How to move files from one user to another?

I have an account for my wife on my iMac and started up in her account and then backed up her iBook into this account (on my computer). I wasn't thinking that this would mean her files would not be accessible to me. Is there a way to be able to transfer some of these files to my Documents folder?
Thanks for any suggestion.
Richard

Richard,
Don't worry. It is kind of complicated and kind of redundant. There are little buttons at the top right of each poster's post that say helpful and solved and reply and email. You can award the post as either helpful or solved in addition to marking your whole question as solved. It takes a little getting used to but you'll see how it works.
Good luck in '07!

Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

Hello,
Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
** Fast & simple file copy. */
public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
FileChannel in = null, out = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
long size = in.size();
MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
out.write(buf);
} finally {
if (in != null) in.close();
if (out != null) out.close();
================SECOND WAY============
AND THIS WAY:
// Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
copy(src, dest);
src.delete();
// Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
in.close();
out.close();
And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
Thanks in advance,

How to copy files from one user to another on same macbook pro

I used the migration assistant to move files from an old windows pc to my new macbook pro. It created a second user and put everything there. I now can't figure out how to move them so they are under me.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The easiest way is to put your files in /Users/Shared. To access to this folder, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type that directory.
That folder can be read by all users, so you won't have any problem to copy your files to the other user account.
Another option would be to copy your files to an external drive. Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

How do i move files from one user to another user?

i transferred files, etc. from an ibook G4 to my new macpro. i had 3 users on the older ibook. when i try to open files as one of the users from the ibook on my macpro, it says i do not have permission to open the files. i am the administrator on both computers. i would like to do away with all users and merge everything and re-organize into files.

You can go to /Users - select the other user folder - do a Command+I (Get Info) on it. Toggle open Permissions. Click the lock to allow changes. Hit the + sign at the bottom and add yourself to the list. Change the permissions next to your name to read and write. Under the gear menu select apply to enclosed items.
Close the Get Info window and repeat with all other user folders.
Now you cou can copy all the data to your own User and get rid of the other User directories.

How to move photos from one user to another

I have photos in iPhoto on one user but I need to move them to another user on my iMac.

I have photos in iPhoto on one user but I need to move them to another user on my iMac.
Move the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder in the first account to the "Shared" folder on your Mac.
Sign into your second account and drag the iPhoto Library to the Pictures folder.
Then repair the permissions on the iPhoto Library using the First Aid Tools. The files inside your iPhoto library will belong to the original owner.
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Then select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid panel.

How to move iphotos from one user to another?

Hi,
I inherited my sister's computer and have her iphoto album under her user, and my iphoto album under my user. I would like to import a large number of photos from her iphoto to mine. how do I do it?
Thanks,
Katarina

Hi Katrina,
You should be able to do this easily.
First thing you should do is figure out who is the "Admin" account on your computer. The easiest way I have found to do this is to change the permissions of the entire account the pictures are in so you can access it or vice versa.
Click on Mac HD > Users > Pictures > iPhoto Library > highlight folder and right click on "Get Info" > look at bottom of new window, Ownership & Permsision, this box will tell you if you can Read & Write, etc. > now open up "Details" and change the "Owner" to your account > Access: Read & Write > hit the "Apply to enclosed items" button. You can now access your sister's iPhoto library from your account.
You can open your sisters iPhoto Library by holding down OPTION key while opening iPhoto > in dialog "Choose" navigate to your sisters iPhoto library and open. I think it would be best to use the export option to a folder on your desktop for images, afterwards close iPhoto, to open your library use the OPTION Key > Choose navigate to your libary, now add images etc etc etc...
While you have persmissions set this way, your sister will not be able to access her iPhoto library till it's switched back by the Admin account...

Ssis - move files from one directory to another and rename destination file if present

Hello,
How is it possible to move files from one directory to another directory and if the file already exists in destination directory then rename it?
Thanks

1. Use a foreach loop with file enumerator pointing to first directory.
Inside loop have a ssis variable of type string to get filename (@[User::FileName])
Choose option as Fully Qualified in loop
2. Add another variable called @[User::DestFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],<source directory path>,<destination directory path>)
put actual paths in above expression in your case
and another variable called @[User::RenameFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".","_old.")
3. Create a boolean variable say @[User::FileEXists]
4. Add a Script Task inside the loop and pass @DestFileName variable in ReadOnly mode and FileExists in ReadWrite mode
Inside Script Task write code as per below
http://blog.dbandbi.com/2013/11/13/check-file-exists-ssis/
5. Add File System Task choose operation as Rename File, Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::RenameFileName] variable
6. Choose ExpressionAndConstraint option for precedeence constraint from ScriptTask to above File System Task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and expression as
@FileExists == True
7. Add another File System task with operation as Move File Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::FileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable. Join Script Task as well as
File System Task above to this task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and Multiple Constraint option as Or (dotted line)
Then once executed it will work as per your requirement

Can't move files from one volume to another

Using the 1.2 client on SLED, I don't appear to be able to move files from
one volume to another. I have two drive "mappings", each to a
different volume on a NW65SP5 box, but when I try and cut and paste files
I get an error saying "Not on the same file system". However if I drop to
a terminal and just use mv, that works.
Is this a known issue?
Joe

Hmm, yep get the smae problem when trying to move files.
Copy works just great though.
I know there are some issues in Gnome/Nautilus that's being worked upon.
These are outlined in the Readme. For example it's not possible to copy a
folder from Server A to Server B, then delete the folder form Server A.
Finally later on copy the folder back to Server A from Server B.
Also Gnome is leaking file handles, which could be the cause for the
problem we're getting here.
I'll ask my contact at Novell about this and have him enter it in as a bug
if it's not a known issue.
For a workaround you already have a good alternative of using mv in a
terminal.

Can I move files from one caralog to another?

Can I move files from one caralog to another?

No. you cannot.
This, among many other reasons, is why multiple catalogs are not recommended.
(You could import the photo into another catalog, and delete from the first catalog ... and without first using the command File->Write Tags, you will lose your tags, captions and other metdata; version sets, stacks, album/collection membership are lost in any case)
