Why can't I access files transferred through Migration assistant

Hi all
I have tried to use the migration assistant to transfer files from my pc which is about to expire (Hard drive is on its way out). Ive had the Macbook for about 8 months and as I had never had a Mac before I wanted to get to grips with things before transferring everything over.
So after spending about 2 hours transferring files I now find I cannot access anything. It has put everything into a separate account, which I understand and have read other threads about this so I know it is normal. The problem is I cant get into that account as it asks for a password and none of my passwords work. I was never asked to give a password for the new account so if its not a new one or one of my original ones how do I get in. Also even if I do get into this new account can I transfer the files to my normal one?
Im beginning to think I should have just copied everything over by flash drive. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to remove the current rules for Firefox in the firewall to make ure to create new rules for the current Firefox release?

Finding Files Transferred with Migration Assistant

Hi there,
I used the Migration Assistant to move my settings, documents, programs, etc. from my iBook to my MBP. The assistant moved most everything from my iBook over, as I couldn't pick and choose which particular applications, documents, etc. that I wanted to migrate.
I'd like to go through my new laptop's drive and clean out the items that I didn't want transfered but were since I couldn't specify the files and apps I actually wanted to transfer.
Does the Migration Assistant group the files that it tranferred in 1 easy place? The only thing I saw was the System Folder (from Old Mac) directory. If there is not, is there a way to find those files and applications easily (ie some general flag that files that were transferred from Migration Assistan share that I could search for via Spotlight)?
Many thanks,
sarah

The moved documents, applications etc. are but in the same general place (directory, folder etc.) as the original. If images are moved from the User's Picture folder, they are put in the new User's Picture folder. The same is true for music, applications, documents etc.

I made a purchase on iTunes and it is not showing on any of my devices. When I tried to watch the show in my purchased file I could not. When I go back to iTunes it tells me I made the purchase already. Why can't I access my purchases. Case

Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

What is the "protected_media" folder and why can't I access it?

I was going through File Manager and saw a folder called "protected_media". Trying to open it gives me a "Folder Unavailable: You don't have permission to access this folder" message. Why do I have this folder and why can't I access it?
Also, what is the "misc" folder? Why does it have a folder inside it called "android"? Why can I go Device/misc/android/DCIM/Camera and find copies of everything that is in the Device/camera folder? Can I delete "misc" without messing anything-up?

the misc folder is for android apps and are virtual links to the files.
Do not delete the files in there or they will be gone from both places.

Why can't I access my transitions?

Why can't I access my transitions? When I open the transitions menu, it is blank with just one whited-out selection for each category name. When I originally installed the program, the transition menu had lots of transitions to choose from in each category. They normally appear as black boxes. So somehow I lost my transitions. I tried uninstall & reinstall but it made no difference. Is there a specific folder where I can look to see if the transitions are downloaded? I believe these are .png files. I tried a windows search using the keyword 'dip to black' but did not find anything.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Wherever you are, I suspect that you are in the Quick workspace and not the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 11, 12, or
13. Go to the Expert workspace. It is normal for the Quick workspace not to have the complete set of transitions that the Expert workspace has.
The answers are in the details.
We will be looking forward to your results.
Thank you.

Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

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.

Why can't I access Preferences in Edge Code?

Why can't I access Preferences in Edge Code? I would rather want the HTML and CSS sheets black or very dark grey and then the different HTML and CSS codes in colors rather than this plain black and white input. I cannot even view HTML and CSS side by side in the same window. I have to physically move my hand to switch views. Why isn't that an option that I can access?

The Preferences menu item is grayed out because there is no preferences dialog box yet. It sounds like you're asking for a number of different features, though. Edge Code is based on an open-source editor called Brackets, which is updated more frequently -- so some of the features you're asking about are available already in Brackets even if you're not seeing them in Edge Code.
More specific responses:
Dark color scheme -- this is available in the current Brackets release (View > Themes in the menu).
"HTML and CSS codes in colors rather than plain black and white" -- if you're not seeing color-coded CSS & HTML files in Edge Code, that's a bug. What is the file extension of your files? If you look in the status bar in the lower-right corner, does it say "HTML" or "CSS", or just "Text"? Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
View two files side by side -- this will be available in Brackets release 0.44, which is probably due out in late September.
"I have to physically move my hand to switch views" -- you can switch files without taking your hands off the keyboard using Ctrl-Tab / Ctrl-Shift-Tab (next/previous in MRU order) or using Ctrl-Shift-O (to filter on filename or a subset of the filename).
Hope that helps,
- Peter
