Hi. I am switching from one mac to another and want to move over all my stickies stuff.
Any idea where the file is and how to do this?

I'd say, copy ~/Library/Stickies Database to the new machine
|
1Ghz Powerbook
40gb/1x512mb/combo/T68i
FireRAID 1 Host Independant Hotswap RAID 1 (80gb)

It's always worked for me. What version of OS X are you using? It used to be ~/Library/.StickiesDatabase and you had to make it visible to move it.

Maybe that's the issue. I'll make it invisible!

schwachs,
Perhaps you can give further details about your attempts and subsequent failures instead of just getting sarcastic and defensive.
Moving from one system to another is a little bit different on a UNIX based system because of permissions issues. Does your new system have the same username as the old system? If not, it is possible that you don't own that file, so therefore it can't read it and use the data within. A quick chown username filename could fix this problem. (Happy to clarify if this is the case)...
When you copied the Stickies Database (from old user /Users/username/Library/ to the new users area and you said it didn't work, what happened? Did your new user open stickies and not see the old data? Did it act like a new user and database was being created if you edited it? If so, what did it call the new database, since it already had one of that name in your Library folder (because you already copied one there)...?
Please give some more info and I'm sure you can be assisted. Being short with people that are truly trying to help you is the fastest way to get no help! Seriously, isn't this just common sense? Be appreciative and polite and the world is a better place...
Peace,
JSD303

Um, I meant to be neither sarcastic or defensive and if anyone took it that way, I sincerly apologize. I copied the file again from the source and all worked well. No idea why it didn't work the first time.
Thanks all.
