Is this a Laptop and you are using a wired connection? Or the Router may have just dropped you when you were sending something. |
GPS - yes that I have but didn't associate it with my laptop since it's safely tucked away in my desk drawer. I agree with PeterT that's it's probably CPGS since I do have Comcast but I don't know what would have caused any problem. I didn't receive any virus warning or other notice of an issue.
Laptop with router but I have not noticed being dropped but it may have happened momentarily.

speakingtohe What I would do to track down problem.
Run check library again in case you have managed to fix the problem.
Make a new library and add several books and check library
If new library works, copy old library to a different directory switch to copied library and run check.
By copying the library you should get an error message if there is a file that is not copyable for whatever reason. Might help.
Other things but that is a start. And never hurts to have an extra backup.

I ran check library again:
"Found no errors in your calibre database. Do you want calibre to check if the files in your library match the information in the database?"
So the good news is whatever the error was it's gone. The bad news is I have extra titles and extra authors. Calibre help says:
"Delete marked is used to remove extra files/folders/covers that have no entries in the database. Check the box next to the item you want to delete. Use with caution."
It appears my only option is to delete the extra files but will I lose books doing that? I do have everything backed up (dropbox and flash drive) and it looks like they're probably all free books anyway so no great loss.
How do extra titles and authors happen? I'd like to figure out whay I was doing incorrectly to prevent this happening again.
I really apprecaite everyone's help in helping me figure this out.
