Hi all,

I need some help if someone could offer it...! I've upgraded to Leopard and when I restarted I simply got a blue screen and spinning ball of death for about 30 mins. I finally had to force power down and restart again, again nothing. So I had to re-install again from the Leopard disc and create a new user (which I am on now), however I now have none of my previous settings - mail / ical / dock / safari / address' / itunes etc all are gone. So in my user folder there is my new user and my old tiger user, my question is: how can I get Leopard to complete the migration...? I.e. what it should have done automatically instead of crashing.

Please help...

Powerbook G4 / 1.67 / 1GB RAM / 80GB HDD
 
Well, your settings are still in the old user folder from Tiger along with all your files. Since you're an admin user, you can access them. Just "pull them over", repair permissions and restart. I'd back them up before doing it, btw.
 
Hi there... sorry, I want to do the complete migration as per a standard upgrade - not just the user settings if you get what I mean.
