Is there some way to have Calibre refresh or recognize the titles?

Thanks
@ChadG - I would have copied the old library folder (lock, stock and barrel) to new computer, and used the Switch/Create library option to tell calibre it's there, viz:

Click image for larger version

Name:	Capture.JPG
Views:	183
Size:	37.4 KB
ID:	137577

Then select all the books in the old library (or the new one if fewer books), and use the Copy to Library feature to copy the books into the other library. The Copy to Library option should be in Book List context menu, or you can add it to Main Toolbar via Preferences->Toolbars

If you can backout what you did, maybe via restoring the new library from a backup - you could do something like the above. Let us know if that's not possible, and someone will have some suggestions what to do.

BR
