Connect to itunes for Calibre doesn't work anymore
Or that's what i'm assuming because the send to device doesn't appear and if I right click on a book and do send to device all my options are greyed out.
I've got windows 7 ultimate itunes 10.5.3.3 and 0.8.36 for clibre any ideas what happened? granted i hadn't added any books in a couple of months so i have no idea why connect to itunes doesn't work |

Are your devices all on the same network?
I've had issues too, my Sony works fine, my iPhone doesnt, regardless of which app I use. Cant work it out, been given a gazillion ways to sort it and nothing works so I do sideloading only, these days. |

I've noticed that it's become hit or miss as to whether Windows starts the required services correctly - or at all! You can force Windows to activate the services which fixes the problem. Whether it's a Windows or an iOS fault I'm not sure, but I suspect Windows as my elderly iPhone and much newer iPod Touch use different iOS versions.

iTunes is trash on windows, it's very common for the itunes services to crash as I've no other services on my PC that crash it's definitely solely an Apple feature. I also wouldn't put it past Apple to purposely block Calibre.

That seems unlikely given that many people have zero issues. I am not one, however.

Just for the record Bonjour crashes on my system anytime my net disconnects for even an instant and I've nothing else on my system that ever crashes. I honestly think Apple are terrible at software, tried safari once and it crashed every five minutes as well. |

Yeah that's likely over 100 services on my windows pc and none of them ever crash except Apples so it must be my pc has a problem and not Apple being lousy at software. I'm sure on OSX it's different matter but on Windows iTunes is the most shoddily programmed piece of trash I've ever seen.
And you can't claim I'm bias as the only reason I have iTunes at all is I have a 64gb iPod Touch. edit: I don't want to come across as a jerk but that's my honest experience with Apple software and I've had the same issues trying on my laptop as my main PC so it definitely isn't as uncommon as you would like to think.

I have friends on PCs who have experienced NO problems with itunes except that they hate it, and use it only for the same reason you do... no crashing of anything. I have a netbook running Windows 7 starter. No problems. Go and post in discussions. No point complaining in here, where clearly there is no solution. |
