How do I transfer files on the same iMac from one user to another?

I recently transferred files from my Macbook Pro to my iMac. Now I have two user profiles on my iMac. How do I transfer files from one user to the other user on the same iMac?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/Shared/ as the path, drag them there, and then to the desired location.

How do i share my pictures, music and videos from one user to another on the same computer?

lots of ways... you could use a thumb drive, you could drag files to the users public folder drop box, you could send it through email, you could use the internet servic called drop box (not to be confused with Apple's user public foldelr drop box).

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

How can I move my iPad's iTunes backup from one user to another?

Is it possible to move my iPad's iTunes backup from one user to another, so as to change which user the iPad is syncing to without deleting any app data? Currently the iPad is synced to one user on my iMac, and I would like to transfer it so that it will sync with a different user on the same iMac (using iTunes, of course). I'd like to replace content from the old user's iTunes library with my user (eg. music, movies), but I don't want to loose app data in the process if I can avoid it.
I have tried to use the pathway /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup but my iMac doesn't seem to have a MoblieSync folder. I wouldn't know what to do with the backup anyway though.
Can anyone help me or is this request too complicated, difficult, or impossible? Thanks for your help!

The Apple Document covers this. See the footnotes of my google docs
I've done this, it is easy, but takes time and patience.
On the existing mac with OSX and Configurator:
========================================
- run disk utility and verify your disks are ok, a must
- make note of the user logged in when using configurator such as "bob"
- connect a new or newly reformatted USB formatted for Apple
- run time machine and backup to the USB
- Take the mac off the network,
- Buy a new mac
- setup the mac with a new logon account like Paul or "bob2" do not use BOB !!
- finish the new purchase setup, get to your desktop
- now run the migraiton assistant moving bob from the USB to the new mac
- reboot, logon as bob, launch configurator and connect just one ipad. Test

How can I transfer entire contents of Mail mailbox from one Mac to another?

I've long wondered how to do this:
I have two Macs - an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
I have categorized several hundred emails on the MacBook into a separate "mailbox" by itself. Let's just call it "Project XYZ emails" for the sake of discussion.
I need to transfer ALL of those emails +en masse+, hopefully still categorized together into a separate "Project XYZ emails" mailbox file, from the MacBook to the iMac. How is this done?
In the old days, when I used to use Eudora, this was quite simple -- one could physically locate the separate desired "mailbox" file in the Finder and just copy it from one hard drive to the other, and then place the mailbox into the appropriate place of Eudora's file structure on the second computer. Relaunch Eudora and voila, the new mailbox is there for viewing, etc.
But in Mail, I can't find any tangible "file" on my hard drive that represents a "mailbox" in the Mail program. And that includes control-clicking the application file itself and choosing "Show Package Contents." When I do that, I can see, after burrowing into the folders, a single large file called "Mail" which I think contains ALL mailboxes lumped together. But I can't see a way to separate them for individual manipulation.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to copy entire mailboxes in Mail from one Mac to another?

Thanks! Seems to have worked.
Once I imported tham, I had to fiddle around renaming mailboxes and "moving" the emails to the desired locations, but that only took a minute. So overall, seems like that's the solution! I only wish that the steps to do this were made clearer by Apple in the Mail "help" menu -- where I couldn't find any mention of how to do this.
A happy ending, in any event.
In case anyone reads this in the future, let me add in the missing steps, to make it perfectly clear:
In Mail, choose 'archive mailbox' from the mailbox menu.
+Copy the newly created archived mailbox file, which will probably be a file with the suffix ".mbox," from the original machine to the second machine.+
On the second machine: In Mail choose 'import mailbox' from the file menu.
+The emails will now appear in a new mailbox in Mail listed under the name "imported" or "import." If desired, either rename the mailbox, or create a new mailbox with the correct name, and "move" all the emails into it.+
Done!

Importing multiple rows from the same date from one table to another.

I need to pull information from one sheet(Sheet 1) to another (Sheet 3). I am able to pull the first line of info with VLookup but need all rows for a specific date, which could range from zero to 10 rows depending on the day according to the date in cell G1 on Sheet 3. I am importing the needed information from Sheet 2 with vlookup, but since it is information from one cell to another its not an issue. Is there a way to transfer the needed data?

