Apr 4, 2016 6:22 PM in response to Linc Davisby yvzydn,Unfortunately migration assistant can't help me, I have formatted my old mac and gave it to new owner. But just in case I have copied to my keychain folder to my usb. Is there any way to add them to my new mac?

What instructions? Where did you copy it? Did you replace the existing login keychain? Is the keychain completely empty?

Apr 4, 2016 7:14 PM in response to Linc Davisby yvzydn,I have not used iCloud before and just in case I save all keychain file. It has only login.keychain and keychain-2.db, keychain-2.db-shm, keychain-2.db-wal and user.kb. The important keychain for me is local items one.
