Two Instances or Two Projects & Albums Trees?

I've just migrated 30K photos from iPhoto to Aperture. The number of projects is insane and I have a taxonomy in mind to clean it up; Aperture will make it simple to categorize my photos for visual scanning. What's a challenge, however, is the endless vertical scrolling and dragging multiple project selections up and down the Projects & Albums tree in order to move or consolidate projects into folders.
What I want is to either open two instances of Aperture (ok, I know I'm using a Mac and this shouldn't be necessary) or to open two Projects & Albums trees so I can drag and drop one or more projects from instance 1/tree 1 to instance 2/tree 2.
Any ideas?

If Frank's good idea works, use it. I tried it that way and could not get it to work, but that might have been an update or two previous.
What I ended up doing was using a combination of
- newly created top-level Folders as holding bins
- labeling Projects with unique tags for searching (e.g: "{space}XXX")
- judicious use of the Library search feature (search for " XXX"
- using "Mark as Favorite" and then filtering to Favorites (then select and move, then select whole Library and "Remove from Favorites" to clear this grouping)
With a little bit of planning, these tools will let you organize your Library systematically and without too much senseless effort.
What I would love to see is an interaction between Projects View and the Library Inspector. One should be able to move Projects between Folders in the Projects view, and also by dragging to the Inspector.
Important: moving thousands of Projects is one of the most processor-intensive things you can dump on the database. Expect Aperture to take hours or even a day to finish updating all the information. +Do not force-quit Aperture+. Let it run, unmolested, until it finishes.
IME, the effort is well worth it. Good Luck.

Conflict of class-names in two projects

Hello,
I have one workspace with two projects. On project is "used" by second project (via add libraries).
Problem: both projects have a package with the same name (system) and class with the same name (system.Session).
How to reference from project P1 to (P1)system.Session and (P2)system.Session together? >import system.Session< is insufficient... How to extend >import< for P1/P2?
Thanks for any hint.

Hi,
As the previous poster noted the easiest option would be to rename one of the classes, otherwise you can deal with by using a different class loader. Take a look at the javadoc in URLClassLoader for how to set up on. This will allow you to load the classes into a different namespace.
This interestingly enough allow you to have more than one instance of a Singleton in a java vm.
Thanks,

Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

I sync photos from my comp onto my iphone 5 and it made my phone create two new albums which won't delete. HOW DO I DELETE THEM?

I uploaded photos from my laptop onto my iPhone 5 through iTunes and when I went into my photos app on my phone, I went into "Camera Roll" to see if they were there which they weren't. So I went to where all the albums in my photos app are and I saw that two new albums called "iPhone" (name of folder with photos in I wanted to transfer that was in my documents before I sync them) and "Photo Library". When I went into both albums I wanted to see if I could delete them, so just like every other photo there is a trash can on the bottom right corner but for the photos in these albums didn't have it. I then went back to the list of albums and clicked on edit, hoping the little red circle with a white line would come up so I could delete it, just like I do with any other album, but these two albums didn't give me the option to delete. I tried going into iTunes to see if I could delete the few selected photos from there but it wouldn't let me. I tried going into the devices thing which was suggested for iPhone 4s people but it didn't have everything else people told me to do. I am an extreamly fussy person and want them to go away but I just can't delete them because they won't let me. Is there anyone who has been through the same situation and ended up deleting the albums off their phone? PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!! (I'm not talking about albums we choose to make because that's easy and actually lets me delete them as these two albums won't)

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

Hi there.
Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
Thanks
-Dan-

Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum. There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another. The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings. You can control the output clips with the "work area bars". You can then add the new clip to the second project. The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality. Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Split Project in two Projects

In one of my projects there are about 2000 pics made in two different countries. Because in Places view I always see both countries on the map, I decided to split the Project in two Projects - one for each country. How can I do this without losing the Places assignments? Thanks!

Each Image in your Library carries its own Places assignment. You can move any Image into any Project and it will retain its specific Places information.
All you need to do is select all of the Images you want to put in your new Project, and "File→New→Project" w. "Move selected items to new project" checked.
There are several ways to select the Images for just one or your two countries. If you need suggestions, post back (the best way depends a bit on your use of Places and other metadata).
Generally, users have found Aperture works better with Projects kept to fewer than 1,000 Images. This was the case when 3.0 first came out -- I haven't tested any later versions, as I stick with the generally recommended "One Project for each out-in-the-world Shoot" and I rarely bring back more than 500 exposures per shoot.
(For what it's worth -- the human world had a very different level of material sophistication -- Ansel Adams took 12 plates with him for a day's shooting expedition in Yosemite. Twelve shots for the day, including mis-takes.)

