Quickest way to move albums between libraries..

I am splitting my itunes libary because it is too big...is there any way to do this easily...I figured I'd create a new libary and copy about 100 albums in..and then go back and delete them from the first library..
does that sound right..

If your aim is to move some of your iTunes content to a different drive to free up space then try the script Re-Locate Selected. Although this will work in the long run life is much easier if your transfer your library en masee to a drive big enough to hold it and with room for growth.

  • Moving Albums Between Libraries

    Hello -
    I am recreating my iPhoto library, due to a major corruption when I transitioned from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09. Is there any way to move my folders/albums from the old library to the new library?
    Thanks!

    Perhaps iPhoto Library Manager can help with this - or even do the entire rebuild for you.

  • Move/Copy between Libraries failing

    SP13 user attempted to move/copy between identical libraries and failed and they had design rights and the process failed.  I read need Full Control so I granted user Full Control to the both Libraries.  In fact I added them to an AD group that
    has full control for the site.
    Initial comment with Designer Rights
    I am attempting to move all the files & metadata from ‘HR Photo Library’ to ‘Employee Photo Library’.
    Both Libraries are the same & contain 1 special column.
    I have access to the Site Setting Management area where the ‘Move’ action is done.
    But when I attempt to Actions> Move> Employee Photo Library> Ok, I then get a Prompt
    “Inadequate permissions to ‘Employee Photo Library’ to complete this operation. Choose a different target.”
    They indicate still fails with following comment when they have full control rights
    When I Move/Copy, the columns are updated in the destination library, but the files fail to be transferred.
    Failures happen when moving items from:
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Same Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Document Library
    Cross Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Cross Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    ANY IDEAS?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that it failed when you moved/copied documents from one library to another with full control via Content and Strucutre feature.
    As you said you added the users via AD groups, please add the users into the SharePoint site owners group, compare the result.
    And in your reply, whether you meant the site administrator can move the actions.
    Please check if the link is useful for you:

  • Best way to move LOB between database

    I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4. Please share your experience what is the best to move LOBs between databases. Lob size is 40 gb. I have tried using data pump, and parallel insert with nologging but it is taking almost 1 hour to transfer 1 gb.
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    For data pump I am using impdp over network_link .Would be much more efficient to copy the file accross the network and then run impdp locally. Did you also tried also parallel impdp ?
    Nicolas.Thank I will be trying your suggestion to move the copy. Currently do to space issue I cannot try it but I have already requested for the designated mount point.
    I tried using parallel hint. Our sever had 8 cpu so I tried parallel 16. Although current parallelism was 16 ,
    worker parallelism was 1. They were only 2 workers and other worker was always waiting. In other words, the two workers did not execute simultaneously. So, I guess data pump did not run parallely.
    Should not more than one worker be executing simultaneously for it to run parallel? I did not understand what worker parallelism meant?

  • How to export and import albums between libraries in AP2

    In AP2, I transfer projects from my travel library to the home master library by exporting each project and then importing it into the master library. All objects created within a project will transfer over.
    However, I'm not sure how to export and then import objects that are "outside" of specific projects, for example, an album or smart album that pulls from multiple projects.
    Can anyone tell me how to transfer these sorts of objects between two libraries?
    Thanks

    Ian,
    So, in other words, you're saying that it's not possible to export directly objects (like smart albums) that reside outside of projects?
    I know, for example, you can "export" anything created inside a folder by dragging and dropping the folder to another library; but you then have to rebuild the library to get the new folder and its contents to be recognized. For my library, this takes too much time to do.

  • Is there a way to move photos between events in Search mode?

    I have just switched over to iPhoto on my new Mac (from PS Elements 5 on my old PC) and I am trying to get everything organized again. All the files have been put in Events, but not always theEvenst I want them in. What I keep wanting to do is run a search on file names (which works beautifully!) and then move some of the resulting items from one event into another. This doesn't seem to be possible, though. Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

    Julanne
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I completely agree with Larry's comments about Albums being a far superior method of organisation. However, to move files from a search you can use Flagging:
    Simply Flag the files you want to move then, from the Events menu, choose either: 'Create Events from Flagged Photos' or "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Events' as you require.
    Here's a tip - as these things are easy to make a mistake on: -z will undo the last thing you did.

