Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

    When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

    Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
    These are the preferred network connections, in order:
    Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

  • Can you merge two apple ids

    I have two Apple id's. Not sure why. but one is for my iPod that was set up a long time ago and what I use for iTunes. The is for my iPhone. I want to use the itunes cloud storage so i can listen to my music on my iPhone but i'm guessing that won't work if you have two id's. Of couse they'd need to match. Can you merge two id's? I would like to simplify anyway and just have one.
    Thanks.

  • After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

    I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

    Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

    Hi there - I think I am having problems associated withg Cause 9 in that in google mail I have another pop email address associated so that I can send using this email address, but then I have both addresses setup seperately in BIS. When I receive a mail from GMAIL I receive a duplicate with "received by: unknown" in the header. I had gmail setup so that it would send using by pop email address as default.
    In your answer the settings for the two filters you recommend creating are broken links and I canot actually see them. What are they?
    Also What do you recommend setup wise with gmail and a pop account. Some people say it is better to get gmail to receive the pop mail account and run the whole account from there. Blackberry doesn't seem to like this setup very much. Should I completely dissociate the pop account and to try and clarify the distinction between the two? Or should I setup a second gmail account and have that poll my pop account and then have the blackberry feed off these two gmail accounts? The reason I am considering this option is gmail provides a lot of storage and online continuity and this would effectively persist my account.
    Your help would be much appreciated.. I have had blackberry woes now for over a month and I have spent hours with various support personel, tried deleteing and sending down new service books etc etc but had no luck yet.
    thanks,

  • When using the Pencil Tool I could see an outline of the pixel group - this has disappeared and all I see is the pencil - Why ?

    I use the Pencil Tool to modify pictures and drawings in Photoshop Elements.  Normally I would see an outline of the pixel group - so for example, if the pencil size was 6 pixels I would see the outline of the six pixels.  This allows very accurate poitioning of the tool.  All of a sudden these outlines have disappeared and all I can see is a representation of the pencil where the cursor is.  This makes positioning rather hit and miss especially if the pixel size is large.   What has changed - and how can I return it to the way it was  ?

    You have "standard" set as your curser preference. To change it Edit<Preferences<Display and Cursors.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Can you merge two libraries from 2 users on one mac to create 1 library?

    I have an intel based Imac updated current. My wife and I have seperate user accounts both set with admin privelages.
    The problem that I am having is that we both have seperate itunes libraries. I would like to merge both libraries into one, so we both can save to and access the same files in itunes when logged in as our individual users.
    IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The only way to merge tow iPhoto libraries is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

  • Can you have Two iMessage accounts on a MBP

    We have mid 2009 MBP running Yosemite 10.10.1
    The MBP is in my wifes name, I tend to use it all the time rather than the wife, so I use her user account rather making my own user account on the Mac, but do we have our own Apple id's.
    The MBP has never been set up to link up with her iPone etc, and as I do not own a phone (yes I know) I have had iMessage on the MBP logged into my account to use iMessage on it.
    My wife uses iMessage just from her phone, so we could iMessage each other form home to work..worked great.
    Now we have linked her phone up with the MBP we can now only have her account to work on it, so we are no longer able to chat to each other.
    if I log her out on the mac and log myself in on iMessage, we still cant chat to each other.
    So is there a way for us to both chat to each other, her on her iPhone and me on the MBP.
    Thanks for any help.

    Just re-thinking about it, since I have used everything on the admin (my wife) account, I have used all the folders, including the favourites and I need accesses to the applications folder, is there anyway to give it all to me on my own account, sort of mirror it, as I said she doesnt use the MBP, so all the stuff on there is mine.

  • Can you merge two still images into one in premiere elements?

    I am working on a slide show for a memorial service and would like to have one still image showing and then have the next one come in without replacing the former- somehow merge the two. Is that possible?

    Depending on what you mean by "merge," you can use PiP (Picture in Picture) to have the second image come in and occupy part of the screen with the original image. There are many ways to display PiP, from say a small image located in the screen to having it occupy one half of the screen.
    Does that sound like what you are hoping to do?
    Besides the rather simple PiP, one can also use Track Matte Keying to bring up the second image and to soften edges, drop it into an image of, say a TV set, or a window.
    The possibilities are endless, or nearly so.
    Let us know if PiP works for you, or if you need a more intricate merging of the images.
    Good luck,

  • Can you merge two pages documents into one in new pages?

    I have a report and a few separate documents which I'd like to merge into one document. I've read that you can do this from thumbnails and copy the thumbnail but I just can't seem to do that either with right click or cmd C. (and the advice seemed to be pre the new pages)  I want to merge them without making them into PDFs (still want them editable).
    I have all the latest updates and system.

    My solution won't work without Pages '09. It is no longer available from Apple, though for about $20 USD one can get it from Amazon, and once installed in Yosemite, it must be updated from an Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    If you had previously purchased Pages '09 from the OS X App Store, and it resides on an older Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, you should use the App Store to update it to v4.3. On those machines, the App Store will tell you that newer, incompatible Pages versions exist, and then it will offer to update your Pages '09 to the latest (4.3) version. Once this is done, you can simply copy that /Applications/Pages.app to a USB stick, create a new /Applications/iWork '09 folder on Yosemite, and transfer the Pages.app into that folder. If your Pages '09 was purchased on DVD, you will not be able to transfer it — and must be a new install on Yosemite, followed by the linked updater above. Takes all the joy out of working on a Mac.
    There is no assurance that Pages '09 will continue to work properly after forthcoming OS X updates. The ability to export via the Share menu and automatically open Apple Mail with the export as attachment feature is now broken.
    Pages v5.5.2, which is now available in the OS X App Store Updates — still does not support the solution you would like.
