How can I migrate all users preferences from 1 user to another on same MAC

To get CS3 to work Adobe tech support had me create a new user account and install from there. Now the NEW account is the only account CS3 works in but all my settings, files, addresses, EVERYTHING are under the old account. Since it works on one account it's not their problem anymore. Is there ANYWAY to get all my old stuff from old account to new. I don't know where to begin, it's like I'm at a new computer. I can get to some of my files but can't save them back where they belong, grayed out.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think we'd be better off figuring out how to install it for the other User, but...
Do a Get info on the Adobe Apps/Folders in Applications on the working User, report the 3 Rights/Privileges.

  • How can I migrate my Illustrator preferences from CS5 and 6 to CC?

    I have a substantial library of symbols, brushes, and swatches that I've been carrying along with me since CS3.
    I just installed Illustrator CC (among other apps) and I was wondering if there was an easier way to migrate all that stuff into the new version besides dragging files into folders like I've had to do in the past.
    TIA

  • How can I transfer all my info from my old mac to a new one?

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!

    sudo -u _cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ipurge -d 0 -f user/mailboxname

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
    Related support articles:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)
