When I was on windows, I just copied all the folders (audio, sets, librairy, plugins etc)into the exactly same locations. It worked perfect.
If not you can create a new folder, and resave in it all your sets, as self-contained.

Hello,
If you want to transfer projects, use the "collect all and save" function from the file menu.

Re: transferring project to second computer
thank you all, thing is Christian ive done that but cant find the file in which it is all saved. ive tried looking through "finder" (mac search engine) and looked through the ableton folder's themselves and still cant find it. Im usually quite good with things like this but I seem to be going in circles.kleine wrote:Hello,

That's why I recommended you to save them in a new folder. My bet is you've overwrtitten them in their original projects folders. Check their size and contents.
