[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1524331"] From your description, you did not do the Migration Assistant transfer properly. It sounds like you established an account on the new machine, then use MA to transfer stuff. That stuff came with permissions for the OLD account, not your new one, which led to the permissions issue. In the process of turning on and off it sounds like you've messed up the operating system. Boot to the Recovery partition ([URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718"]link[/URL]) and reinstall the operating system. Then boot into the new system and use MA before you create an account. You should end up with an account that is exactly like it is on the old machine. [/QUOTE]
