Best way to move data and programs to another profile on same Mac?

Hello,
What is the best way to move data and programs to another profile on the same Mac? I have a user who's profile is corrupt, I know that most programs will work on both the new and old profile however when trying to copy the Desktop folder, or Documents folder I am getting permissions denied.
Sort of like weeding a garden, I'm hoping I do not have to pick the data in each folder and copy individually.
Thanks for your help!
Johnathon

This usually means that a configuration or preference file is corrupted.  In this user's /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder locate any preference files associated with iLinc and drag to the Trash.
I would also check in the /Home/Library/Caches/ folder for a file or folder associated with iLinc and delete as well.
See if the problem is resolved in the user's normal account.
It's not that you cannot copy data from account to account, but doing so causes a lot of permissions issues that must be resolved.  The MacFixit article I linked above shows what you need to do after transferring from one account to another in order to change permissions on the "foreign" files to those of the destination account.

  • What is the best way to move data from one array to another

    I'm going to be moving data from one array to a larger array on the same RAID but different controller. (I have some extra extra drives I'm also going to be installing Retrospect so I can't just restore from a backup.)
    The RAID has 450GB of production files, fonts etc.

    I saw that someone had suggested using ditto. Would that be better than MacMV?
    I also own Bru LE so I could use that.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Ditto is a great option -- probably the best.

  • Best way to move data from page to page inside app

    Hi all I started writing this and it got way to complicated to explain in full without a novel.
    Breif description. I am using query string that starts in the parent window (from href in json file) it then has to be moved into the iframe url when moving to other pages to avoid security as page and iframe are conflicting http and https. and cannot be accessed.. it seems there must be a better way.
    So my question is what is the best way in open platform to move data from one page to another?

    Hi Liam
    Small data just a webapp ID and I am using the URL. But if you pass a ID say from Json ie "href":"/Admin/AppLoader.aspx?client_id=dev-name&ID=111111" it gets passed to the page url. This can be referenced using document.referrer initially. As the app is inside another frame and url that is https there is security issue using parent.location between https and http. Fine but then if you move to a new page referrer is no longer as there is no real referrer and you have to use location but you cannot. Now the work around is to pass the value from the page url to the app url at the start. and then you get around http https security issue when using parent.location but this seems convoluted and like a work around. Is this really the only way or the best way or a bad way. without using other ways that seem over kill for 6 odd characters.

  • Best way to move data

    I purchased a new 17" imac for my wife. I need to move her data which consists of old emails through outlook, word files, print shop files etc. Not too much more. But in order for her to feel comfortable with the switch to mac she needs to hvae everything there.
    I looked at the move2mac software and people do not seem happy with it.
    What is the best way to do this. Any tips would be great.
    by the way, I did not thing the support tips on the mac site were that great.

    I've actually heard only good things about Move2Mac. Regardless, instructions for moving data over are here:

  • Best way to move data from table to a file

    Hi,
       I have a two tables in ecc, And I need to read the data and copy to a file and ftp to another server.
    One table is really huge. What is the best approch to move this data using PI. I can not avoid PI, since it needs some mapping.
    1. Proxy-PI-FTP
    2. Dump the data to a file and use FTP_PI_FTP
    3. Any other.
    Thank you
    Moni

    it is really a project decision but I can give you some pro's and con's.
    Proxy --> File
    You cab communicate directly with the XI pipeline which means you don't have to go through the adapter engine.
    RFC --> File
    This is very standard SAP and most ABAP programmers will be able to utilize this.
    IDoc --> File
    Standard SAP ALE technology but can get very big due to useless segments
    Dump File
    The biggest positive of this is the fact that you wouldn't have to convert to XML which will ensure that the message doesn't grow in size as is the case with all of the above.
    This is very brief but should give you a good idea....

  • Importing Mail file and documents from another account on same Mac

    Hi,
    I a new to Mac. Have a great new iMac. It's all working fine.
    Initially to simplify things I have set up everything under the main admin account (mine).
    In particular, I have installed both my and my wife's e-mail account documents in the Mail and Documents folders of the master account.
    Now that we're 'stable', I have set-up a separate account for her such that we keep our preferences, e-mails and documents separate.
    When setting-up her account I now can't find how to import 'her' folders from the Master account Mail application and Documents folder. Indeed, those folders appear grey and unaccessible from her account (I guess that's the basic idea abut separate account but I am nevertheless looking for ways to move those files.
    Any pointers?
    Tx,
    AH

    login to the main account and drag the folders to the "Drop Box" folder in her "Public" folder (in her home folder in "Users" at the top level), the go to her account to move the to the correct locations.

