How did you open two Dropbox accounts?
Was the new iMac linked to your Dropbox account or was it showing your old iMac linked to your Dropbox account?
You can run only one installation of Dropbox on a single computer and it can ONLY be linked to a single account!
What you needed to do was sign in to Dropbox website and unlink the old computer from your dropbox account.
Unlink a computer from the Dropbox website
Sign in to the Dropbox website.
Click your name at the top-right of any page to open the account menu.
Select Settings from the account menu.
Select the Security tab.
In the My devices section, click Unlink next to the computer you want to unlink

Another question on Dropbox.
Stupidly I opened two Dropbox accounts. In retrospect that was not a good idea.
Can I merge these two accounts into one?

Hi Stuart,
Click on your Dropbox icon in the menu bar, go to preferences.
In the preferences window select Account - Computer name: is it the name of your new iMac?
You might still have your old computer linked to your Dropbox Account, not the new one.
Cheers,
Ronni

I've transferred the data from a 3.06 GHz Intel core i3 4GH 11333 MHz RAM
to 2.5 GHz Core i5 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 iMac.
When ever I start the new iMac I get an error message telling me that Dropbox is locked.
I've looked at Get Info on Dropbox and searched how to unlock Dropbox but no luck.
Anyone got suggestions.
