How can I transfer or make readable files from one user to another on the same iMac

I have migrated files from a windows PC to my Imac. The transferred files have been saved successfully against a new user (which I can access). How can I make those files available to the all users of my Imac?

In FINDER, drag and drop the files into the Public Folder.  All Users can then access those files.
Hope this helps

  • How do I transfer fonts on my notebook from one user to another on the same notebook (macbook air)?

    Hi can someone please help me in simple terms...
    Here is what I am trying to do.
    I have 2 users on my notebook (macbook air)  Tracey Brock (administrator)  Little Munchkins (second user)
    The templates that I have moved from my origingal user (Tracey Brock) to (Little Munchkins) all look different and has different font format. eg: I used Baby boston in original template on Tracey Brocks User and when I open it in Little Munchkins it has Arial as the font. I want it to be Baby Boston. I realised that this is because I have used fonts that were not originally in my fontbook on Tracey Brock and need to install these fonts in Little Munchkins but not sure how to do this.
    I copies the fontbook from Tracey Brock user to Little Munchkins user and placed it on the desktop but not sure how to get these into my Little Munchkins fontbook in applications.
    Can anyone help me with simple easy to follow instructions? No good with termonoligy.
    Any help would be greaty appreciated.
    P.S I am using OS X Mountain Lion if that helps.
    Thakyou in advace

    Open two Finder windows. In the first, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/Fonts/ as the path. Repeat the process with the second, but delete the ~ in the path. Drag the fonts from the first window to the second.

  • How can I move my DRM-protected movies from one disk to another on the same computer without running afoul of the big movie houses?

    I need to off-load my digital copies to another disk I just bought, located on the same computer, so I can have more room for other things; my collection is getting too big, I guess.  I'm afraid if I just move them and re-integrate them back into the iTunes library, it will mess up the DRM status and lock me out entirely.  I'm hoping it won't treat this exercise as one of my allocated copies and increment the counter counting device transfers.  Any ideas as to how to safely do this (without hacking, etc.)?
    Thanks.

    is this second library in a different account on the computer?

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

    How do i share my pictures, music and videos from one user to another on the same computer?

    lots of ways... you could use a thumb drive, you could drag files to the users public folder drop box, you could send it through email, you could use the internet servic called drop box (not to be confused with Apple's user public foldelr drop box).

    How to move iTunes from one user to another on the same Windows 7 computer? Thanks, Bob

    Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

  • How to transfer files from one partition to another on the same computer

    I had a crash could not boot back into my 8.1 upgrade. Went out bought standalone 8.1. I loaded it on HD free space now I want to transfer files from one partition to another.

    hi
    say there are two infoobjects X  and Y.
    X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
    go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
    This is one way.
    Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
    Hope this helps.
    Kindly assign the points if it helps.

  • How can I migrate from one user to another within the same computer?

    My main user account in my desktop is becoming buggy after to many migrations from different computers and long time usage. I would like to migrate from one user to another user within the same computer to see if this improves my current problems.
    How can I do it in a reasonably safe and quick way?
    Thank you very much, cheers, Rui
    iMAC, OS 10.6.8... and yes, I love Snow Leopard light and handy... and all my programs work on it...

    Move small groups of files to the /Users/Shared/ folder or another location and see if the problems disappear. Moving everything to a new user account will in all probability transfer the problems.

  • How do I move imove content from one user to another on the same computer?

    We bought our Macbook pro about six months ago. We made the mistake of creating two users for it (my husband and myslef) but bow we only log in under my user name. The problem is we originally imported all of our video camera content to his "log in" and now it is in his imovie folder, and not mine. I want to make a movie on my log in with the fottage that we imported to his. So, how do I get video content from one users login on the SAME computer to the other log in users? I cannot seem to move it for the life of me. I did not expect this to be so difficult.

    Hi,
    You need to log into his account and look, under the Movies folder, for iMovie Events. Inside, you'll find folders with the events names and still further will be the movie itself. Copy each to an external media or use the Shared folder so both accounts can reference them.
    Another option would be to attach an external HD and via iMovie (Events Library pane) move them to the new disk. You would preserve the thumbnails and analysis already performed on the videos.
    Good luck!

  • How can I transfer my iTunes Media Library from one PC to another without losing files and making a mess of the file and album structure?

    I have imported a number of Café del Mar CD's to iTunes, and iTunes keeps scattering the tunes into several different folders in iTunes Media. It also has trouble finding album information, unless it has been downloaded from iTunes Store. Previous versions of iTunes I have tried didn't have this problem.
    I've tried to tidy the files manually in iTunes Media, but that usually results in duplicates, so I stopped messing with it. I actually wouldn't mind iTunes blowing up my albums into a nightmare file structure of hyper categorization in iTunes Media (Album, Album Artist, Artist, etc.) if only it recognised its own mess when I transfer the library from one iTunes library into another.
    An example: I downloaded Cafe del Mar - Essential Elements featuring 13 tunes, two of these can be found in the files Cafe del Mar/Cafe del Mar Essential Elements, iTunes also created the folder Cafe del Mar/Cafe del_Mar Essential Elements containing 0 tunes!?! and the rest of the tunes are found under Rue de Soleil in the root folder, indicating ONE of the artists as the criteria for creating a folder of tunes!?!
    I am trying with every fiber NOT to hate this program, and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I can move an iTunes Media library of aprox 54 gb from my desktop via an external harddisk onto my laptop. I have tried 4 times, and everytime the result varies. Sometime I transfer 3000 files, other times 4000. Which files follow and don't is random. I lose files tranferring to the external harddisk and lose even more files from the external disk to the new library on my Lap. Do I have to transfer song for song or can this genius program actually transfer a larger amount of files without losing half the files and duplicating the rest?
    Is there a limit of size or amount of files?

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • How can I transfer a pre-installed licence from one PC to another?

    I have an old laptop that was purchased pre-installed with Photoshop Elements (looks like both version 7 and 9) but the laptop is on it's last legs and is about to be consigned to the scrapheap.
    I have purchased a new replacement laptop and want to transfer the licence from the old one to the new one. I have searched the Adobe web site and have found and downloaded the installation files for both PE 7 and 9 but they naturally ask for serials during the install process. Because the original laptop had the software preinstalled there was no dvd or e-mail with the licence key. How can I interrogate the old laptop to find my key?
    Thanks
