ITunes user library transfer from one account to another on the SAME comptr

Initial information: I have my computer, internet is with SBC Yahoo DSL. It has five sub accounts on it; mine, my wife's and my three children. Each has their own subaccount to make life easy.
I bought my wife an ipod in the August and through ignorance set up the itune to run on my subaccount. So when she wanted to buy a song, she had to go to my subaccount, log on, buy the song, plug in and download to the ipod. No problem.
I then bought my daughter an ipod for her birthday in September. Not knowing any better, she plugged into my subaccount and got all of her mother's stuff. Not a big problem in that they like the same stuff.
December my son gets an ipod. I learned my lesson and set up an itunes account on his subaccount. He therefore buys songs, that go to his ipod only. He wanted some songs from mom's, so I couldn't figure how to get them over. So I read the instructions on this web page. I burned the disk with the 22 songs that he wanted, but when burning the discs, no info (song title, artist, album) came with it, so I manually added the song titles and artists names. He was satisfied.
Now mom and sister want their songs put onto their subaccounts so that they won't have to share, or better, won't have to down load what each other has. I tried burning more discs, but when I got to disc #11, I realized that once again, there are no names or titles, etc to the songs on the burnt discs.
QUESTION: (finally) Is there a way to transfer the songs from dad's itunes, to other subaccounts on the SAME computer. This way not needing to burn lots of CD's without the information that they want.
Final piece of info, in case you don't know how SBC/Yahoo DSL is set up. I have the different subaccount on the computer, but to get from one to another, you need to either log off, or so simply "switch users." For this reason, such functions like "select all" then "copy" then "paste" I don't think can be done. Please make your answers very simple as I am not that computer literate.
Thank you

I'll try and keep this simple. It gets a bit confusing.
Ok, in the account which you want to transfer songs from, make a playlist of all the songs you wish transferred. After you do so, open the playlist, then go to "File > Export Song List". Put the file in a place that you'll remember. Then, go to the account you want the songs to go to, then go to "File > Import", and find the file you created from the other account and open it. That should import those songs into that iTunes library.

Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
Or
2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
Any other help is greatly appreciated

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

How to transfer user settings from one account to another (on the same Mac)

I'd like to create separate user accounts for "work" and "play" (so that I can do things like have separate address books, etc...). However, I already have LOTS of personalized settings (trackpad behavior, login items, etc) that I'd like to keep the same between the two accounts.
Is there a way to transfer all of the user settings from one account to another?

You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

Transferring music from one account to another on the same computer

Set up a second itunes account on a different computer user. How do I transfer the music from the original account to the second account?

All of the files should be stored on the hard drive and accessible from either account so long as you made the new account an administrator account. You would just need to navigate to wherever you have the music stored on your hard drive.
File > Add Folder to Library
Then select the folder, wherever it may be stored on your hard drive.

How do i transfer funds from one account to another in the same table?

Say for example i want to transfer funds from UserID 1111101 to UserID 1111103.
Anyone know the procedure for this. I use php/mysql and dreamweaver.

Here's a very basic method. Note that this is just pseudocode - you'll need to work out the actual code (I assume you've learned how in your course studies). Keep in mind this is a very simplified workflow - a real bank transaction would be MUCH more complex.
Create a form that has fields for debit account, credit account, amount
In your script, assign the values from the form to local variables
$debit_acct
$credit_acct
$amount
I'll assume you have an account balance table 'acct_bal'. Have a journal table to store those values along with the date and autonumber transaction id.
Begin Trans
INSERT into journal (credit_acct, debit_acct, amount, trans_date) VALUES ($credit_acct, $debit_acct, $amount, NOW())
Get the transaction_id ($trans_id) from the INSERT statement- the method depends on which MySQL interface you are using.
UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance + $amount) WHERE acct_id = $debit_acct
UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance - $amount) WHERE acct_id = $credit_acct
Rollback on any SQL error else Commit Trans.

Migrating data from one account to another on the same Mac

One of the accounts on my Mac has been plagued with problems ever since the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Safari crashes when attaching photos along with other apps crashing as well.
I just purchased one of the new iMacs (which is really sweet BTW) and used the migration assistant to move all accounts. It would seem that the "currupted" account followed and still has issues with crashing apps (none of the other accounts have this problem so its not system wide).
What I want to do is create a new admin account and manually move all of my data. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Hopefully whatever is causing the crashing issue won't follow.
Thanks for the help.

you can manually copy only the data you need to the new account. use this post as a guide on what to copy
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507
when you copy stuff do it via a location that both accounts have read access to, say, /Users/Shared. log into the old account and copy what you need to /Users/shared. then log out log into the new account and copy those things back to the new home directory. copying rather than moving files will ensure that you won't have permissions issues later.

Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

Hello.
I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
Thank you.

Transfer from one account to another

I want to change my skype name and will need to set up a new account can i then transfer everything from my old account to the new one like skype number?

You cannot modify a Skype Name and you cannot transfer a Skype Online number from one Skype account to another, so the following is for situations when it is not convenient to cancel one Online number and get another
There is nothing to stop you from keeping a Skype Online number on one account and CALL FORWARDING calls that arrive on that account to another Skype account (for free)
I would suggest setting the Call Forward ring timeout to zero (0) seconds to minimize delay before the client where the second Skype Name is signed in rings, and I would also suggest leaving the first Skype Name signed into a Skype client at all times (since the ring timeout defaults to something like 15 seconds otherwise, and many callers won't tolerate such a long delay)

How to transfer files from one partition to another on the same computer

I had a crash could not boot back into my 8.1 upgrade. Went out bought standalone 8.1. I loaded it on HD free space now I want to transfer files from one partition to another.

hi
say there are two infoobjects X and Y.
X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
This is one way.
Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
Hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
The server is Windows 2003 file server. The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume within the same server, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish your goals. The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume
to the new volume.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:
File Server Migration Toolkit
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.utilityspotlight.aspx
The File Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) is a free download available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=10268
Robocopy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145.aspx
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

How do I can link from one MXML to another in the same project?

I planned to create a login page separated in my new Flex
application. Maybe I am too attached to the WEB philosophy but I
prefer to do it in that way. The login page will simply validate
the login through a call to a CFC. While the CFC will also create
the session variables I will need over the navigation of the user
(once the login is validated), the variables (or more specifically
the values of those variables) will serve as reference during the
user's navigation. And those values are contains in the ColdFusion
Session and can be accessed through CFCs.
If the login is a success, I need to redirect the user to the
appropriate page (in my case, the application is a help desk system
so if the user is identified as a technician will go to the
technician.mxml or if the user is identified as a sysadmin, will go
to the sysadmin.mxml - simple as that). Now, I know it is possible
to redirect using ExternalInterface.call function but is there
anything more specific to Flex redirection from one MXML to
another? Just like classes (where you can create dependency of a
child classe to is parent)?
Thank you

I finally decided to use simply the method
ExternalInterface.call to do this and it works fine! I passed
parameters through the URL and I actually created CFM page that
contains a copy of the HTML code generated by FlexBuilder (the CFM
page give me the possibility to deal with the parameters).
But I though that Flex can actually call another Flex and
passing parameters directly without passing by the HTML page
itself. A kind of memory scope but I guess I wish too much!!!
