Im new to Mac and when I was transferring my files from my PC to my Mac, my Mac created a new login and placed all my files there. How do I transfer those files to my log in?

So I have No idea what to do about this because I followed all the instructions when using Migration Assistant. I would just use that user but I have already put files on my user for school. What should I do?

Transferring files from one User Account to another.
Or log out of the new user account and log into the migrated account - problem solved.

    What exactly happens when you try to restore via iTunes?

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • I have purchased Criminal Minds Season 8 episode BrothersHotchner/The Replicator and when I was watching it just stop in the middle of the episode. I wait until the episode download all but when it did it will only reproduce me the first 20 seconds.

    Please return my money or make sure I can see the enitre episode.

    Hello, Andreayael.szpinak.
    I have ran into this issue before myself.  If you purchased that episode, I would recommend deleting that episode and downloading it again free of charge via the purchased section of the iTunes Store.  The steps in the article below will walk you through how to process these steps. 
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
    You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

  • How can I transfer "Pages" files  from my IPad to my Mac?

    How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

    Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
    The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
    Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

  • How do I transfer files from my old laptop with a broken screen to my new macbook pro?

    I recently purchased a new macbook pro and would like to tranfers files such as music and documents from my old sony vaio laptop. The problem is that the screen on my old laptop is broken so the image is distorted and I cannot see a thing, which means I probably wont be able to use Windows Migration Assistant. Does anyone know of another easy way I can transfer my files to my new macbook pro? Thanks

    Manually migrating
    If you prefer to move your files one by one between a Mac and a PC, consider the following options. Some are easier than others, and some require more computer experience, equipment, or resources.
    Generally, you can migrate your files to the Mac by:
    Copying the files from your PC onto external or removable storage media and then use that media in your Mac to transfer the files to your hard drive.
    Sending files over the Internet. If you have an email account, just send the files to yourself from the PC and then pick the mail up on your Mac and save the attached files to your Mac hard drive. You may want to compress larger groups of files first.
    Connecting the Mac and PC together through a network to use file sharing to move the files.
    Tip: If you're moving files over manually, you'll save yourself some time down the road if you organize your files during the process from the get-go. For example:
    Move your PC My Pictures photos to your Mac’s Home folder Pictures folder
    Move your PC My Music song files to the Music folder on your Mac
    Move your PC My Videos files to the Movies folder on your Mac
    Move PC text and PDF files to your Mac Documents folder
    Export PC contacts to vCards, and import them into your Mac Contacts
    Use external or removable media
    If your Windows PC has a CD or DVD drive, or a USB port:
    Copy the files from the PC to an external hard drive or storage device, then reconnect the drive to your Mac and transfer the files to your Mac hard drive.
    Burn files to a CD or DVD on your PC, and then use the discs in your Mac to transfer the files to your Mac hard drive.
    If you don't have many files, transfer them over email, create zip files for larger groups of files. Mail your files from the PC to yourself, and then pick them up using Mail on the Mac.
    Use a network connection
    Connect your old PC to your Mac—either directly or over a network. Before you start moving files over, you should install any Mac software that is needed to open the files. Once you're done, use one of the following migration methods:
    Direct connect
    To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC (if both have an Ethernet port):
    Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
    Make sure that both computers are turned on.
    In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
    smb://DNSname/ShareName
    smb://IPaddress/ShareName
    Click Connect.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
    Your PC volume should appear in the Shared section of your Finder window on your Mac.
    Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
    When finished, click the eject button to right of your PC volume to unmount it.
    Network connection
    To move files by connecting your Mac to your PC on the same network:
    Make sure that both computers are turned on and connected to the Internet.
    In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using this format: smb://ServerName/ShareName, or select the name of your PC in this window (if it appears).
    Click Connect.
    Enter your PC's workgroup name, your user name, and your password when prompted, then select the volume or folder you wish to access.
    Your PC volume should appear in the Shared section of your Finder window on your Mac.
    Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
    When finished, click the eject button to right of your PC volume to unmount it.
    Alternative methods
    Copy files to a shared file server.
    Purchase PC Data Transfer service at your local Apple retail store.

  • How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?

    How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to buy an adapter? How do I setup the software to make these two system connected?

    r95941081 wrote:
    Thanks for your answering. But the issue is that I'll often transfer a large amount files from PCs to the Macbook, and I'm explring the way to use firewire since there is indeed an i-S400 port in the VAIO laptop, and it's much faster.
    USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400 and USB 3 is faster than Firewire 800
    If it was another Mac you were transferring from then you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode which makes the boot drive of the old Mac appear on the desktop of the new Mac to rapidly copy files, but you have a Windows PC with no FWTDM capability.
    So to connect the two machines requires a network be setup over Ethernet and mucking around with the complexities of all that and it still takes awhile to finish. One can't setup a network with a PC over USB or Firewire, only Firewire with another Mac.
    You get a external USB drive, USB 3,2,1 is fine and just drag and drop copy, the machine does all the work and you go do something else until it's finished, then repeat the same with the Mac.
    Fast simple and effective, let it copy overnight if you have too.
    I routinely clone my entire hard drive via USB 2 and it only takes a hour and a half for 350GB.
    By the time you figure out how to network a Mac and a PC over Ethernet and getting it work to transfer files, you could be done already via USB.

  • I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

    I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each.  It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now.  If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.
