[QUOTE="FIxit, post: 1905538, member: 411065"] Hello guys! I had the same problem recently with an old mac, and the issue is the FIreVault encryption, make sure to have it turned off on the old system before migrating the files. If it's on the files will migrate, but they won't be accessible because they are encrypted. [LIST=1] [*]Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy. [*]Click the FileVault tab. [*]Click [IMG alt="Locked"]https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/il/elcapitan-lock-inline.png[/IMG], then enter an administrator name and password. [*]Click Turn Off FileVault [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
