Recently migrated the contents of Macbook to iMac....

[rkt606]

As the title stated I recently migrated from my Macbook to iMac and now when i click on the documents folder, I'm told it can't be found. Everything else opens up with no problem as far as I can tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you see it in the Finder Window?

I do, as well as in the sidebar. When I click on the sidebar, that's when i get the alert telling me the folder cannot be located.

I wonder if its a permissions thing.

I wonder if its a permissions thing.

I don't think so, but i'm unsure. I've read where the permissions notice says something about permissions. Do you think it has something to do with the path name etc.?

Copy the line below then select the Desktop then hit shift-command-g and paste the text into the box and hit return. Does that open the Documents folder?

~/Documents

~/Documents

Yes it just does not work from the sidebar

Okay... open Finder and in the left column drag the Documents link off until it disappears in a poof. Now open ~/Documents like I described then drag the Documents icon back into the left Finder column. That should give you the correct path to the shortcut and fix this.
