Switching between multiple libraries

So heres the deal. I have a 30G Video and my father has a 30G Video also. He likes his music the way it is and I do too. I have heard that you can create multiple libraries so you dont have to create different Login names (windows, we both share one computer.) So the thing is, how do you switch between those libraries? I tried just opening the library but all that does is add my library to the current one.
How can I swith between multiple libraries with ease and without messing any of the music in them up.

I downloaded a program that allows me to use it, thanks

What is the difference between switching between Iphoto libraries.....

...using iphoto and iphoto08? I ask because right now I have iphoto (what ever the latest before 08) i have so many photos i had to add some libraries, which by the way was not easy. Then to switch between libraries i have to close iphoto hold options button and click on iphoto then it tells me to choose a libary. When i try to choose it does not show all of my libraries. I also don't think I can have mulitipal libraries open at the same time. With iphoto 08 can I have more than one open and is it easier to find libraries and switch between them? Please help. I have quit using my iphoto be cause i am so frusterated!

mel8502:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As LH recommended the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you quickly and easily move between multiple libraries. I use iPLM to manage over 15 libraries and can move between them in a flash like this. Once you add a library to iPLM you can just use iPLM to open that library without having to go thru the Option key method and trying to remember where the library is located. Much faster with iPLM.
If you need to copy photos between libraries and keep the keywords and comments intact you can with the paid version of iPLM.
I do have one library that's 20,000+ photos in size and don't have any problems with it. However, you should have a backup plan for your libraries.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Fastest way you switch between multiple images (CS3) ?

I'm originally a Fireworks user (from 2001) and am starting to learn Photoshop as it is in my CS3 set and it's superiority in image editing.
BUT, I was suprised/shocked/P.O.-ed to notice Photoshop doesn't have tabs to easily switch between images like Fireworks has had for the last 7 years.
(Yes, I realize CS4 has that option now, but I'm not willing to dole out another $600 bucks for another upgrade )
Anyway, enough ********.
My question is:
"Can you tell me how you switch between multiple images opened in Photoshop CS3?"
I'm assuming there must be a keyboard shortcut I can't find, or something besides having to shrink down the images and routing through them . . .
Thank you for your time and help,
Brad

Hi again My,
Thanks for the reply on my other post as well.
Ctrl+Tab
Got it. Thank you.
Quick and easy enough. I'm happy :-)

Switching between multiple input languages.

I use English, Korean and Google Japanese. I used to use Windows with the same set of languages and it was even more difficult than in OS X, because each IME may have multiple languages (for example, Korean IME has both Korean and English mode). Now in OS X it is better than Windows because each IME has only single language, but still there are some troubles.
I use long command + shift. It shows the list in the middle of the screen, but the order is change depending on the current IME. And it only has text, no flag icon, so it is difficult to get the IME I want without carefully watching the screen.
It looks like OS X does not support assinging a shortcut for each langauge. For example, if I could assign F1 for English, F2 for Korean and F3 for Japanese it would be much easier. Or if only the popup language screen had flag icons...
Is there any third-party app that helps switching between multiple IMEs?

If you stop holding down the keys so long, the list should not appear. Instead, use the flag icons at the top right of the screen to tell which keyboard is active. If you don't see those icons, go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar.
I don't know of any way to use keyboard shortcuts in general for this, but the app Nisus Writer has preference settings that let you set that up for that app.

Switching between multiple tabs?

I am currently running Safari 3.2.1, haven't updated to 4 yet...Does anyone know a keyboard shortcut to switch between multiple tabs? Like you can "command+tab" to switch between multiple applications...If I have 2,3,4, etc tabs open in a single window, is there a command to switch between those multiple tabs without using my mouse???

Simpatico wrote:
it´s such a pity that Safari cannot abide by industry practice (IE, Chrome, Firefox) some command key + no of tab, instead of associating that to bookmarks.
What happens after 9 tabs? I regularly have 15+ open.

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

Switching between multiple desktops while using VNC

Hi All,
Encountering a minor inconvenience with switching between desktops while VNC-ing. I frequently telecommute and VNC into my work imac, which has parallels + windows 7 installed. My personal machine is a retina macbook pro, and both my macbook and the imac have the newest mavericks installed. I will frequently have multiple desktops open on my imac, but I find that when I am VNC-ing into the imac and then open up parallels in a full window that I am then unable to switch back to my other OS X desktops unless I completely shutdown my windows VM. Normally hotkeys works for me to switch between desktops (and still works when switching from OS X window to OS X window), but it just doesn't do the trick here. I know could just configure my imac so that parallels doesn't open up in full screen mode, which would solve the issue, but I feel like there's gotta be a way to switch desktops while VNC-ing! All tips appreciated!
Thanks,
KP

Hi,
This is possible using access restrictions in Universe designer based on user login.
For eg. there is user A,B and C and three connections C1,C2 and C3.
In Manage access restrictions you have to create a three restrictions(R1,R2 and R3): one using C1,second C2 and third C3.
Apply these three restrictions to corresponding to the users. i.e. R1-->A,R2-->B and R3-->C.
So based on user login the instance will be used for same report.
In IDT , I think this can be done using Data Level Security, but the concept wil be same.
Thanks

Switching between multiple takes?

Hi,
I am having a problem. I am recording multiple passes of drum tracks on top of each other. Is there any way to switch between them, so I can compare? I cannot figure this out. Any help? Thanks.

