I have an existing Calibre library/database on a Windows 7 computer.
I would like to duplicate that Calibre library – in its entirety – on a separate Apple computer that is running OS X and Calibre.
Could someone point me to a URL, or prior thread that covers in detail the steps necessary to convert A Windows Calibre library and transfer it to an OS X [Apple Computer] from a Windows computer – which is currently running Windows 7.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this, and replying.
Sincerely,

Validate Existing Library. Right-click:Library Maintenance: Check Library
Run both phases. Fix issues
Copy the Library
folder (Calibre Not Running), not just the contents.
<assumes Calibre for a MAC installed>
Paste the folder into a
new (not inside the 'Calibre Library folder' ) location on the MAC
The next steps are important to validate integrity. Do nothing else with
this Calibre Library until completed.
Start Calibre (on the MAC
)
1) Right-click the Library Icon: Switch/ Create: Use Existing: <navigate to your copied library>.
If this is successful you should see books
2)
Validate the new MAC Library to be sure all things made it without errors.
You are good to go
