error after migration to new mac

Got this message after migration from old iMac to new iMac. System is totally locked up—can not use mouse or keyboard to make a selection. Rebooting did not change anything. Any suggestions for next step??

iMac 24″, macOS 12.1

Desktop Hello, I updated my MacBook Air to mackOS Ventura. Now I cannot open my desktop anymore (for example I cannot create a new folder or save anything on my desktop). It shows the error -8072. What could i do? I have done the update again but it didn't help.

iMac G3 startup error Found an old iMac G3 in my parents attic and decided to see if I could get it working again. I had an error about a DragLib but an old forum post showed I could hold shift to get past that. Now I’m at the part where I’m supposed to clear out the bad files but it says I the hard disk is locked and when I try to access it it hard locks the computer. No mouse, no keyboard input, the power button doesn’t work. Not sure where to go from here but I feel like I’m riiiight there with fixing or reformatting this thing (I couldn’t find the topic handle for the older computers sorry)
