Hi GRiker. I've solved the problem with iTunes now. While Calibre was running in administrator mode, iTunes was not. I decided to run iTunes as an administrator, and I've now successfully transferred two books from Calibre to iTunes.
I don't need you to reply anymore as I now have a method to transfer my books, but if you'd like to help with a new issue, I would appreciate it.
I successfully polished all of the books in my library, then transferred some of them through the content server. While they were imported with updated metadata and covers, upon opening the book in iBooks, an error is displayed stating, "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing".
A few notes on this issue:
- Only the books that I polished are displaying this error.
- I am able to add new books which have not been polished, and no error is displayed upon opening them.
- When polishing each book, I only selected to update the metadata and covers.
- Saving these newly-polished books to the disk, then transferring them through Dropbox results in the same error when opening in iBooks.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be? If not, it is nothing to worry about, and I am satisfied with using iTunes to transfer.
EDIT: Oh dear. I hadn't realized at first, but now that I've attempted to sync some of the polished books from iTunes to the iPad, they display the aforementioned error when they are opened in iBooks. It appears that I may have another problem after all.
