Transfer iweb website from one "User" to another on same computer

Hi there, I've been building two websites using one .mac account. Now I need to send one of the websites to another .mac account so they can be completely separate from each other.
I created another "user" on my computer so that way I'll have only one website loading each time I open iWeb determined by which "user" I have open on my computer.
Here's the problem...how do I get the material from iWeb to transfer to this new "user" I created? I chose "PUBLISH TO A FOLDER" and then dragged that folder to the SHARED FILE, and then dragged that folder onto the new user I created...but when I open iWeb on the new user it doesn't display anything from that Folder.
Where do I put the material from that folder so that iWeb will read it when it opens? I can't find an "import" button, or anything like that.
Thanks

iWeb stores your data in a domain.sites2 file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Copy this file and paste it into the equivalent location in the other user account.
Make sure you give this user "write" permission.

Transfer Itunes Library from one user to another on same computer?

Okay. Was trying to clean my computer up the other day b/c the main user of this computer is no longer using this computer. So, everything is in his name and it was annoying me. So, I created a new administrative user and thought the itunes library would just transfer over. It didn't. So, I figured it would be easier to just change the main current user's profile to my name and tried to change the home folder name. When I did this it cleaned up the whole desktop and folders as if I created a new user (blank slate). So, now all my music is in this other folder and my memory is too low to import it into I-Tunes. Does anybody know how to get around this? I tried just switching the folder in I-tunes Preferences, but now it just points to that folder. The music is still just sitting there NOT in I-tunes. I'm new to messing around with MAC settings so I'm afraid I royally messed up my computer. Please Help

If you have already told iTunes where you want to keep the library (Preferences>Advanced>iTunes Music folder location>change), then now all you need to do is actually import all those songs into your library.
Close the pref's window. Go to File>Add to Library and add what you want to. I'd advise after that to also Consolidate your library (File>Library>Consolidate Library), IF you want to keep all your music in one place. Make sure you have all the music you want added first, from all the different areas of your computer.
Hope this makes sense.

Problems importing mail from one user to another on same computer

Hi,
I work from home so I created a new account on my computer so I could have a personal user and a business user. That way maybe I won't always end up working when I'm trying to relax. So I want to bring all my old work emails over the the new work account. But when I copy the mail files to the new user account and then try to import, the folders all have red circles with minus signs. I gather that this has something to do with permissions, but when I change the owner to the new user, they still have the red circles. I also tried just moving the whole mail folder over to the new user, but it's "read only".
Both users are administrators. I'm running OS 10.4.4.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi Andrew.
What you tried to transfer the Mail folder from one user to the other should have worked, except I believe you didn't properly change ownership of the files and folders involved.
7. open new user Mail
8. Mail asks me to set up an email account
This probably happened because you didn't change ownership of the com.apple.mail.plist file. If Mail doesn't have access permission to write to that file, it just deletes the file and creates a new one (Mail can delete the file because doing that requires write permissions for the directory the file is in, which it has). As a result of re-creating the preferences file, Mail asks you to set up your accounts from scratch all over again.
14. change the ownership of the mail folder to the
new user, but I still can't look inside the folder
and it has the red circle with the minus sign.
It looks like you tried changing ownership of the enclosing Mail folder only. Ownership of all the items within it must be changed as well. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this properly in the Finder, as the Apply to enclosed items button in the Get Info window also overwrites access permissions, not just the changes you make to ownership. Usually, this is wrong, as a different set of permissions may be appropriate for each item. In the particular case of the Mail folder, however, you can come close to doing the right thing as follows:
1. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/. Locate the Mail folder, select it and choose File > Get Info (⌘I). Under Ownership & Permissions, expand Details by clicking on it.
2. Change the settings as follows (you may need to click on the lock icon to authenticate first). Owner: username, with "Read & "Write" access permissions; Group: username, with "Read only" access permissions; Others: "No Access".
3. Click on the Apply to enclosed items button at the bottom of the Get Info window.
4. Change Group access back to "No Access", which probably was (or should be) the initial setting when you opened the Info window.
5. Close the Get Info window.
The right way to (recursively) change ownership of the Mail folder without altering access permissions would be issuing the following command in Terminal:
sudo chown -R username:username ~/Library/Mail
And while you're at it, you may as well use Terminal to change ownership of the preferences file:
sudo chown username:username ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Move photos from one user to another on same computer

How do I MOVE pictures that I have created on one user to the new user?
I don't wish to keep the photos on the other user as I feel it would use up too much room on the Imac...

