How do I merge two accounts into one account that contains all the files from both?

When I was running my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard, I had one account for business that was encripted and another account that was unencripted for personal.  Now, under Lion, the whole disc gets encripted so I don't really need two acounts.  How do I merge the accounts together into one account and retain all the files from both?
Thanks,
Dave

  • HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

    I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

    Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
    EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

  • How to sinc two computers and get all the files from both

    Not sure if this is the right forum for the issue, but... I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook, and I use one or the other for my work. That way I get part of my work on one, and other part on the other Mac. Now, I would like to sinc both of them, so that I have all the files from iMac on the MB, vice versa. I know that I could go slowly and use an external hard drive, copy files from one computer, save on another, but is there any handier and faster way to do it?
    Thanks

  • How can I merge two iTunes folder, one with music and the other without?

    Two years ago Apple support suggested moving my iTunes folder out of my Home folder to the HD level in order to share it across users. This is no longer necessary. How do I move my music back to my Home folder since now I have an Itunes folder at the HD level (along with application, library, system, users folders) and an Itunes folder under Music in my Home folder. For example both those itunes folders have a mobile application, album artwork, and previous itunes library subfolder as well as itunes library extras.itdb and itunes library genius.itdb. How do I merge them or which ones do I delete? The files in the mobile app folder in my Home folder have a newer "last modified" date. Currenty under Itunes-->Preferences-->Advanced, it says Itunes media location is /itunes/itunes media/ music. I assumes that is the HD level folder. What happens if I hit reset?
    I am using Itunes 10.6.3.
    Any help tailored to a novice would be great. Thanks.

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?

  • How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?  I used to do it with iTunes/Advanced/Join Tracks, but iTunes 11 does not have an "Advanced" button.

    How can I merge 2 tracks into one track with iTunes 11?

    Thanks for your reply, Jim.  I imported a CD that I had burned previously with the 2 tracks of sound effects that I had downloaded from the internet (MP3 files), but I did not see an option to join the tracks when I imported the CD.  In the upper right corner there were three buttons: Options, CD Info, and Import CD.  When I click on Options, the drop-down menu has two choices: "Get Track Names"  and "Submit CD Track Names".   I cannot find an option to Join Tracks.  Help!

How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one (when I have no password and the security questions aren't working?)

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

  • How do I combine two regents into one in Logic Pro Arrange?

    how do I combine two regents into one in Logic Pro Arrange?

    Thanks for your input kcstudio. I would still be left with 2 regions although one after the other, on one track.
    I am trying to save steps of the way I am combining the info of 2 seperate regions into one: bouncing the 2 tracks then re-importing that audio back into the project. It would save a lot of time if you could just drag one region on top of the other

  • How Do I Combine Several Images Into One Image Which Contains Links To A Series Of Web Sites?

    How do I combine several images into one such that the combined image contains a series of web links? In particular, I’d like to create such an image and put it into my Outlook email signature. At present, as per the image below, I have at least six separate images in my email signature with each image containing a web link. Is Photoshop the best tool for this job? Or would it be easier to do this in some other package? I have three packages at my disposal: Photoshop, Ilustrator and Dreamweaver. Can someone please explain in detail how I would do this? Or perhaps someone could direct me to a link that explains how to do this. Thank you.

    Thank you for that correction, Hobotor. I admit I hadn't thought about an image map, in the context of someone who doesn't seem to know HTML very well...  My thinking was running along the use of the Photoshop Slice Tool to get most of the way there...
    To expand on the above, if you were to slice up your image using the Slice Tool, say like this:
    Save for Web & Devices will create the HTML and save all the sub-images.
    Then you edit the HTML and add a (hypertext link) elements surrounding the various images.  Only thing is you'll have to set the border-style of the images to none.
    For example:
    <!-- Save for Web Slices () -->
    <table id="Table_01" width="554" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td colspan="10">
       <img id="Sig_01" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_01.jpg" width="554" height="56" alt="" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="10">
       <a href="http://www.GrahamsWebSite.com"><img id="Sig_02" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_02.jpg"
            width="554" height="43" alt="" /></a></td>
    </tr>
    etc.

  • I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone  ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.

    How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

    You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  It will clone your HD to the external.  The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

  • Question - how do I combine two users into one?

    I have migrated a lot of data to a MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant, in the process two users have been created on the Mac. How do I combine the two users into one?

    You don't. Just log in with one, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path. and drag the folder there; you'll need to provide an administrator password at some point.
