I'll make this short. Got a new 27" imac a week ago. I turn it on and set it up and everything is fine. I needed to get about 90 gigs of data (movies, mp3s, and documents, no applications or settings) off my 5 year old iBook G4. Had to do it via wifi, which took 13 hours.
When I started Migration assistant last night, it said I couldn't have 2 users with the same name, so I added my middle name to it.
Now, I have two account when i need one. When logged in as admin, I can look at the folders of the new user account, but there's a red circle on them. OSX says I don't have permission to view the contents. When logged in as the new user, I can't do software update without logging in as admin. This is annoying. All I wanted was transfer files, not create a new user.
I would love to get all the files from the new user account to my admin account. Sort of like mashing the two together. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.
