Problem with personal books

I have about 30 personal books saved in Logos from Learnlogos. I have just downloaded Logos 7 ( yes it is fully downloaded and indexed). I can not open any of them, it indicates you do not have a license to view this resource. If I look under editing the personal book #2 has a triangular warning indicating file not found.

I haven't actually opened up a personal book in a while and this may have been prior to downloading Logos 7, as I do recall the Spurgeon sermon index that Mark Barnes created which I downloaded as a personal book has not been opening for a while as well. So this could be for a while.

Any suggestions

This indicates that you built the personal book on another computer, but haven't compiled it on this one (or uploaded it to the servers). The metadata (author, title, etc.) sync automatically, but the compiled file does not.

Ok could be, but I am surprised I had created all the personal books on my main computer. I also have my office computer which I was almost positive I had created a few personal books on this as well and the same problem. But lets assume that is correct is there a quick fix?

On the computer where the book shows, click "upload"

If they weren't uploaded as mentioned above, and you had to perform a fresh installation of Logos, then you will lose compiled personal books.

Some of us, back in the old days, sync'd PB's among computers using Dropbox or some other kind of drive.Then you can copy/scan them back into Logos again.

You don't have to do that now that we can upload, but at least back up your compiled personal books somewhere. They are the books ending with the lbspbb extension. I have the same PB's on 3 computers and consider that backed up well enough. Logos will have any books backed up that you have uploaded. Be aware that some very large books may not upload at all.

Last resort is to recompile them--and hope you have the originals.

Thanks NB, so I was lucky and my new logos 7 download was on a brand new computer. I went back to the old computer and uploaded all personal books. Was able to open all of them on all computers now. However I still have a yellow triangular warning in all my personal books under 2. Add body files.(it indicates File not found). In the one I am looking at the file is PersonalBookFile-Hell.docx. I don't see any problems,seems to be working fine. I did hit Build book to see if it disappears and it doesn't.

In no case does the .docx file sync. Either you still have the file in the same location path on the computer you first compiled the book, or you will get the yellow triangle. If you moved the file, you will need to navigate to the new location path.

Is it time for PBB to have its own forum section???

I would have thought, the Files forum is the forum section for PBs

Not for PBB files but for PBB problems! [and advice on how to use them. Perhaps hits and helps. All in one spot.]

There isn't a need. A specialized forum would really mean that users wouldn't get the help they need. The biggest issue is that users should be directed to the right forum. Currently that is either L6 or L7.
