[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1641167, member: 46727"] Maybe too late to ask... but did you make a backup of your new iMac prior to moving the files? You ran into a "possession" problem which occurs when moving files from a NTFS formatted drive on to a Mac which is using HFS+ as its file system. I don't know of a way to take possession of all those files at once. Unlocking all files using a terminal command would render your iMac useless. You wouldn't be able to boot it and would wind up having to reinstall OS X. You may wind up having to do that anyway to resolve your problem. [/QUOTE]
