I transferred all my data from the iMac to the MacBook Air, but GnuCash will not open on the new computer.  How do I install an updated version  GnuCash on the MacBook Air and have it use all my old data?

This may not be a gnucash question.

On your old computer, you both had Apple software that comes already 
installed on MacBook Air AND software that you installed from elsewhere. 
Your new MacBook Air will have just the Apple software that comes with 
it. If you want to continue the other apps that you were using on the 
old computer you will have to install them.

You said that you transferred all your DATA from the old computer to the 
new one. you will also have to install software.

Once you have done (installed gnucash) you can open gnucash. If it 
doesn't find your old data (something changed in the path) you will use 
file=>open to select your old data (in its new location). Gnucash will 
then remember that as "last used".
