Transfering playlists between libraries
Is there a way to transfer ONLY the playlist information between libraries? I recently created a new iTunes library on an external drive, and then consolidated all of the music I had scattered in various libraries and other locations on this external drive. But I made the common mistake of only transferring the music from my original main library, so my old playlist information is stranded back in that original library on my PowerBook. Meanwhile, the new consolidated library on the external hard drive is now quite different and much larger than the original library. How do I retrieve the playlists without otherwise altering the new library? Thanks for helping!
(P.S. Is there any good resource or FAQ database devoted to managing multiple iTunes libraries? It seems like a dark art without a decent road map, and it's incredibly easy to get confused and tangled up about where library data and actual music/movie files are located....)
File -> Import and select the iTunes library.xml on the internal.
This will import the playlists. It may duplicate somne you already have, such as *Recently added*, but you can simply delete them.

Transfer playlists between libraries
I have 3 separate iTunes libraries on my Macbook for 3 different persons iPods. Is there any way to transfer playlists of songs between the different libraries?
If all the libries have the same media files with the same artist names, album, song titles, etc. then you can go to ...
File -> Library -> Export Playlist...
Pick XML from the pull down for format. Oh forgot to mention first start in the playlist you want to export before you go to the above.
once the playlist is exported, you can then do the same thing on the other library except you pick IMPORT Playlist... and pick that file. If the same tracks exist on that library, the playlist will be recreated on that library.
note: this only recreates normal playlists or normal (akak "dumb") versions of the Smart Playlists.

Transfering playlists between machines
My nano is registered on 3 different machines. I created a playlist in itunes at home on my comp and brought it to work on my nano. I want to transfer the playlist from my nano to my itunes library on my work comp. Currently itunes is not allowing my to do this; when I connect my nano I cannot move the playlist or copy the songs from the playlist. Is there a way for me to do this?
Dell Windows XP ProAuthorization is for computers not iPods. You can only authorize up to 5 computers to play and purchase iTunes store music etc.
It has nothing to do with the iPods. You can have any number of iPods using the same computer.
If you want to de-authorize your computer for any reason, see: About Authorization and Deauthorization. -
Ways to keep correct dates when transferring between libraries?
Any tips on how to export between libraries and keep the correct dates with your photos?
I am currently using iPhoto 9. I recently tried to transfer photos from an older library (2002) to a new library.
With past versions of iPhoto, I would burn the "old" - i.e. 2002, library to a DVD, open the "new" library, mount the "old" library DVD and drag the photos from the DVD within iPhoto to copy them into the new library. In the past, when I have used this method, the "dates" that accompanied the photos would be preserved (exporting and importing, however, would cause this data to be lost).
Something is definitely wrong, as my dates on the imported photos range from the year 2000 (before I even owned a digital camera) to 2008 (possibly when I upgraded the 2002 library to iPhoto 8). The mounted library from the disk shows the correct dates, however. The dates only go "bad" on importing them to the new library.
Does anyone have a work-around for this problem? Thank you in advance!Try using iPhoto Library Manager to move files/albums/events - including metadata - between Libraries.

Transferring playlist to new laptop from external hard drive and old laptop
I've seen similar topics before but none exactly describing my situation. I currently have itunes installed on my work laptop, but have the majority of my music on my external 120GB hard drive. When I add songs to itunes, I add them from the music folder on my external hard drive, thus the external hard drive must be plugged in to be able to play my music. However, if I import a cd it gets saved to my C drive on my work laptop under the itunes music folder and gets played from here.
I recently purchased a new personal laptop and would like to export my entire music library and all playlists from my current work laptop and external hard drive so that I would be able to have all my music in itunes on my new laptop without having to manually adding songs and changing the song info again. I worried that if I copy my itunes music folder to my new laptop it will look for the E drive (external hard drive) to play them rather than my new laptop hard drive. What's the easiest way to accomplish this task?? Please advise.
Thanks..Hi dalbatross,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Did you set up your new computer by creating a Time Machine backup and restoring from it?
If so, the Events and Projects that were on your internal Macintosh HD would copied to your new computer.
Here is another way to copy the events & projects to the new computer from the external drive:
iMovie Help: Work with multiple libraries
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or hard disks
Connect a hard disk that contains the target library to your computer, or copy the target library to your computer.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries at the top of the submenu, locate an existing library on your computer, 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.Note: To select multiple items, 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.

