Hi Adrian, Did you set up your new computer with different "Accounts" compared to your old one? That's that this problem sounds like -- the new computer does not have the same accounts as the old one, so migrated files have no equivalent permissions on the new computer.
The general solution to your problem is to "repair permissions". This can be done using Disk Utility. Please note that it's normal for it to take a long time (minutes) and you should leave it to do so. It may produce many warnings, but in normal circumstances these are spurious and can be completed ignored. It's just important let your computer Repair Permissions. This should repair your system files and applications. However, there may still be data files in your home folder which will need to be manually updated to be Owned by your new Account.