  • Best way to move date between LabVIEW 7.1 and 2010

    We have a large LabVIEW based control and data acquisition system that for reasons beyond the scope of this post is at and needs to stay at LabVIEW version 7.1 for the forseeable future...  We are soon to add a camera diagnostic to this system that, again for reasons beyond the scope of this post, needs to be written in LabVIEW 2010...  The 2010 piece of code will run and need to receive some information such as shot number, when to trigger, etc. from the 7.1 side of the system...  Then after a shot has occurred and a camera image has been acquired, the 2010 code will do some on the fly processing of this image and within a few seconds will need to send back some results data to the 7.1 side... 
    The 7.1 code uses a tag engine approach to sharing data among different codes running on different machines...  I think now that more modern versions of LabVIEW use a shared variable approach...  But I need to communicate as I've described above between the two versions, 7.1 and 2010 (or it could be 2011 if that would offer some advantage)... 
    I'm new at this moving of data between versions like this so if something could offer some advice, especially if there is some tutorial information on this topic, that would be much appreciated...  Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer...  thanks...  bob...

    It really depends if your tag engine like communication approach is a home brown solution or something like the LabVIEW DSC engine. If homebrown and well written you should be able to reuse the client library part of it in newer LabVIEW versions without to many hassles. If it is LabVIEW DSC it may be a bit more complicated since the only means to share DSC tags in version 7.1 was as far as I can remember their proprietary TCP/IP tag interface, which was replaced in newer versions with he shared variable engine.

  • Best way to group data and show details of only last result in group

    Hi All! First off, just letting everyone know that this is a great place to explore and learn Oracle - I've learned more here than I have in some classes. Just exploring the forums and searching for an answer leads me to functions that I hadn't otherwise known existed.
    Here's what I'm looking to accomplish now... let's say I have a table that holds family information - if two or more persons are related in a family (determined by a separate table) then it should return the person identification and then the details of the group.
    For instance, the following data is contained in two tables, the current result follow and then the result I'm looking for...
    PERSONS TABLE
    PERSON         PERSON_ID           ADDRESS
    John Smith     101                     1 Oracle Drive
    Jane Smith     102                     1 Oracle Drive
    RELATIONSHIPS TABLE
    PERSON_ID      RELATEDPERSON_ID
    101                 102
    102                 101A simple query would result in the following:
    WITH PERSONS AS
      SELECT 'John Smith' AS person, 101 AS person_id, '101 Oracle Drive' AS address FROM dual union all
      SELECT 'Jane Smith', 102, '101 Oracle Drive' FROM dual
    ,    RELATIONSHIPS AS
      SELECT 101 AS person_id, 102 AS relatedperson_id FROM dual union all
      SELECT 102, 101 FROM dual
    SELECT
        person
      , address
    FROM  PERSONS p
    JOIN  RELATIONSHIPS r ON r.person_id = p.person_idRESULT
    PERSON      ADDRESS
    John Smith      101 Oracle Drive
    Jane Smith      101 Oracle DriveI'm looking to generate the following result but I'm not sure how to accomplish this... I'm confident it's something simple.
    DESIRED RESULT
    PERSON      ADDRESS
    John Smith     
    Jane Smith      101 Oracle DriveNotice that the address for the related family members is not displayed until the last family member is returned. It would repeat this process for each family.

    If you find something that you try to adapt, post a link to it. Seeing the correct way to adapt it can be very instructive.
    essentially, if I can determine what relatives a person has, then I can create a unique "FAMILY_ID" for them - once I have that, it would appear as though I could then use the FAMILY_ID to group their addresses and other info together.
    The problem I'm having is that if a RELATEDPERSON_ID is linked to a PERSON_ID (PERSON_ID linked to RELATEDPERSON_ID works great), it assigns them a new FAMILY_ID rather than including them into the correct family.
    Here's my sql

    SELECT       col1
    ,       DENSE_RANK () OVER ( ORDER BY  MIN (relative)
    ) AS family_id
    FROM      got_relatives
    GROUP BY  col1The result I expect is:
    COL1   FAMILY_ID
    102     1
    106     1
    101     1
    105     2
    104     2
    I suspect that whatever you copied originally had the PRIOR keyword somewhere in the CONNECT BY clause.
    Here's one way to do what you want:
    WITH    all_relationships     AS
         SELECT  person_id
         ,     relatedperson_id
         FROM     relationships
        UNION

