*Help Help Please*

So I had to wipe my computer(MAC) completely due to an internal issue.  I backed my wallet.dat file up to a hard drive.  Can someone please help a noob of all noobs with getting my wallet migrated onto the newly downloaded wallet.  I looked at a couple vids but I haven't found one that can help me.

Thanks Smiley

Sure, first, start the wallet and let it sync up. This way you won't freak out when you see a zero balance (It has to load the blockchain before it can determine your balances Smiley )

Next, exit your wallet

Then, go to this directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Dash/  (it might be dash, I don't own a mac) and replace your saved wallet.dat file with the wallet.dat files you find in there.  BTW, if you gave it a different name when you saved it (often a good idea so it isn't lost in the confusion) rename it to wallet.dat when you're ready to use it.  Always keep a copy (or two or three) of your wallet.dat file for safe keeping Smiley )

Then start the wallet back up
