How can I access backed up files from my passport on a new mac computer. It shows them, but when I click on the files containing those backups it says I am not authorized to use them. I don't see any way of gaining authorization. Thanks.

I don't quite understand - how would that allow me to access the files on the passport (i.e., music, docs, pics, etc.)? Is there no easy way to gain access to the files on the passport using a new computer?

It will give you a file manager and strip security on the files.
