Q: How do I move all my iTunes stuff from one user to a different user (NOT to Shared) on the same iMac? I am the administrator. Thanks.

Drag the whole iTunes folder from the Music folder of the one user to that of the other, putting it in the same relative position in the drive heirarchy. You may have to authenticate to do this. You will likely also have to set permissions on the itunes folder and its contents. Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in:
