How do you transfer data, apps, files etc. from a data transfer from an old computer to a new one. The Apple Store d/l everything to a folder on my desktop named Data Transfer and I want to know if I can just drag it out of that folder into my new H/D and then throw the Transfer folder away, or what. Also, can I just copy the apps from the H/D into my old User folder. I know these are pretty simple questions, but I have never had to do this. Previously the H/D failed or something catastrophic happened and I had to reinstall everything. For some reason the folks at the store created two new Users on the H/D using mine and my wifes names. I would like to return to the original ID's. Any help would be appreciated.
W....liar or idiot? Pick two.
