May 28, 2011 8:28 PM in response to Brett Suttonby Niel,If you migrated on the first use of the computer, it'll be in your home folder. If you've already set up an user account, the Migration Assistant will move it to a new one.
A freshly installed OS counts as new.

May 29, 2011 1:29 AM in response to Brett Suttonby noondaywitch,★HelpfulHome folder is the one with the house icon and your short name.
Music will probably be in home / music / iTunes / iTunes Music
Pictures will either be in home / Pictures or whatever folder you had them in on the other Mac. If they were in iPhoto, that's where they should be migrated to.
If MA has created anew account, they will be in the home folder for that account.

May 29, 2011 4:41 AM in response to noondaywitchby Brett Sutton,Thanks. I have located the folders but they don't allow me to open them as it is saying I don't have permission to see the contents...? What now?

May 29, 2011 9:09 AM in response to Brett Suttonby noondaywitch,That's the problem with Migration Assistant. Much better to do the migration with Setup Assistant on first boot.
Are they in your own home folder or one created by MA? And have you given your account on the new Mac the same short name as the one on the old Mac?
