Ok..I think I get that. I just sort of inferred that the presence of an old App might be a corruptive factor ... looks like not. I still wonder if it was Finale which make that Preference folder become empty or invisible. Just before that happened, I tried to access the UM and got a message that it could not be found. That tells me that the Pref Folder was already empty for some reason. Then all weird hell broke loose.

It depends what options you chose when you first started up your new Mac. If you chose not to transfer applications (via the FireWire target mode method), then obviously the applications don't get copied in that case. But if you checked the appropriate box, everything should have transfered correctly.


Well, I thought all transfered ok. I have the older versions on the new HD, 2004 b, c, and an update. I sort of gathered from the MM guy that one does not want the actual apps on the new HD, just the files. Does that make sense?


Not if you want to actually run older versions of Finale.

If you just want to open older Finale files and convert them to Fin2006, you don't need the older versions. But often, it's helpful to be able to open a document in the same version of Finale that created it.
