In trying to replicate the user's problem I had all kinds of trouble. Let me answer your questions first.

  3. Has it ever worked, or is this a new install? CC installed since beta. Calibre installed for years.
  4. What connection problem does calibre 64 have? Does it display a message? I run calibre portable so I can't address this concern.
  5. Does syncing with calibre 32 ever finish? Yes (explained further)
When I connected CC it sent the metadata of all 2100 books to calibre as normal, but usually calibre only sends to CC the updated metadata, most of the time a few books. This time it insisted on sending info on all 2100 books.

When that was done I sent a book to my Nexus then disconnected. I immediately connected again this time everything went as expected. CC sent the metadata to calibre and calibre didn't send any metadata back to CC, connection in about a minute and 20 seconds (Great!).

I disconnected then restarted calibre and tried again. This time calibre insisted on sending metadata on about 1700 of the 2100 books. I tried variations of this for an hour and after each calibre restart it insisted on sending metadata back to CC in progressively lower amounts. It has now leveled out at around 600 or so books after each restart of calibre, the number isn't steady.

I have never had this problem before, but I am not ready to rule out something on my system. For the last month I have been experimenting with running calibre from a different cloud service directory. In the morning I will hopefully try again from my setup of the past couple of years.

I am working 12 hour days through Wednesday morning so I most likely won't be able to gather the debug info until then.

Until I provide you with debug info I would take my report as anecdotal and not rely on it, since there is the distinct possibility of a problem local to my setup. I just wanted to put this out there in case Madmik's problem is similar.

It will be interesting to hear more specifics from Madmik.
