Used migration assistant but says i dont have "sufficient privileges"

I used migration assistant las night and got all my applications in the applications folders but left all the other ones in another folder. when i go t open the photos or movies or documents or any other one it has a little red badge on it. when i open it it says i do not have sufficient privileges. can some one please help.
thank you so much in advance.

When I first noticed the problem is when I first tried opening up iTunes this week for the first time in a while. It says this. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. Then I tried downloading the new version and got that message I sent from the previous reply. Then it tells me to abort retry or ignore. It says iTUNES was not installed correctly. It says to do so. Error 7 Windows Errror 126

Open System Preferences and select Users & Groups. Assuming the migration was successful, you now have a new account - it was migrated. Migration Assistant doesn't copy files, it copies accounts. To see your documents you'll need to log into the account you migrated. (It has the same password it did on the other computer.)

The iPod requires more than twice the file downlooad size in order to downoad and install an app. You need to free up storage space as the mesage says.

I bought a new computer running Lion 10.7.3 and transferred my applications and files from my old Mac using migration assistant but I can't find/transfer my photos from iPhoto and I can't find my old documents such as previous tax returns.

Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but it doesn't show on Finder. How can I locate my data?

I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but can't find any of my data on Finder. I'm thinking that the data got transferred but not cataloged. Finder shows about 400 gigs of my hard drive being used, but the files it shows don't come anywhere close to 400 gigs. How can I find out what is really on the hard drive and how can I access my MacBook files I transferred?

I suggest that you start over, boot into Internet recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, erase and reformat the HD with one partition and GUID option, quit Disk Utility, restore the OS, and on first boot, use the Setup Assistant to migrate from the MacBook, following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. If that doesn't solve your problem, contact Apple's Support. If they recommend the same steps, I'd opt to return the machine and get another (you can do that the first 14 days you own it, no questions asked).

Click applications... utilities... disk utilities. select your drive and click "check permissions" and let it run. when this is finished, click on "fix permissions" and let it run.
This should solve your problem.

I have used migration assistant but new profile is created, how do i merge into one

I have recently purchased Mac book and have used migration assistant to transfer files from my old windows PC.
Due to some issues when using migration tool i had to transfer in segments, each time i did this a new user was created.
I have asked for some help and was advised that users cannot be merged however the files can be shared via dropbox.
I have received instructions as to how to do this but am stuck as once I get to the point of dropbox, I do not know what step to take next to add files into dropbox?.
Below are instructions
Pick a User Account your going to keep, make sure it's a Admin account and if need to, log into another Admin account and make it so in System Preferences > accounts.
One logs out of their current account by using the Apple menu > Log out.
Next while in one of the accounts your later planing on removing, go to the Finder > Go > Computer and window opens.
Open the MacintoshHD partition, then the Users folder and the User Account you plan to keep, then the Public folder and then locate the DropBox folder for that User. Any files placed in there will change permissions and be accessible to that user when you log into it.

The Dropbox folder is a subfolder of the home folder, which has the same name as the user account. It's under the Users folder at the top level of the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.)

Used migration assistant but now new software is gone

OOk, after a somewhat nightmarish experience of trying to transfer my data and applications from my old MacBook pro to my new macbook air, by wiping the MacBook Air clean and using migration assistant, I've discovered that the new version of pages, presentation and imessage etc are all missing. Is there a way to get them back?! I rather liked the new version of pages.

What exactly do you mean by "my profile"? Your user account may or may not show up in various places but if it exists it should have a home folder visible in the root level "Users" folder, identified by its short account name. Even if you log into your wife's account, you should be able to see this folder (although you won't necessarily be able to open most of its enclosed folder).
For example, if your user account was named "jay" on your G4, you should see a folder of that name in the Users folder.

Just used Migration Assistant but spotlight won't index files on new iMac computer.

I just used Migration Assistant to move files from my old 2008 Mac Pro to a new 2013 iMac 27" both Intel based. Files and applications all moved over fine and I can access them in Finder but Spotlight won't index the files. Should I be reindexing something or do I need to do somethign for spotlight to recognize the new filez I migrated?
Thanks!

You can force a Spotlight index, just let it run and your migration should be just fine. Instructions are in:

Used migration assistant but can't find my stuff

I recently purchased a new iMac 21.5 inch screen. I ran the Setup Assistant and then later ran the Migration Assistant. I migrated my files on the old computer (2006 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8) first using an ethernet cable between the two computers, and then second using Time Machine. I followed all of the instructions but now can find my migrated files. They don't show up on my new iMac running Mavericks. Help!!!

If you used Migration Assistant it creates a second user account. Log out of your user account and log back into the new account and you will find your data.

I just used Migration Assistant but nothing happened??

I connected my 13" black MacBook to my 13" MacBook Pro and wen't through the steps in the Migration Assistant utility. I only slected to migrate my "users" which contained my music, documents, pictures etc... It took about 1:20 min. Whe it was complete I opened iPhoto and iTunes but nothing was there. What gives?

Not really. It's not a simple matter to copy your data from one account to the other because of permissions that will not allow you to transfer from one user's account to another, and what you may transfer will not allow you access. You would then need to change the ownership via a series of Terminal commands.
It's best to use the migrated account and delete the account you created using the Setup Assistant.

Itunes 12 won't load Apple Mobile Device - says I dont have sufficient privliges

Hi
I have tried to install iTunes 12 but it hangs when trying to install the Apple Mobile Device.
Service "Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviliges to start system services.
Abort Retry Ignore
Whatever I try fails and even after removing all details and files as Apple says it still doesn't work. Even going back to 11.4 fails in the same place and "Access is Denied" if I try and start the Apple Mobile Device Service.
It doesn't then find my iPhone, so I am stuck.
Anyone got any ideas. I have tried all the uninstalling and reinstalling several times now.
Chris...

I had the same problem. Use the uninstall feature to delete all of the Apple related programs that came with the recent download. There should be 3. Check the dates they were installed to be sure.
DO NOT DELETE any folders manually unless you want to lose playlists, etc.
Reboot your computer then reinstall. It worked like a charm for me!

I used migration assistent but all Iwork apps give an error

Because my Macbook died, I transferred everything from there over to my IMac. Both macs had well functioning pages, numbers etc apps before, but after migration, none of them works anymore. The dialogue window says: Pages can't open because of a problem. You may need to reinstall the application.
Now I do still have the installation CD, but this is being thrown out right after I gave it in.
What to do?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
iWork apps require some additional files that looks like they aren't on your hard drive, and that's why you are getting an error. Unfortunately, the only solution is to reinstall iWork from the DVD.
Also, you can try to install the latest iWork version from  > Software Update
