Can't open accounts after transferring to new iMac

Just bought a new iMac 2.66. Used migration assistant to transfer files and application from existing iMac intel running 10.4.9. The old iMac had two password protected accounts on it. The accounts transferred but it appears the setting etc didn't. I can't open the password protected accounts - the message is that I don't have insufficient privileges. I'd very much appreciate suggestions about how to get around this problem. Note also that during the initial set up when I first started up the new iMac I attempted to transfer files from the old computer as prompted but the new computer appears to have gone into sleep mode and couldn't wake it - hence rebooting and using migration assistant.

Have a look at this article and see if it helps.

  • Can't open account after reinstalling osx

    my osx crashed and would not go past a blue screen after logging in. i then reinstalled osx and archived the previous version. i was then able to login to one of my accounts but the one that i was using when the system crashed (my primary acount with all my files in the home folder) still has the same problem as mentioned above. when i try to open the home folder of the that account through the working one it does not let me. any tips or ideas how to get to all my files.
    thanks
    it's my first mac and a bit clueless as what to do

    If the account you can log into is an admin user account, then follow the steps in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1061.html to delete the bad account, saving the data. Then, open up the Deleted Users folder and copy whatever stuff you want to the current account, eventually deleting it. If the current account isn't an admin user account, go to Accounts and create a new admin user account. Then, follow the above steps.

  • Can't open iphoto after migration to new machine

    I just migrated from an older iMac to a new one, and now when I try to open iPhoto I get the message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto".  I tried updating iPhoto on the new machine, but it seems to be up to date.  The old library is VERY large (>35 GB), and I don't want to have to go back and deal with touching up all the photos again.  Any ideas?

    What version of iPhoto was on the old machine?
    What version of iPhoto on the new machine?
    How did you move the Library?

  • Thumbnails but no photos after transferring to new iMac - How to Fix?

    When I recently got a new iMac, I transferred all my files from my old Mac to my new computer. I use iPhoto Buddy to create separate libraries for different members of our family and for different years. My iPhoto libraries for 2008 and 2007 transferred successfully. But for several thousand photos in earlier libraries, I have the thumbnails in the appropriate library, but when I click on the thumbs there is no photo connected to them. The strange things is that the thumbs work for some of the photos, but the vast majority in the older libraries have no photo connected to the thumbs. Is there a way to fix the libraries all at once? Or must I do it one by one? Either way, I don't know how to do it. Would greatly appreciate help.

    You transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone with iTunes - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

  • Can't open songs once transferred to new computer. Please help!

    Hello
    I followed the helpful advice on these boards and used an external hard drive to transfer my iTunes library from an old PC to an new one. My problem now is I see the songs the songs in my music folder but it seems that I would have to import them one at a time to get them into my new library. There has got to be an easier way that I am missing. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have a similar problem.
    I removed and re-installed Itunes and Ipod software as per the Apple site recommendations because my ipod would not connect to itunes. I re-installed both software, opened itunes and had no library at all showing and my view config was all defaults. I copied and renamed the "itunes library xxx-xx-xx.itl" file from the previous library folder in my music back and it restored my library and playlists (yeah!).
    My problem is that many (25 to 30%) of my 10,000+ songs have an exclamation point next to them and the library can't find them. It can find the rest of the songs (including some but not all songs in the same CD's). All of the songs are in the same folder tree on an external usb hard drive. I can manually locate and connect the songs but this would take 100 years to do. I tried to consolodate the library but this did not help. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Can't open iTunes after migrating new computer

    Can't open iTunes after migrating my old powerbook to my new macbook pro. Get the error message: "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Help!

    Did you install the latest version of iTunes on the new PC? The usual reason for this is that you had a newer version on the old PC.
    If you can't get it to work the simplest thing to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from the iTunes folder to desktop.
    Then start iTunes and use the following link to recreate your library.

    Note you already dragged the library files out of the iTunes folder.

  • Can't open iphoto after complete reboot.

    Hi!
    My computer stoped working a while back and I had the harddrive replaced, now I can't open iphoto after importing it from time mashine. I still have the same OS X (10.6.8) on a Mac Book pro from 2009. I can't buy the new one, or update it, because my OS X is too old and after seeing all the problems with the new system I don't really want to install it. How do I make iphoto work again? When I try to open it, it just says it can't open because of a problem (no, really?).

    Is there a crash report?  Have you tried reinstalling it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
