This is going to sound a bit odd, but it may give somebody a clue how to fix the problem. None of my three Macs would talk to my Kobo Glo, so I took to using the wireless connection. It's very slow and laborious, but it got my by for a while.
A few days ago I installed something called 'Mamp'; it's free, and it's for local development of a web site. Today I fired up Calibre (or calibre) while I had the Kobo plugged in to charge. The toolbar changed, and showed an icon of the Kobo. Connected!
But. I sent a couple of books to the reader and got a popup box that said 'calibre, version 3.40.0
WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details
Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.
Device database version: 149.
Device firmware version: (4, 13, 12638)'
So the books are there, but the shelf information I'd added in Calibre isn't.
Dare I downgrade the firmware on the Kobo?
But I hope the Mamp thing can give somebody else a clue about a proper solution.
Happy reading,
Ol.
