How can I Transfer Dashboard Information from one computer to another?
Solution 1:
All of the preferences/info from Apple supplied Dashboard widgets resides in ~/Library/Preferences
. Do a search for anything beginning with widget-com.apple.widget
- those are all your widgets.
For stickies specifically, copy widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist
to the ~/Library/Preferences
folder in your new machine, and you'll be all set.
Solution 2:
Why not just use the User Migration Assistant? It will transfer everything over from your account on the old machine.
One bit of advice: If your account name on the old machine is the same as your account name on the new machine, it may not transfer. I'd recommend creating and logging on to a temporary administrator account (in System Preferences -> Accounts), rename your account on the new machine if necessary, and run the user migration assistant from the temporary admin account.
