a little confused by the second half of your reply, but making Apple Loops might just be the ticket right there. I wasn't real thrilled with making loops just to add them to a sea of loops, but you're right. If you add the project name with them, I, in theory, should be able to have all my instrument and audio loops right there all neat and tidy if I search the project name. I will report pack with my results. Thanks again everyone!

Q for users of NI Komplete 5, in particular the B4 II (Tonewheel organ).

Hi all, apologies in advance for posting here; just haven't had luck with NI customer support or message board.
This past weekend I took the plunge with the $399 Native Instruments. I love it. Great sounds, etc. Only problem is, the B4 tonewheel organ will not respond to the keyboard of my MIDI controller either in standalone mode or in Logic.
It will respond, however, in Pro Tools 8. What's even more puzzling (to me at least) is that it will respond to the QWERTY keyboard, and it will respond to some of the sliders and knobs on the controller -- just not the keyboard.
I imagine there's some setting I'm not tweaking -- probably having to do with which of the B4's two keyboards are set to receive MIDI. I've read through the manual, looked on line, and queried NI, all to no avail.
Can anyone help here? Thanks in advance. The MIDI controller is a PCR 800, it's set up correctly (as I noted, all other NI instruments and other VIs I use respond without a problem.

James Holloway wrote:
Erik, let me ask you this: do I assign the MIDI channels in the "Settings" panel of the keyboard,
Yes. It is called the Keyboards' transmit channel. In general there is no need to have it on anything else then channel 1 - except when you work with multiple midi-controllers, or with instruments that are hard-wired to receive on specific midi-channels.
If you have a keyboard that you can split to send different keyranges to different midichannels, that would be ideal. You could assign the pedal, the lower and the upper manual to different midi transmit channels and key ranges. Alternatively, it must be possible to set up an environment for it if you can't split your keyboard. If you like, I will look into that too. No extra grovelling expected.
or in the preferences?
No.
THere's no need to go into the MIDI setting utility in the Applications--?utilities folder, correct?
Correct.
It's just odd to me that it works fine in PT but not standalone or in Logic.
Could you play all three manuals in PT? And what does your MIDI I/O monitor (in the transport bar) say? Are the notes coming in when you play the soundless B4?
If it would be possible for you to send me screenshots of the preferences and the settings for your B4 I'd be eternally and grovellingly grateful.
Well, who can refuse such prospect of Smithers-like servitude...?
Excellent, excellent... I'll put someone on it right away... me.
Later!
Erik.

Organizing multiple email accounts with multiple folders

I'm a new mac user trying to figure out this whole new mac thing. I've used outlook and later on Mozilla Firefox for my emails.
I'm trying to figure out this mac mail app since I keep hearing use the mail and the phone book apps already in the system, they work great. They seem to, yes, but I'm having problems wrapping my head around how am I supposed to organize my emails in a coherent way in this apple mail app. Like every thing else mac it seems overly simplified, not necessarily a bad thing, but very frustrating.
Here's the folder structure I'm trying to recreate:
Email Acc 1
subfolder-Facebook
subf.-Ebay
subf.-GoogleAcc
subf.-yahoo group1
Email Acc 2
subf.-Facebook
subf.-yahoo group2
etc, etc, etc...
I have about 10 different email accounts I communicate through and each of them has their assigned Facebook account, incoming yahoo group messeges, etc..
I started setting up my accounts and then realized that all the inboxes were grouped together, then all the outboxes, I saw one shared junkmail, cringed and stopped. I tried playing around with the smart boxes, rules, etc, and I can't seem to be able to split up all the inboxes etc.

SizzlingChicken,
This whole mac thing is taking some getting used to There are certain aspects I'm really liking and others that seem so strange.
What, you wanted to stay in Kansas?? When it seems strange, lean towards a default "Am I over-thinking this?" I can't guarantee that this will be the case in all situations, but many of the "Switcher" issues I see fall into this category. I'll try to throw in a few "general purpose" bonuses at the end of this reply to help you on your way.
I noticed the Sent folder is also split up based on the accounts which will be nice for since I some times need to back track through sent messages from the different accounts.
Yep. This is one very good reason not to move messages out of their default locations. You'll always have "To" and "From" info to determine origins, thread, purpose, etc., but there's nothing like having them organized the way they come in. Especially with the number of accounts you're dealing with.
Maybe you could explain to me the advantage of using a smart mail box?
Have done, I think. If you have additional questions, let me know.
I might not even need to use the Entourage
EEEEEK!!!!
Of course Mail works seamlessly with iCal and Address Book. And with the Finder!!!! I'll give you an example of the power you're dealing with, here. Open Text Edit (yeah, I know it doesn't make sense. Just do it). Begin typing email addresses, any email addresses (make them up, if necessary), separated by commas. No spaces, just commas. When you have typed enough to entertain yourself, triple-click the text to select it all. Click and hold the selected text, then drag it out to your Desktop.
Normally, dragging selected text out to the Finder creates what we call a "text clipping," which is like a portable and semi-permanent clipboard. This clipping can be non-destructively dragged into any other application window to paste in its contents. I use them all the time for these discussions. In this case, however, the Finder uses the "Data Detectors" built into OS X to make the determination that these are email addresses, and that this is a list of them. The resultant file, dragged out to the Desktop, gets a ".mailoc" extension, meaning it is a "Mail Location." Quit Text Edit. Now, double-click the ".mailoc" file. Lift your jaw, and close your mouth.
On to the bonus goodies. Perhaps the best advice I can give to you is to learn and use your keyboard shortcuts. The same in Windows pale in comparison. First off, those in OS X actually make sense. Generally speaking, your keyboard modifiers operate in a logical way: "Command" for issuing commands, "Option" for various options, and "Control" to control something. For the most part, this latter translates to choosing items from a contextual menu. It is the same as a "right-click" in Windows.
For now, let's just consider one function of the "Command" key. We all know what "Delete" is for. It is intended to be used in applications to remove text or items, or to backspace (which amounts to the same thing). If we select a file and press Command-Delete, though, we issue the command to "move this file to the trash." Give it a try. But wait, that's not all! You can also elevate the command, just like we "elevate" text to upper-case, by also pressing the Shift key. Move an unwanted file to the trash, as described. Then, press Shift-Command-Delete. Cool!
Now, try the same paradigm with the keyboard shortcut for "quit" (Command-Q, of course).
