What's the best way to merge 2 iTunes and iPhoto libraries?
I'm in nesting mode and want to turn my old G5 into a media server so DH and I can stop holding onto duplicate copies of every song and photo we own.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If both systems are running iTunes 9, if you map one compter's library onto the other, you can merge them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks, Rob. After reading that, I tried plugging in headphones and then removing the plug while pulling it at a weird angle. Worked on the first try.

Oooh. So if I want two libraries to live as one on a third computer, I'd just transfer one to the server-to-be, and then map the other one onto it?

Our wings are not tired
With the latest version of iTunes you set up home sharing and then you can look at a remote library and see any media files that aren't already present, you can then tell iTunes to import those files.

Either way take it to an Apple store.
Alas, I live in Iowa where there are no Apple stores! There is one Apple authorized place close by, so I'm planning to take it in.
I'm posting from my sisters pc because the battery on the Macbook Pro ran down all the way and now the computer won't start up at all, even with the power cord plugged in!
I am totally jonsing for it now!

Hey. New board.
I meant the power cord/brick, not the charger inside the computer. Do you know anybody else with a Macbook or Macbook Pro whose power cord you could test with your laptop?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Oh, Not having seen the new Macbooks in person, I thought the AC adapter was inside the unit. Now that you have pointed it out, I sometimes forget that they've slimmed down laptops/notebooks to the point that they no longer can have everything inside.
Interesting. I need to see one up close. I feel like my advice is not unlike telling someone with tire trouble to go to a cooper to replace your wagon wheel.
