Hi. I'm having some trouble syncing Custom Columns. I have all four columns mapped, and this worked fine some time ago. The most recent Last Read date is 7th Feb 2017, but I've done a lot of reading since then.
The Aura One is up to date. Calibre 3.27.1 (64 bit). Kobo Utilities 2.6.0. Would appreciate some pointers figuring out what's gone wrong. Thanks! |

The most likely problem is either the second or third of the above. If all these are OK, run calibre in debug mode and post the log when you connect the device. I'll look at it and can usually see what is happening. |

1) Yup, I have all of the Kobo and KePub plug-ins installed, up-to-date and enabled 2) All set up. Columns: Config: 3) Yes. It's also the only device there. 4) Yes, that worked! Here are the jobs that are running. Which job does this bookmark store come under? |

All the rest looks good. On the device page of the configuration, does the Aura ONE have the icon to show it is connected? If not, this means the plugin thinks it is a different device. This is based on an id in the file driveinfo.calibre. If this is removed at some point, calibre, and the plugin, sees the device as a different one. The "Add connected device" button should be enabled. Click that and add it. Then delete the existing one and make sure the device is selected on the first page.
Or, for simplicity, and if this is your only Kobo device, use the "Any device" option on the first page. That should solve it. Quote:

Hi there,
I'm having a problem which I believe is caused by the Kobo Utilities "backup device database" function. (Not every single time, unfortunately, which is why it's been hard to track down, but pretty often.) I have the option set to make a backup each time I connect. However, what is happening is that as soon as this starts, the Kobo somehow gets unmounted. It disappears from my desktop, the backup job fails, and I get a system error saying the disk wasn't ejected properly (and the Kobo screen stays on "connected and charging"). If I unplug it, the Kobo itself seems fine, though often it won't mount at all if I plug it in again, and I have to restart the computer, or even reset the SMC to get it back again. If I disable the "backup on each connection" then Calibre has no problem accessing my Kobo, adding/removing books, downloading annotations. But then as soon as I re-enable that option and it tries to make a backup, the same problem occurs. I'm on Mac OS 10.13.6, with the latest versions of Calibre (3.28) and Kobo Utilities (2.6.0). My Kobo is an Aura Edition 2, running software version 4.9.11311 (6/28/2018). But this problem has occurred on the previous version of all of these as well. Any ideas? Or other information I could provide? Thank you! Tandava |

For what is happening to you, I can't think of a reason. The backup is done by using the OS to copy the database file to the local drive. Unless that is somehow stressing the USB connection in a way that means the OS drops it. If that is the cause, you could try manually copying the database when calibre isn't connected. If the device connection is dropped, then there is a problem with the connection. A different cable might fix something like that. Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. My Mac knowledge is pretty minimal. There have been some reports of problems connecting the newer devices with Macs in the Kobo forum. But, there haven't been consistent reasons or fixes. Looking at those reports might give you an idea. |

I did at first assume it was a hardware issue. But changing cables didn't help, and I use other devices on the same USB ports without a problem. I don't have another Kobo to test swapping that out, unfortunately. Eventually I realized that it always happened when Calibre was trying to backup the database and never any other time.
Just now I did a manual copy of the database file to my desktop, and that worked without a hitch. But then I had Calibre do a backup and that also worked, so I guess it wasn't a good comparison. I feel like the problem occurs maybe 75% of the time, though, so I'll see if I can figure out anything else next time. And I'll look up those other reports of Mac connection problems. Thanks for the tip. -Tandava |

I've also had problems with the kobo randomly disconnecting. For me, it does this also when calibre is transferring a large handful of books to the device.
I narrowed it down to either a flaky USB port or a bad usb cable (or both). I switched cables and switched to the USB port in the back of my computer instead of the one on the case and the problem has gone away. The kobo seems more sensitive to this than other devices. |

Dear David,
I am new to this forum, but I am a very happy user of Calibre. I try to get the books from my KoboDesktop on iMac into Calibre. I installed KoboUtilities. Is there a way to do this ? many thanks Ernest |

I think you should go to apprentice alf blog to ask for this, not here, and perhaps search obok. This plugin is not useful for exporting from Kobo Desktop to calibre.

Hi,
what can the Kobo utilities plugin do for the new Kobo home screen in terms of organization (dismissing, adding…). Thank you. |

The top line can be affected by changing the reading status of the books, but, it changes again as soon as you open or finish another book. |
