Hi guys and gals,

A question for you. What is the best way to transfer account information (iPhoto, Documents, iTunes, iMovie) type files from one account to another. I'm running into a case where a client has a corrupt user account and under the new user account, OS X is running appropriately and she now can finally send emails again (could receive, not just send). So I know one way is to go to external drive and back down, but that of course will take a while. Is there any other way of doing that's better?

Thanks in advance as always for any help

Edit: Answered my own question. Going to Finder > Hard Drive > User and going through the subfolders and getting what is needed is pretty dang fast.
