Steam – How to transfer Steam game save files from one Mac to another

macossteam

I got a game in Steam, and because my computer was a little slow in terms of graphics, I bought a new top specked iMac to play the game. I took a backup of the old game and brought it over to the new computer, but should I not have installed the game on the new one first?

I am unable to move the game I have played (I have played for 24 hours) on the old computer, and when I start on the new one I am back to the start of the game.

How can I continue from the old game save?

This process is very, very game-specific, as @Communisty mentioned in the comment section. There are a lot guides on moving and creating backups of game savefiles. The best way to get started is to search <game name> save location and copy saves from that location on your old Mac and then paste to that location on the new one.
