I just got a data transfer from an old mac to my new one and i do not know how to find my files
how do i find my files? its supposed to be under a new account but the apple store made these accounts and i cant log into them bc they have a password
Drag that account's home folder to your current account's desktop and provide an administrator password. If you don't know any administrator passwords on that system, ask the Apple Store.

About two years ago I bought an Ipod (4), recently I bought an Iphone 4S. I just want to transfer some songs from my old ipod to my new phone and I am not being capable to find a way in Itunes!! Any help???
Just transfer them from iTunes.
If they are not in iTunes. connect the iPod, then File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
Then connect the iPhone and sync these songs. -
I just set up my migration from my old iMac to the new one via wifi and it says it'll take 42 hours! What's up with this?

Don't migrate wirelessly unless you have a very fast wireless connection. Anything other than 5 GHz 802.11n is likely to take an unacceptable amount of time. -
How do I transfer iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air and retain the Albums?
I just transferred my iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air by dragging the entire Library from my Pictures folder onto an external HD and then dragging from there onto my new Air. Transfer effected fine and all images now appear in iPhoto on the new Air. One problem: the Albums that were present on the left hand toolbar in iPhoto on my old machine are no longer there, so I have 50,000 images with no organization. Events are still there organized by date so that is something, but the Albums are not there and that is what I primarily relied on. Help please??
The left hand pane is the source pane. Were both Macs running the same version of iPHoto?
Try rebuilding the library with the option to Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?
Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

How do I transfer my iTunes from my old mac to my new one?
When setting up the new Mac, it said the Migration Assistant on my old Mac needed updating (OS X 10.4.11) and would not run. I also created a new apple id on my new mac which is different from the one on my old mac. How do I transfer my iTunes Library from my old mac to my new one? Thanks.

I'm trying to migrate my CS4 from my old Mac to my new one. When trying to open photoshop, i get a message saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working." And "Error: 150:30" I don't know what to do from here. Can someone help me? Thanks.
"Migrating" and/or "transferring" an application is not just asking for trouble but demanding it!
Always install an Adobe application from scratch, from the original media: CD or download. -
How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one
I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?
Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -
I transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but
i transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but the show up as 2 different user accounts..how can i make it only one??
Log in from one account, drag the other account's home folder from the Users folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, move anything you want into the corresponding location of the current account's home folder, and use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to remove the other account. You cannot delete a logged-in account or the only administrator account on the machine from System Preferences.

How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?
How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?
what method are you using? Firewire, ethernet, wireless? I'm assuming you are doing this via Migration Assistant. You can't speed it up if it is in process, but you can use a faster method if available to you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
