[QUOTE="mbuck2, post: 1511651, member: 299950"] I am migrating folders from old MBPros (OS 10.6) to new MBAirs (OS 10.8) for a lot of employees. Specifically, I am migrating only their Documents, Desktop, Movie, Music and Pictures folders (not the Library) via firewire using the old computers in target mode. Some of them have personal info in their Docs folder and are worried about security, so they have those files locked. My question: if someone has a locked file in their MBP document folder: 1) Will it transfer to the MBAir, or will it hang up the process 2) If it does transfer, will it be locked on the Air 3) If it is locked on the Air, can the user unlock it with the password? (I'm worried that the new computer does not have the old Keychain, so it can't recognise the password) Secondarily: the user proposed moving the locked file to an external HD, deleting it off their MBP, then moving it to their MBA 4) If they do that, can they unlock it on their MBAir? Thanks [/QUOTE]
