Unable to view files after using "Migration Asst".

I "migrated" my files from my old G4 to my new MacBookPro. Now I CANT VIEW my old files on my new Mac. I get a msg that says, "The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." The files all have a red-sign. This applies to all the files I had transferred.
What I've done so far: I tried renaming my old G4 to match my new MacPro, but it did the same thing above. Migration Asst makes it sound so easy, (and basically it was) to transfer files, but it appears to me that a new "account name" is automatically set-up for the migration. I just want ONE ACCT, and to be able to read the files that have been transferred.
What did I do wrong?
THANKS!

    how to find files after migration has finished

    If you don't have any file you need in your old account, open System Preferences > Users and Groups and delete the old user. If not, I recommend you to migrate your files of your old account to the new one using Shared folder or an USB drive

  • Questions after using Migration Asst

    After transferring info using Migration Assistant from older MacBook Pro G4 to a new MacBook Pro G5 my bookmarks from Safari and Mail accounts and mailboxes are missing. What are the steps needed to get them into the new laptop? (I do have old info backed up via Time Machine) Thanks!

    yes, you can redo migration and choose to migrate that user ONLY. nothing else. also, how did she delete that user? from system preferences->accounts or did she just delete the home folder of that user in /Users? it should only be done via system preferences.

  • What's with the new user acct after using Migration Asst? Can I merge users or should I even care?

    I used Migration Assistant to bring over photos and music from my PC and a new user account was created on my iMac. I expected this since the instructions on the Apple site mentioned this would happen. But now that it's all over and done it really annoys me to have 2 user accounts. Is it something I should just accept or should I merge the accounts (if that's even possible)?
    I would be very appreciative of any feedback

    Please look over http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html towards the bottom where he discusses that. Once you have the data moved into the account you want you can remove the account you don't want by using the System Preferences - Users & Account. The remaining account must be an administrators account though.

  • I can't find my migrated files after using migration assistant

    I can't find my migrated music folder despite the migration assistant saying it had been successful. After looking in system preferences > user groups I see no other account for me to access. This is my first mac, and therefore a complete novice to this system therefore any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

    This is my first mac
    Did you try migration from a Windows based computer?

  • Don't have permission to access my files after using Migration Assistant with my PC?

    The transfer took over 6 hours, so I would appreciate any help other than suggestions to just try it again! At first I couldn't find where Migration Assistant put my files, but I found them in /users/(Windows user name which is actually different than Mac username). Lion made that step a little tricky, since it doesn't seem too eager to navigate me to the root of my hard drive. The folder icons have red symbols in the lower right hand corner of them, and when I try to access them, I receive the following message: The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
    Any help is really appreciated!

  • ICal after using migration asst.

    I transfered my mac mini to a mac pro, giving the mini to the wife and kids. The ical on mini is now blank, preferences is inaccessible and I have to force quit the app. Any thoughts would be helpful.

  • Relocating music files after using migration assistant and time machine

    Hello
    I recently purchased an i7 MBP because my previous 15 in was stolen. Luckily I had a time machine backup of the old machine - my previous MBP was the Intel 2 Core Duo model just before the refresh to the i5/i7s
    So far what I did is ran migration assistant to bring my files over
    Everything seems to be fine, except when I got to iTunes much of my music is listed but I get the exclamation mark symbol next to most of the music and movies and apps
    I am trying to figure out how to fix this and relocate my files
    I know I could access my time machine backup by browsing other time machine disks, but I can't browse the music folder in a previous backup because I don't have the permisson to access it
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Victor:
    If you correctly transferred your music files the problem is with your iTunes Library file.
    Open iTunes and quickly press the option key. A window will show to ask you to select the library file. Browse for it and it should fix the problem.

  • Why is there no data on my new MacBook Pro after using Migration Assistant?

    Last night I launched Migration Assistent between my MacBook to my MacBook Pro.  It said it would take 12 hours so I left it over night.  When it finished this morning it said that some files were not able to be transferred.  But there is absolutely nothing on my new MacBook Pro.  Why is that?
    My TimeMachine backup disk has a cable that won't work with the new MacBook Pro so what other choice do I have to transfer data?

  • Lost list of my wifi networks after using migration assistant / time machine

    After using migration assistant / time machine to set up my new Mac I now miss the list of stored preferred Wlan/WiFi networks. So the passwords of wireless networks I. Used in the past are all gone.
    Why is time machine not putting those on my new Mac as it does with many other settings?
    How can I manually grab this list from my old Mac and out it on the new machine?
    Will I find that time machine missed some other lists and settings as well?
    Thanks for help.

    I've been working through this procedure this week. It's pretty good, and when it works it appears to work quite well, but there's still some bumps in the road:
    (1) Once you've migrated, Time Machine itself seems to be a little confused and future backups may fail. You might have to start again by changing to a new Time Machine disk on your new laptop. You may lose your older backups, it's not yet clear to me.
    (2) You can't restore from a previous backup during the migration, only the most recent one. (You can restore from an older backup using tools on the install CD if you need to.) I suspect this won't be an issue for you.
    (3) Migration Assistant once you've logged in a Migration Assistant while you're starting up a new machine seem to work slightly differently. For example, sometimes the newest copy of the applications in your Applications folder (say, iMovie) is preserved, sometimes it makes an exact restore of the old Applications folder even if it's an older version of the application.
    Overall it's been a pretty good experience, and what you want to do does work, but be prepared for the possibility of some issues. I tried this back in 10.5.0 a few months ago and had a lot of problems, things seem better now under 10.5.2.

  • Best way to transfer files without using migration assistant

    upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks goes ok, but migrating files hangs with "less than a minute to go". What is the best way to transfer user files without using migration assistant?

    I keep backups of essential documents in Dropbox, and then the files can sync when I reinstall Dropbox.
    For larger collections of files, for example, my Documents folder, or iTunes or iPhoto libraries, I transfer them from a Time Machine Backup- just by going into the backup manually and restoring the folders.
    If you have files that can fit on a flash drive, then you can use that, which is very fast.

    QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
    The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
    There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
    If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.
