I have two users on my iMac, i want to transfer the font book from one to the other ?

I downloaded a bunch of fonts on my first User profile, now I don't use it because of problems and I now use a new profile.
How can I get the font book from one user to over ride the other one ??
thanks in advance

Font Book is an application available to all accounts.
There are three Font folders (provided by OS X)
/System/Library/Fonts
Contains fonts essential to the proper working of the OS and various included applications.
/Library/Fonts
Contains the standard set of fonts provided with the OS version, and is where you should put any fonts that you want to be shared by all accounts
~/Library/Fonts
Is the folder in each account. Fonts in here will be available only to that account.
Log into your old account and transfer the fonts from
~/Library/Fonts to /Library/Fonts
"/" indicates the root (Macintosh HD), "~/" is shorthand for your user folder.

I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc

I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc

I too have just purchased a new pc and want to transfer EVERYTHING from my iPhone to the new pc. I am unable to access my old pc for the files. I have been able to transfer what I purchased on my phone but nothing else. Is there anyway to just transfer everything without having to have access to the old pc?

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?

Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

I just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

I just got a new computer and didn't do Migration Assistant until after I had already created an account. Now I have two users on my computer and want to merge all of the data into one single user. Thanks!

I have two users on my mac and want to know if I can add an iPad and to one user only?

I have a Mac, a Laptop, a Iphone and timemachine/wifi. My husband and I each have our own Logins, his is password protected. I want to know if I can add an Ipad to his profile seperately without everything being linked together. i.e.I don't want my email going to his Ipad.... (he has his own email address).

Well, for the e-mail part, you have to enter the account details into the ipad, so if you only enter your account or only his, the other won't even be on there so the e-mail will be separated.
I'm not up on separate users/partitions/accounts on the mac, but, going by PC's, you can install software that's only accessible to an individual user, same theory should apply to a mac.

I have a new (mid) 2011 imac and want to transfer my old records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for a new mac that would have compatible software for ripping to itunes?

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
Success, Jean

I have just bought a MacBook Pro and want to transfer my iTunes library from my old laptop to mac. I've prepped and copied the library to an external hard drive then loaded it onto my mac however none of the music or apps are appearing.

I've moved my library to my Mac but none of my apps and only some purchased music/books appear in itunes. I'm sure I'm missing something but I'm new to Mac's so not sure what! Any help appreciated

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Well, I have an old ipod Nano, and I wanted to transfer the music to my new computer. The library isn't synced up, so is there a way to do it?

I have an old Ipod nano...3rd gen, and I have alot of songs that are on my ipod, not in my library, and I was wondering if there was a way to get those songs on my computer without them being erased. Trying to get them on my iPod touch,

HT201413 I get error 20 when I try to download updates to installed Apple software I have two users on the IMac. I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari. Why do I need to do this? What is going on?

I get Error 20 when I try to download updates for installed Apple apps on my IMac. I have two users on the IMac, and I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari, opening and closing the App Store for each user, shutting down and restarting the IMac for each user, until finally the download works. There must be an easier way. I also have an Air, where I have no problems whatsoever. Both machines have Doorstop and MacKeeper with the same settings, so I have ruled those programs out as the cause. I believe iot is because I have two users - any ideas?

Please read this whole message and be sure you understand all of it before doing anything. Back up all data before making changes to your settings.
Write down the server addresses.
Click Cancel to close the Advanced sheet. Unlock the preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Open the DNS tab again and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself.
2. I’m not advocating Google or anything else as a DNS provider; the server addresses are offerred merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.
