[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1818094, member: 396914"] If you take Bob's approach, just remember that in the OLD iMac you had files with security permission set for that old account. If you create a new account in the new iMac, even if the name is the same, it won't be the same account, so as you copy over the data, you'll need to work with the permission on those moved files to give you new account read/write authority.
