     Let's change the question, and then you might see the answer.
     Because
     your gnucash data file (your gnucash books)  is just a special case
     of a
     more general "move between computers".

     Let's say you have a file that is a document produced by a word
     processor on your old computer. How do you move THAT to your Mac and
     how
     do you then access if from the a word processor app on your Mac? Why
     do
     you think THIS (moving the file that is your gnucash books) would be
     any
     different? OK now? Note that if you don't know how to do this,
     moving
     your gnucash file is just the tip of the iceberg.

     Besides, Martin, if you are migrating from using your old computer
     to
     this Mac, why do you want to move each of your user files (all your
     documents, all your pictures, your book marks, etc, etc, (and of
     course
     your gnucash data file) one file at a time? > Shouldn't you rather
     be
     asking "I'm going from this non-Mac PC to a Mac.How do I migrate all
     my
     user data?" Note that I am assuming (though you didn't say) that the
     from computer is not also a Mac and is not running under a 'nix
     operating system.
