I require some assistance. My Kobo GloHD refuses to accept book transfers whether by ADE/Calibre or manually. Half the time it doesn't even show up in Windows Exploder. Updated to Nov 2021 - no change.

Have done hard reset 2 times - no change. Factory reset 2 times - no change.

Can someone please assist by providing an image file.

@cbeaver: You need to enable Private Messaging. This is in the "Edit Options" of the control panel. If this isn't there, it has to be added somehow. You can try posting in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=319819 to ask it to be enabled, or contact a moderator.

But, unless the SD card is failing, it is unlikely that the image will help. The computer not seeing the device could be the computer or a failing USB port on the device. Or cable. Otherwise, there is nothing in the image that would not have come from doing a factory reset.

I have enabled everything and requested a mod to permit PMs. In the meantime, just to let you know that two computers both respond to the GloHD in the same way - initially "see" it, but file transfers don't work.

I will try a new micro sd card and see if that help. Will advise.

I have problems with my Glo HD and my normal laptop. It connects, but, while calibre is getting the list of books from it, it disconnects. But, it works perfectly with an older laptop. And all the my other ereaders work perfectly with both.

David:

Have installed the image on a new 4GB card. Installed it and booted. Refused to complete the update. Removed card and copied the update files directly. It booted correctly and updated itself.

Booted. and tried directly copying a book to it. Worked.

Tried copying 5 other books using ADE. Worked.

Tried copying 5 other books using Calibre. Failed and computer crashed.

Reinstalled Calibre. Same same.

I don't use Calibre much except to convert files, so I can live with that. Thank you very much for your assistance.

First, a thank you to David for tweaking my addled brain to a possible solution to my file/book transfer issues . Both the problem and the solution lay with David's comment about issues with a the "modern" computer.

Yes, the micro SD card had some issues and needed replacement, having corrupted a part of the GloHD's operating system. But even after that, transferring more than 4 books at a time using Calibre would result in the Kobo refusing files and locking the file transfer.

Solution? First tried booting in safe mode. No different. Turned off the anti-virus and everything worked perfectly! Guess the AV (Kaspersky in my case) doesn't like the non-Windows file system on the reader's micro SD card.

Thank you again,David. I was ready to throw the Kobo out.

Should have added........

What helped pinpoint the issue was that I also finally remembered that I had moved from eSet to Kaspersky last week.......
