Should the data bases not be the same?

I can find to ryme or reason for this. Same files.. coppied the folder.. so now what


I found I hope you dance.. same version but is number like 31802 or something

some files are in the right spots like ol red 8813 and picture 10403.. but what happen to others?

How did you rebuild the database on the 2nd laptop? Add or Rebuild?
If you used Add it may have changed the numbers.
If so try deleting all the KMA files, delete the Songs.mdb and Songs_backup.mdb files and re-copying the KMA files from the original again and open Hoster again. That should trigger it to rebuild the database again and fix it. If it doesn't automatically rebuild then use the Tools Rebuild and do it.

I believe I did add. then i deleted the db and tried rebuild.. and got same result both times

[gotrich]

it also says i have duplicate files. the duplicates are the songs that took over. How do I fix duplicate files. I looked at the manual but am confused

Once has changed the kma header, it is a permanant change, rebuilding won't change it back. Like Dale said you need to delete the kma's and the db. Bring in the kma's from your other computer again and rebuild the database. The duplicate diskid thing may go away at this point at well.

I don't understand!

REBUILD at this point will only reflect the changes to the kma header that occured when you used ADD. The only way to undo this is to delete the changed kma's and bring in fresh copies of kma's from your other computer and use "Build Database" instead of add.

Not sure why using ADD caused this problem in the first place unless there's some issue with using it when no database exists for it to add to in the first place.

The reason you got the same results is because the KMA headers had already been changed the first time.
That is why you need to delete all of the KMA files and the dB files and re-copy the KMA files from the original computer.