Hello
Here's another method to build a summary table, which calculates index of every row in source data matching given key and use the indices to retrieve rows of data.
E.g.,
Data (excerpt)
A1 date
A2 2015-03-12
A3 2015-03-12
A4 2015-03-12
A5 2015-03-12
B1 a
B2 A
B3 B
B4 C
B5 D
C1 b
C2 1
C3 2
C4 3
C5 4
Summary (excerpt)
A1 a
A2 =IF($D2<>"",INDEX(Data::B,$D2,1),"")
A3 =IF($D3<>"",INDEX(Data::B,$D3,1),"")
A4 =IF($D4<>"",INDEX(Data::B,$D4,1),"")
A5 =IF($D5<>"",INDEX(Data::B,$D5,1),"")
B1 b
B2 =IF($D2<>"",INDEX(Data::C,$D2,1),"")
B3 =IF($D3<>"",INDEX(Data::C,$D3,1),"")
B4 =IF($D4<>"",INDEX(Data::C,$D4,1),"")
B5 =IF($D5<>"",INDEX(Data::C,$D5,1),"")
C1 2015-03-11
C2
C3
C4
C5
D1 index
D2 =IFERROR(MATCH(C$1,Data::A,0),"")
D3 =IFERROR(MATCH(C$1,OFFSET(Data::A,D2,0,ROWS(Data::A)-D2,1),0)+D2,"")
D4 =IFERROR(MATCH(C$1,OFFSET(Data::A,D3,0,ROWS(Data::A)-D3,1),0)+D3,"")
D5 =IFERROR(MATCH(C$1,OFFSET(Data::A,D4,0,ROWS(Data::A)-D4,1),0)+D4,"")
Notes.
Formula in A2 and B2 can be filled down.
Formula in D3 can be filled down. Note that D2 has different formula than D3.
Tables are built in Numbers v2.
Hope this may help you to get the basic idea.

How can you transfer "my settings" for track instruments from one computer to another?

I am trying to transfer garage band recordings from laptop to desktop - the real instrument tracks have been adjusted manually and save as "my settings". How to I transfer those settings from my laptop to my desktop. The recordings show up but not with the settings.

Your personnal software Instruments are stored in the Instruments Library in your User Library.
For example, I have custom Choir settings stored in in a file:
~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Track Settings/Software/Synth Textures/riffyrifftest.cst
Copy the instruments in ~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Track Settings
to the corresponding folders on your desktop computer and install them there,
Regards
Léonie
P.S. is your profile signature current? Otherwise, if you are unsing Lion or Mt. Lion your user library may be hidden.

How do I transfer my Abode Photoshop Elements 11 from one laptop to another?

I lost my CD and box a long time ago. I don't know what my serial number is. I got a new laptop a few days ago, and I don't seem to be able to transfer it through a USB drive. Can I deactivate it on this computer and then transfer it via drive? Or is this even possible at all - do i have to buy the software all over again?

Thank you for the first part - I have found my serial number and have added Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to My Products on my account. I deactivated it on my old laptop, as well. Now, the site has my software's serial number and everything. However, I still have absolutely no clue as to how I am supposed to download my product - I can't find the trial version of it ANYWHERE on the site (there is only Elements 13). Can I not download my own product? Do I have to buy/upgrade to 13, or what?

How can i transfer my installation of Apple Configurator from one Mac to another?

I work at a secondary school in the UK. We currently have 20ish ipads, all configured and supervised through Apple configurator. As the mac we were using is rather old, we bought a new one, and I need to transfer all the apple configurator date from the old one to the new one.
I tried using the information from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5194?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I don't want to do a full restore from the old to the new as the old one has so much extra stuff on its HDD that isn't necessary any more. I only want to transfer the configurator data across so that I can plug our ipads into the new mac and they will work as before.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

How can you change all of the control codes from one number to another?

I'm trying to use CC11 for Dynamic Expression Control, rather than just runing the volume CC7 all the time. My problem is that I would like to do a large select of say all CC codes that are 7 and move them to be 11 rather than do it one event at a time. Is there a technique for this?

The Samplecontruct's recommendation is right and probably conformable if you want to process one or a few midi region(s) containing CC7.
In addition, if have multiple midi regions on a track and want to process in one step then the Transform window is recommended. I.e you select that track (which will select all regions), open the Transform and create the custom template I show in the pic below). Hit the "Select and Operate" (4) button which will select the matching contend (CC7) internally of the track selected regions and operate in one step. This saves time if you must select 50-60 regions and change their CC# using the Event list technique for instance.

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.