  • Best way to move date between LabVIEW 7.1 and 2010

    We have a large LabVIEW based control and data acquisition system that for reasons beyond the scope of this post is at and needs to stay at LabVIEW version 7.1 for the forseeable future...  We are soon to add a camera diagnostic to this system that, again for reasons beyond the scope of this post, needs to be written in LabVIEW 2010...  The 2010 piece of code will run and need to receive some information such as shot number, when to trigger, etc. from the 7.1 side of the system...  Then after a shot has occurred and a camera image has been acquired, the 2010 code will do some on the fly processing of this image and within a few seconds will need to send back some results data to the 7.1 side... 
    The 7.1 code uses a tag engine approach to sharing data among different codes running on different machines...  I think now that more modern versions of LabVIEW use a shared variable approach...  But I need to communicate as I've described above between the two versions, 7.1 and 2010 (or it could be 2011 if that would offer some advantage)... 
    I'm new at this moving of data between versions like this so if something could offer some advice, especially if there is some tutorial information on this topic, that would be much appreciated...  Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer...  thanks...  bob...

    It really depends if your tag engine like communication approach is a home brown solution or something like the LabVIEW DSC engine. If homebrown and well written you should be able to reuse the client library part of it in newer LabVIEW versions without to many hassles. If it is LabVIEW DSC it may be a bit more complicated since the only means to share DSC tags in version 7.1 was as far as I can remember their proprietary TCP/IP tag interface, which was replaced in newer versions with he shared variable engine.

  • Best way to move data between instances

    I currently have a procedure that updates our data tables between instances... I would normally do a clone but since developers use this instance to do their work in, it's not a viable option.
    The past few times, I've scheduled the procedure to run via the Oracle Scheduler and it's bombed... This time, it updated 72/433 tables. I'm going to try and run it manually to see if it bombs again, but does anyone have any recommendations?

  • Best way to move files between FCPX and Motion?

    What is the best protocol for bringing files back and forth between Motion and FCPX?
    How do I save out from Motion for import to FCP? Is it with Templates?
    Whats the drill?
    I have looked at both the helps and am coming up short.
    Thanks.

    If you're simply working in generic Motion project, ProRes 422 Quicktime files are the best format for going back and forth.
    If you want to save a Motion project to use as a template in FCP X, it has to be one of the template Motion project types.  Title, Generator, Effect, Transition.  You would select these from the Template Browser that opens first when Motion is initially launched.
    If you want to start creating templates, I stronly recommend Ripple Training's "Rigging and Publising" video course for Motion 5.

  • Best way to move files between drives- Advice?

    Many moons(FCP2) ago I made the mistake of dragging files from one hard drive to the other. At the time there was a media manager that was supposed to do this job but I screwed up and subsequently lost the files and had to recapture. I just bought a LaCie External 250 gb drive and I wanted to speed up my three media drives. Each of them will keep about 15 gb out of 75gb. SHould I use the LaCie software (SIlverkeeper) is there a FCP Media Manager? and do you still want to erase drives after each project or does Tiger eliminate the need for optimizing? I know these are basic questions but I'm still a bit gunshy.
    Thanks

    And speaking of DisKWarrior - I had a panic with it last night.
    Had a fw drive with 10.3.8 on it - the drive was acting the goat and wouldn't mount, hmm I think, this is looking terminal.
    So ran DW 3.03 on it from a Tiger boot disc - no luck, error messages from DW. Cold realisation and panic slowly sets in. Then I try DW 3.02 booting off the Tiger disc again.
    Got the Panther disc back - cloned it all off. Whew.
    DW saves the day, again.
    First time I've had the latest v not rescuing an older OS disc, tho'.
    Weird - oh well, just thought I'd throw that in in case it helps someone.
    cheers

