I just left the evil empire of pcs and made the best decision of my life in buying an imac. My question is I currently have an external hard drive connected which I have a music folder full of wma,s. I'm trying to import my entire collection into itunes but all the music folders have a lock on them, so I suppose they're locked for some reason. Any way to unlock these folders and will they import into itunes correctly if so?
Got a tip for us?

The lock is because the drive is NTFS formatted so cannot be written to from a Mac. WMA's can be converted to MP3 with a program like Easy-WMA (unfortunately not free) or ffmpeg if you like the command line so that they can be opened in iTunes. However for optimal audio quality its probably best to re-rip them as AAC's or MP3's with iTunes from the CD's if you can.
