How do I move my saved Mail, iPhoto, and iTunes folders to a new account on the same hard drive?

My home folder is corrupted. I created a new user account and it seems to be fine. I'd like to transfer all my data files to my new account. This is no problem with most applications, but I'm not sure what to do with Apps that save the data themselves.

How do I import bookmarks from FF in one OS to another OS on the same hard drive?

I've installed ubuntu lucid lynx and want to move my bookmarks from hardy heron. Both OS are on the same hard drive on different partitions. I've tried using the import option in the library but can't find the appropriate HTML file.

You need to mount that other partition to be able to access files on it and then browse to the hidden profile folder on that partition.
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox
You can only restore a JSON backup, unless you export the bookmarks in that other OS to an HTML file.

How can I verify credit of an itunes card that has already been redeemed? My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

How can I verify credit for an itunes card that has already been redeemed? My Grandson and I both redeemed itune cards on our shared account about the same time. There isn't a credit balance after his purchase?

Have you checked the account's purchase history to see if anything could have used up the balance : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
If there aren't any purchases then try logging out and back into the account (e.g. on your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Stores and then log back in) and see if a balance then shows on it. My account's balance shows at the top right of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, by clicking on my name towards the top right of the iTunes screen, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iPad devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files. The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB. How do I solve problem?

I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files. The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB. How do I solve problem?

I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
To resolve the problem, I used Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

If i previously had my iTunes library set up on an external hard drive, how do I get my iTunes on my new mac pro to operate off of the same hard drive?

I recently bought a mac pro. I previously had a macbook that I had set up for iTunes to run off of an external hard drive. How do I set up my mac pro to run off of this hard drive? I have been trying to figure it out for the last hour and have had no luck.
I have tried to move my itunes folder on my mac pro to my external hard drive but am having no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you had the entire library running from the external drive it should be a matter of holding down option as you start iTunes and browsing to the library on the external drive.
If you'd followed the advice to move the media folder only then ideally you need to recover the library folder from your Macbook with a view to making the library portable on the external drive.
Otherwise you're going to have to simply import the content into a new library, losing rating, playlists, play counts. etc.
If you have any devices that sync to your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do I get my Firefox bookmarks off of my old hard drive (now installed on my new computer as the 2nd hard drive) and into my new installation of Firefox on my new computer?

How do I get my old Firefox bookmarks off the old hard drive and into my new Firefox installation?

You can find your current profile using about:support pasted into the location bar then click on "Open Containing folder. That is where you will want to replace your old files into.
Next find your old profile on your old HD, see
:https://support.mozilla.com/questions/886839
With Firefox down replace the profile files you decide to replace.

Saving files on the same hard drive time machine is using

I was wondering how I go about saving files other than backups on the hard drive I purchased. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you haven't started your Time Machine backups yet you can partition your new drive, using one partition for Time Machine and the other for file storage. If you assign partition #1 to Time Machine you can reclaim the space on partition #2 for Time Machine at a later time.
You can follow the directions in this article. for formatting/partitioning a drive for Time Machine but you want to end up with two partitions rather than one. People with PPC Macs should substitute Apple Partition Map for GUID when following the directions.

HT201407 How do I activate my iphone 4 phone number? My old iPhone broke and want to activate this new one with the same number

Long story: My son broke his iphone 4 screen through repeated droppings. But my wife upgraded from her iphone 4 to the 5, and wants to give said son her unblemished 4. He has saved to icloud and we have deleted all the content and restored settings on wife's iphone 4. So on the unbroken iphone 4 all of the son's contents, contacts, app, etc., are there, but how do I activate the phone with his number? so he can receive calls/ texts?

Insert the active SIM card for that phone number and connect the iphone to itunes.

I deleted my Firefox Sync Account. How can I set up a new account on the same device?

Now, when I open Firefox, and go to Tools, there is only the option to "Sync Now," rather than the option to "Set Up Sync." My account is definitely deleted, b/c Sync replies "Unable to locate your account" if I try to sync. How do I set up a new Sync Account on this same device? Thanks.

karenbee,
Here's the solution for PCs: Tools>Options, then click Sync in the Options window. Good luck.
