How do I transfer data from one username to another?

Hi,
I got a two-button mouse and it started twitching uncontrollably after a few months. Simply Computing advised that I create a new username and transfer data like photos, instant messenger contacts, documents, etc. from my old one to the new one. How do I do that?

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and create a new user; next, log in with that user. If your issue persists, it won't be resolved by moving files around, and you should try a different mouse. If the issue doesn't occur in the new user account, log back into the original one and move some of the files from the folder with the house icon to the desktop, noting down what you've moved after each move. If a specific folder contains an item which causes your issue, continue with the items in that folder until you've found the problem file or you've run out of files to move. If you run out of items in the home folder to check, look at the contents of the /Library/Caches/ folder on your hard disk.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • How do you transfer data from one iPad to another after manual setup of new device?

    Okay so, i just got a new iPad air, to replace with my old ipad 2. I have already set up the new ipad, and backed up the old one. I went into the settings of the new iPad, and hit 'Restore from backup'. When i did this, it restored the ipad to the backup, but it only managed to get all of my photos, and three of my apps. None of my music was transferred, and neither was the rest of the backup. Now i cannot figure out how to transfer the rest of the data to the new ipad. How do i do this??

    If you only backup with iCloud and have never used iTunes, then there is nothing more for you to do. But you have the iPad original so I'm guessing that you must have used iTunes at some point. This is what I would do - if you still use iTunes.
    Backup the iPad, transfer purchases into iTunes, and sync one last time. If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

    After you have all content saved in iTunes and iCloud go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings to wipe the old iPad.
    When you get the new iPad, restore from your backup and then sync with iTunes. You will have the option of restoring from iCloud or iTunes when you set the iPad up. I used iTunes because I still use iTunes as my main backup and iCloud as my "backup" backup.
    At some point, remove the old iPad as an associated device in iTunes. Do this after you erase the iPad,

  • How do you transfer data from one iPad to another when upgrading models?

    Hello.
    I am about to sell my iPad 1 and buy a new iPad.
    How do I save my old setup and keep my purchased Apps (music, etc)?... I already made a backup in iCloud, but don't see any menu to allow for restoring any or all my information...
    Should I deregister my old iPad before or after I reset it to factory setup?
    Is there anything else I should I do before selling the device?
    Thanks,
    Jacques

  • How do you transfer data from one device to another??

    I have an iPod Touch and i would like to purchase an iPad. So i am wondering if i can safely transfer the data from the ipod to the ipad? I have a lot of games that took a long time to achieve things in and i would not like to loose all that data. So i was wondering if i used the same itunes account and the same gamecenter account if this would work? I really dont know what will work and what won't work, so if you could help me out i would really like to know. Thanks

    Sort of but its kind of all or nothing for the whole device.
    You can restore the iPad from a Touch backup in iTunes but it will overwrite all the information and data on your iPad. You could then re-sort out your iPad but its kind of overkill.
    There is no application specific data transfer.
    Sorry !

  • How can I Move data from one column to another in my access table?

    I have two columns, one that stores current month’s data and one that stores last month’s data. Every month data from column 2 (this month’s data) needs to be moved to column 1 that holds last month’s data. I then null out column 2 so I can accumulates this month’s data.
    I understand how to drop a column or add a column, how do I transfer data from one column to another.
    Here is my trial code:
    <cfquery name="qQueryChangeColumnName" datasource="#dsn#">
      ALTER TABLE leaderboard
      UPDATE leaderboard SET  points2 = points3
    </cfquery>
    Unfortunately, I get the following error:
    Error Executing Database Query.
    [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
    How can I transfer my data with the alter table method?

    I looked up the Access SQL reference (which is probably a
    good place to start when having issues with Access SQL), and
    it suggests you probably need a WHERE clause in there.
    I agree the documentation is a good place to start. But you should not need a WHERE clause here.
    Too few parameters. Expected 1.
    If you run the SQL directly in Access, what are the results? At the very least, it should provide a more informative error message..

  • How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

    Hi All,
             How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
             Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saket Tiwari,
    I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
    explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
    1) Append data line by line.
         Syntax :  APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
    this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
    2) Using COLLECT statement.
                 COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables.  Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
         Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
    3) Using INSERT statement
         Syntax  INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
    INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
    Now coming to your request..
    To append part or all of an internal table
         Syntax
                  APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
    *     Note:
    Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
    b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
         Syntax
              INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
              INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
    c) Using Move statement.
    To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
         Syntax MOVE  <itab1> To <itab2>.
                   OR
              <itab1> = <itab2>.
    but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
    These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line  the syntax becomes,
    ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
    Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
    for this we use    
                                MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
        this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
            sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
    I hope the information provided has been of your help.
    Reward if useful.
    Regards,
    Jose

    How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro

    It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
    But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..

    Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it.
