I received the following from the developers of Contactizer Pro, which utilizes Address Book and iCal:
No this is not possible.
Copying the data yourself, in the case of the AddressBook database leads to many problems. Apple has really f****** up everything with the migration path.
My last resort is trying to migrate the info via MobileMe, which I am using as a trial right now. All of the necessary info is on my 1st. generation iPhone and I have setup both the latest version of iTunes, as well as upgraded to firmware 2.1. BUT, the big "gotcha" is that whether I try to sync with iTunes or by setting up my MobileMe account on my iPhone, I get warned that all info on my iPhone will be written over. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to sync MobileMe using my iPhone as the dominant device.
Any other ideas?
Did you
Check the owner and permissions on the files you moved. You might need to adjust them.
as I suggested in yesterday's reply?
Time and again, I have transferred Mail, Address Book, iCal,
iTunes, and iPhoto files from Mac to Mac - never had a problem beyond
needing to adjust ownerships and permissions to match the new owner (a
chown then a few chmod commands). Those apps are even smart
enough to smell their previous version's data set-up, and
automatically convert!
So now you're throwing another app into the fray, something
called "Contactizer Pro" -- that you didn't bother to
mention in your original post!?
At this point, I have no idea what you're trying to do, why you
had to "move the bits and pieces I needed by hand" (from
your OP), or what you have done to your data to cause things to
break. Maybe you should just blow away what you have for those
apps in your Leopard system and pull everything back in from your
backup...
