Hi All:
I am completely new to mac (well, i used it as a kid when thats all they had in school and then it was just for playing that old frontier game) so I do not know how to do all the cool things I could on a PC. A business partner convinced me to make the switch.
I have attempted to use the migration assistant to bring over some of the basic necessary documents & pics from my old PC and will probably move the music & vids to an external drive since I have an SSD and its not very large (or try to figure out how to add another SSD or larger SATA fo that stuff)
Anyhow - i used the migration tool - it said it completed but I couldnt find anything so I came looking on here to see where my stuff went. I found out that it created a new user account... ok try to go into those folders to move the stuff over? I am not allowed... the new user was created as another admin. Ok, so I go log in as that user and share everything with my main user acct? Nope - its password protected and th credentials are different than they were on my PC. (it keeps telling me the password is expired but i need the "old" one to reset it and i tried most of the basic standard passwords which didnt work.
Ughhh... should I erase the user and all the stuff i moved over then to it a different way?
Thanks in advance for your advice... i really love my new MacBook Pro and looking forward to doing some cool stuff with it!!
