Important Tiger to Leopard Notes!
Posted on October 26th, 2007 by .: Adam
If you’re doing a clean install from Tiger to Leopard on OS X, obviously make a backup of your current system. There’s a gotcha though. Your Address Book and iCal data have to be backed up separately! For address book, open up the app and then do an Export of all the data. For iCal, DO NOT BACKUP DATABASE! You have to individually select each category in your iCal and do an EXPORT of them to an ICS file one at a time.
Found this out the hard way… thankfully I had another mac to import my old data and export it for me. For some reason, iCal and Address Book in Leopard don’t read / can’t import the Tiger files.
