diskdb file? If I were to put this in the exact location on my new system, perhaps DaVinci 16 would recognise it? I'm assuming this is the database before it's compressed into a. This may not work as I suspect the next OS is incompatible with my old 2014 imac and that is why I don't already have it.Īnother option I see is grabbing all the directory that comes up if I right click on the database in the DaVinci project manager and say 'reveal in finder'. Once my database is updated, try transferring it over to a new install of DaVinci 17 on my new system. Other options I see: Attempting to update my OS on my old imac and then updating DaVinci to 17 on that system. So first question, is there some way to set the permissions specifically for DaVinci to access these places or is this a bug? Then I tried putting the database onto my local drive in multiple places including the desktop and documents folder and I get the same error. So I went into the 'get info' for that external drive and changed the permissions (which were all set to read and write except for the 'everyone' category which I also set to yes for read and write for the moment). Please change the permissions or choose a different directory.' 'Failed to restore database because the directory does not allow read and/or write access. It asks me if I'm sure I'd like to restore, I say yes. I open DaVinci 16 and select the 'download database' icon. So I've copied all my projects and my database file onto an external hard drive and plugged it into my new mac mini. I'm not sure if it's buggy on the M1 or if there is something else gone wrong. At first I installed DaVinci 17 on it, but realised that I would probably need DaVinci 16 in order to transfer my database and my projects over, and then I could update to 17 from there. My new computer is a brand new M1 mac mini. I have not yet tried to update my OS because it doesn't seem this would be the most obvious solution or if I even can put that version on my mac. If I try to update it to version 17, it says, 'This installer requires Mac OS X 10.14.6 or later to run'

I am running DaVinci Resolve 16.0.0.060 on it. My old computer which is an imac circa 2014 (OS version 10.13.6). I am trying to get my database and projects from my old computer to my new computer.
