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 apps from one account to another.?

    now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

    You can't.
    All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

  • Transfer files from one account to another on iMac

    How can I transfer files from another account on my iMac to my account.  I am the administrator of this iMac.  The files I want to copy are on the desktop of my son's account on this computer.  They are just too big to email to myself.
    Thank you.

  • 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 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 to easy transfer files from one user to another (OSX Mavericks)

  • How do i transfer funds from one account to another in the same table?

    Say for example i want to transfer funds from UserID 1111101 to UserID  1111103.
    Anyone know the procedure for this. I use php/mysql and dreamweaver.

    Here's a very basic method. Note that this is just pseudocode - you'll need to work out the actual code (I assume you've learned how in your course studies). Keep in mind this is a very simplified workflow - a real bank transaction would be MUCH more complex.
    Create a form that has fields for debit account, credit account, amount
    In your script, assign the values from the form to local variables
    $debit_acct
    $credit_acct
    $amount
    I'll assume you have an account balance table 'acct_bal'. Have a journal table to store those values along with the date and autonumber transaction id.
    Begin Trans
    INSERT into journal (credit_acct, debit_acct, amount, trans_date) VALUES ($credit_acct, $debit_acct, $amount, NOW())
    Get the transaction_id ($trans_id) from the INSERT statement- the method depends on which MySQL interface you are using.
    UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance + $amount) WHERE acct_id = $debit_acct
    UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance - $amount) WHERE acct_id = $credit_acct
    Rollback on any SQL error else Commit Trans.

  • How can i transfer credits from one account to another that I own ?

    Due to some personal issues I created multiple apple id accounts. I accidently added itunes credit to the account not associated with an app that I want to make a purchase on. Is there anyway I can transfer those funds to the proper account ?

    Apple has never permitted any form of merging of Apple ID related accounts.  All apps, and purchases in one account are permanently tied to that account and cannot be transfered to another.
    You can try communicating with the store support staff and see if they can do something to help: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/ituens/contact.html

  • How do you transfer purchases from one account to another

    I've used itunes since it's conception and have had several Ipods. Unfortunately, I also have two accounts. I'd like to consolodate all my purchases of songs and apps to one account for app update purposes and playing music on one set of authorized computers. Is there a way to do this?
    Davidfromwhitefish

    Nope.  He's right. Currently there is no way to consilidate or move purchases from multiple accounts into one.
    Sorry.

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

    I have gone on both accounts and allowed "sharing" but for some reason when i click on finder>macintosh HD> then users and then click on the other account, all the stuff is locked.
    I just need pictures and music off of the other one..how do I do this?
    Thanks!

    log into the other account and copy the pictures to some folder both accounts have access to like the folder /Users/Shared. then log into the first account copy the pictures from that folder to the first account. same with music.
    P.S. don't copy the folder Music and Pictures themselves. copy what's inside.
