Hi,
I recently bought an iMac G5 it has 10.4.11 installed. I wanted to transfer a lot of data etc from my old iMac G3 (10.3.9). So i connected with firewire and started to transfer a lot of stuff manually e.g. iTunes library & iPhoto library. I then discovered the Migration Assistant, so I decided to give this a go thinking that it would either skip or overwrite anything I had manually copied over.
Well after awhile of transferring I came back to my new iMac to discover that there was barely any room left on the hard disk (the itunes & iphoto libraries must have doubled up?) also, now I can't access loads of software and folders that I could previously - there's a tiny "no entry" symbol on the icon to folders for example and when I click I get the message: "The folder ...... could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges".
Help. Can this be sorted out? Preferably without having to format the hard drive and start from scratch..
p.s. the new imac was set up with a different user name if thats any help
