Moving from Windows to Mac

(1/1)

JensWoermer:
I had a large library with MC31 and made a backup.
The files where located at P:\M\...

I installed MC 31 on my new Mac and restored the library.
I copied my musik to a volume called musik.

Then I updated my database to the volume musik on my mac.
The file path at the mac ist now e.g. /Volumes/Musik/2

If i configure autoupdate of the folder "2" at my volume Musik I get new files with the following path: \Volumes\Musik\2

Can anybody tell me exactly what to to if I want to update my database at the new Mac?

I´m totally confused about the "/" and the "\"

zybex:
You may need to edit the "platform.jmd" file after restoring the backup to switch it from "Windows" to "Linux" (not sure what the correct value is for MacOS).

Take a look at this:

Search the forum for "platform.jmd" for more cases.

JensWoermer:
Is there nowhere a guide to move the library to a Mac??

zybex:
MacOS is a Linux variant (not really, but close enough). Just use the Linux instructions, they're the same.
