[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1615938, member: 305283"] sammsousa, ready whenever you are. I'm going to try and make this copy/paste in Terminal so I need some information: What is the shortname for the bad account? The name of the user folder. What is the name of the good account? What is the exact name of the external drive? Want to save bookmarks? What browser do you use? Want to save mail? Using Mail? Going to try and copy everything EXCEPT the Library folder. This is where most problems arise, corrupt .plist files and whatnot. If I can get these answers I can make commands you can copy and paste into Terminal reducing the chance of typos and errors. This isn't that hard to do so don't get discouraged. I just hope you can find enough free space on an external drive. If you can, from the good account, go to /Users, click on the bad home folder and do a Get Info on it. Should show the size of the folder. Will help in determining how much space you need. [/QUOTE]
