Merging/importing a library from a non-Mac to a Mac with empty en file

EndNote EndNote How To
1

I am trying to import an old library from an old laptop (Endnote X7) and merge it with my new library on my Mac (Endnote X7). FOr the old library I have the endnotelibrary.data fodler (containing sub folders of PDF, RDB and trash folder containing trash.data) but the corresponding library.enl file is empty. WHen I open the trash data file it only contains 19 references whereas I know the library contained hundreds of (as evidenced by the PDFs that are still in the folder). 

I don’t want to have to re-enter all the citation data again for each PDFs, whcih I assume I can easily import.

Any suggestioons please as hours went into compiling this library.
