Post How to move entire Indigo setup to another mac?
Hi,
I have the Indigo 5 pro setup on iMac Leopard 10.5.8. I have done MANY custom settings in Indigo over the last few years, and even have some things in Indigo running applescripts. (thanks to Matt and Jay's patience with me....LOL)
Well, now I have to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (10.6.3)(I don't need Lion or Mt. Lion), due to some other programs not working with Leopard. I need a way to move the entire Setup of Indigo, with all the custom stuff, to the new Snow Leopard installation. I did see the article with the how to link for doing this with Indigo 4, but will that move all the applescripts and settings that I currently have running? I wouldn't even begin to know how to get this all set back up the way it is working now. I have Indigo sending commands to an IR device, for components, sending triggers to Elk devices, security cams, security spy (w/applescripts) and to the alarm speaker. It all works quite well from Indigo the way it is all setup, so I really need it to move the way it is now.
Here is the link that I did find, will doing it this way move everything including applescripts and settings? If there are any other things I need to know, please advise! Thanks in advance.

Copy over this folder from the old Mac to the new Mac:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/

Then rerun the Indigo 4 installer on the new Mac. That should pretty much be it. Anything that doesn't work after that can be handled case-by-case. One thing that may be an issue - if you have any actions that execute an external AppleScript may require that you reselect the file once you get over to the new Mac.

Thanks Jay,
I'll be giving it a try in a day or two. I know it would all work if I could just upgrade the existing Leopard to Snow Leopard, but I have to do a "clean" install of Snow Leopard.
I'll post back if I have any problems. Thanks again!

I tried this but keep getting a message that the server can only be started by an administrator. I am logged in as administrator and don't know what to do to fix this.

Try these steps:

1) Rename this folder:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/

to:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4 - old/

2) Re-run the Indigo installer.

3) Move over your database file from:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4 - old/Databases/

to the new Databases folder:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/Databases/

4) Launch Indigo.
