Pastor Kevin Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I was using Accordance 9.6.8 on an older MacBook. I have a bunch of notes in my "pastor Kevin" note file. I have upgraded to a new MacBook running OS 11.2.3 and upgraded to the new Accordance 13.1.5 How can I migrate my user notes from my old Mac onto my new? I tried copying the file to the Accordance Files/User Notes folder, but that didn't work. What's the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Only a suggestion: Have then double clicked on it? So Accordance know they are there? Another way: On the bottom of the Library press the + (plus sign) and lead Accordance to it. After then there is a checkbox to convert the User Notes to the new format. See the image below. There is in the Preferences. Edited March 23, 2021 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kevin Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Neither works. When I double click it opens in Text Edit (see below), and when I use the + sign and try to lead accordance, it is grayed out and can not be selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does the file has a suffix? .acc4 if not add this. I have downloaded the oldest notes from http://www.accordancefiles1.com/exchange/notes.htm and it opens without problems in 13.1.5 after a double click on it.

Fabian Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 If you have imported it. Run under the Help the Setapp Assistent. Go through. At the end it asks you if you want to convert to the new Notes format. The new notes support unicode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kevin Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 BINGO! There was no extension. I even checked on the old computer and again, there was no extension. I added .acc4 and presto, it opened. THANK YOU!!! I was really hoping I would not loose my notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kevin Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Down side. It seemed to import them under the Italian Bible Translation. Is there a way to change that to an English version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markgreaves Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Can this be explained in easier to understand language please? I have just bought a Mac Mini as my iMac has reached the end of its life. I have installed Accordance on my new mac, I was hoping that simply syncing via dropbox would bring all my notes back. However that is not the case. New notes sync via dropbox, but all my older notes from years of using accordance on my imac are not syncing. Any help would be appreciated.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 You can manually copy your notes from your old iMac to the Mac mini. Are they in the Accordance Files folder on your iMac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markgreaves Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I have tried this via iCloud Drive but it doesn't seem to be working. I was trying to import, but it wouldn't work. If I double click on the accordance file, which is a .acc4 file, they open in accordance. Will they now stay in accordance ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 They should. If they don't, reach out to Tech Support, and we'll get you taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
