How do I move my PocketBible books from main memory to a SD or CF (storage) card?
If you originally installed your PocketBible book files to main memory and now want to move them to a storage location, use the following procedure:
- Exit all applications on your handheld and then do a soft reset.
- Connect your mobile device to your PC so that Microsoft ActiveSync shows Connected.
- In ActiveSync, click the Explore button at the top.
- Double-click My Pocket PC (or Mobile Device).
- Double-click your Storage Card folder (it may say SD Card or CF Card).
- Double-click the My Documents folder. If you do not see a My Documents folder on your storage card, you need to create one. Select File, New Folder to create the folder.
- Create a Laridian Books folder. Select File, New Folder to create the folder.
- Click the Back button until you get back to My Pocket PC (or Mobile Device).
- Double-click My Documents and then Laridian Books. This is where the books are located when installing to main memory.
- Select the LBK (PocketBible books) and LDR (DailyReader books) files that you wish to move to the storage card by holding down your Ctrl key and clicking the files with your mouse.
- Click Edit (at the top of Explore) and Cut. You won't see anything happen yet.
- Click the Back button until you get back to My Pocket PC (or Mobile Device).
- Double-click your Storage Card folder (it may say SD Card or CF Card).
- Double-click the My Documents folder.
- Double-click the Laridian Books folder.
- Click Edit and Paste. The files will start copying to the new location.
NOTE: If your device includes File Explorer, you can perform these operations directly on the device, rather than using ActiveSync. Another option is to delete the LBK and LDR books from the Laridian Books folder in main memory and then reinstall the files to the storage card location. After Moving the Book(s): If you have a Pocket PC or Palm-size PC, PocketBible will automatically find the books on the storage card. No other steps are necessary. However, if you have a Handheld PC model, it will be necessary to "open" the book from its new location. When DailyReader is started, you may receive error messages stating that a file has been moved. You can tap through the error messages and then open the book in its new location. You may also need to change the location of the default Bible in DailyReader. To do this, tap View, Options, and Bible. Select Browse and then select your preferred Bible.
