Transferring old files to a new computer

Post by Alexmhv » Sun Jan 08, 2012 11:53 pm

I recently purchased a new computer Windows 7 Home Premium. But when I tried transferring Audacity and old files from audacity that were on my old computer using sans disk cruzer it says the specified path does not exist. How do I get my old files on my new computer?

Please see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Auda ... jects#move

Your projects probably reference external files. You need to copy those in to the project before you move it to the new computer.

Did you move the _data folders along with the .aup files?
