Migration Warning when migrating from MacBookPro to Mac mini

When Migration Assistant finished migrating from 2017 MacBook Pro to 2025 Mac mini, I got this:


“Migration Summary

Migration Warnings


  Some documents for __(me)___ could not be transferred.


    *  /Library/Keychains/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/keychain-2.db-shm

Files that were relocated were added to the “Relocated Items” on your Desktop”


XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX is a bunch of characters that I redacted because I don't know if this is private.


The above folder was copied to the new Mac as the following (it added four characters depicted as YYYY):


/Library/Keychains/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-YYYY-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX


All the files in this folder were copied from the old Mac to the new Mac.  The only difference are the file sizes for 2 files:


  • keychain-2.db-shm   131 KB vs 33 KB
  • keychain-2.db-wal    255 KB vs 3.5 MB


Do I have an issue that I need to worry about?


Also, the migration process created a folder named “Relocated Items.nosync” which points to '/Users/Shared/Relocated Items’.  I don’t know what these are for. Do I need this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.7

MA had already completed. I don't have any other problems other than what I posted above. I did not follow your instructions. After my Mac mini was delivered, Apple sent me an email that prompted me to get an agent on the phone to help me set up, which is what I did. I asked the Apple agent if I should connect up the two Macs with Ethernet or USB-C. He told me to use Wi-Fi.
