Where are the files from my PC after migration assistant?

I just completed the migration assistant from my Dell Laptop to my Macbook Pro.  Now I cannot find the files.  Where did they get stored on my Mac?

In a new user account, created by the Migration.  Log off.  When you log back on, you should have a prompt to create a password for the new account.
See the last few lines in OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant.

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

  • Where are the files that camera profiles install?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Your music and movies should still be part of the iTunes library on your computer. See if your movies are listed in "movies" in the left window in iTunes.
    Photos you took with the phone are part of the last backup, if you did not sync after that. If you did, the data got overwritten.
    See what else is inside the backup and how to restore from it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

    Hey all,
    Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
    Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
    I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
    SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more.  BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
    I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
    QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
    QUESTION 2:  What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
    Thanks!

    If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
    Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
    Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
    Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
    OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
    Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

  • HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

    Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
    My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

    OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

  • HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

    I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail.  Where are the files of stored past mails kept?  In the same Mail.app?
    Thanks
    Gil

    Hi Gil,
    On Mail...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

  • Where are the files saved that someone sends you via Skype Windows8

    Hi, I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed on it and I must say that I was chocked when I realised that the system is like running a pad wich is so bad if you are looking to actually work with the computer. Then I installed skype and was astounded that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?I use skype to send files and do video calls. Now when someone sends me a file I have no choice of where that file is saved... Where are the files saved? OS: Windows 8 Thank you

    Hi, I can´t see any skype flooder in that location too What shall I do ? Where are my photos ?I am sure I received it , and its not hidden !Thats terrible !!!!I liked skype before, but now ? Why should I use thing like that when I can´t find my pictures! 

  • Convert to MP3 - where are the files?

    Just imported a CD (my own recording = no copyright protection) into iTunes and need to convert it to MP3. Changed the iTunes importing preferences to import using MP3 encoder and the files play in iTunes ...
    ...but where are they?
    Where are the actual MP3 files?

    That's what's so strange ... there is no "Artist -> Album" folder.
    I placed the CD into the Mac & it asked if I wanted to import - said yes & the tracks popped up in the "recently imported" menu choice on the left. I created a playlist & drug all the tracks to the playlist.
    I can't even find any evidence on the computer that any files were imported from the CD. The tracks play fine in iTunes, but there aren't any corresponding files on the computer I can see - MP3 or otherwise.
    I'm looking in Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music
    (There are several folders in there, but they are MP3s that I manually put into that folder so they'd appear in iTunes. It's the reverse I'm having trouble with - when you import music from a CD where does it store those files?)

  • Where are the files stored for shared applications?

    Hello,
    When I go to iTunes/iPad/Apps and then choose Pages under "File Sharing" and move a few files over, where are those files stored? Does iTunes make another copy and store it somewhere or does it just reference the location I copied from?
    Also, if I move a file over and then delete that file, does it delete from the File Sharing section as well the next time I sync?

    The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.

  • Where are the files that are sync'ed from iPhones stored in Windows?

    A newbee question but important to me!
    During the second sync operation after acquiring an iPhone 4, the program stopped / crashed (?), and the phone switched itself off. I guess that there was a reset at the same time, because all photographs, movies and music in the phone disappeared.
    Calendars and apps seem to be unaffected.
    Hopefully it will be possible to restore the missing files from the PC. But where are they?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Your music and movies should still be part of the iTunes library on your computer. See if your movies are listed in "movies" in the left window in iTunes.

  • Where are the files migrated from my old pc?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer files from my old pc laptop to my new macair and although it said it was successful, I can't find any files...no music, no photos, no documents. Any ideas??

    the BEST solution for me was going to this link
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/welcome_to_os_x_migrating_itunes_from_pc_ to_mac/
    it was a MILLION times easier than Migration Assistant PC-to-Mac
    and the best part there is no "other" user accounts and passwords to deal with!!!
    just FOLLOW the steps!! I transfered my Itunes library & pictures all in like 15 min with my ethernet cable!
