caorongjin Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi there, OK.. so, what happened was I am migrating from an old computer to a new one. Unfortunately, I do not have all my Accordance installation disks because they are all at my parents home in LA and I am in the UK at the moment. I tried copying files over, but have not been very successful at this. Then, I found, that the Easy Install of Accordance 9 will help to install a lot of the files I need.. but not all, of course. This is true for (1) modules that were shipped on CD/DVD from Accordance and (2) modules that I bought from a third-party but have not registered with Accordance (how do I do that, btw?). My question is this. My Accordance modules are being installed in /Library/Application Support/Accordance, like I suppose it should be, but I am unable to simply copy my old files into that directory. Is there some way I can manually change some text file or something like that so the application knows of those files? I know there is that com.OakTree.Accordance.Mod.txt file in my Preferences directory that gets updated.. but I don't really know how to form those columns -- let alone if that will fix the problem. Thanks, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's easy to copy from one Mac to another: *Copying Accordance 9 to new Mac If you have everything running on the old Mac, and can either link them both by ethernet or firewire, or have an external drive you can hook up to either one, it is easiest to copy over the old Accordance and then update it. Copy these folders to the same locations on the new Mac. /Library/Application Support/Accordance OR user/Library/Application Support/Accordance AND user/Library/Preferences/Accordance Preferences user/Documents/Accordance Files The last two contain your settings and saved files, it is good to backup these two folders from time to time Then download and run the latest installer for Accordance. Write to the orders deparatment and explain about unregistered software and we will see what we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caorongjin Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Excellent! Ok.. so, it seemed like it was the last two folders was what I was missing. And I'll contact the order department. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
