Hi. I have a MacBook Pro which I bought in 2008 and a iMac which I purchased this March. I have more data on the MacBook pro and hardly much on the iMac. I have used the migration assistant to transfer the data from my MacBook to my iMac but it has created another account so I have two user accounts on my iMac. Is there anyway to merge the two accounts please?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Drag the folders from one account's home folder to the other and authenticate yourself.

This will be a little more work intensive, but the correct way to do this. I'm assuming that all the data on the iMac is ALSO on the MBP correct? If so, perform an erase and reinstall of the OS on the iMac and them during the original setup of the iMac just choose "Migrate Data From Another Mac" and allow Migration assistant to do the rest. Your primary user accoun from the MBP will now be the only account on your new iMac.
Pondini has this: Transferring files from one User Account to another
Drag the folders from one account's home folder to the other and authenticate yourself.
Then the files will have wrong permissions.
