Steps to take after option-click for second library for ex HD

Sorry to be such a safety nut, I asked this question in iTunes because the software iTunes library manager has an issue right now with iTunes 7.
I was going to get iPhoto manager but would prefer having the same routine for both.
I am trying to find if there is a apple link for instructions for creating a
second (multiple) iPhoto library. I do not want to do any kind of trial and error routine and lose anything.
I would like to make sure that all the prefs are there and that I can add songs to the second library only.
When I option - click a menu pops up stating create / exsisting , I hit the create and a blank iPhoto folder opened . Should it be exsisting ??
are there prefs that have to be changed
Will another menu ask where I want to store the second library ?
I can follow instructions but making changes on the fly scares me.

Gregory:
To move a library to another drive/partition just click and drag the iPhoto Library folder and drag it to that partition.
If you have two libraries and are using them both, one more as a backup and viewing older photos or whatever, you can put the new photos in your working library on the boot drive, annotate them and whatever. Then when you're ready to retire them to the external HD library you can use iView Library Manager as Terence suggested to move albums or rolls to that library like this and keep the annotations intact.
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.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File - Library - Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How to fix this.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File ->Library ->Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, the first being "Consolidate Files" & the second being "Reorganize files in the folder 'Itunes Media'. I am able to checkmark the first box but It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How can i fix this? Please help!

Well you must have made a mistake somewhere. The last instruction of step four reads:
When you've found your iTunes library folder, drag that folder to your external hard drive. This will begin the iTunes backup. The amount of time the backup will take depends on the size of your library. When the transfer is done, your backup is complete and your external hard drive can be disconnected.
Normally dragging content from to a new location on a different drive will result in a copy action which is what you were supposed to do. At a guess you somehow managed to move the iTunes folder. Then when you started iTunes it created a new blank library for you assuming it had just been installed rather that raising a warning.
Close iTunes. Rename the iTunes folder on the internal drive as iTunes (Empty) then copy the iTunes folder from the external back into the User's Music folder. Start iTunes. All should be well.
When you've made sure it all works please read my User Tip and use that method to backup in future. Since you already have a folder with the backup in place you can skip the "Make New" operation in the fourth step and simply choose the external folder.

Error opening data base for the library for Aperture

Hello,
I have been using Aperture all day and for some reason am now getting this error message when trying to open it again.
Te was an error opening the data base for the library "users/*******/pictures/aperture3triallibrary.aplibrary
Has this happened for anyone else?
Many Thanks

When I hold down ⌘⌥ firmly, at the same time, and with these keys held down double click the Aperture library that I want to repair, I get this panel:
Then, when I select "Repair" Aperture will show a progress bar and the Dock icon will stay highlighted.
When it is finished, the Aperture window will open.
When I select repair, it seems as though it doesn't run. I don't get a dialog box to confirm it's happening and on the dock the little light under the Aperture icon isn't lit, which seems it is'nt open or running.
After you select "Repair", does the panel close and then nothing? Or does the panel not react?
I still don't see fully, what is going on on your mac.
But it is a good sign, that you can create a new library. That suggests, that Aperture is running correctly on your mac, and "only" your old library has a problem. Try to test the new library - import a few images and try to adjust them.
Once you are convinced, that the new library is working well, you have three options.
Try "Rebuild" instead of "Repair".
Or try to import your old library into the new library (Aperture's main menu bar > File >Import > Library) - that is another approach to rebuilsd the library.
Or restore from backup. To restore from Time Machine, open a Finder Window showing your Aperture library, and then enter Time Machine. Go back in time to the most recent date that has a working Aperture library and select "Restore". If you have enough space on your disk, restore to a different folder and don't overwrite your current library.

Léonie

Error message: There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?

I have been using iPhoto for years. Today when I tried to upload pictures from camera, I received the above error message. I select "Repair", enter my password, and then a message "iPhoto was unable to repair permissions for the library" appears. I select "Quit" and it closes iPhoto. Quit is the only option. What has happened? I have tried to access the photos via other avenues such as uploading to gmail, and the photos load fine. I have about 28,000 photos.
I do not know what version of iPhoto I am using as I am unable to access the software. I have a iMac OS X (10.7.5). What should I do?

Select the iPhoto application in the Applications folder and type Command+i to bring up its Info Window. There will tell the version number. If it's iPhoto 9 or later apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
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 Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

11g (11.2.0.3) : steps to take after reboot of system (asm grid ...)

