Move her data into the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then log in with her account and move it to her home folder.

Moving files from one drive to another

How can I move a batch of files from one drive to another using Bridge CS4?

There are two methods. One involves your operating system and the other uses Bridge.
Using Microsoft (sorry to you Mac users) have Windows Explorer open to the directory containing your files. Click and drag the directory from one drive to another. Conversely if you want to copy just a selection of the files follow this routine.
Create a duplicate named directory in the destination drive. Select the file you wish to move and do so from directory to directory.
In Bridge it is even easier. In Bridge ensure that the Folders sub pane is open and visibile. Just click on the source directory and click and drag it to the destination drive.
Testing on my part (I routinely move up to 30 gigabytes at a time) has demonstrated that Bridge adds a little time to the process depending on the size of the source files. I suspect that this has to do with additional overhead of the program.
To be safe I would recommend that you do use the copy method instead of moving the directory. This is a failsae in case any problems crop up during the process. It takes mere moments to delete the source directory after the copy routine has run.

Moving Files from one project to another??

New to Aperture ..and wondering is there an easy way to move files from one project to another? Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name?
thanks in advance,
Steve

Yes, simply drag-and-drop a thumbnail from a Project to another Project; or Option-drag-and-drop (one way copies the image, the other way moves the image).
Or to move from one Album one project to another Album in another project if the Albums have the same name
Although Albums can be located in Projects, Albums are really not "in" Projects as regards where the images come from. Each album is simply a virtual collection of pointers to images; the images pointed to can be located in multiple Project(s). So just drag-and-drop a thumbnail image from any project to an album to add a pointer for that image to that album.
Although it seems complex it really isn't. Albums are a very powerful organizational tool with essentially zero overhead. Try it. Create some test albums in various ways just to see what happens and delete the albums when you are done. Since Albums consist of just "pointers" we can make/delete them at will for any reason.
Note that Albums can be deleted with no warning message because Apple figures a simple collection of pointers is not that big a deal. Personally I think Album-deleting should have a (non-dire) explanatory warning message, because sometimes an album can consist of a complex collection of pointers.
Multiple Albums should never have the same name.

Moving files from one folder to another caused freeze

I now have a list of files stuck in the center of my screen.
I'm sure a reboot will fix this (I hope!) but I thought it was a bug worth reporting.
All I did was move a copy a collection of files from one folder to another folder. It made the "move" sound, and the files have been copied, but something clearly went wrong

Have java.io.File objects pointing to the three folders. Get the list of all the files in the folder. Start a loop and check if the filename ends with Data.dat. If it is so then copy file to the final folder.
To Copy file you can use any of the two approaches.
1. You can read that file as byte stream (java.io.FileInputStream) and write it to the other folder as bytes (java.io.FileOutputStream).
2. You can use shell commands to do this. (java.lang.Runtime.exe() method)

Moving uploaded VSIX files from one account into another

Hey guys,
I want to ask you if it is possible to move already uploaded and published VSIX files from account into another.
Our case is the following, our company made 2 accounts and we want to merge them as one. However, if I test this scenario with another accounts, it fails. What I do:
1. Upload with Account1
2. Unpublish and delete the uploaded VSIX
3. Try to upload the same VSIX using Account2
4. I get "Your VSIX ID already exists on the site" error (re-uploading using Account1 works fine!)
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings! :)

Hi SteliyanStoyanov,
As far as I know, there's no such kind of feature, to merge two accounts as one in the VSGallery site. The reason for the "VSIX ID already exists" error may be that it will take some time to take effect after you delete an uploaded VSIX. So you
can try it after a few hours. Or change the VSIX ID and reupload all the extensions.

Moving files from one user to another

Good afternoon all!
In short I need to create a new user on a MacBook Pro running 10.7 (latest updates available as of this posting). However in the past when I have done this, when I moved the needed files (Photoshop actions, images, etc) over to the new user I kept getting permission errors which makes sense.
So my question is simply, how do I migrate data from one user account to another while either modifying or fixing permission issues?
Thanks!

Copy all the data files into /Users/Share as the old user then log in as the new user and copy the files from /Users/Share to the home folder.

How do I transfer files from one account to another?

I did a PC to Mac migration and that was transferred successfully. Now, though, I want to transfer the files brought over from my PC (that are now on another account on my Mac) to my main account. I searched for a solution and found that I should be able to do it through my shared folder, but my other account is not showing up in my shared folder so I'm not sure how to go about this. Thanks

Any account should have access to the Shared folder:
It's outside of any user's home directory and should be accessible from any account. If you're having problems, call back...

Can't access files from one account to another on same Mac

I've got a new macbook and I've divided it into two accounts. One account has all my iTunes music but the other is a fresh iTunes with no music.
I've been trying to get access to the music from the other account. It seems like it should be easy as it's already on this computer. I've tried copying the iTunes folder into the public folder and going to the other account and copying it to it but that's not working.
I've also tried sharing the files from the Sharing sys prefs. But can't get that to work. And I've also put the Music folder into the Shared folder and still nothing.
The folders I need have the red minus on them.
I must be missing something simple. Help!
Thanks.

wireduck,
Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
Hope that helps.

Moving playlists from one account to another

Hey,
I'm on my admin account right now, and my iTunes is set up on there. I want to switch to a user account and have the same playlist (with ratings and play count intact).
Where is the playlist file stored so I can just copy and paste it?
(All my songs are on an external drive)

Thanks, this worked.
And for anyone else doing this in the future:
1. Copy the iTunes Library file from Music/iTunes into your Shared folder.
2. Change the permissions using chmod. I used 'chmod a+rwx thefile'. You need to change the permissions or iTunes won't let you load it in your other account.
3. Replace the iTunes Library file in Music/iTunes in your new account with this one.

Transfer files from one account to another on iMac

How can I transfer files from another account on my iMac to my account. I am the administrator of this iMac. The files I want to copy are on the desktop of my son's account on this computer. They are just too big to email to myself.
Thank you.

Moving contacts from one account to another

On my iPhone address book I have set 3 groups: iCloud, Yahoo (which I use for e-mail) and Facebook.
For some reason my Yahoo account was set as default account for new contacts. How can I move all of my new contacs I already saved from one group to the iCloud All Contacts group?

You can export them to a csv file from yahoo and import them to icloud on icloud.com

Moving photos from one account to another

Hello.
I have just set up a separate user account for my little girl. Is is possible to transfer photos from my photo library in iPhoto into hers? I've tried copying some pictures to my shared file but when I tried to import them into her iPhoto it said the files weren't recognised.
Will I have to put them on a CD instead?
Thank you for any advice.
Rachel

Locate the photo library in the Finder, and then open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Enter the following:
chmod -R 777
followed by a space. Drag the folder into the Terminal window, press Enter, and then quit the Terminal. Next, use the insructions in this article to move the entire iPhoto library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, followed by doing the same thing from her account.
Alternatively, try these instructions if you haven't already to export the photos to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then reimport them on her account.
A third option is to use this application to create a second library with only the photos you want her to have, and then transfer it to her account using the instructions posted above.

Moving Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