How do I sync a playlist between 2 computers
I have two Macs running the latest Lion and iTunes, and I have the same iTunes Account on both machines.
On the first machine, I have a play list that I need to get to the second machine. I do not want to copy all the music over, just the songs that do not exist on the second machine. I do not want duplicate songs in the library. And I need the playlist itself moved along with the music. How can I do this?
KevinWhat do you mean by "Sync".
The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A.
The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.
Putting the Library on an external is easy:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions. -
TS2972 How can I share playlists between two users on the same laptop?
I have a work account and a home account on my laptop in Windows 7. After the new version of iTunes was released this week, I"m unable to share playlists between the two accounts. HELP.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 - relocating iTunes' media folder to a shared area but leaving separate library files - extra tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17331189
-
right forum? first time here. none of the options seem perfect. so i guess this applies to 'setup.' i tried to describe what's happening verbosely from the start of a file transfer to completion of writing file to 2nd hard drive.
win 7 64bit home - i2600k 3.4ghz - 8gb of ram - 2hdd 1 ssd
I have this problem when transferring files between 2 internal hard drives. one is unhealthy (slow write speeds but not looking for advice to replace it because it serves its unimportant purpose). so, the unhealthy drive drops into PIO mode - that's acceptable.
however, a little over 1gb of any file transfer is cached in RAM during the file transfer. after the file transfer window closes, indicating the transfer is "complete" (HA!), it still has 1gb to write from RAM which takes about 30minutes. This would
not be a problem if it did not also earmark an additional 5gb of ram (never in use), leaving 1gb or less 'free' for programs. this needlessly causes my pc to be sluggish - moreso than a typical file transfer file between 2 healthy drives. i have windows write
caching turned off on all drives. so this is a different setting i can't figure out nor find after 2 hours of google searches.
info from taskmanager and resource monitor.
idle estimates: total 8175, cached 532, available 7218, free 6771 and the graph in taskman shows about 1gb memory in use.
at the start of a file transfer: 8175, 2661, 6070, 4511free and ~2gb of ram used in graph. No problems, yet.
however, as the transfer goes on, the free ram value drops to less than 1gb (1gb normal +1gb temporary transfer cache +5gb of unused earmarked space = ~7gb), cached value increases, but the amount of used ram remains relatively unchanged (2gb
during transfer and slowly drops to idle values as remaining bits are written to the 2nd hard drive). the free value is even slower to return to idle norms after the transfer completes writing data to 2nd hard drive from RAM. so, it's earmarking an addition
5gb of ram that are completely unused during this process. *****This is my problem*****
Is there any way to turn this function off or limit its maximum size. in addition to sluggishness, it poses risk to data integrity from system errors/power loss, and it's difficult to discern the actual time of transfer completion, which makes it difficult
to know when it's safe to shutdown my pc (any data left in ram is lost, and the file transfer is ruined - as of now i have to use resmon and look through what's writing to disk2 -> sometimes easy to forget about it when the transfer window closed 20-30minutes
ago and the file is still in the process of writing to the 2nd disk).
Any solution would be nice, and a little extra info like whether it can be applied to only 1 hard drive would be excellent.Thanks for the reply.
(Although i have an undergrad degeee in computers, it's been 15years and my vocab is terrible. so, i will try my best. keep an open mind. it's not my occupation, so i rarely have to communicate ideas regarding PCs)
It operates the same way regardless of the write-cache option being enabled. It's not using the 5gb for read/write buffer - it's merely bloating standby memory during the transfer process at a rate similar to the write speed of destination (for my situation).
at this point i don't expect a solution. i've tried to look through lists of known memory leaks but i dont have the vocabulary to be 100% certain this problem is not documented. as of now it can't affect many people - NAS's with low bandwidth networks, usb
attached storage etc. do bugs get forwarded from these forums? below i can outline the consistent and repeatable nature not only on my pc but on others' pcs as well (2012 forum post i found).
I've been testing and paying a little more attention and i can describe it better:
Just the Facts
Resmon Memory Info: "In Use" stays consistent ~1gb (idle amount and roughly the same when nothing else is running during file transfer)
"Modified" contains file transfer
data (meta data?) which remains consistent at little over 1gb (minor fluctuations due to working as a buffer). After the file transfer window closes "Modified" slowly diminishes as it finishes lazy writing (i believe that's the term). I forget idle
pc amount, but after transfer this is ony 58mb)
"Standby" as the transfer starts it immediately rises to ~2gb. I'm sure this initial jump is normal. However, it will bloat well over 5gb over time with a large enough transfer increasing at a consistent rate during the entire transfer
process. the crux of the matter.
"Free" will drop as far as 35-50megabytes over time.
as the transfer starts, the "Standby" increases by an immediate chunk then at a slow rate throughout entire transfer process(~1mb/s). once writing metadata to RAM no longer occurs, the "Modified" ram slowly (@500kb/s matching resmon disk
activity for that file write) diminishes as it finishes lazy writing, After file is 100% written to destination drive, "Standby" remains a bloated figure long after.
a 1.4gb transfer filled 3677MB of "Standby" by the time writing finished and modified ram cleared. after 20minutes, it's still bloated at 3696MB. after 30-40mins it's down to 2300mb - this is about what it jumps immediately to when transfer starts
- it now remains at this level until i reboot.
I notice the "standby" is available to programs. but they do not operate well. e.g. a 480p trailer on IMDB.com will stop-and-go every 2-3seconds (stream buffers fine/fast) - this would be during the worst case scenario of 35-50mb "Free"
ram. my pc isn't and never was the latest and greatest, but choppy video never happens even with 1 or 2 resource hogs running (video processing/encoding, games, etc).
Conjecture Below
i think it's a problem when one device is significantly slower at writing than the source device - this is the factor that i share with others having this problem. when data is written to modified ram then sent to destination, standby memory is expanded
until it completely or nearly fills all available RAM - If the transfer size is large enough relative to how slow the write speed of destination device is. otherwise it fills it up as much as the file size/write speed issue allows. the term "memory leak"
is used below but may not technically be one, but it's an apt description in layman's terms.
i saw a similar post in these forums (link at end). My problem is repeatable and consistent with others' reports. I wasn't sure if i should revive it with a reply. some of these online message boards (maybe not this one) are extremely picky
and sensitive, lol.the world will end if an old thread revives - even if for a good reason.
i can answer some of the ancillary issues. one person (Friday, September 21, 2012 8:33 PM) mentions not being able to shutdown, i asume he means stuck on the shutdown screen - this is because lazy writing has not completed - his nas write speed is significantly
slower than reading from source - the last bits of data left in ram still needs to be writen to the destination. shutdown will stall for as long as needed until the data finishes writing to destination to prevent data loss.
another person (Monday, September 24, 2012 6:31 PM) mentions the rate of the leak, but the rate is more likely a function of read speed from source relative to write speed of destination. which explains why my standby expands closer to a 1:1 ratio compared
to his 1:100 (he said 10mb per 1000mb)
we all have the same exact results/behaviour, but slightly different rates of bloating/leaking. as the file is written from from the ram to the destination, standby increases during this time - not a problem if read and write speeds are roughly equal (unless
your transfering a terabytes then i bet the problem could rear its head). when writing lags, it gives the opportunity for standby ram to bloat with no maximum except the amount of installed ram. slower the write speed, the worse the problem.
The reply on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3:04 AM has before and after pictures of exactly what i described in
"Just the Facts". Specifically the resmon image showing the Memory Tab.
The kb2647452 hotfix seems to do some weird things relative to this problem. in the posts that mention they've applied it: after file completes it looks like the "standby" bloat is now "in use" bloat. as per info from Tuesday, October
09, 2012 10:36 PM - bobmtl in an earlier post applies the patch. compare images from earlier posts to his post on this date. seems like a worse problem. Also, his process list indicates it's very unlikely they add up to ~4gb as listed in the color coded bar.
wheres the extra gb's coming from? likely the same culprit of what filled up "standby" memory for me and others. it looks like this patch relative to this problem merely recategorizes the bloat - just changes the title it falls under.

