All will work fine.
My primary 'calibre' system runs Win7-32, but I keep the program and libraries synced to a Win-64 system where it occasionally runs. I've also copied the program and libraries over to Win-XP, and copied the libraries over to both linux and mac installs. Calibre is delightfully successful cross-platform. |

64-bit Windows since Vista has been very good at running 32-bit apps (in fact, I'm unaware of any 32-bit apps that don't run on win7 64-bit). This is a change from the Windows XP days, where the 64-bit version of the OS was quite broken and incompatible. As such, calibre runs just fine on 64-bit Windows 7. In fact, aside from an old Atom netbook, I've never installed 32-bit Windows 7 on any machine
![]() As a side note, most apps you run on Windows will either be 32-bit or CPU-agnostic. For example, every web browser you use will be 32-bit even on 64-bit Windows (IE and Firefox technically have 64-bit versions, but nobody uses them). This is because many popular plugins like Flash don't provide 64-bit versions. Want to see what I mean? On a 64-bit Windows 7 machine, search for "Internet Explorer (64-bit)" in the start menu (it should come up after typing "internet e" and run it, then navigate to a flash-using site like youtube. Boom! Warnings everywhere because no flash! Now start "Internet Explorer" instead (no "(32-bit)" tag at the end of it) and do the same, and everything will just work (assuming you've installed flash, of course). What's the point of this little exercise? To show that 32-bit apps run just fine in 64-bit Windows, of course. |

OK, I have Calibre installed on an external (MAC formatted) disk on an OS 10.7 server. I try to install it on my 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. When I designate the library to be the one on the MAC's external drive, Calibre hangs until I kill it with the task manager. Any ideas?
It's more convenient to add stuff to the library from the laptop, but I don't want the external drive hanging around in the living room (besides I use it for backups and such of the server). TIA, - Ed |

Hi to all
I'm trying to connect to my calibre ebook collection starting the content server. Everything work fine until I try to download a book, when I do that the message is "download fail". I installed Calibre on Ubuntu and the connection was done on my Android tablet. If I connect from my tablet download is impossible, if I connect on my pc (using a browser) it works. Some one know how to solve this "problem"? By Ippop sorry I posted in a wrong place... sorry TnX to "theducks" (see under) I solved my problem ![]() Last edited by ippopom; 12-31-2011 at 04:09 AM. Reason: solved |
