Just wondering if anyone has an idea about deleting users.
I didn't know I should have moved my old stuff from my imac before I set up a user on my power book. Now I have 2. One which has virtually nothing in it which is my new users; and one which is a copy of my old one. Unfortunately when I log in as the old user I can't download any files (dmg, rtf etc) Just get a message "can't create files" but works Ok with the new user. Up to this point I was just going to delete the new user, but now I don't know. Any ideas?

Hmmmm!

Does your new user have the same name as the old user ?

How did you copy ?

At a guess it is a permissions thing !

You can copy   a " user "  files  to a new drive using Superduper .
It will work identically.
