Moving Images and Catalogs from Sierra Mac Pro Mid 2012 to Mac Mini M1
Using the trial version of 21 since I've heard about the issues.
I'm trying to get my catalog transferred from one machine to another, from an internal drive to an external to use on the Mac Mini. Granted that this is a trial version that I want to make sure that it works first. If not, I'll get Ver 20.
NONE of my most recent images are showing up. And I can't even open up CP11 on the old machine to see what's happening because the catalogs are being used. They're not because I shut off the other CP21. And I really need to be able to access them.
Also, I want to move this off the main drive to one of my externals...help! When it starting importing, it went by default to a folder that I can't locate on my main drive. I don't see a way to move it within the software preferences....
Yes I tried to deactivate the software on both systems, and it didn't work.
Thanks!

I've crashed now. On a brand new Mac Mini with 2TB of internal space and I cannot find where the cat went to so that I can move everything. Also I don't see a way to uninstall the software.

If the catalog really is being used already, Capture One creates a small file called writelock which prevents it being opened twice. When the catalog is closed, the writelock file should be automatically deleted, but if for some reason it doesn't close as it should (perhaps because of a crash) the writelock file may still be there. You can delete it manually and then you should be OK.
In Finder, right-click the .cocatalog file and choose "Show package contents". You should see something like this.
Delete the writelock file.

Thank you Ian! I'll see if I can do this.
However I still can't see where everything ended up....so that I can move them over to a larger drive. It's not letting see where the images are.
