I need to move content from an old account to a new account on my IMac

Hello

When I imported all my old files / images / iTunes on my windows to my IMac desktop, he created 2 accounts.  The account that I don't use my library iTunes in it and other files etc...  I need to move the contents of my ITunes library on my current account - both on the same currency.  Grateful for any advice... Thank you

Hello FMATB,

Please ask for help here in the Apple Support communities. I will be happy to provide you with options for you to do all your account data on your iMac, the account that you usually use on the same computer.

The more simple since you already have now all the data on the same computer, a little less than two different accounts, is to locate and organize your iTunes Media folder in the unused account. This article helps Apple will help you ensure that all of your songs, playlists, play counts, and library is consolidated and ready to go: locate and organize your iTunes files.

Once this is done, this help article has a few options, and it also offers images to help you move the library using an external hard drive or flash (USB key). How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. "Since the data are on the same computer, just under different accounts, I recommend that you check" part 3: copy the backup to iTunes on your new computer ", but you can use the hard disc or flash drive (thumb) method, or you can use the Shared folder, located in the Finder, Macintosh HD, users shared.

Either option will help you to fill in moving your music from the unused account and put it in your main account. Be aware, that if you currently have music on your main account, it will ask to replace the file, or place it with all your other data. If you replace the data, music and data that you will only be of the second account. If you add, when you open iTunes, you still can't see your music until you pass the library. If you need spend libraries, see this help article: Open a different iTunes library file or create a new.

Thank you and have a great rest of your day.

  • Move contents from the old PC to new PC

    Which is simplest and cleanest way to migrate all the content from my old PC (XP) to my new PC with Windows 8.1. Microsoft says it's to make a download available from Laplink (PCMover Express). This downloaded software will do the job if I connect the PC again to my router / FIOS network via an Ethernet cable and make the transfer of PC to PC over the network, or it would be more efficient to use the Laplink USB cable by buying their software?

    It depends on what you mean by "everything."

    In general, it is easy to move data files (e.g. documents, pictures, music, etc.) between machines, and if the machines are all connected to the same network, the copy on the network is the best way to accomplish the move (it is always prudent to copy, check the computer to see if everything is fine, and then delete the old computer instead of moving that automatically deletes the original files).

    Some applications, such as Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer, move the 'parameters' as well as data.  For the most part, this includes things like the customizations of office and similar customizations; It may also include the "Favorites" browser, music playlists and so on.  These 'settings' are really more data files, but they are located in more obscure places and the average user probably don't know the files to move or where they need to go.

    In general, you can not move the programs (applications).  These must be reinstalled (assuming they are compatible with the new version of Windows) using the original installation media (CD, DVD, downloaded the Setup file).  PCMover of Laplink, however, claims to be able to move the programs.  I've never used this product and I saw mixed reviews.  So if you either don't have installation media for your programs or you don't want to go through the resettlement process, read the reviews and decide if you want to take a chance on this program.

    Whether you use the USB owner or your network, apparently PCMover will work with both.  The main difference will be the transfer speed, and this will depend on the type of network you have and the type of USB connection available.  Typical home networks now have a theoretical maximum throughput of 100 Mbps.  USB 2.0 has a theoretical maximum of 480 Mbps.  Gigabit networks are faster and so are USB 3.0 connections (although I think would be that does not support the USB Laplink USB 3.0 cable).  Here's what a 2010 review had to say on this subject:

    With an external hard drive, USB2, we found it took about four hours to travel 30 GB of data, and beyond 100 Mbps Ethernet the same charge took more than a day of solid copy. Your best bet is a Gigabit LAN (if you have one) or the cable USB Laplink, which should in theory work around twice as fast as an external drive.

  • Try to move the content from the old profile to the new profile of corrupt, but do not know what are the permissions to use

    I already followed the procedure to copy the files from the old profile to the new up to a certain point, but the "destination folder access denied" message for 9 elements.  When I go to change the permissions, I don't know which ones to use.  Any help would be much appreciated.  It took to run the computer all night and part of a day to get to this day it is so slow now.  Thank you.

    ABSG dear,

    Welcome to the MSFT support community.

    Try to start your system in safe mode and disable/uninstall the game for now. If the uninstallation of this game is everything to normal, you will need to install it again. If this is not the case, try another solution.

    Create a new user profile and delete the two accounts as there is a high risk user accounts has been corrupted. Heads up here learn more on how you can fix a damaged user profile and create a new:

  • Copy-move content from the C drive to a new larger disk? (space)

    I have Windows XP and other applications and data files on a hard drive a little lack of space and would like to copy on a larger drive (500 GB), there are commercial software on the market by Acronis that will do that; However, I was thinking about this method that uses the copy program. This will work.

    1. install the new drive as slave.

    2. make a bootable XP floppy or flash drive.

    3. go to the root of the old drive and select all the files in the Explorer.

    4 locate the WIN386. SWP file and unselect by using the CTRL key.

    5 copy all old drive to the new drive.

    6. remove the old drive and change new master drive.

    7. new boot disk.

    8. If startup does not work, start by using the startup disk or a flash drive.

    9. to invite him back, type "Sys C:".

    10. Remove boot floppy/flash drive and charge it.

    11. If this does not work, buy commercial software.

    10 first steps will work? It would be certainly much cheaper, but if I know that it won't it allow me to save a lot of time and unnecessary copying.

    Do not work, unless your disks are both in the FAT32 format - and you can only do with a 500 GB drive

    Your best shot would be to use a correct application of cloning or patition manager to do the work for you.

    Some have a free trial that will work before it runs out.

  • importing data from the old system to the new system, key to the raw16 column

    Hi, experts,

    now I have a new system, the design of the system is to use raw (16) column as the key column in all tables of database.
    of course, when the new system goes live (in production), new records of transactions are written to the new database system.
    When the new system inserts new records, it manages itself to avoid any conflict of the raw key column value (16)


    Now, I'm dealing with this problem:

    I need to import data from the old system to the new system, I use sys_guid() to fill the column raw (16) into the new database system.
    How can I avoid conflicts of raw column value (16) between the old system data and the new data of database system?

    the sql code I write is very simple:

    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16,...,...)
    Select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
    of old_sys_table_a;
    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, col1, col2 )
    select key_column_raw_16, col1, col2
    from old_sys_table_a;

  • How can I move my subscription of cloud from my old computer to my new adobe?

    How can I move my subscription of cloud from my old computer to my new adobe? I know that I am allowed to have on both computers, but I like to keep my second install for later use instead of having it on my old computer that failed and go has the size. If I just uninstall the cloud from my old computer will know that it was uninstalled freeing my additional use.

    Hi Kathleen_K_photo,

    Before you uninstall the creative applications cloud deactivation is required. To disable the subscription, you can launch any product (photoshop, dreamweaver, etc.)

    go to help menu and you will find the option disable. This will disable the entire subscription and you don't need to do it for all products.

    After you cancel the subscription, you can uninstall the products one by one.

    You can then go to the new machine and connect to www.creative.adobe.com, connection, and then start downloading the products.

    Thank you

    Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

    I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one.

    Hello

    If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

    • Your old XP machine is usable
    • It still allows to log
    • There is no password required when you don't sign

    So you can try this...

    1. Click Start
    2. Click on Control Panel
    3. Click on user accounts
    4. Give your XP logon password
    5. Restart your XP machine
    6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4
