Migration set up two accounts. How do I share them?

Hello,
Just bought my first Mac. I used migration assistant to transfer things. First I transferred all my folders, files, and photos. Then later, overnight, I transferred all my music. It appears that Migration Assistant has now set up two "users" for me, one with my documents, pictures, etc. and one with my music. I want everything under one user. Preferrably, with all the music under the other account.
How can I make this happen. And PLEASE, I need a step by step explanation. I am completely Mac illiterate.
Thank you

Transferring files from one User Account to another
What you did and how was not the best idea. You can look at the above link then decide how to proceed, but I would recommend biting the bullet and doing this:
Create a new user account with a name different from the one of the account you will migrate;
Be sure this new account has admin status;
Log into this new account then delete all the other accounts you have;
Remigrate your old account in its entirety all at one time;
After migration is completed log into your migrated account;
Delete the temporary new account you created in Step 1.

    Is that not enough to connect facebook to the new account?
    I mean, it may automaticlally replace the link with the old account.
    Please just tell me if i'm wrong or right :)
    Hey,
    To be honest, I have absolutely no idea!
    I just take the route that I believe minimises any risk of something blowing up server side, and whilst it may well automatically disconnect, it only takes a few seconds to disconnect before connecting to the new account, and just eliminates that risk of a load of errors popping up :P

  • I accidentally set up two accounts.  One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it.  Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

    I accidentally set up two accounts.  One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it.  Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?  I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account.  THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

    Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

    You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

    you can't.
    ... so that I can use it on multiple devices?
    a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts (Apple IDs). a library thusly set up will sync content purchased with any of the five Apple IDs to any device.

  • My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

    My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

    Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

    Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

    No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.
