Hi everyone, looking for an assist?

Hello to one and all, and warmest wishes to you also. I have been tearing my hair out over a problem with Calibre that I just cannot crack and wonder whether anyone here can assist?

My problem is this... In trying to convert my existing mobi files to ePub, in order to read my books on my iPhone & iPad, some just will not convert. I had thought they should all be in mobi format, however when I looked at the offending file extensions on my Mac, it tells me they are "mobi.bc!" . Does anyone know if this is an error, or have I gone badly wrong somewhere along the way? I am sure they all sat nicely on my Kindle, but I got rid of that, thinking the conversion process of Calibre would save having to carry two or three devices around!

It also says this format ("mobi.bc!") is a Unix Executable program. My brother, in the US, put all my Kindle books onto a hard drive for me when I visited, as I thought he is more tech-savvy then I am, but he does not know what to do either!!

Can anyone assist, or have I just lost around 200 odd books?

Many thanks and warmest regards to you all.
