How to move all info from original user identity to new user identity

I bought a new printer and had some problems. In the process of 'fixing' the problems with the help of HP tech support I have since lost the ability to print from my original printer. I have found that I can print from a new user identity to both printers, so I'm figuring the easiest way to fix this problem is to physically transfer everything I have on my original user profile to a new user profile so that my printing problems are fixed. I can print to the new printer from the original user profile. So if there is a way that I could fix it so that I can print to the old printer that would be even better. But I've given in to the fact that I'm going to have to delete the original user profile and use a new one.
If any one has any tips on the easiest way to do this with out losing anything I've aquired that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm just taking a wild guess here but: the situation you described sounds like there is a problem somewhere with you original user's settings, probably in your ~/Library Folder. If you really were to transfer all of your old users information to the new account, including all files and settings there is a fair chance that you would also import whatever the problem is on your original account.
So you should as you said either try to fix your old printer in your old profile so both work there or transfer only your data files such as the Music, Pictures, Movies and Documents folders from your original home directory to the new home directory. You could also import the ~/Library Folder in bits and always make sure that you can still print but that would probably take as long as finding the problem in the original account. I hope that helps amking a choice which way to go.

  • How to move iphone info from old computer/OS to new computer/OS?

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How to move all images from a site to a new folder and not lose links?

    I have always wondered this.....tried a few things with no success..Whenever I take over a site from someone, a lot of time the previous designer did not make folders for ANYTHING including images.....so in thier main directory they have 20 html pages, 200 images and css files etc.....I can not think this way.....I want to just make a folder for images...put all the images there.....a css folder....etc. Once I do this all my links are lost and it is to much work to replace each one with the broken link finder in Dreamweaver......In some other applications like Logic Studio ( a music production application as an example ) it is very similar. Your main song file is pointing to linked audio files all over your hard drive....If you decide you want to move that drive it will search for the linked audio files and when it can not find them it asks you to specify the new folder or search manually for them.....if I had moved 200 audio files it comes in quite handy because I can just point to that new folder and im done.......finally, my question is what would you guys recommend for doing this? Moving hundreds of image files so that I can organize things...........any help would be GREATLY appreciated...I have googled but found no great technique...

    I'm having the same or similar issue...  I think...  trying to do a little house cleaning in the file structure.  For example, in our events folder I'm creating archive folders (i.e. - 2004, 2005, ect...) and when I use the Files Panel to drag and drop the past event pages into the newly created archive folder, the pages loose all their links.
    Image link prior to and after moving are the same (../images/logo1.gif)
    It does ask me to confirm that I want to move the file but nothing about updating the links.  Is it due to the way the files are linked in the original files?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!!

  • How to move database objects from one user to another user

    Could someone help how to move database objects from one user to another user
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks a lot for the reply.
    Actually I wanted to know whether there is any command to change the owner ship of the table.
    For ex table1 belongs to user1. can the owner of table1 to be changed to owner2.
    directly using an oracle command. I knew that it can be done using import and export, since the table was 200 million thought the rename command would be faster instead of import and export.
    Thanks Billy for letting me know that it is not possible using oracle query.

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server with a GP

    Hello,
    I was curious if someone know how to move all the files of a user "local" profile on a Terminal Server to that of a centralized server where the "local" profile of like the user desktop, favorites, setting, etc are stored in the event
    the local profile on the TS become corrupt it can pull from this server...
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced
    across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files
    to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    So I was curious and I've heard from some this is possible in a GP, but I'd like to move the contents of all 6 TS for
    each user or if I have to d this on  per user basis I will, just looking for a way to move the files....

    Hi Trevor,
    To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
    [Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
    In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
    Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
    Configuring Folder Redirection

    Hope it helps.

  • How to transfer all songs from a user account to another

    On the same Windows Vista computer, how to transfer / copy all music from one user account to another without using another computer or home sharing?
    (Please also consider that the iPad will also sync with the new user account without losing any songs.)
    Note: iTunes for Windows version 11.0.4.4

    I guess I can change 2. to:
    Move or copy the iTunes folder from C:\Users\<User 1>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User 2>\Music\iTunes, because I'll delete User 1 after done.
    Yes, that would work too.
    The iPad backups will not be transferred, am I right?
    Hmm, I think you are right. If I recall the backup exists in the user profile, so that would be the case.
    Is it sure that the iPad will be synced with User 2 without losing any songs?
    Yes, but to be safe, backup and sync the device with user 2 before deleting user 1.
    You should also maintain a separate backup.

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

    Hello,
    I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
    I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
    all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
    next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
    have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
    Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
    would it be this:
    move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
    any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
    This is the coding I have so far....

    In Windows we would do this using Group Policy.  There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to.  Once set it will automatically do this for you.
    You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
    You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder.  The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running.  It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
    There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address  Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
    Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed.  This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
    Use GP folder redirection to do this.  For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum. 
    All of  this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How to move iTunes library from my iBook to my new Mac??

    What's the best way to move my current iTunes library from my iBook to my new Mac?
    I am sure there's a simple answer I just don't know it yet.
    Thanks for your help.

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network the two computers and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. Connecting two Mac computers using Ethernet
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a Mac this would be in Username/Music/. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.
    Another way to connect two Macs is to connect them over Firewire and put the one with the iTunes library on it into target mode: How to use FireWire target disk mode
