calibre import problem

psman1975 · 12-10-2016, 11:00 PM

I have a brand new iMac running Sierra, and want to migrate my calibre library to it from my old Macbook Pro. I exported the library from the Macbook (calibre created a file named part0001.calibre-data) and put it on my new iMac. I then downloaded and installed the latest Mac version of calibre. I moved the exported file to a new folder, then pointed calibre to it from the Import menu. I get an error message saying that the folder is not empty. When I empty the folder, it says there is no data. Please help.

Thanks!

Import does not check for folders being empty, only export does that. So you probably accidentally clicked export instead of import.
