I believe what we're seeing is the first step of iTunes becoming fully sandboxed. |

Odd that the Windows version still works. I assume you have to use a completely different mechanism for Windows?

It makes sense that Apple is more concerned about rogue apps in the OS X space than Windows. G |

I suppose it's silly to even ask, but I'm guessing this means that the option to connect directly to iPad (even though somewhat depreciated) won't work either as an alternative?
I have been attempting to set up the content-server option, but after hours of trying, I am left completely stymied. It may seem easy to others, but I'm at a loss there. For the moment I have my calibre library stored in my DropBox folder, and I'm manually importing things to ibooks, but it means after reading, I now have to think about deleting items in multiple places (calibre, iTunes, iPad, etc.) rather than managing it all via calibre with iTunes connected. The iTunes option was so easy and manageable for me, and this just...sucks. argh. |

The direct connect feature worked through iTunes, so it no longer works either.
Argh indeed. |

Sigh.

Except, of course, Apple Script has been the lonely stepchild of Apple development for seven or eight years now. I really like how apparently even the scripts I have in ~/Libraries/Scripts will have to be moved to a new folder in order to continue running. |

GRiker,
I've pulled the source to take a look at my idea of generating a .scpt file and running it with osascript; but I'm not going to make any promises - I've got several commitments over the next several weeks so I may not be able to look at this till late July. Another possibility, based on the above quote, is to have calibre export a list of files and meta data, then have the user manually execute a script that reads the list and imports the files into iTunes. Not nearly as good as the current model. Last edited by mwheinz; 06-19-2012 at 08:47 AM. |

Advice
Long time Calbre user, first time poster here-
I sent a complaint to Apple about the sandboxing issue with Calibre communicating to iTunes and on a whim I emailed it to Tim Cook. Long Story short, I got an email from Apple Corporate Relations asking to have a phone conversation tomorrow. Any words of advice when I talk to them? Anything specific I should mention about this issue? Thanks in advance. |

I would simply point out how many tools have been developed over the years that need this interface - and how poorly Apple has communicated these changes to their users.
After all - did they warn anyone that iTunes 10.6.3 would break our scripts? If you google for "itunes 10.6.3 applescript" you'll see developers complaining on stackoverflow, (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...90383#11090383) and users complaining about their scripts breaking (http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/201...hon-appscript/). |

If you use Time Machine, and you've recently updated iTunes, you can roll back to the previous version that was installed on your machine.
