First, I beg for mercy. I'm a WINdoze guy thru and thru , and just starting to tackle the MAC world, (and by tackle I mean 'tiptoe in').
Migrated one of my users from a Macbook to a MacbookPro via the migration tool/Firewire cable. Cool tool but it appears some problems followed her to this machine. (No, we didn't know ahead of time, not fully anyway)
Here's the issue, "TOMMY" (who's listed in PLACES) no longer works here, but "HOLLY" does...and all of Tommys stuff has Hollys name on it EXCEPT "PLACES", (Like Libraries and her documents, all Hollys) which in my Windows world is the profile/or account. Haven't found a place to rename Tommy to Holly so... I imagine we have some work to do.. (No worries about Windows AD either... we fixed it there long ago)
Since the migration of data and software is complete, and all of Holly's data has her name on it.....
DO I:
Rename Tommy to Holly in PLACES, and where?? (note: I have a feeling no one knows the KEYCHAIN PW in case that creeps in)
OR:
Rename all the Holly stuff back to Tommy, then create the NEW Holly account and move it all over to the Holly account and eventually dump the Tommy account??
AND:
If yes, uhhhhh HOW? Is there a utility? Software? Pot luck? Drag n drop?
I'm open to all suggestions, BUT, it'll need to be dumbed down for this WINdoze guy if you don't mind....
Thanks gang
