Where are you getting your IP? Make sure you are using your Mac IP and not your router IP. On your Mac go to to "System Prefs" then "Network." Click on your WiFi connection and the panel will show your address up toward the top just under "Status: Connected"
I only mention this because when I do a "whatismyip" on the web it reports back something completely wrong. Not sure what ip it is reporting, but in certainly is not my Mac (router maybe?) |

whatismyip gives your external ip address (what the internet sees when it looks at you), not your ip address on your home network, which is usually 192.168.1.x. Home routers tend to be 192.168.1.1.

So here's the thing. I am on the right network and I do have the right IP address. I've tried switching ports but calibre will not work on anything but 8080. I've checked my router for any firewall incursions, there are none. I am not running a firewall on my mac. I *was* running Littlesnitch but am not whilst trying to do this. I dont have any other security software running. I've switched LittleSnitch on again and added rules pertaining to Calibre... still nothing (nor any indication that anything is even trying to connect). Back to my security settings... there *must* be something there. But if not... I am *completely* bamboozled. |

Anyway... I have completely failed to do anything useful. I turned on the firewall and added a rule that said calibre can accept incoming connections. I turned on web sharing for the address as it is... no response. the phone cannot connect to the computer. I give up. I think I'll just stick all my books on the web, and connect there to get them, or sideload as I have been doing. |

I just manually created another connection and I had to have /stanza on the end of the address for it to work. (Remember, I'm connecting with MegaReader. Why does the address require "/stanza"??? I looked at Calibre docs and the simply give the device name:8080. So, to summarize: my computer device name is: greg-schnecks-iMac (given in the Sharing control panel) To make a manual connection with MegaReader (and its default connection too) I have to use: localhostname:8080/stanza I did this and I had a 2nd calibre catalogs... Willl someone explain the "stanza" part of this? It seems to be part of the Calibre server addressing....???? Last edited by 1611mac; 10-31-2011 at 11:49 AM. |

Thats because Stanza started a movement (ok, an exaggeration) but at the time stanza was the only iphone app recognised by calibre (if you run the welcome script in calibre again and choose your iphone, you will note that it says iphone + stanza)

as info.. Likewise an ip address also works but it requires the /stanza also:
http:10.0.1.2:8080/stanza is that the format you are using? |

Interestingly it is currently connected to my 3GS... but still, I cant access the library. arghhhhhhhhh. This is the itunes thing. How do I disable that? I'm thinking thats what the problem is, it connects to itunes and I just want it to let me get the library. |

It has to be a setting somewhere. I am deleting calibre (not the library) and starting over, and when it asks me if I want to connect to itunes I'll tell it no, and see how that goes. I suppose, if push comes to shove, at least I can still use it to push stuff to itunes/ibooks. [edit] That failed too. Now I have to go download all my plugins again arghh. oh well.. damned if I know. Last edited by kyteflyer; 10-30-2011 at 03:28 AM. |

Have you tried accessing the Calibre server from Safari (or another browser) on your computer?
Do you have anything on the computer which will allow you to start a server? For example, python will do this. |
