So I tried restoring the database. It told me it succeeded with some warnings. However, the database was not restored, still empty; When I look at the "details" there is an extremely long list of errors in there, but I'm not sure what any of it means.

I should also note that the operation completed within seconds which surprised me because I expected it would take awhile to rebuild the database?

Is there any way I can get access to my calibre library on my mac? What should I try next?

Later edit: I discovered that Dropbox has changed the way they do things and they no longer automatically save your files to a computer when you install it but keep them in the cloud. I took a look at my file system and have the impression most of my files are not downloaded to my computer, but only being accessed from the cloud when I click on them. Could this be the cause of all the problems I'm having? I'm traveling and have limited internet access right now, so I won't be able to download my entire calibre library to my drive at the moment, but I will try to do this when I have the opportunity, then try reopening Calibre and will then post an update here to let you guys know if this fixes the problem.