Does this involve iPhoto somehow?
Assuming it does: export from iPhoto in Accoint A; put the files in the Users/Shared folder. Switch to Account B. Import the files from the Users/Shared Folder.
Then delete the files from Users/ Shared and back to Account A and delete them from iPhoto there.

I NEED TO TRANSFER THE BOOKMARKS FROM ONE USER TO ANOTHER IN THE SAME COMPUTER??

Please advise ma how to do it. I feel it should not be a big problem.

It can be tricky knowing how to locate and navigate between the different settings folders used by your different installations of Firefox.
To start, I suggest creating a folder that serves as a neutral location that Windows doesn't try to secure between users. For example:
C:\bmks
You can create a backup from the fully loaded copy of Firefox to that folder, then restore it into the empty Firefox. You've probably already found the procedures, but just in case, the following article describes both the manual backup procedure and the restore procedure:
[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
If you have bookmarks in the newer profile that you do not want to lose, you can use an alternate export/import procedure using an HTML file. This doesn't carry over all the same information (e.g., tags). These articles have the details, and again I suggest using a "neutral" folder:
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Any luck?
When you're done, you can delete the contents of the neutral folder for privacy.

How can I transfer Firefox profile from One user to another on my pc (win XP)

At work I'm using Firefox as my default browser.
In my company the IT administrator installed new system s/w on companys main server and changed the user names.
So now firefox lost all the information (profile) I already had on my pc.
Now in "C:\Documents and Settings\" folder I have 2 users.
One with the old user name and one with the new user name
Also I can not any longer login in my pc with the old user name because the administrator has changed also the domain name.
How can I transfer the profile I had (with lot's of usefull bookmarks etc) from the old user-name to the new user-name?
Thank you in advance!

How to transfer IMovie project from one user to another on MacBok Pro?

My daughter made a movie with IMovie and I would like to add music from my files. We work as separate users and now I cannot open the project with myself as user. How can I access the movie made as another user? Even if I copy the project on my desktop, it does not open in IMovie when I am the user.

Hello to-mii,
Your best option would be to use an external drive to make the project available to other users on the system.

You may also need to transfer the related events to the external drive, as well.

How do I transfer iTunes music from one user to another?

WITHOUT deleting from the original user iTunes
I only have 1 itunes account

Copy the iTunes Music folder in Music to the other account using a external drive or the Shared Folder on the root directory.
Use Finder > Go To Folder and enter
and press Go, click on your hard drive name, then Users then Shared folder.
However the playlists and song locations pathnames are written for the other user, but that can be edited with a Text Editor and "find and replaced" to match the pathname of the other user of the iTunes.db file.
Likely the permisisons will have to be changed to that other user as well, when copied to the other User, Finder > Get Info on the folder and change the permisisons to the other user (or everyone) and click the spoky thing to "apply to enclosed items"

Copy programs from one user to another on same MacBook?

I have two user accounts on my MacBook Air--one for personal, one for work. I loaded Microsoft Office Suite onto my personal one a long time ago, and recently created the work user acct. Is there a way to copy Mic Off Suite over to the new user acct?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The problem with Office is that it creates files in system folders, so there isn't an easy way to transfer Office to another user without reinstalling Office for that account.
My advice is to install Office in that account again so you won't have any problem. In the case of Office, a simple drag and drop won't work

How to copy files from one user to another on same macbook pro

I used the migration assistant to move files from an old windows pc to my new macbook pro. It created a second user and put everything there. I now can't figure out how to move them so they are under me.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The easiest way is to put your files in /Users/Shared. To access to this folder, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type that directory.
That folder can be read by all users, so you won't have any problem to copy your files to the other user account.
Another option would be to copy your files to an external drive. Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
