Calibre Corrupted.

Lysie · 07-05-2011, 08:55 PM

My Mac just told me that Calibre was corrupted and made me reinstall. All of my books are still on my computer (in the Calibre library) but Calibre is empty. I do not want to enter all 1745 individually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You can relink to your existing library. If the "wizard" didn't run with your new install, just run it again and point to your existing library when it asks where you want your library to be.

If by any chance it is the Calibre database that was corrupted rather than the Calibre program, then Calibre includes the ability to rebuild the database from the files stored in the Calibre library.
