GAAHHHHH.
I did figure out a solution that doesn't require me to re-program everything:
1) Open the Disk Image I saved of my old HD.
2) Create a bootable backup of this Disk Image on my FireWire HD using Carbon Copy Cloner (this involves destroying my current bootable backup).
3) Boot from the FireWire HD and launch the old copy of iKey.
4) "Export" the iKey Finale shortcuts and save them to the internal HD on my new computer.
5) Reboot from the internal HD on my new computer.
6) Launch the new copy of iKey and import the exported Finale shortcuts.
7) Re-create my Carbon Copy Cloner backup.
This is just f***ing ridiculous. Without that external FW drive and Carbon Copy Cloner, this would not even have been possible, even though I have **all my old iKey data** backed up. This is absolutely the last straw -- as soon as I get a day free to re-program my Finale shortcuts, I'm switching to QuicKeys 3.0 and never looking back.

Hi Steve,
I can't go back to iKey 1.x because iKey *destroys* your 1.x shortcuts in the process of importing them into iKey 2.x. That's the only reason -- otherwise, I would have gone back to 1.x immediately.
Also, I can't "export shortcuts" on the old machine because I *sold* the old machine. I have a Carbon Copy Cloner-created disk image backup on my FireWire HD, but I don't know how to boot from a disk image. In fact, I don't know if that's even possible. Honestly, I didn't worry about making a *bootable* backup of my old Mac because I didn't think there was any need -- and I was more concerned about making the CCC backup of my *current* machine bootable.
I have the "Finale2005a.plist" backup -- isn't that enough? Why do you have to "export" shortcuts first???
Surely what I want is possible? If not, I'm f***ing done with iKey. F*** them. I'd rather spend money I don't have on QuicKeys 3.0 than f*** around any longer with this goddamn iKey trainwreck.

First of all, why are you using iKeys 2? Can't you go back to vers. 1?
In any event in the iKey2 editor on the old machine File->export, on the new file->Import.
Does this work for you?

Arrg. I'm still stuck using iKey 2.0 for the time being (can't afford QuicKeys), but I'm having no luck transferring my previous iKey shortcuts to my new Mac mini.
I want to do this without deleting the iKey preferences on the new machine. I just want to add my Fin2005a shortcuts, which were already in iKey 2.0 format.
How is this done? I've checked the iKey "manual," but it says nothing about transferring shortcuts from another machine -- only updating from iKey 1.0. Gah.
