In my quest (move from 19 to 22)

In my quest to upgrade to TRS 22PE I am stuck with finding the data file
When I type in my data file (I am on a Mac) nothing happens.
It seems I have missed something.
I was hoping the move from 19 to 22 might be as simple as moving from TANE to 19 but it seems not.
Any help will be amazingly appreciated.
 
A few (somewhat obvious) questions not covered in your post above. Hopefully these will clarify the situation.
upgrade to TRS 22PE
Did you buy the upgrade? Some users have assumed that the upgrade from TRS19 to TRS22 was automatic.
Did you buy it from the Trainz Store or Steam?
I am stuck with finding the data file
Are you attempting to access TRS22 via MyTrainz (link is above) and My Digital Downloads?

Have you put in a Support Ticket (link above)? The staff at N3V are better at sorting out these problems that us users.
 
I am not sure if you found your Trainz data folder or not within your Mac finder. If that is the case..
In Finder..Go to - /Users/**Your Acct Name**/Library/Containers/com.n3vgames.trs22/Data/
If you can't see Library Folder it is because it is hidden on Macs by default... Use CMD/Shift/. and everything will be unhidden.
You must follow the path I have listed above and not try the Library Folder in the Root menu as it won't work. Hope that helps.
 
1. i own both TRS 19 PE and TRS 22 PE bought seperatly
2. Some time ago while working with my computer that only had 500gb SSL, I moved the data folder to an external,hard drive and i am using that file.
Thi is the date file of the TRS 19 PE bought on the Trainz store
I think I used My Trainz

Are you wanting to transfer your Data file from 19 PE into TRS 22 PE or run them separate with a Data file for each? I think I understand your dilemma but not totally sure.
 
Make 2 back ups of each 19PE and 22PE Data Folder. You can never have enough backups and I would place each set in 2 different locations.

Open Trainz 22PE and put in the path to the 19PE Data folder you were using. Start and make 22PE now sees your 19PE Data and all is well. Double check everything twice, if needed.
If something doesn't go right you have the original folder and 2 backups to fall back on.
***I would caution you about trying to open Trainz 19PE afterwords, as this will surely mess up your database and probably make it unrecoverable.***

Matter of fact, since you want to use only 22PE with the 19PE data folder you have now, you might think about deleting Trainz 19PE from your computer entirely BUT only once you have 22PE up and running with all your old data intact. I cannot say this enough, if you open and try to use 19PE once you put your Data folder into 22PE and have it running they will each point to the same data folder and your database may become recoverable.

Yes, you can change Data Folder paths/names in both Trainz Settings and Finder and both 19PE and 22PE can work. This is why I asked if you wanted separate installs or just 19PE data into just 22PE. The info above is not for making both work together.
Hope I didn't confuse, its a really simple process, but I would never like it if I didn't point out certain things and anyone lost everything, either Trainz related or even their computer.
