Introduction
Here's how to move templates (.tpz) and inspection files (.hzf) between Mac machines using a Flash Drive.
Step 1: On your existing machine, go to the Macintosh HD (or the name of your drive), then double-click Documents.
Step 2: Find the Home Inspector Pro folder, highlight the folder, then go to Edit > Copy 1 Item.
Step 3: Put your Flash Drive into the computer. After a second, your Flash Drive will appear on the left side of the window.
Step 4: Click on the Flash Drive. Go to Edit > Paste. Your files will then be copied on onto the Flash Drive. Once this completes, remove the device from the machine and plug it into your new Mac OS X machine.
Step 5: The remainder of the process is essentially the reverse of the previous steps. Once the device is plugged in, click on the Flash Drive under the Finder window.
Step 6: Find your Home Inspector Pro folder on the Flash Drive, highlight the folder, then go to Edit > Copy 1 Item.
Step 8: Go to the Documents folder.
Step 9: Go to Edit > Paste.
Step 10: If prompted to overwrite, click Yes.
This will transfer all your desired folders from your existing installation to the new machine. You can then double-click on the Home Inspector Pro folder. Find the Home Inspector Pro program, then launch the program by double-clicking on it. This will create an alias on your Dock.
