HT4796 After using the migration tool , all my files were moved but not I have two logins.

I have two logins .  One when I set up the Mac and one label Dell that have my documents and itunes library on it. How do I merge them?

Move the files from one account to /Users/Shared/ and then into the other account's home folder, or drag one account's home folder to the other's desktop.

  • After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

    I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

    Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • How to migrate Master Data (Rule set etc.) from GRC 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool"

    Greetings,
    We are currently on GRC 5.3 SP 18 (Java ONLY) and migrating to GRC 10.1. I referred the Migration Guide which outlines that GRC 5.3 needs to be upgraded to SP 20 as pre-requisite for using the "Migration Tool" . Our BASIS team is reluctant to perform this upgrade from SP 18 to SP 20.
    Having said thus, I'm exploring options of migrating data from 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool:.
    Rule set Migration:
    I'm in the process of preparing the 9 different files (listed below) and later utilize the "Upload Rule" option for migrating the Rule set data from 5.3 to 10.1.
    While I'm able to gather data for most of the files I'm not sure how can I obtain the data pertaining to the two files (Function Actions and Function Permissions) underlined and highlighted in Red below.
    1. Business Process
    2. Function
    3. Function Business Process
    4. Function Actions
    5 .Function Permissions
    6. Rule Set
    7. Risk
    8. Risk Description
    9. Risk Rule Set Relationship
    10. Risk Owner Relationship
    Can someone please enlighten me and share their experience with regards to this exercise. Really appreciate your help !
    - Janantik.

    I have done this successfully before.  Because you are having issues, I would NOT recommend using the migration tool to move the ruleset.  Instead:
    1. Download the ruleset files from 5.3
    2. The 5.3 tcode-permission file, which defines which tcode permissions from SU24 need to be checked during risk analysis, needs to be split into the two files you mention above in red.
    FUNCTION_ACTION : this file represents S_TCODE objects and TCD fields mapped to each function (Function to Tcode relationship).  In the 5.3 file, you will filter on object S_TCODE and field TCD, and you will get a complete list that now represents "FUNCTION_ACTION".  BUT instead of having all the jumbled permission info, you will just have 3 columns: Function - Tcode - Status.
    3. The remaining permissions that are left over, after taking out the S_TCODE -TCD items, represent the "FUNCTION_PERMISSION" file in GRC 10.
    4. Manually create the excel spreadsheets for each file.
    5. Copy and past each sheet to a unique .txt file.
    6. Upload the ruleset manually through SPRO-->GRC-->Access Control-->Access Risk Analysis-->SoD Rules-->Upload SoD Rules.
    7. Select each file and then upload to the correct Logical Group.
    This is a huge pain, but it works.  Let me know how this goes and if you need any assistance.

  • When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

    When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

    Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
    These are the preferred network connections, in order:
    Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

    Thanks C,

    I followed your instructions and reset my preferences.

    On another topic. I am running Design CS 5.5
    But when I checked "about Photoshop it only reads CS5 12.1 x64.
    Also, my prefs read CS5.1
    Please advise.
    I also seem to have prefs I may not need. I thought when I installed 5.5 my
    old Photoshop version prefs would be deleted but they are still there (see
    my snapshop of my pref files. Should I trash any?

  • HT4796 Finding files after using the Migration Assistant

    I transferred my files from PC to Mac using the Migration Assistant and now I cannot find my files. I am a brand new Mac user. Help please!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Migration Assistant creates a new user with the migrated data. To access to this user, go to  > Log Out, and log in your new account, so you will find all your data. OS X will ask you which user you want to use every time you start your Mac

  • HT4796 I could not find the files I transferred to my MAC from PC after using the Migration Assistant.

    Where do I find in my iMAC the files I tranfered from my PC using the Migration Assistant. I could not find a setting to what folder I could to set to transfer it before I started to transfer.

    Migration Assistant creates a new user on your system and puts the files in that users home folder. Setup Assistant would transfer the files into the user folder of the user account created when originally setting up your Mac. Setup Assistant is what runs when you first turn on and setup your Mac and Migration Assistant is in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.

  • HT4889 How do change the ownership of files after using the migration assistant?

    After I copied all of my files across using the migration assistant, the tool is nice enough to assume that I want to use the same ID that I had on my PC.  This is not my case as I am using a different name on the mac.  How do I get the files from the other user name?  I have already set the sharing permissions so that I can see them on both user ids, however the only way I can see to update is to copy them all.  As I have about 1TB of files, this is a little inconvenient.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks.  It got me on the right track.  At the end, I copied the 1TB over and just deleted the other profile.  I tried to set the ownership to my regular ID by removing the lock from "Get Info" but I still had to move them out of the other "user" folder.

  • Hairlines between shapes after using the merge tool (Pathfinder)

    Hi all,
    I have this complicated camouflage like design made of all sorts of shapes but only using 5 colours.
    None of my elements have strokes.
    I selected all, and used the merge tool in the pathfinder (because I need to provide the document without any shapes overlapping).
    When you look close at the result you notice that there are white hairlines around every shapes.
    It's really a gap because If I slide a red rectangle behind the artwork, it appears in the hairlines.
    I read the other illustrator "hairlines" topics here but couldn't find a workaround to my problem.
    Thank you all in advance!

    If I untick Preferences>General>Anti-Aliased Artwork?
    The hairlines all magically disappear !
    Does that mean that it was just a screen artefact and they will not print?
    I had saved it as PDF but the lines where still showing in the PDF.
    But in Acrobat Pro if I's uncheck the smooth line art, they would disappear.
    Thank you so much Jacob!!!

  • A question about using the history tool after using the extraction tool in photoshop cs3..

    For example:
    http://www.layersmagazine.com/photoshop-...
    When I use the history tool, it erases the image instead. Whats up with that?

    G'day Chris
    I can't tell from the link exactly which tutorial you mean!
    If the original layer is a white background and the snapshot is set to this then the history tool will paint back white even if you then paste or drag an image onto the layer above this.
    You would have to take a seperate snapshot of your image layer and set this layer as the snapshot you want the history tool to use before you start working on it.
    One neat thing you can do is if you paint back some detail with the history brush you can immediately go to Edit > Fade and fine tune how much of the effect you want to apply.
    Hope this helps.
    regards
    John

  • Why does my photo turn in to a white after using the enhance tool?

    When I'm using the Enhance tool on certain photo's, the photos turn pure white! This has only started recently. It even does this on old photos that I have used the Enhance tool on previously. If I use the Undo option, my photo will return to usual, but at the moment my Enhance tool is broken!
    I have tried repairing permissions and the database but it did nothing to solve the problem
    I am using iPhoto 11 on Lion. Everything is up to date.
    Please help.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you get the same problem in the new library try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

    I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
    Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
    Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
    Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
    Thanks for any and all advice,
    -Crosscourier.

  • Step Back after using the straighten tool

    My work flow ends with the straighten tool, but sometimes I'm not happy with what I've done. Thank God this does not happen often, but when it does I have had to go back to start with my PP in ACR. HELP, HELP, HELP

    I'm afraid that is how it works. Once you have opened the image in Photoshop you are no longer doing anything with the original raw file. You have loaded the pixels from that file into Photoshop, but they are the pixels that have been modified by the metadata.
    But you should only have to return to ACR to change the strengthening, unless you have done a lot of additional editing in Photoshop. Perhaps it would be better to do the straightening as a first step in Photoshop.
    I don't know about you, but since I have been using ACR 4.1 I find that I can do a lot more in ACR and considerably less in Photoshop.