  • How do you move events and projects between Libraries in iMove 10

    I am running OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) & iMovie 10.0.5.
    I am trying to free up space on my internal 1TB hard drive and want to archive events and completed projects onto an external hard drive, which has a second iMove v10 Library on.  Under V9 of iMovie this function was easy, but I am struggling under V10.
    What is the correct way to move events between libraries in iMovie. 
    When I attach the external drive containing my second iMovie Library, open it I can see all existing events stored (by move) under version 9 of iMovie.
    Reading the Help (extract below) for this function it implies highlight the Event to move & then drag & drop into the second Library.
    Shift+CMD with drag and drop onto the second library at the library name level will move Events that are not tied to a project, but for completed projects (Finalized under V9 or shared for example with iTunes in V10) it seems these can not be moved, the above function only copies them to the second library.
    I have tried all different combinations of the Fn, Ctrl, Option CMD keys etc with and without SHIFT and the ones that work for this function only copy the event. I can not seem to get an event moved once attached to a project. File - Move Event will also move Events not tied to a completed project.
    I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events.  Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
    What I have also not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
    I have been able to move Events not tied to a Project to the second Library, then create a new project within this Library.  This helps with all new projects & future import of Events. But does not help me free up current space by archiving.
    Extract from help
    Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
             Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
             Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
             In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
             In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip:  To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
             Do one of the following:
    To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
    To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
    Would appreciate any help on this matter.
    Thanks
    Colroy

    Further to my original post below; I have done further analysis and it seams that if you have events tied to a project (mine are all finalised) you can not move events between Libraries.  However, events that are not tied to a project can be moved. Either by Shift CMD or by using File- Move event.
    What I have not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
    Copy works for events attached to a project. I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events.  Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
    Does anyone know how to archive (move) Projects and/or events in iMovie 10.0.05 under Mavericks 10.9.5 to a second library on an external drive.
    Thanks

  • Moving pictures between libraries

    Greetings, is there a convenient way to move pictures between libraries. Copy and paste doesn't work. I have tried the import function but the other libraries are grayed out. Any thoughts. Thanks

    put the picture(s) in an album then choose: File>>Export>>Album as new library. Then import that library to the library you wish to move to. You could just export the master, but you'd lose any work you've done.You could also export the version, but you'd "bake in" any work you've done.

  • Moving photos between libraries

    I take lots of photos, and, with previous incarnations of iPhoto, this was a bit of a problem. To get around it, I created multiple users on my computer, each with a themed library (family, travel, hobbies, etc.)
    With iPhoto 6 I can have much larger libraries, and multiple libraries for a single user. I have migrated my libraries (via an external hard drive) back to my main user, and open them as needed without a problem.
    Is there any way to move photos (original and modified, as a package) from one library to another? Or to merge libraries?
    I can export and then import from one to another, but I lose the original. Or I can burn to a disc, and then import, but this is time consuming and wasteful of discs.
    Any other suggestions?

    luba:
    Yes there is. The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you move photos between libraries along with the originals, keywords, etc. It's about the only way to do it.
    With iPhoto's new alias mode there is a way to have several users use the same set of source files but each have their own edits, etc. You would place the source files in the Shared library and everyone use them as their source files. FWIW I've created some Tutorials to assist users covert from a conventional library to an alias based system.

  • Migrate Roll between Libraries?

    I imported a set of photos into iPhoto 6.0.6 on one computer and edited them. Now I'd like to merge the entire "roll" from that computer into my main iPhoto library on a different computer in such a way that preserves all the "roll" attributes, including edited photos, original photos, and all metadata. (In other words, I want the result to reflect what would have resulted if I'd done all the work on the destination computer.) Is this possible?

    William:
    You can do that with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It allows you to copy rolls/albums between libraries (they must be the same version) while preserving keywords, comments, ratings, etc., like this.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
