I found my cards. Thank you for your help. I was clicking "Open" rather than "Import," but I still cannot figure out why I was unable to find the cards (and still can't) searching from any finder box other than the one that pops up if I click "Import" when I have Mnemosyne open.
On my typical Finder window or if I click "Open" from Mnemosyne or any other program, if I click "Andrew's Mac" and then "Library" there is no "Mnemosyne" folder and no "Mnemosyne1" folder. What's more, if I search for .mem files on my computer via Spotlight or the Finder search, it says I don't have any such files. Nor can it find the files if I search for text that I know to appear in the cards themselves. If, however, I click "Import" with the program, I get what appears to be an identical finder box, but in this one, my "Library" folder has subfolders entitled both Mnemosyne and Mnemosyne1. I find that very confusing. Indeed, I find everything about how computers organize information internally confusing, but I found this particularly so. I don't understand why there is no longer a program like Google desktop that easily and unerringly finds whatever you have ever seen on your computer, be it on the machine itself on online. Anyway, thank you again. And I will make sure to back this up regularly, just in case I do not get so lucky next time.
