You might try making a copy of these two files:


/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MapsSupport.plist

/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mediaaccessibility.plist


And, transfer them to the same folder on the other computer.


Three Ways to Make the Home/Library Folder Visible


A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:


chflags nohidden ~/Library


Press RETURN.


B. Click on the Desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.


C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:


~/Library


Click on the Go button.
