I'm going to ignore the part of iOS since MC does not run on iphone or ipad or other idevices.

If you upgraded from MC25 to MC26, it creates a new library and does not transfer the old one.  Not sure why, but that's how it's been since the beginning of MC for Mac.

To transfer your library over, you'll need to do a Backup in MC25, and then a RESTORE in MC26.  The process is (roughly):

1.  Open MC25.  File > Library > Backup Library.  Make a note of where you put the backup file!
2.  Close MC25.
3.  Open MC26.  File > Library > Restore library.  Go find the backup file you made in step #1.
4.  After it finishes, press OK.  Close MC26.  Reopen MC26.

You should be good to go from there.
