iBooks relative link

[Chris Place]

I had to change the admin user name of a new Macbook because his sons name kept showing up, Home Folder etc, So I used,
'sudo mv /Users/oldusername /Users/newusername'
and Advanced Options in User account.
Now this as worked very well apart from iBooks!
iBooks still has the 'oldusername' in it's path.
Don't know what I've done wrong!!!

'sudo mv /Users/oldname/Library/Containers?com.apple.BKAgentService?Data?Documents?ibooks/books/ Users/newname/Library/Containers?com.apple.BKAgentService?Data?Documents?ibooks/books
Would this work, not very good with terminal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Chris

I'd delete the iBooks and download them again.

Why didn't you just make a new nice new account via System Preferences or Migrate that account.

trust me this isn't the only problem you may encounter, OSX is a mishmash of hard wired paths.

Hi thanks for getting back
“iBooks.app” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by OS X.

Not looking good!
