I am giving my old G4 iMac 20 (OS X 10.4.11) to a relative and have transferred my files; cleared caches, passwords, etc. and setup selected apps, iTunes songs, and iPhoto pictures for the new user. In order to conclude this iMac transfer, I have several questions:

When I change the Mac account to the new user and make her the administrator, what impact on the settings, iTunes songs, iPhoto phones, etc. whenever I delete my account?

What do I do with .Mac which she does not have membership yet?

Thanks!
Switcher and damn glad...with iMac and PB who would not be happy!

If you want to keep the settings and simply change the name of the user, you should change the name of the user.
