[QUOTE="kathik, post: 1576788, member: 238055"] I bought a new macbook pro and used migration assistant, like the guys at the Apple store told me to. I must have done something wrong because it set up a whole new user and put all the files, apps, settings, everything under the new user. I have the initial user I set up with my name and the user the migration assistant set up called transfer. Now I want all my photos on my user and I can't get them. I've tried copying the iPhoto library onto an external hard drive and I can access that library on the hard drive but I want to have them on my computer! When I try the suggestions I'm finding in the forums it doesn't work. I get a message saying that modifying Pictures requires and administrator name & password. When I click to authenticate and enter the password I get a message that says the operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified. I can't just restore from a backup because I've already added other photos and don't want to loose them. [/QUOTE]
