Complete loss of data

Greetings book and device lovers. I'll try to keep this short and can go into more detail if necessary at a later time. I use Calibre (version is not displayed) with a MacBook Pro and OS X 10.8.5. In the past, when I would download the newest versions, I'd often lose my Calibre data. I had read somewhere that this is sometimes caused when installing new versions. So I stopped going for the versions that offered minor fixes. I think it's been four versions since I last downloaded any new versions (the current offering is 1.13.0) That's a sketch of the history behind the current issue. All operations have been great since I stopped upgrading with every new version. I last used the software two days ago to read a weekly newspaper I receive. This evening I opened Calibre and much to my dismay all of the home page information was wiped clean with -zeros- galore. I don't keep a large number of items in my Calibre library - I had maybe 45-50 titles and several that were next on my list to read. I'm anxious to get to the root of the problem especially given my memory for what I want to read next is not the sharpest in town. So any would be greatly appreciated. I offer this caveat: I am not the most savvy computer user and a very slow tech learner. I did not grow up with all of these great new items - in fact FDR was president when I was born, AM radio was considered top entertainment, and pickles really did cost a nickel. I hope you, kind reader, can understand from whence I come. Thank you in advance. HenrysAxe