    ,     got_relatives     AS
         SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT person_id     AS person_id
         ,     relatedperson_id
         FROM     all_relationships
         CONNECT BY NOCYCLE     person_id       = PRIOR relatedperson_id
                 OR          relatedperson_id  = PRIOR person_id
    ,     got_family_id     AS
         SELECT       person_id
         ,       MIN (relatedperson_id)     AS family_id
         ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  MIN (relatedperson_id)
                                      ORDER BY          person_id     DESC
                                    )            AS r_num
         FROM       got_relatives
         GROUP BY  person_id
    SELECT       p.person
    ,       CASE
               WHEN  f.r_num  = 1
               THEN  p.address
           END          AS address
    ,       p.person_id
    ,       f.family_id     
    FROM       got_family_id  f
    JOIN       persons      p  ON  p.person_id  = f.person_id
    ORDER BY  family_id
    ,            person_id
    ;Output:
    PERSON     ADDRESS          PERSON_ID  FAMILY_ID
    John Smith                        101        101
    Jane Smith                        102        101
    Pete Smith 1 Oracle Drive         106        101
    John Doe                          104        104
    Jane Doe   10 Oracle Drive        105        104Obviously, you don't have have to display all the columns I displayed above In your first message, you said you wanted only person and address. In your last message, you said you only wanted person_id and family_id. Change the main SELECT clause any way you wish.
    I used the lowest person_id in each family as the family_id. You could use DENSE_RANK if you really wanted to have the families numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., but I suspect you don't really care what family_id is, as long as all the members of the family have the same value.
    You relationship table has some symmetrical relationships, such as
    SELECT 104, 105 FROM dual union all
    SELECT 105, 104 FROM dual union alland some asymmetrical relationships. For example, the only relationship involving person_id=106 is
    SELECT 106, 101 FROM dualthat is, there is no mirror-image row:
    -- SELECT 101, 106 FROM dual union all   -- THIS IS NOT IN THE SAMPLE DATAI assume there is no significance to that. As long as 101 and 106 appear on the same row, they are in the same family, regardless of which is the person_id and which is the relatedperson_id.
    So the first thing I did above was make sure all the mirror-image rows were represented. That's what all_relationships does.
    The next sub-query, got_relatives, is probably what you meant to adapt, but you left off the PRIOR operators.
    Got_family_id actually does the grouping, and also computes r_num to determine which is the last member of the family. Only that family member's address will be displayed in the main query.
    You could combine got_family_id and the main query; you don't really need a sub-query for that. It would be a little less coding, but I wrote it this way because I think it's a little easier to understand and maintain.

  • Best way to move region and track automation??

    I want to be able to highlight a region (option copy it) and drag it with automation data. Instead of copy automation data one lane at a time to move it. Eg. I have my synth line in a 4 bar loop with 3 different parameters of automation and i want to move that 4 bar loop (copy and paste) to the next 4 bars and so on with all automation in place.
    Cheers!

    If you enable hyperdraw on the region and zoom in enough you can see and edit the info. I often use hyper draw to draw in my automation in the first place. Saves me a step if I don't need to aactually perform the automation live with a controller.

  • Best Way to Stack 2d and 3d in a Composite

    Hey everyone, it seems I'm really on a 3d binge with Photoshop CS6. It's just a blast! Anyway, I'm looking to figure out the best way to stack 2d and 3d items together in the same document, and maximize the editibility...
    I'm working on a digital room setting, and I have part of the room in 3d and part in 2d. So, for example, the walls, ceiling, floor, table, chairs and corner hutch are 3d, but the regular hutch and buffet server are in 2d.
    - The table and chairs need to be in the foreground
    - The regular hutch and server are behind the table and chairs
    - The corner hutch needs to be behind all other pieces of furniture
    So, you may be catching on by now to my little dilemna... I want all the 3D items to have the same lighting and reflect off one another, however, I need the 2d layers to somehow fit "inbetween" the 3d objects. The simple question is, how can this be done? Is there a way to mask the foreground 3D objects so that they appear to be in from of the 2D objects? My only current solution is this:
    - Move the whole 3D layer (the scene layer) all the way to the back
    - Make the final decision on the position of the table and chairs
    - Hide all other meshes in the scene besides the table and chairs
    - Render, so the edges are clean
    - Load the newly rendered 3D layer as a selection (which loads the table and chairs only)
    - Either create a new layer from the selection of the rendered 3D layer, or mask the 3D layer so that the table and chairs appear to be in the foreground
    I didn't anticipate this post being this long, so I apologize,... but as you can assume, the method above means I can no longer edit/reposition/scale the 3D at all, so if there's a better way to stack these room elements I would be extremely grateful to whoever knows how!
    Thanks!
    Andy

    First, I was wrong about layers needing to be hidden to prevent their appearance being included in a new Postcard. I misunderstood something that happened when working with a 3D document a while ago.
    Materials support transparency/opacity. A material has an opacity control that can use a texture. The material opacity percentage is multiplied by the opacity of the texture.
    When a Postcard is created, its default material's opacity control will contain an instance of the texture that's in the diffuse control, which is a PSB file containing the 2D layer (pixels, Shape, Smart Object or Group) from which the Postcard was created.
    Here is an example. Two solid Pyramid meshes and a Postcard of a cloud Shape layer:
    The Shape layer from which the Postcard was created is in the document that can be opened by picking Edit in the dropdown of the buttons highlighted above:
