Hi All,
As has previously been mentioned, Gnucash 3.3 does not run at all well on
the current Mac OS (High Sierra and Mojave). My personal solution is to use
Gnucash 2.6.21 - it works well enough for me.

Further to the previous correspondence I have now made the migration but have a
problem and would be grateful for any further technical advice.
Migration from gnucash 3.3 on Windows 10 to gnucash 3.3 on MacOS HIGH Sierra

Richard,
Just to be clear, it is that easy as long as you didn’t intentionally setup a
MySQL or PostgreSQL db for GnuCash on the Win10 machine. If you just installed
the program and went with the default (or chose to save as SQLite) then it is
just a matter of copying the data file.
Regards,

Adrien,
Thanks for that reassuring advice.
Before I retired, I worked for an IT company, Unisys, and worked on many
migrations between different mainframe systems. Always there were issues
caused by different operating systems and data formats etc. We would need
the full database schema of the old

Oh yes, sorry, senile decay advancing at an ever increasing rate it
appears. Now it seems I can't even read a few words without getting

Thank you Robert, Michael, Adrien and John for taking the time and trouble
to answer and explain.
This migration would require very careful planning, testing and a backup
plan if things go wrong. I will have to think hard as to whether it is
worth risking.

Unfortunately on Windows preferences live in the registry. On Macs they live in
a Plist in ~/Library/Preferences. There are probably programs out there that
will extract from the registry and write the Plist, but I don’t know about them.

Richard,
As Robert noted, your data file should open just fine. (caveat on
double-clicking assumed)
For the preferences issue he brought up, take a look at the wiki where
preference and config file locations are stored on each operating system.
Be sure to find them on your Win10 system and

I know gnucash runs on both Macs and PCs but I cannot find anything about
the migration procedure.
I have gnucash 3.3 on Windows 10. I am considering buying an Apple iMac.
Can my files from the PC be used on the iMac easily?
Thanks
