Unfortunately I didnt get my backup done in time and the laptop went down.
anyway I had most of the stuff copied accross but still have some wierdness on new laptop.
I wanted to make sure everything was owned by my user (called admin) so i was trying to
chown -R admin * in my home dir.
I kept getting “Operation not permitted”. My freind Gordon pointed out that the files were locked and to remove the lock i need to do:
sudo chflags -R nouchg <files>
sweet.

I thought this might be my problem but when I do “chflags -R nouchg .” I get Operation Not Permitted!

Hey Noah, I wonder if i might have omitted the sudo part of the command, so it should have been:
sudo chflags -R nouchg .
