How to transfer Stickies database to macOS Ventura 13.2.1 from another Mac? (Can find instructions for all other MacOS versions but not for Ventura). Thanks.
MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
Thanks VikingXOS for all your help.
I think I finally managed to solve the problem.
The path for the data is, as you note, Users/user/Library/Containers/com.Apple.Stickies/Data
… but the actual file path is Users/user/Library/Containers/Stickies/Data .... I used "Go to Folder" to get there, then Library/Stickies/ and found all the rtf files there. Then transferred the rtf files to an analogous location in the other computer.

Thanks. Yes, this worked on Monterey, but can't get this to work on Ventura. I'll try to start from the beginning and all else failing, just copy paste vis a vis text document.
It would depend if that StickiesDatabase in your local Library folder is in the old digest format where stickies are all integrated in that one file, or that database is no longer in use because it was opened on Catalina or later and the Stickies application extracted the digest stickies as individually written RTF/RTFD (rich text) documents.
In the latter case, the individual stickies are written in:
/Users/yourname/Library/Containers/com.apple.Stickies/Data/Library/Stickies
On Catalina or later, place the old format StickiesDatabase file in /Users/yourname/Library folder and then run the Stickies appilcation. It will find the database and convert it as I described earlier.
Thank you for your reply. There is no StickiesDatabase. There is no "Containers" either....there is "Group Containers" but not com.apple.Stickies there.
