Cloud settings migration between accounts

Is it possible to migrate my Cloud settings from one Cloud account to another? Thanks for any help.

All is well with the system now.
The solution,
To move files from Account A to Account B, do the following:
1) Log in to Account A
2) Locate the files you want to move and move them to /Users/A/Public. Don't move any Apple created top-level default folders there, like Documents, Pictures, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to Account B
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public.
5) Drag the files to the Desktop. This will create new copies of them.
6) Put the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
7) Log back in to Account A, and delete the files from /Users/A/Public.
This did not work for me but you should give it a try first.
For me, I had to move the data to an external drive. I then selected the drive in finder, entered command+i, in the resulting pop-up, I unlocked the lock at the bottom and checked the box to ignore ownership on this drive.
For my address book problem I used "appdelete" in user account A where address book was functioning. I had it collate all the files associated with it, copied those files. In user account B where address book would not function, I deleted address book(again using "appdelete") and then placed the copy that I made in that account and presto it worked.
Additional data I needed moved.
I tried the shared folder and the external drive and both methods required me to manually change the read write permissions on a folder by folder and sometimes file by file basis, tedious but it got the job done.

  • Migration Assistant won't migrate User Account settings

    I have Mac OS 10.7.5 running on the internal hard drive of my mid-2011 iMac. Because I'm having some issues with it that I suspect is due to old data/settings affecting 10.7.5, I wanted to see if installing Mac OS 10.8 might fix them. I installed 10.8 on an external FireWire drive but just did a clean install of the OS initially without migrating anything from the internal drive. My plan was to migrate things slowly rather than everything at once. Well I hit a snag at the outset when I tried to migrate my User settings; Migration Assistant says it can't do with out renaming my user account! The problem is that I don't know why this is happening AND I don't know if MA is talking about the user account in 10.8 or the one in 10.7.
    Any idea as to what I can do? I was thinking of wiping the external drive and starting over but this time have the User account(s) migrated as part of the install; might this work?
    BTW, when migrating AFTER a new OS install, is it better to have MA in the NEW OS pull the data from the old OS or have MA in the OLD OS push the data to the new OS (is it even possible to do this? I've always had the new MA pull the data from the old OS.)?

    OK, yesterday I wiped the drive and started over. When I got to the Setup/Migration Assistant, I was given 4 options:
    Users; Applications; Settings; Other files and documents... Under the Users option was a drop down where I could select which users to transfer; I selected mine and left the other ones (a "Test" account & an "Apple Service" account). Under the Settings option I could select "Computer" and/or "Network"; I selected both.The Applications & Other... options did not have ant drop down selections; I de-selected both.
    After the installation was complete, I let the iMac run for several hours with no hint of the slow down that happens on the Mac OS 10.7.5 system. I then used the Assistant and had my applications copied over. Oh, I also created new "Test" and "Apple Service" user accounts.
    OK, so what exactly is migrated via the "Other..." option?

    I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

  • Fixing everything in new migrated Admin account

    I have been trying to move everything from my old Mac to the new Mac mini.
    By Time Machine and two Migration Assistant tries until the Mail got ok.
    I would like to get all feedback I can get on the subject:
    First of all, I am unsure myself about especially the Unix and underlying things. Like Admin rights.
    I have right now about 5 accounts, One old Admin, which I intend to keep. I moved things I wanted to have to a new (user) account, and thereby I left "a segmentation/layer/period of files and things" there. So it's left for two reasons. And One account that I made just to have a clean iPhoto and account for a relatives project. And then also I made a new account during the mini install (used when migrating the first) time, the id of which I'd really like keep as main user account. But I seem to have gotten things and Mail especially, working on a fifth account, Admin right now, which got there when I migrated the second time.
    So now I plan to use the fifth Account as main (user) account. But I'm a bit unsure what rights and things that have to be fixed for things to work even though I remove the Admin rights.
    And I really would like to keep the fourth account as main Admin account, it has the id I'd like to keep.(I think I read somewhere that you cannot change the id:s.) I'm not sure how to clean out whatever excess files that this account may have.
    From the old user account I also need to move the App and settiings files to the main user account, although I hope that the second migration mixed a lot.
    So I think I have a good plan for all accounts.
    I had trouble getting the Mail migrated ok. It did not work ok to move all mail between accounts, so I skipped this. I also did once a Mail "Backup" on Mail - is this how I could have moved the mails between accounts?
    Another things is iTunes. It now seems ok on my user account, although the Playing Lists (also "Bought") seems to have got lost. ?!
    I looked at the size of User files after the migrations to the two different user (Admin for the moment) accounts, they seem to maybe be identical.
    I have to go through all Apps to check that my user account works, especially when I turn off the Admin rights.
    I am quite unsure if especially all settings are ok.
    I think the Moble Applications for my iPad gor moved ok. I have to dowload some App to to see if that works.
    One major task is how to fix all file system rights, since I now realise that I will switch both my Admin and the User account.
    I have my user files on an external disk, where it is located in Users/account/* I am a bit unsure how to set those rights.
    Finally, the things I missed, whas that I turned off Time Machine backup during the first Migration, but I missed the second time so I got a strange Time Machine backup made in the middle of things. I am unsure if I in any safe way could get rid of this backup. Right now Time Machine is turned off, until I am satisfied with things.
    I also now realize that:
    The Install and Migration was a bit troublesome as it got done.
    I suspect that I should have run Migration Assistant booted from a USB stick Mountain Lion that I have, or from a temporary partition or something. So that I did not have to so much fixing afterwards. (I mayby never wanted extra accounts, and I am not sure how things will work out now.)
    And finally, now, I would appreciate ideas and pointers to Forum postings about these matters. I am very thankful for what really good stuff I found after a while, Migrating was not as easy as it seemed to be! (Also, you should not do things like this if your not concentrated... :-(   ).
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    As I have now, I will do as I planned. But the second Migration I did was to Migrate a second time. From Restored OS. But I had three accounts from before, som that still was a problem.
    The Setup Guide was great, at least I now know how to fix the moving and rights setting.
    I am unsure if also my unneccessary Time Backups still would have to removed, so I would not give it anoter try.
    I am grateful for all ideas!

