Thank you -- I DID get most things moved over, but I'm having one more problem. There's one more important file I need....if you'll humor me I'll give the whole pathway here starting with my external hard drive:
HD > backups.backupdb
(myname) iMac
that opens up a whole bunch of dated folders so I went to the latest one
Macintosh HD
Espionage Backups
Folder with my name
3 numbered folders in which one contains the
calendar file I need
Calendars
NOW - here's my problem. In the calendar folder there are three separate folders that say
1. this folder contains encrpyted data
2. it is controlled by Espionage
3. Do not modify it in this state
I've read the example of how to restore but I'm not getting it. It says
"Let's say our email got corrupted and we wanted to restore Apple's Mail folders ("Mail" and "Mail Downloads"). We need to replace these folders with the backed up versions.
In Espionage, use the Enabled checkbox to disable both the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders.
Look inside the numbered folders inside of the EspionageBackups folder until you find the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders. (Remember, they may appear to be empty).
Drag both folders into the Library folder, which contains the corrupt "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders, to replace them.
Back in Espionage, enable both folders using the Enabled checkbox."
I tried dragging the calendar file into the Library folder (assuming it means the main library folder on my HD?) but it says the Library can't be modified. Am I in the wrong library? If you know any way to open or restore these 3 folders, I would VERY much appreciate it, and please spell it out step by step as if I were a 3 year old --- I'm dealing with something unfamiliar AND a new computer

Thank you!!!
