How do I transfer all the files and preferences of applications from one account into a new account in the same computer? The reason being, there is problems with the current user, but when I made a new user, it was fine.

I tried to log into root and do it, but it did not work.

copying the library folder from the old user to the new user would get your applications prefs over.
but if there was a problem and it was stored in the library folder that problem would come back.

Also, when you copy all ths libraray files over to the new user, you'll probably have to change the owner (in the get info pane) for many of them.

I went through something like this a few months ago and eventually got everything working, but it was a pain.

Thank you guys! Yes, it worked! It didn't take too long either. (And all the problems are gone too.)
