How do i transfer files from 1 user profile to another

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/Shared/ as the path, drag them to it, and if desired, from there into the second account's home folder.

  • How can I transfer files from one user to another user?

    I have a Macbook Air with 10.9.5.
    I have two admin users.  I want to transfer all the files from User A to User B's profile so that I can get rid of User A and just use User B from now on.  So far I can access the files if I change sharing permissions but the files are not under the root User B's folder still.   Any ideas on how to do this?  I also have greyed out folders when I created User B in the root directory. 
    Root folder /UserA/  includes all the usual folder links like desktop, documents, etc,  including some created one for example "myoldphotos".   When i created UserB/ it has all the desktop, documents, etc folders (but with nothing in them since it's new) but also the myoldphotos folder, except it's greyed out and I can't do anything with it at all or open it or anything. it's just there?  

    Thank you, that worked to transfer files.  After I move it into my normal home folder, can I delete it from the Shared folder?
    Also if anyone has any ideas on the greyed out folders I would be thankful.  For example I moved the 'myoldphotos' folder from users/UserA to users/Shared then from there to users/UserB  and it worked.  HOWEVER, the greyed out mysterious folder is still there and i can't do anything about it.  It also affected my new copied folder, changing the name from myoldphotos to "myoldphotos 2"  like as if there IS a folder there with the same name already.   I can't click on the greyed out folder to open it or anything.

  • How do I transfer files from one iMac to another

    I have an Intel iMac (2007ish) that has started playing up.  I can no longer start the machine but it will start in Target Disk Mode.
    I have just bought another iMac (brand new 2014), have set it up and was wondering how I now get the files from one to the other.  Usually I know Migration Assistant can be used but as I cannot start the other machine I cannot use this option.  So far as I know, the only option now is to use the Target Disk Mode feature but how do I now get the files and what files do I need to get?
    Any help and advice would be appreciated for my predicament?
    Many thanks.
    Stefan

    If you backed up the old machine using Time Machine or created a bootable clone then simply connect the old machine backup HD to the new machine and launch Migration Assistant (Applications - Utilities - Migration Assistant) and follow the on-screen prompts. If you never created a back up then follow Rudegar's advice and whatever you do begin backing up the new machine immediately. There is absolutely no reason for not having a backup!

  • How do I transfer files from one account to another?

    I did a PC to Mac migration and that was transferred successfully. Now, though, I want to transfer the files brought over from my PC (that are now on another account on my Mac) to my main account. I searched for a solution and found that I should be able to do it through my shared folder, but my other account is not showing up in my shared folder so I'm not sure how to go about this. Thanks

    Any account should have access to the Shared folder:
    It's outside of any user's home directory and should be accessible from any account. If you're having problems, call back...

  • How can I transfer files from one person to another using iClouds?

    Good day to everyone. Prior to migrating to iCloud I enjoyed the use of iDisk that allowed me to perform the file share service with ease. I cannot find my way to doing the same with iCloud, can anyone help me?

    DropBox is good: my personal preference would be for Sugarsync as you can sync any number of nominated folders instead of being limited to a specific DropBox folder. There are more details of both in the page I linked to.
    I'll second Roger's recommendation for SugarSync, more flexibility, wider range of supported devices and more free storage than DropBox.

  • How Can I Transfer Files From  One Computer To Another

    I was wondering if it is possible to connect two computers by an ethernet cable and share files between them. I have a wireless router but I don't want to set up a network and I am only going to use this once to put some iTunes songs on my laptop.

    Yes. Look in your Window Help for "file sharing", or search the web for "Windows XP file sharing" and you'll find information and instructions. You'll probably need a crossover Ethernet cable to get your two systems to communicate.

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....
