Re: Help me fix my user acct on my Mac

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I use Excel, the rest of office I could do without. I don¡¯t think MS Office is the cause of the problem. I think iCloud did not like working with macOS 10.7.5, but there is no way to prove it. Also Office suddenly stopped acknowledging y product key,?causing other issues.

Mail, rebuilds its files, since I use IMAP.?I have some old files archived on my old Mac,?along with some email that is stored on the old Mac, no longer in the Mail server. I¡¯m not worried about prefs, as I don¡¯t mind going thru them to reset. I use it as a time to review and reset. I found that many of my needs have?changed since I retired. Since I crossed the 64-bit only line, I have to install or upgrade?several apps. Some are no longer being developed, so need replacement.

I¡¯ll rename both Users, and then hold onto the old one for a bit.

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it.

Brent, I can¡¯t say anything about Office; I don¡¯t use anything from MS. ?But if it was authorized on the system presumable other user accounts can use it, unless of course Office is the source of the original problem that the new user ID is meant to solve. ?I did copy over or import things from the original user Library, like the Apple Mail files and a few preferences that had taken a long time to set up, particularly those with a keyboard shortcuts. ?I left the original user ID in place for a while, with just about everything cleaned out of it, just in case. ?It uses very little space and does nothing if you¡¯re not logged into it. ?There might have been a couple of things I had to re-install, but just about all of that stuff sits in the main system folders and libraries. ?
