My last MacBook started having problems so I purchased a new one. I had been using TimeMachine so everything was backed up.
I started the new Mac and answered the questions, and set the new Mac up in my name. I probably should not have done this first. Then I found out that I could use TimeMachine to restore all of my files and apps to the new Mac so I plugged in my external drive that had my backups and everything transferred to the new Mac. This was GREAT and painless in comparison to setting up all apps on a Windows machine (usually takes days or weeks to do this).
However, now I have 2 accounts on the new Mac and both are supposedly administrators. I would like to delete the first one but I do not know how to do that.
Also, and this is a major issue for me, when I open iTunes I get the message, "The iTunes Library File is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file".
I open the folder on the external drive that contains the music and it looks like I don't have permission to open the folder. I do a "Get Info" and in the permissions area, it shows that both accounts have read/write permissions.
What can I do to change permissions so that I can get back to using my iTunes library but on the new computer?
The other annoyance that I have found is that when I try to open Microsoft Office apps, I get this error.
>An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library.
Then the file that I am trying to open will open with Read-Only access.
Any suggestions?
