How can I copy settings from one account to another on same iMac?

A week ago, my Nik plugin to Aperture and Photoshop crashed the these two apps. I created a new account, and now the plugin works without crashing int he new account. i want to transfer all my settings to the new account. How can I do it?

Create a new folder on the desktop, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Library/ as the path, move some of the items inside to that folder, keeping track of what you moved, try the plugin again, and repeat as needed.
Moving the wrong item to a different user account will transfer the problem.

    how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

    You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
    The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

  • 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.)

  • How can i move music from one account to another

    I have 4 different accounts in Itunes and i wish to move all the music into one account

    You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

  • How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

    I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
    My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
    Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

    *Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
    You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How can i transfer apps from one account to another.?

    now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

    You can't.
    All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

  • How can you copy properities from one object to another?

    If you create a number of boxes and then decided to change the color of all of them (or add a stroke, shadow, etc), is there a way to copy your style from one to the others?  In Photoshop you can copy layer styles, so you don't have to re-do everything for every layer you want the styles to be on.  How is this done in InDesign (CS3)?
    Thanks.

    From the object styles panel. Click on the object, define style (new object style), click on the next object, apply that new style. Even quicker than copy/paste. Then, if you make a change to the style, all objects are updated. Just want to do one?  Alter the object itself (and create a new style while you're at it ).

  • How can i transfer credits from one account to another that I own ?

    Due to some personal issues I created multiple apple id accounts. I accidently added itunes credit to the account not associated with an app that I want to make a purchase on. Is there anyway I can transfer those funds to the proper account ?

    Apple has never permitted any form of merging of Apple ID related accounts.  All apps, and purchases in one account are permanently tied to that account and cannot be transfered to another.
    You can try communicating with the store support staff and see if they can do something to help: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/ituens/contact.html

  • Can't access files from one account to another on same Mac

    I've got a new macbook and I've divided it into two accounts. One account has all my iTunes music but the other is a fresh iTunes with no music.
    I've been trying to get access to the music from the other account. It seems like it should be easy as it's already on this computer. I've tried copying the iTunes folder into the public folder and going to the other account and copying it to it but that's not working.
    I've also tried sharing the files from the Sharing sys prefs. But can't get that to work. And I've also put the Music folder into the Shared folder and still nothing.
    The folders I need have the red minus on them.
    I must be missing something simple. Help!
    Thanks.

    wireduck,
    Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I copy extensions from one computer to another?

    I use about a dozen extensions on one computer, and would like to use the same ones with the same settings on another computer. Copying the cryptically-named folders from the ...Profiles/xxxx.default/extensions folder doesn't work - FF doesn't seem to know they are there, even after a restart.
    Using FF 3.6.8 on WinXP Sp2

    After you copy the extensions folder and all sub-folders, in the profile folder delete extensions.cache, extensions.rdf and extensions.ini, this will force Firefox to rebuild the list of extensions. The problem with this approach is some extensions will create files and folders elsewhere in the profile folder, and many will add preferences to the prefs.js file. I find it easier to have copies of the .xpi files for the extensions and re-install them.
    Another way to do this is by using another extension, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE].

  • How can I copy light from one window to another in a photo?

    I am looking at printing an image I shot last winter as our Christmas card this year. There are three windows in a mediaeval building, each composed of multiple leaded panes and the one on the extreme left is lit. My partner would like to have the middle one lit as well. Is this feasible without commiting huge amounts of time to the project or do I need to rebook the snow and arrange a reshoot?

    brahma56,
    Here is another approach to light up the window:
    Open picture file
    Open a blank layer on top of this, fill it with black, blend mode normal, opacity 75% or so. Rename it "black night"
    Create new layer above this, name it "window 1", blend mode hard light
    Access lasso tool and select the window, feather=0
    Select a soft brush, mode normal, opacity 20-30%, paint window from bottom up. Should be a tad lighter at top vs. bottom. Use the "light" color from the window on the left which you can get with the eyedropper tool for your foreground color
    Use eraser tool to tidy up
    If wood slats on window are obscure, open a new layer at top, select foreground color from the window frame on the left, and using square brush, reconstruct same. TIP: When using brush tool, click at start point, hold down shift key, click on end point to get a straight line.
    Adjust opacity of black night layer to suit
