Can I convert a new account into my master account?

Hi everyone, first post, thanks for taking the time to look and hopefully answer . So I just bought a new Mac Pro and was thrilled to discover I could use the ol' Migration Assistant to transfer all my crap from my Power Mac AGP. It didn't work in the initial startup process (it just spun and spun and spun - I let it go overnight and still nothing); I had to create an account on the new machine, and then run the Migration Assistant after.
Well it worked for the most part. My problem is that I have absolutely no need for the new account I created; I just want to use the one that migrated from the old machine. Even though it's set to admin rights, I don't have certain permissions, like parental control, and can't save to the 'master desktop'. Trying to be clever I deleted the new account. It didn't seem to screw anything up, but it didn't fix the problem either. I still don't have permission for everything.
Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks so much!

If you still have the G4, I suggest starting over. Review http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713 for starters. Then, boot with the restore disk, wipe the machine, and restore the MacPro to its original status. Finish as described in the linked document.

Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

To clarify: you are not being charged for the extra storage - it's complimentary to reflect the fact that you had storage in MobileMe. At the end of June it will disappear unless you care to pay to renew it.

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

It just tells me to contact support.

You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

to contact the iTunes Store.

How do I convert an existing account into a kids account?

I'm trying to set up family sharing. I wish my Son (11) to be able to apply to me for purchases, as a "kid." The account thinks he is an "Adult" and does not offer this opportunity. HOW do I get his iCloud account converted from an "Adult" account into a "Kid" account? There is lots of mail and other stuff that makes the option of abandonment of the existing account undesirable.

Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in. If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right. If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date. At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.

Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

Does it automatically make folders named after the volume labels? And does it handle the conversion of spaces and non-alphanumeric characters to octal codes?
I could read the script but it would be faster for everyone reading, if you leave the answer as a reply.
I also think that there should be some major work done on modernizing the fstab, either by replacing it with a better implementation of file system mounting or changing the file structure and adding in better handling of non-alphanumerics. I don't want to have to look up a stupid octal table every time I type in my labels.
