[QUOTE="david71, post: 1556798, member: 317116"] I decided to leave this until this morning. Followed your instructions but got confused and ended up simply reinstalling OSX which of course did just that!....So I was back to square one (doh!) Anyway, because the proccess took a couple of hours to complete I decided to go for option 4 that you described Jake. I have used Migration assistant and all my files have now been transferred to my mac. But now I have 3 user accounts on my mac. the third one being ASP.NET Machine account??? what's all that about. I'm a bit annoyed really......I really wish that it was made very clear to new users that unless they choose to migrate the very first time the new mac is switched on then they'll have to either live with 2 user accounts or go through this rigmarole. Anyway....I suppose it's going to help me in the long run work out my new machine but I was hoping that it would be simpler. So can someone please advise me/direct me to a thorough guide to merging the 2 accounts together or move the files through shared folders into just one account? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
