I am trying to transfer user accounts from my Time Machine Backup of my powerbook G4 to my brand new MacBook Air using the migration assistant. I managed to transfer one account (which works well) and I created another one and deleted it later, but now I keep getting the message that the second account that I try to transfer has the same name as an existing account on my computer.
However, as far as I know there is only one account on my new computer (Veltman), and I have renamed the account that I want to transfer (originally called Frank Veltman, now called Thuis).
I tried renaming both the old and new accounts in various ways (only the long names, of course), but this does not help. Presumably, I have created lots of user accounts which hide well away somewhere on my hard disk.
I am aware that this question is not very clear, but I hope you have dealt with this problem before