  • 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.)

  • I can't successfully migrate an account from my backup disk.

    My mac's hard disk broke down. Therefore, I went to the apple store and they gave me a new hard disk. Then, I went home and tried to migrate all of my previous account's data onto my new hard disk using migration assistant.. One account succeeded, but the other account failed.
    It seems that all of the files on that account don't give me permission to view it. I have never changed the permission settings on that account, so can anyone please help me?

    I understand its not iCloud that its a symbol im just not explaining myself very well. But that symbol doesn't really matter. What matters is I keep downloading or I should say restoring the same files because it keep coming back with the same 1 next to it letting me know I still had the bonus pool in the game and I'm trying to start completely from the beginning with the app. I have talked with the developer and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is either. They told me to do all the same things Ive been told here and it just won't load. I dont know if there is an update for it but the app store doesnt show one and yes the install always complete. The app doesn't crash because it won't load. It didn't crash when I played it last either. When I went back to open it it just wouldn't load. The blueshell logo comes up then it goes back to the normal screen. I just feel like I keep restoring this app instead of downloading it fresh. And i deleted it from the backup or so it says. The reason I believe that is restoring it is because the app logo I have is black red and gold and the new app logo for this game is gold and black but that one never shows up in the new download. I have friends with this app and it has never done that before to them. But I don't understand why this app can't be somehow erased completely from the history if I want it to be. That's what make me believe its keeping some small .exe file along with it.

    Put the file in a folder that both users have access to, such as /Users/Shared or one user's Public folder. You may also need to change its permission settings in the Finder Info window.

    I've searched high and low for an answer and nothing I find on-line seems to apply.  I also notice that the option to 'Run as Administrator' does not work.  If I right-click on cmd.exe and select 'run as administrator', the command box opens but
    I am not prompted for credentials and the command box does not have admin rights.  Not sure if this is related or not.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Delete your  remove action from the GPP and push it again, does this issue still occur?
    If it still exists, let’s collect the GPP log for analysis:
    Group policy Preference debug logging policy settings are located under:
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy
    Click Logging and tracing, select local users and group preference logging and trace.
    Meanwhile, just a similar issue, but it is worth trying:
    A user is added to the wrong group on a client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Problem migrating user account SID

    Problem migrating user account SID
    I’m trying to migrate user accounts SID from a Windows 2003 domain to a Windows 2008 domain using the command line admt.exe. There is a trust between the 2 domains and I’m able to migrate a user account using admt 3.1 wizard including SID. The wizard asks me for a user account in the source domain with administrative right for the SID migration.  In the wizard I use the same credentials as my current session. This works fine!!
    But, when I’m using the command line “admt user” in an administrative cmd box i’m not prompted for any credentials in the source domain.  My current credentials have the proper right in the source domain so that should not be any problem but admt is not able to migrate the user SID and gives the following error:
    ERR2:7615 SID History cannot be updated for xxxxx. You must be an administrator in the source domain
    Any ideas ??

    The account I am logged in to the target DC is a member of the Administrators group on both domains and of the Domain Admins on the source.
    Any ideas? Searching (with Bing and that other one) only turns up two relevant hits, this thread and a win2000 tech net article.

  • Getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts

    Hi all,
    I am getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts on a mac mini. There are two accounts and quite often when we go from one to the other we get the spinning beachball after putting in the password to log in. I am finding the only real solution to be is to put the machine to sleep (button at the back for a sec or two) wait for it to go to sleep and then wake it up and it mostly will then log in and keep working.
    It's an older intel dual core mac mini with an upgraded HDD. I previously had an iMac running snow leopard where the same problem occured and recently migrated over the account to the mini running Lion. It seems to be happening more often.
    I also seem to remember that occasionally when using say Pages you would get the spinning beachball and then you would have to hit the desktop or go to another program and then back to pages to get it working again.

    Does it occur no matter which way you're going say? i.e, both from
    User 1 -> User 2
    User 2 -> User 1
    If its only one way, have a look at the 3rd party loginitems for the account your going to. If its both ways, see what 3rd party loginitems both accounts have in common. The best (though time consuming) way to eliminate the culprit is to remove all 3rd party apps from loginitems and add them in one at a time, testing for the problem each time.
    If you get the BSOD while actually logged in (say, while using Pages), try running activity monitor (or use terminal.app with the command 'top -u' (without the quotation marks)), and see if you can notice any process running at more than 30%CPU.
