Calibre won't send to iPad

antproof · 11-21-2011, 08:00 AM

Hello,

Using Calibre 0.8.27 on Macbook Pro w/ Lion 10.7.2 and sending to iPad 2

I am having trouble using the "send to device" function in Calibre. I get a message "error communicating with device" and the following message.

Any hints on what's going on here?

Thanks in advance.

calibre, version 0.8.27

Can we assume you have read the FAQ in i-devices?

You're using the unsupported direct connect mode. You need to use the 'Connect to iTunes' method described in the iDevices sticky in this sub-forum.

Thanks, I remember this now. The configurations must have been reset during the last upgrade as this worked directly before.
