No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant  (without erasing and reinstalling).
What do you recommend for fixing this?
Here's what's happened: 
When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501.  The next one gets #502, etc.  Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups;  click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options.  Do not change anything on that window.
So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502. 
The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration?  Have you done any new backups?  If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily.  Make it an Admin account.  Log on to it and delete all the other accounts.  Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup.  There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
Clear as mud?

  • Why are my apps not downloading?

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
    The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.

  • Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

    why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

    No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can.  The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
    Thanks

  • Why are my apps not downloading on my iphone?

  • Why are rentable movies not Dolby Digital?

    Can somebody tell me why most movies rentable via AppleTV do not have surround sound?  I'm not talking about the technical capability of an AppleTV, I know it can handle it as occasionally some movies and TV shows have it.  But most do not.  I personally will not rent any movies without it as quality sound is a huge part of a good movie. Does anybody know the reason for this?

    I'm pretty sure that every movie that gets released in a movie theater is going to be in surround sound. If not DD, than one of the other formats.  It's not exactly high tech to produce a movie with surround anymore (although the quality of the effects may not always be great)  I think the question is why Apple is not carrying the surround encoding over.
    I definitely have seen issues where movies on ATV are lableled as having DD but don't output as such.  That is a long running problem and I have fixes for that. 

  • Why are my movies not shown in iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini and have updated all the software etc to the latest versions.
    The problem I am having is that in the Leopard Movie folder I have all of my TV Shows and Films but the do not show up in the movie tab in iTunes, if i want it to be displayed there I have to copy the file to my iTunes folder, copying the film and making the Movie folder in finder pointless.
    I also have a PC with iTunes and it allows me to point to any folder that i have movie content in, even on different drives and it is all shown in iTunes, surely there is a way to do this on a Mac?
    Otherwise what's the point of having separate media folders in Leopard if itunes does not scan them for content?
    All help greatly appreciated.

    What do you mean? Please be more specific.

  • Why are my movies not avaiabel in my purchased articles ? do i have to buy them again ?

    i want to download some of the movies i bought in the store again because i got a new macbookpro. when i go to the section "purchased articles" i cant find any movies . only music apps and books . So my question : Do i have to buy them again ?

    No, you shouldn't have to - are you going to the Mac App Store or the iTunes store? If the iTunes store, just make certain that you're using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the movies. If you have any problems, contact  iTunes store support - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/.
    Good luck,

  • HT1386 My iTouch is telling me I cannot load certain movies.  Why are certain movies not allowed to be on my iTouch?

    I am getting a message stating my iTouch cant play certain movies.  IE: Thor, Real Steel...why all of a sudden cant my iTouch play every movie I purchase off iTunes?

    It actually depends on the file format of your movies as well as each movies codecs. The best would be to use an app where you can use any file format or it will give you a list of the specific file format that will work.

  • Why are my Apps not downloading since update on iPad Air?

    I have the Air, my first iPad. It froze after an update just a week or so after getting it so after checking these discussions I had to reset through iTunes but ever since then I can't download any apps - they just sit with the circle and say 'waiting'. Any ideas?

  • Why are my pics not showing up as the most recent pics uploaded?  I can find them but have to search

    I'm using PSE7 and first off, the program has been letting me upload pictures directly from my camera.  I now have to load them from my computer then from my computer to PSE7.  Once uploaded they used to pop up as the most recent loaded, now I have to search for them.  Any suggestions?

    In the organizer there is a option to change the view by Date (Newest First) or Date (Oldest First), you can change the settings inside the Organizer to change the view.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
