Moved some files from old mac to my Mac Mini. When I try to do anything with these files, deleting one for example, I get the "Finder wants to make changes. Type you password..." for every file/folder.
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
This files and folders don't recognize you as the owner. You should change their permissions attributes to allow you read&write access. Gather the files into one big folder. Then, right-click on that folder and pick "get info"
In the info window, open the little padlock underneath "sharing and permissions" Make sure that next to your name the permission says "read and write" Lastly, click the little gear-icon and choose "apply to enclosed item" Confirm the dialog and you're done. This should fix your issue.

Worked like a champ.
Thanks so much.
