I got a new mac not too long ago, I used the Migration Assistant to get everything from my Time Capsule onto the new mac. Most everything worked seamlessly.

I just opened Calibre for the first time, and it said there was a permissions problem (I think?) and it couldn't open the old library. (My username is different on the new computer.) It started a new library, which is empty. How do I find and import the old library?

Thanks,
eP
