Hi, I've just migrated from my old PowerBook G4 (running Tiger), to a new unibody MacBookPro 15". Everything seems to have moved over (with a few glitches in some applications) - but the main issue is that all my old documents are in my old Users account, and I can't open them on the new machine - as it says I don't have the required permissions. (All such folders are marked with a small red and white 'stop' sign.) What can I do to access this User account on the new machine? As a stab in the dark, I've tried repairing permissions in Disk Utility, but this didn't work...

Any help much appreciated, C.
