Is there a way to migrate data from one user account to another simply?

Recently one of our employees has left the company. This user had pertinent images saved to their profile and we are needing to migrate those images to a new profile (Kiosk) so users can access the needed files. In InDesign I'm told it pulls file paths in order to pull up different images and documents. Is there a way to transfer these files without breaking InDesign? Or is there a simple way to recreate the file paths in InDesign so that we may move the user's information to a new account and recreate the file paths as soon as possible.
I was referred here from - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1397569

It would be through scripting. If no one else answers here, try using the InDesign Scripting forum:

  • Is there any way to merge data from multiple user accounts on the same mac?

    After a HD crash I reconstructed from Time Machine. Somehow I created multiple users and the data is different. I'd like to eliminate the user accounts and get to just a single user. Anything there?

  • Easy way to Xfer data from one admin account to another?

    Say I've got an admin user account called "A." (shortname = A)
    I no longer want the shortname A. Could I establish a new admin user acct called "B" (shortname = B) and then migrate all the data in A (prefs, files, visible and invisible, etc) to B and then delete A?
    If so what app would I use for this? Migration Assistant? Something else?

    Migration assistant only works reliably between similar processor (Intel to Intel or PowerPC to PowerPC) Macs, and/or external Firewire hard drives. It is described here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
    You can also use my backup FAQ* as a guide to where user files are stored:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    And use the Users -> shared folder as a common folder to switch data between accounts.

  • How do i transfer migrated files from one user account to another

    Mac novice so please be kind!!!!

    Was this transfer from a Windows PC to your new Mac?
    It is that aspect of Migration Assistant that I find less than useful.  Even from one Mac to another, creating a new (old) account is like sorting through old boxes deciding what to put where. This is why I say MA is really only useful at the very outset where the account it creates is the one you will be using.
    Anyway you have a whole lot of content in a different account that you want to move into your main account.
    Not the only way, but a good way is to drag the folders of files and photos into your desired main user account, putting them in to the Drop Box ;
    Macintosh HD / Users / collies? / Public / Drop Box
    Then log into your main account and collect them from the same location.
    This method is a bit clunky but it will update the ownership permissions of the moved files to the extant account. 
    Set up your email in your new account from scratch.
    For general information, the following link has a great deal for the novice.

  • How do I access  data from one user account to another?

    I want to access data from a different user account. How do I make all the files available?

    I have another post here in the forum that explains in detail about the rez problem. It was read by a lot of people with no responses. 1 thing that might be important is that I was using a Wacom drawing tablet when this problem started. I removed the Wacom software and no help.
    My Apple 23" Cinema display has very large icons but the display prefs says it is at 1920 x 1200. It's not just a low screen rez but the dock and all icons will scroll on the screen when I move the mouse.
    The resolution will not change to anything else. The rez is fine on other user names.
    I have booted from the Apple DVD and run disk repair, repaired disk permissions. Booted and run Tech Tool.
    Booted from the Disk Warrior cd and ran that.
    I have zapped the PRAM. I have plugged the display into the other port on the video card.
    When I change to the problem user name it is fine for about 1 second and then changes to the "problem". I have never seen this before and I have been using a Mac since 1990.

  • Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

    is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

    All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

  • Transfer music from one user account to another on the SAME mac?

    My family (wife, son, daughter, and me) share an imac but we all have our own user accounts. Our entire itunes music library is in one user account and is getting to the point of being unmanageable.
    Can I move some of my itunes library (e.g., my son's music) to another user account on the same iMac? Some songs were imported from CD and others were purchased from my Apple ID number.
    It's my understanding that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library at a time, but I thought Apple also restricted the usage of music bought from itunes to a finite number of computers. If this is true, I think I would be able to transfer a group of songs from one user account to another so long as the user accounts were on the same computer.
    I was told that I could just drag the songs into a shared folder and then log into his account and drop them in iTunes.
    Some specific questions:
    1) Can I move all music files (CD and purchased) to the shared folder for dropping into his account?
    2)The purchased ones were purchased under MY apple ID which I do not want to give him access to. Should I create one for him or just have him use mine and wait for my password. I would like to put an allowance on his new ID number and keep it separate from mine. Would that make a difference in the future if I wanted to use one of his songs on my iPod or in an iMovie project?
    I just reinstalled my Lepoard OS X and put all my data back. I did not deauthorize anything before I did this. Did I need to? Or is even a clean install on the SAME machine ok and seen as the same authorization?
    Thanks in advance!!

    You can give him copies of song files, either by using a shared folder, or by putting the copies on a USB flash drive from which he can copy them to his own iTunes library.
    Any DRM-protected tracks that you have purchased from Apple can only be played if the user has authorization to the account(s) from which the tracks were purchased. Authorization requires physical access to the computer and knowledge of the password, and you can figure it from there!

  • How do I transfer Pages from one user account to another

    How do you transfer Pages from one user account to another on the same Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you haven't modified anything, Pages is installed on /Applications. All users have access to this folder, identified as "Applications" on the Finder sidebar, so you don't have to move anything, because Pages will work on all your users.
    If you have installed Pages on ~/Applications (being ~ your user folder), then you have to move Pages to /Applications. After doing this, you will be able to access to Pages on all users

    How do I transfer documents and files from one user account to another?

    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

  • How to keep Itunes playing music when switching from one user account to another?

    On my old pc, that running XP, itunes would continue playing when I was switching from one user account to another.
    Now I have a new PC running win8 and the music stops playing when I switch from one user account to another. I think Itunes is still running on the user that is not active, but the music is not coming out of the speekers.
    Does anyone know how I can get the win8 pc to do as the old XP machine?

  • Proper way to migrate schema from one DS5.2 to another

    What is the best error free way to migrate schema from one Directory Server 5.2 to another.
    Thanks,

    I have migrated schema from 5.1 to 5.2 and below are my experiences. Check if this helps you in any way.
    - After overwriting 99user.ldif from 5.1 to 5.2; experienced problems in starting the DS 5.2 instance. On looking into the logs, few object classes and attributes gave problems.
    - Modified 99user.ldif in DS 5.2 by appending schema values group by group. Able to start DS 5.2 instance without problems
    - Migrated data (ldif file) via ldif2db command to DS 5.2
    - Encountered problems in DS 5.2; Suffix got dissappeared after migrating the data and a restart of DS 5.2 instance. Upon looking logs and few troubleshooting steps, found the aci's in the data file creating problems
    - Removed aci's in data (ldif file) manually and migrated using ldapmodify command and it worked

  • Transfer Reports from one user account to another

    Hi,
    We use oracle discoverer 4.1, due to HIPAA the dba had to create new userids for our current users and lock the old ones, how do I transfer the reports stored in database one user account to another ?
    for e.g user abc123 has a report <abc.dis> stored in database he now has to use a new userid xyz123, he doesnt see <abc.dis>, how do I transfer this?
    I know the work around.. to save all reports from database to a network and open in the new user account, but we don't want users to do that, is there any other way?
    Thanks,
    Latha

    To avoid permission issues log into the account where the files are. Then transfer them to an external drive or a flash drive or jump drive. Then log into the account where you want them. Then copy them to the account.