I'll second mr loops suggestion of using folders. It's absolutely the best way to take advantage of the multiple tracks in Logic, while maintaining some form of organization.
Especially when a typical drum tracking session can range from 8 to as many as 16 (or God forbid more) tracks, per take.
I like to throw take one into a folder, name it take 1, and even color code the folder. So now, all the drum tracks within that folder have taken on that color.
Record take 2, pack those tracks into a folder, name it "Take 2", and color that folder something different.
After you have recorded all your takes (for sanity's sake, let's say there's 4 takes). You can then make cuts on all those folders, over the various sections of the song, and place all the different sections of the different takes into a "Master Folder".
When you find the various sections from the various takes that you want to use, simply merge that master folder. Then, when you double click into that folder, you'll see all the various colored tracks, from the multiple takes, that were used to make the final comp.
From within this folder, you can add your cross fades, and fine tune your edit points.
Lastly, when your satisfied with it all, you can utilize the "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" function. Since you're doing this from within the folder, only those tracks will be exported.
You then have continuous audio files to bring back into the song, if you prefer to work that way. You can always keep the original folder takes around, should you later decide to re-address a section.

How to switch between different libraries for different iPods?

Hi,
I succesfully created two separate iTunes libraries on my computer (windows XP) for the iPods of me and my girlfriend. But, how can we switch easily back and forth between the different libraries?
The suggested option on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 'method three' and bullet '13' does not appear / work....
Regards,
Roy

thanx for replying so fast.
No problem, Roy. : - )
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you this time. : - (
i'd like to know how i can switch between libraries without closing down iTunes.
Unfortunately you can only choose your Library at startup. So the only way to switch Libraries is to close iTunes ...
You might want to let Apple know your thoughts on the matter by submitting this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Switch between multiple quicktime movies on a single page

I want them to play in a single window but use clickable links to switch between .mov files. I am working in DW CS5.

It depends on the code you are using to play the movies but it could be done with javascript. Although unless you are streaming the Quicktime movies, like a youtube, you will be forcing the user to download all the movies to load the page. If they are not setup to stream then you might want to load a separate page for each movie. If you show us the code you are currently using to play the movie we can help you through the process.

Why does my screen blank and need to be refreshed when I switch between multiple open tabs and is there a fix to this?

If I have one tab open at a site, and then open a new tab to a different website, when I click back on my other tab the screen is a blank gray color and I have to refresh it to get the site back. This happens almost every time I switch between my open tabs, no matter which tab I am going back to. I am not having this problem in any other browsers. This has only started happening in the last couple of months and it has gotten really annoying. Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Crystal Reports - Switch between multiple databases at runtime (esp. DB2)

Hi,
we are currently developing a reporting application in .NET (C#) with an integrated Crystal Viewer. We want to be able to change the databse dynamically at runtime, especially between different DBMS.
We encountered no problems when switching between a SQL Server and an Oracle DB, but we ran into big trouble if trying to connect to a DB2 db.
In the report itself we have a SQL Server connection defined that is used during the design phase.
In our application we change the connection at runtime using the following code:
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
ReportDocument document = new ReportDocument();
document.Load("<<path>>");
Tables tables = document.Database.Tables;
foreach (Table t in tables)
    ConnectionInfo info = new ConnectionInfo();
    info.UserID = "<UserId>";
    info.Password = "<Password>";
    info.ServerName = "<DSN of DB2 DB>";
    info.DatabaseName = "<DB2 DB Alias>";
    TableLogOnInfo tableInfo = t.LogOnInfo;
    tableInfo.ConnectionInfo = info;
    t.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableInfo);
// ... Setting parameter values ...
viewer.ReportSource = document;
We also tried to add the following lines of code after the "ApplyLogOnInfo" call without any success:
t.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = "<UserId>";
t.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = "<Password>";
t.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "<DSN of DB2 DB>";
t.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "<DB2 DB Alias>";
Especially we are wondering because we don't get any error message. The Crystal Viewer just opens and shows an empty report without any data records. The TestConnectivity method called on each table (we are only using one table at the moment) also returns true.
Furthermore it seems that whenever we call ApplyLogOnInfo, the UserID, password, server name and database name is resetted to the values defined in the data connection within the report (SQL Server, used in the desing phase as mentioned above).
Any ideas, what we are doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Markus

Hi Markus
OK. Make sure you have the latest updates. First apply SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Than FP 2.4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100001024152010E/cr2008_fp24.zip
Next, open the report in the CR designer and enable the "Verify on first refresh" option (File | report Options)
If that does not help, export the report to rpt file format and try to view the exported report in the CR designer. What do you see?

Switch between multiple reply to addresses

Using Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010.
Would like to be able to switch back and forth between two email address configured on exchange mailbox for reply to address. We have multiple divisions and person wants to be able to send form
user@externaldomaina1 sometimes and
user@externaldomain2 at other times. WOuld lik to use Outlook 2010 to do this.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
From your description, yo want to send emails from
user@externaldomaina1 or
user@externaldomain2 as per situations, right?
I suggest that you use receipient policies to modify email address domain name. You can refer to the following steps:
1. Open EMC and navigate to Organization Configuration->Hub Transport
2. Select accept domain, new a verified accept domain named externaldomain1
3. Select E-mail address policies, new a email
policy, set the condition as specified recipients, add email addresses, select externaldomain1 as domain name and Click OK
4. Navigate to Recipient policies->mailbox, open any mailbox to right click Property, check email address and verify that the default address
is externaldomain1
It is the same setting with externaldomain2.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
