Merge 2 computers

HI people,

I have serched the knowledge base, but can't find a definitive answer.

The wife and I have our own computers laptops (MacBook Pro and MacBook Air). We buy a family iMac now children need to use a computer for school.

The question is how we merge our 2 computers together on 1? Just use assistant Migration twice? We want to be done with Applications, 1 library system folder 1 folder and our 2 user accounts distinct (we can add child accounts after).

Kind regards

Adam

Just, use The Migration Wizard and migrate only users you want from each computer.

You can migrate a system/settings of one of the computers folder and then migrate only the user account from the other

  • I have two computers using lightroom, how to treat two catalogs if I tried to merge

    I have a desktop and a laptop, they each have a different set of hard drives and so different catalogs how to catalogue the laptop (with its attendant images) and merge them into the catalog to the desktop? Or is it easier to have two catalogs separated on the desktop?

    Thank you

    Roger Lieberman

    Hi Roger,

    You can merge the two catalogs and store the main catalog on an external hard drive so that you can access the same on both the machine.

    You can consult this article to merge the catalogs:

  • No iCloud drive merger or double documents folder?

    I have two computers that I had of the SugarSync, sync.  In other words, the documents folder on both computers, through SugarSync, is synchronized and identical.  If I go into system preferences > iCloud and click Options to iCloud drive and turn on the desktop and Documents folders, be it synchronize (or fusion) the dossier of documents on two computers or it will publish two documents separate (and then more and more different) folders?  Thank you, in advance!

    I use iCloud Drive to synchronize the office and the three Macs Documents folder.

    Initially, the synchronization to create a folder for the documents of every Mac as subfolders of Documents and office, named 'old Documents - computer name '. Thus, there are essentially three separate folders of documents of each computer. I have to merge them on mine, if I want to.

    In my case, that doesn't matter much, because I started syncing with almost empty Documents and office on three Macs.  Any document that I add after the initial synchronization is now synchronized with the devices.

    In your case, where the records are already synchronized, you could simply remove a set of Documents on one computer, before you start the synchronization.

  • data synchronized and merged from all of the added devices?

    Is the first device I sighn in too the device main leader of all computers that will get the data? or they all merge together?
    I mean, I have two computers, a netbook and a laptop.
    The laptop is one that has all the correct addons and preferences and bookmarks, I just need things to sync on the netbook.

  • When I synced my office and personal computers, home bookmarks wiped out bookmarks from office; Office marks can be recovered?

    I have a new job and desktop was a blank slate as far than go to bookmarks. I started adding new Favorites, bookmarks that were not on my computer at home and important to my work. However, I found that I needed a lot of my favorites home, so I set up the synchronization. Both computers are the Macbook Pro using the current version of Firefox (15.0.1). When I synced, the home computer bookmarks replaced - not merged with - bookmarks to the desktop computer. I need these bookmarks from office. How to make a comeback?

    First of all, let's make a safe backup of all bookmark backups copy remains on your computer at home.

    Open help > troubleshooting information and click the display folder.

    You see a folder named bookmarkbackups? Make a copy of this file to a safe place (e.g. office). If you look in the folder, is there some who appear larger * than the newer ones? If so try to restore a bigger using the procedure described in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer (see restoring backups section).

    A little luck?

    Edit: I meant your desktop, in fact, but probably a good idea to perform the backup on two of them, until the synchronization works with reliability. Also, 'big' could be 'smaller' in this case.

  • synchronize multiple computers keeps all computers Favorites?

    Thank you

    Bookmarks and passwords are all merged and sent to all computers.

    That said, if you have complex trees bookmarks on your different machines may you need to reorganize a little bit (everything is synchronized, but something can be reworked). It's not a big deal, but just in case (it happens to me every time I have test something).

