transfering library
Hi everyone,
I need to transfer my whole library to my second laptop since my netbook will go in service tomorrow. I copied my Library on a USB Stick, I installed calibre on my second laptop (0.6.32) but calibre does not accept the library location, it only wants to install the books under the Program Files, which I don't want. plus I have approx. 2300 books, some (not many) with as much as 3 different formats. Is there a way to transfer the whole library at once, or do I really need to transfer each book on its own? I am lost right now... . I used the search function with the word "transferring" (with one and with 2 r), but could not find what I want. |

What does "does not accept the new location" mean exactly? See http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...ter-to-another

If I try to import the Library I get following error details:

Try putting it on a location in the new harddrive rather than on a USB stick and make sure the permissions are correct on the metadata.db file.

It is not on a USB disk, it is is on the PC Harddisk...How do i check the permissions on the metadata.db file ?
Edited: it works now. I closed and open Calibre again, and this time it showed all books. Thanks !!!! Last edited by aceflor; 01-05-2010 at 01:40 PM. |