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
ColroyFurther 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

OSB gives confusing volume information when moving tapes between libraries
Hi,
We have an SL500 tape library as our main backup device. We also added an SL24 to the OSB domain for testing prior to installation elsewhere. We have an RMAN-FULL-MF media family, which at some point in the past had unexpired media in both libraries.
As part of the process of decommissioning the SL24 prior to shipment, I unloaded the volumes from the SL24 and imported them into the SL500. However, I may not have run the necessary OSB commands, such that OSB has up-to-date information as to where the physical media is located.
Our DBA has tried to delete some old database backups, and this has failed because the backup pieces cannot be found. However, we have a volume in the SL500, RMAN-FULL-MF-000007 which appear to contains the backup pieces (see 'lspiece' output below), but OSB thinks the volume is still in the SL24.
When I do an inventory of the SL500 I get:
lsvol -L SL500
Inventory of library SL500:

This appears to indicate that OSB still thinks the volume is in the SL24, which has now been removed from the domain.
Does anyone know what I can do to get OSB to recognise that the volume is now in the SL500? Do I need to run the 'obtar' command with the -G option to re-catalogue the tape?
Ultimately I like to see some documentation on how to transfer tapes between libraries in the same domain, and also between domains, with specifc commands to run.
Thanks.Hi,
Not quite as straightforward as you suggest, but we have made progress.
The volume has to have a rotation policy before the 'chvol' command will run, which seems logical. So I created a policy for movement of tapes between the SL24 and SL500, and created and ran the media movement job. However, I then tried to remove the rotation policy, but could not because it was associated with the volume just moved.
I then tried a 'chvol -R "" RMAN-FULL-MF-000007' which returned an error:
"Error: can't relocate volume RMAN-FULL-MF-000007, volume has no rotation policy"
Which was the effect I wanted really - the removal of the association of the volume with the policy. I was then able to remove the rotation policy.
Also, 'lsvol -f RMAN-FULL-MF' still shows this volume listed twice.
The upshot of all this is that OSB now appears to show the volume in the right location and our DBA was able to delete the obsolete backups via RMAN. -
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. -
Transfering contents between 2 nokia mobiles
hey guys....
does any one know how to transfere data between 2 nokia mobile phones ( 6680 and N70)?!!...I want to transfere all the text messages from onbe mobile to another.
thanksThe N70 should be able to install the transfer app on the 6680 I would think - it did on my 6260. It should search for a phone, then install the program like any other.
Then it just dragged everything from the 6260 to the N70, apart from the messages, but as ricksvill suggested, you can use Lifeblog for that.Message Edited by richcowell on 17-Jun-2006