Dividing a project into two projects

How do I divide my project into two projects so that I can burn it to a DVD? I have 2hrs 40 mins and this is too long. thanks!

Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.
Open "part 2" as a project and delete everything that is in part 1.

Two disc album gets turned into one album on iPhone

I downloaded a two-disc album to my computer and in iTunes it showed up as two different albums, one for each disc. I corrected this issue by renaming the album name to be the same for all the songs on both discs ("The Mozart Album" as opposed to "The Mozart Album [Disc 1]" and "The Mozart Album [Disc 2]"). I also re-numbered the tracks to make sense in this new one-album solution (the tracks from the first disc came first, and then the tracks from the second disc followed, as opposed to having duplicate track numbers).
This seemed to work fine on iTunes. However, when I then synced my iPhone to my computer, to upload the new album to my iPhone, two albums appeared in the music app. Both of them had the same name ("The Mozart Album") and also all of the tracks retained their modified track numbers. So one album was called "The Mozart Album" and had tracks 7-19, and the other album was called "The Mozart Album" and had tracks 1-6. There seemed to be no reason why the two albums shouldn't just be one album with all the tracks from both discs, as I had created in iTunes. I figured it must be something to do with the properties of the actual m4a files, but I couldn't find anything in the properties that would've caused this (I was looked for something like a "Disc Number" property). There is the fact that the original titles of the files had 01 and 02 at the beginning of each track to indicate whether the track belonged to the first disc or the second disc, respectively, but I don't think that the name of the file would affect how they are sorted in the music app on the iPhone.
I am at a loss for how to force these tracks to be consolidated in one album as they should be on my iPhone and I would appreciate any help that can be offered.

I checked for differences in the fields across all of the tracks and found none that shouldn't be there. The track numbering is 1 through 6 on Disk 1 and 1 through 13 on Disk 2. They are all tagged "of 2" in the Disk number entries. See below:
I also tried un-syncing and re-syncing the album to my phone and nothing changed. See below:

Pictures in two projects?

Hello,
It's taken me a little while to figure out how to organize my library and now that I've figured it out, I'm cleaning up the database and trying to make sure that the photos I want in a yearly project are all there (i.e., all pictures from 2011 in one project). What I've noticed is that even though I thought that pictures were only able to be in one project in Aperture, I have the same images in two projects. My question is, which one is the Master (I've tried the referencing feature and it often tells me there is no reference) so I can delete the same images in a different project. Or can you tell me how to figure out if I indeed have duplicates in the library and that is why the same images is in one or more projects?
Many thanks.
lsb

Are the duplicates the photos that say copy or is that a different version?
That will depend on your naming scheme when you imported the duplicate. But by defaultversions of an image will have "version" in their names. And edited images will show a badge, if you enable badge overlays.
In the example above the second image (from left) is an edited image and has the edited badge in the lower right corner. The third image is an aditional version of the same image - called version two.
You can enable the Metadata display from the "View" menu - "View > Metadata Display " and customize them (or from many more places).

Two Separate Album of the Same Purchased Album

I completed an album at a different time using my new Mac, and it comes up as two separate albums on my iPhone. Any ideas why and how I can fix it?

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
Same issue, new question - don't ask me why I did this, but while both Photoshop and the now corrupted file were open, I changed the name of the folder containing the file, then continued to save the open version of the file without first closing it and reopening it from the newly renamed folder. Could this have caused both files in that folder to become corrupted in different ways? The other file that gives me the "file is empty" error was not open at the time, but it was in that folder. I'm thinking maybe by changing the path to the files while Photoshop was running, that could have triggered this. ?? I have 3 1TB internal drives raided to read as 1 drive, so I'm really hoping that one of these disks is not dying on me as you suggested. I was also backing up an external drive using BackBlaze when this all occurred - any possible connection? How can I find out if one of my three raided drives (and which one) might be going bad?
Thanks!!

Linking Two projects in oracle projects

Dears,
I need to know how it's possible to link two projects together in one project?!

Hi,
Are you expecting project program related functionality. A program is a group of related projects linked together in a hierarchy. If you define the project as program then u can link multiple project under the program.
