Hi roseabe
Please give us more details. What kind of computer (model, speed) are you trying to transfer from and to?
Besides, you don't hold down cmd/apple+"T" on the target computer - just the "T" key.

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 to move projects from one computer to another?

Hi,
What is the best way to move a project in labview signalexpress from one computer to anotherone and include all log files?
As i try i get the error mistake ""the project that you just opened contains logs which are linked to the following deleted files. you need to restore these files in order for this project to work correctly".
Thanks for reply!
Erik

Hi Erik,
I hope your well and sorry for the delay... busy day in the UK Office!
So here is some information on SE LE and Full Differences:
LabVIEW SignalExpress Limited Edition, otherwise known as LabVIEW
SignalExpress LE, is software included with all National Instruments
NI-DAQmx supported hardware devices. It allows the user to acquire,
log, and export data with ease. With LabVIEW SignalExpress LE, users
are now able to create one log per project and then export the
collected data to ASCII or have it displayed in Excel. LabVIEW
SignalExpress LE meets many basic data logging needs.
However,
LabVIEW SignalExpress LE does not provide more complex data logging
functionalities. It is not capable of inline analysis functions, data
logging alarms and events, documentation view, multiple data logging
files in a single project and other more advanced data logging
operations. These features are all available with LabVIEW SignalExpress.
When
LabVIEW SignalExpress LE is first installed, the user is given a free
30-day trial of LabVIEW SignalExpress. After the 30-day trial period
has expired, the user either chooses to register their copy of LabVIEW
SignalExpress to continue using the Limited Edition or purchase LabVIEW
SignalExpress.
By default, LabVIEW SignalExpress LE displays
only the features available in the Limited Edition. The settings can be
configured so that the steps available in the Full Edition are also
displayed. Select Tools>>Options to display the Options dialog box. On the General page, select Yes for the Show unlicensed steps option.
For
a summary of the differences between LabVIEW SignalExpress Limited
Edition and LabVIEW SignalExpress features refer to the following chart:
(See Attachment)
So this leads me to beleive you should be okay. You can copy and paste the SE.proj file from machine to machine.
Let me know how you get on,
Kind Regards,
Kind Regards

How to transfer music from one computer to another when they are at 2 diffe

yes hi I was wondering how do i get music off of my one computer to another when they are in two different homes. they are both authorized to my account but i have music on one that i want on my other. can anyone please help.

Hello!
To have same library on both of your authorized machines, you need first locate, on both of them, the iTunes Media Folder location (Preferences > Advanced) then you need make them syncronized. How to do this, will exists some tools, I will not go further about that stuff, you can google them... back to topic:
After you do any change to the files content of one library, you can just drag and drop the media folder on iTunes, it will rescan the library itself and update all changes you made.
Be aware if your machines are authorized on multiple accounts, you need be logged on store with the account used to purchase any drm-enabled song you want to listen.

Updating your iPod's software, whether a major update or not, will re-sync the music to it from the computer after the software is finished installing.

Unless the music is bought from iTunes, then you won't be able to transfer it without third-party software.
You won't be able to transfer music that wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store using an iPod Touch because the Ipod Touch (First-Generation anyway, as far as I know) doesn't allow disk use.
I do not know of any third party software that is completely free and provides this ability through its demo.
Here is an article from Apple that you can use if you have any other kind of iPod available to use that allows disk use:

How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

How to move messages from one computer to another?

Just got my new iMac and have successfully transferred everything over from my old computer except the mail in the mailboxes.
Anyone know how to do that?

From the File menu in mail, select Import. Navigate to the old computer (connected via Target mode). Go to ~/Library/mail, and look for POP or IMAP folder names. They begin with these, and have a " - " in them. Import one for each account.
You could also use that Mail folder, and ~/Library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist, and replace them on the Leo install, to rebuild.

I am working for a company that installed Adobe After Effects 5 last year on one Imac machine and we need to move that program to another computer. I believe they downloaded the application.

If the company purchased an electronic software download version of the product then you should be able to complete the following steps to download the software:
Go to the Adobe Store for your country and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
Click My Orders and then My Order History.
Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
Start the download by doing one of the following:
Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Alternate Download Method, and then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.
