Last updated: 08 Aug, 2018

If you are not restoring the whole of your time machine image, the following instructions should help you get up and running on a New Mac.

  • Download and install TaxCalc on your new Mac, the instructions at How to install the Mac version of TaxCalc will help
  • Start it for the first time
  • Follow the setup but just click through the stages do not personalise it as this will get overwritten
  • You now have a blank database
  • Close TaxCalc
  • Go to Finder, then at the top of the screen click Go > Go to folder
  • Enter ~/library and click Go Please Note: The tilde (~) is important
  • Browse to Application Support > Acorah Software Products >TaxCalcHub
  • Rename hub.sqlite as hub.sqliteBLANK
  • On the time machine backup search for the hub.sqlite file and move it into the same location as the now renamed hub.sqliteOLD
  • You now have a hub.sqlite and a hub.sqliteBLANK in the same folder – the blank one will be ignored from now on
  • Start TaxCalc and you should now be able to see your data