  • How to choose what syncs on your different computers

    Hi, I just transferred more of xmarks at their suggestion. I have a few questions on the synchronization works. I have two computers and an iphone I want on my network. As I understand, I've set up three names of the devices under a user name.
    However, does that mean that when I merge my files at home with my working files, the next time I sync my work computer, it will be all my favorites of the House as well? And will be both my job and my home bookmarks bogged down my iphone? On sharing bookmarks between computers? If I find a bookmark at work that I would like to move to the home computer, I can do this?
    Alternatively, remain one of the other, each synchronization registered under the name of device, all bookmarks and Favorites never see each other? How to move SOME of my favorites on the iphone or another device? In others, is there a way I can control what Favorites, passwords, etc. are moved and merged on separate computers? How would I do that?
    Thank you very much for taking the time to read my request. I hope hear from you soon and learn more about this program works!

    See this support article:

    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/how+to+sync+Firefox+settings+between+computers#Using_Firefox_Sync_after_signing_in

    Under use my custom settings on each device, you have the option of what types of data, you want synchronized with your other devices.

       * Bookmarks
       * Passwords
       * Preferences
       * History
       * Tabs
    

    During this that synchronization can not handle specific parts or groups of data per unit, it's all or nothing. When you "sync" a category of data with the server, all that data gets downloaded - no way to specify which bits of data doesn't get downloaded. At the level of the synchronization server that the data gets merged with the data from other devices, each device so has the same data.

    IOW, if you synchronize your bookmarks, all of them will be synchronized and with the features of this option is selected. There's no way to filter the Bookmarks 'House' Bookmarks 'working '. The only way around this is to have separate Sync accounts and separate user profiles in Firefox on the PC to 'work' and 'House' of data sets; and who will probably not work on the iPhone (don't know about you, does not have an iPhone).

  • Re: Merge the partition recovery CD?

    So, first of all, I would like to say that I am very good with computers/programming, so I guess what I was doing was rational.
    Okay, so, I accidentally deleted and merged my windows recovery partition not knowing it was for recovery. Unfortunately I didn't recovery CD is. Is there something I can do to get this score re-created with what I have now OR there at - it somewhere I can get a recovery media (Note: I am in the USA)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, Austin Airways

    Unfortunately the recovery partition can be recovered and you can do now is to order original Toshiba Recovery disk or to install own OS version.

    I m not from the United States and may not send you a link where you can order it, but I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Merge two files administrator

    How a person merges two to an account administrator accounts. as merging all its account information 'A' and 'B' consideration, to make my computer only one account / account icon?

    You can't do that. You can create a new third user account, connect to it and then use Windows Explorer (my computer) to navigate around and copy data from the old accounts user (C:\Documents and Settings\old-user-acct) to your new user account. Then go to control panel > user accounts and remove unwanted accounts. Note that if you have XP Pro or Media Center, you'll see the built-in Administrator account (it is hidden by design, except in Mode without failure under XP Home). If this is your case, you cannot delete the built-in administrator or you would ever want. XP is a multi-user operating system, no matter if only one person is using it. In all operating systems multi-user - NT, Win2k, XP, Vista, Unix, Linux, Mac OSX - there is a built-in account that is 'God' on the system. In Windows terminology, is "Administrator". It is a required account and is not normally used in the daily work. In XP, you want to have a minimum of two user accounts on the system - your own user account for day-to-day work and the built-in administrator.

    If this has not answered your question, please clarify your situation. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • NEED TO MERGE TWO ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTS AND ALL THE FILES IN XP - NO WINDOWS 7! CANNOT FIND TRANSFER IFTO ANYWHERE.

    I desperately need to merge two administrative accounts on my laptop - using XP and NOT windows 7 (so there is no transfer Assistant). I need to transfer all of the OLD admin. account in the NEW Admin account.

    For the full backup used Carbonite - due erase hard drive and reinstall XP - carbonite cust. veeeeery slooooow service and I had to use the laptop for the preparatory work.  When the backup has been restored, he implemented the administrative account of origin, besides I have created a new.  Now, most of the files are under the old administrative account, and I need to move the OLD files in the NEW Admin account.