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to oracle installation and the likes.
I have a setup in which Oracle 11g is installed on a virtual machine (vagrant - virtualbox) where i can succesfully install :
Grid software
Db software
Asm disks
database installation
After these steps, i can succesfully create & connect to databases.
Then, we package the virtual machine. This serves as a templates for a new virtual machine i bring up...
Here it begins...
I'm trying to find out what steps i should take so that eventually i can again connect to the database/users I created in previous step.
Already i found out that i need to :
* init oracleasm (/usr/sbin/oracleasm init)
* scan for my asm-disks (/usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks)
which services should be started next (and how?), so that eventually my listener will be able to see again the databases/users I created ?
Thanks in advance,
kevin

In your scenario, I'd expect oracle restart to take care of that for you. See the chapter "Configure Automatic Restart of an Oracle Database" in the Database Administrator's Guide. Configuring Automatic Restart of an Oracle Database

Steps to take after interrupting Migration Assistant?

Earlier today I was 1/4 through migrating some files with Migration Assistant between two intel-based imacs via Wi-fi when a thunderstorm passed by and I felt compelled to shut the computers down. I quit Migration Assistant on the receiving computer first, sending computer second, and then shut both down. I have a few questions about this:
1) What complications might this have caused?
2) Is it possible to tell what files were transferred?
3) If I used Migration Assistant to transfer the same categories, would the files that have already been transferred be overwritten?

Possibly no consequences depending upon what you were transferring at the time. If system files then the computer may not boot.
You cannot tell what hasn't or has been transferred.
Starting anew and allowing for completion shouldn't present any problem.

Steps to take after noticing scratches?

I have had the Ipod Nano for about 3 weeks and unwisely did not purchase a cover for the gadget. Now after regular use inside my pockets, I have noticed many scratches on the screen. Are these normal? Should I purchase a cover? How well do covers work after the screen has been scratched? Thanks for your advice. Josh

I have another suggestion. Use a small dab of "Nu Finish®" car polish. You can get a 16 oz bottle for about $3 at Walmart and most automotive stores. Sounds crazy, but I've used this stuff on badly scratched CDs and it works absolute miracles. Makes your CDs look brand new. I've also tried a tiny ammount on the Nano and it restored the surface perfectly. I used it with a folded paper towel, but I recommend using a polishing tool for the smoothest results, especially if the scratches are more than just hairline scratches.
Oh, and it works great on cars, too

What steps to take after a fresh cmos reset? 970 gaming

MSI 970 gaming mob, I reset the cmos afterwards i go into bios to check settings, what steps do i take next? do i load defaults and save or can i just exit w/o saving?

Hi
Clearing CMOS is basically loading default settings. So you can either save and exit od change settings.
But one thing to make sure you do is to set correct boot order. Anything else doesnt matter much unless you do want to change anything.

I am not able to upgrade, on my Mac, to Mountain Lion. There is no option in the itunes library for me to download ANY apps onto my computer, only to iphone, ipod, itouch etc. Please help. Thank you

Thank you

You don't use the iTunes Store for your computer. You use the App Store. But to do so you must upgrade your computer to 10.6.8 provided you have an Intel model.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
             Identifier 5,1 or later.
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory

Problems w/ adding a second library for a second ipod on one computer.

I looked around trying to find an answer, but didn't seem to find anything that helped. Here is my problem:
My dad has an ipod and itunes. My mom recently got an ipod. I read where you can have two ipods on one computer with two different libraries (by holding shift when opening and adding a library). I did that. Now, only the new library shows (with the one song i downloaded) and my dad's library seems to have disappeared. Can you please tell me if his is gone, what i did wrong and if/what I can do to fix it.
How can I get the two libraries when I followed the instructions and seemed to mess it up somehow?
Thanks for any help!

To access the original library you need to hold down the shift key when opening iTunes and navigate to the iTunes folder, the first library should be there. When you are using multiple libraries iTunes will always default to the last one you had open unless you use the key command and choose which one you want.

After opening up a second library my original content is missing.

So my husband and my 10 year old daughter both have iPod nanos. My ultimate dilema is creating two files/playlits/libraries (whatever works) so that their content does not get transferred to the others iPod by accident etc. So I tried the multiple libraries thing (shift key while opening iTunes) to create my daughter's library. Worked great! But the problem is now my husbands library is gone. I'm so confused! Any advice on how to solve this? Would using one library with multiple playlists be easier/better to manage? All we use it for is strictly music files.
Thanks in advance!!

Nothing I can suggest without knowing what download service you're using. But I don't know of any that will work with iTunes for which you can't just copy the tracks to the other account and drag them into the iTunes window or use the Add ... to Library command.
_*The download service is MP3Rocket Pro if that helps any._*
when I do the shift key startup to switch to my husbands account it's missing.
When you look in the My Documents -> My Music folder for your husband's Windows account, is there an iTunes folder? If not, was it always there, or was it located elsewhere? If it is there, when you look in the folder, are the two iTunes library files and the iTunes Music folder present, and does the Music folder contain the tracks?
*I think I may have found the answer to my problem....(I hope!) I'm trying to copy his music files from our MP3Rocket Library to iTunes. So far that has worked for my husbands, now I just have to check it out for my daughters and see what happens. Thanks for your help. Hopefully I've found the answer.*
