silly, yes. i have a few things on my old t/t that i would love to keep on my tx but can't figure out how to get them over there.

1. handyshopper databases. i dl'd handyshopper (so i'd have clean start) but don't want to recreate my lists again by hand.

2. bubblet scores. ok, ok, ok, i'm totally addicted. and i had amazing high scores. can i transfer them over???

thanks..

You'll need someone else to help you with Bubblet, but HandyShopper's easy. If your T/T is still running, you can beam (IR) databases to your TX from within HandyShopper on the T/T. If not (or maybe even easier), your databases are in your T/T "Backup" folder (you did save your old Backup folder, didn't you?). Just load them up with Quick Install, and Hotsync.

BTW, I would consider your question definitely On Topic.

You can use the program Filez to locate the file containing the bubblet scores and from within Filez beam it to the TX.

I agree, very much on topic. As for the bubblet scores, look for an application database, which could store these scores. It may have a name similar to the program, and it will probably have the same creator id, which can help you find it if you are familiar with file managers.

lol brilliant. well, i don't know yet if it worked on bubblet because it claims my trial period expired and i can't find the registration # so i'm going to spend $12 again and be happy that this game made me happy for so many hours on the nyc subway system and in various waiting scenarios!!! (actually, i like the lower resolution version that i used on my t/t much better but i searched and it is impossible to find. the high res is somewhat freaky.)

HOWEVER, the suggestion by jfreak above was also great...i beamed filez to my old t/t, then i found the handyshopper files (i compared program size so i knew that the smaller file was the database) and then i beamed it over to my new t/x and VOILA! my lists are all there.

so to the jedi master and the jesusfreak...thanks from the nice jewish girl in new york! <eg>

(i promise to help someone else one of these days too!)