    Would sincerely appreciate your very specific instructions? ... step by step, if possible? Not quite a prolific technician, but no slouch, not more.

    Thank you very much!

    You can't really merge two accounts. You can copy data from one account to the other. Folder options > view tab > check "Show hidden files". Then go to:

    c:\Documents and Settings\name of the old account and copy the files to My Documents, desktop, Favorites in folders in your new user account. When you have all your stuff, you can delete the old user account from the control panel > user accounts. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Merge document and merge Word using Excel data does not display the result required in the merged document.

    I have created a merge document and mail merge in word using an excel sheet spread as a data source.  Initially, no sign of £ showed in the document among other formatting problems.  I have (finally) found help explaining that I should use MS Excel via a DDE data sheets - I tried this but it seems to corrupt the data so that the column that contains say '1 names' contains "price data", "address" line contains the data of 'comments', making the e-mail merge nonsense.

    If you use an alternative data source is CBO or something all NFL results (which wasn't shown on the worksheet) appear in the mail merge '0' both are unacceptable.

    Surely I'm not the only person to meet these challenges is the software never tested before being sold where is the help manual, I tried to use the online help but will not accept my product key.  All solutions provide the most basic assistance but my documents are fairly complex something computers should be good.  I lost most of today on this.  Sometimes I think it would be faster to type these longhand things than to use a Microsoft product.

  • Help, please! HOW CAN I CANCEL A MERGER IN NETWORK ON VISTA BUSINESS?

    Recently, I'm new to Vista Business & while I was setting up networks I have merged with a wireless network, on the accident. Now, I have all of other windows programs on my hard drive & I can't undo that! I tried several times to restore but it fails. How can I reverse this? I want to just my old network LAN back! Help, please!

    I'm sorry, but there is no point at all. If you connected by mistake to an another unsecured wireless network, you do not have all their programs installed on your hard drive. You could see everything on the hard drive of this person if you look at what it is sharing, but all his stuff cannot magically transferred to your computer. If you know this person, it would be a good thing to explain why it is important to use good encryption on wireless networks. They are probably completely unaware of what they are doing and would be horrified to know that their stuff is visible in the world.

    Better, please explain what is the configuration of your network and what you were doing. If you try to connect to your wireless network, maybe you didn't your configured properly and that is why you connect to hers. This often occurs if both parties leave the default SSID (wireless network name). Example: If you have both left to 'Linksys', you could connect to the Linksys instead of your Linksys. Just for completeness, here are the instructions for implementing a secure wireless network:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

  • Merging existing separate Message Mail in Windows stores in a single shared on a WHS server message store

    I recently installed a HP Mediasmart Server running WHS on my home network which has also a Dell desktop computer and a HP laptop running Vista Home Premium.

    I use the name/password of user even account for the office, the laptop and the WHS server that allows me to easily share files on the network.

    However, the Windows Mail message store for my user account on the desktop and the laptop are local to each machine, which facilitates the management of messages in different message stores a pain in the neck.

    What I would like to be able to do is to establish a unique shared message store for my user account on the server and access them easily from the desktop or the laptop.

    Windows Mail in Vista will allow me to do, and if so is there a write detailed to the top of the steps required to merge two message stores separated in a commune on the server that will be accessible to my user account on both client systems?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try this:

    Create a folder on the Windows Home Server (WHS) to store the Windows Mail folder. Define then both computers to use the WHS location.

    The default folder location where Windows Mail stores messages is:
    C:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
    If you want to move the folder to another location, follow these steps:

    1. click on tools and select Options.
    2. Select the Advanced tab.
    3. in the maintenance and troubleshooting section, click the Maintenance button.
    4. in the Maintenance dialog box, click the store folder button.
    5. in the store location dialog box, click change.
    6. navigate to the location you want, and then click OK.
    7. click OK to close the dialog storage location.
    8. click on close to close the Maintenance dialog box.
    9. click OK to close the Options dialog box.
