File Transfer

BigMac

Hello, 

I need proper help. I work with a Mac. I've had a new Mac for a year now. I can't move my DAZ Studio from my old Mac to my new one. The DAZ files are from a Mac Late 2013 to a Mac Pro 2023. So far, I haven't found a proper tutorial. I don't know why I can't just copy the DAZ files to other hard drives. I hope a Mac user from Berlin will get in touch and help me right away. I'm willing to pay, too. But I'd also be happy if someone from another side of the world could help me. Thank you in advance, and I'm waiting eagerly. Thank you very much, 

Reza

A while ago, I moved my content files to an external hard drive from the main hard drive of my iMac:

I copied my content folders/runtimes to the new hard drive; in your case, you will copy those folders to 

I took a nice screenshot of the the settings of Daz Studio's Preferences/Content Manager  and the DIM installation settings and printed it

In your case, you will install Daz Studio and DIM and you will copy the Daz Studio folders that are in the Shared User directory of your mac

You will open Daz Studio and go to Preferences and Content Manager and configure Content manager to match your now moved directories and DIM to match where you will now install content

Reinstall things like scripts

And  Log into Daz Studio and update metadata and render

Content Manager needs to know where your content folders are, where Poser runtimes are, and where CMS cluster will live as well as Daz Connect info.

Hello nemesis10,

first of all, thank you for your detailed help. I'm trying to follow your instructions as best as I can, as long as my intelligence allows. Add to that my poor English skills. Of course, my friend Google is helping me. What I still don't know is what I can do with script files and how. Perhaps there's a good description for that? 

I wish you all the best.

See you soon

Hi dear nemesis10, 

first of all, thank you so much. It worked, and I'm so happy. I did everything as you described. Now I can work on my new computers. But I still have a small problem. I'd be happy if you could help me. I have over 1,000 projects on my old computers, and I could see them all in the Local User window in DAZ 3D Studio (image 1), but they're not displayed on the new computer (image 2). Can you please help me get the images into the Local User window? 

Thank you in advance and wish you all the best.
