Change owner for all files owned by x I copyied files from my MacBook, mainly files from /usr.
The one and only user on my computer is called 'Julian' (like on my MacBook).
A lot of the copied files are now owned by '501' (id of "Julian" from the MB). 

drwxrwxr-x@  28 501     admin   952  8 Jul 23:02 man/


Is there a way to change the owner of all files owned by '501' to 'Julian'?
Sure, with the near-magical find command. The simplest way is like this:

find . -user 501 -exec chown Julian {} +


The "find" command is explained in the manpage, and in a number of tutorials and howtos like this one, nut the short idea is "find everything that matches these criteria, and do this command with each one".


. means to look in (and beneath) the current working directory.
-user 501 means to only find files owned by user 501.

Note that this is BSD-specific; in some other POSIX systems, user takes a username, and a separate uid flag takes numeric user IDs.

-exec … {} + means to run whatever's in the "…" (in this case, "chown Julian") repeatedly, passing it as many of the found files as possible.

So, if there are 5000 files, it may end up calling chown 4 times (on the first 1203, then on the next 1888, and so on). 
Note that this is a BSD extension (although GNU has a similar extension); there is a portable equivalent with ; instead of +, but this will call chown once for each file, which will generally take a lot longer. (The standard solution is to use -print0 and pipe the result to xargs -0. But, since you're doing this on a BSD system, you don't have to do that.) 
Note that if you're typing this in the shell, some shells will require you to escape the braces, but bash (the default shell on modern Macs) does not.
