iPad mystery
Hello all, glad to meet you!
I'm attempting to download via Calibre a pdf to an iPad. After my first attempts unaided failed I went to this forum seeking help. I thought I found it when I followed these steps:
Quick start: 'Connect to iTunes' mode
Launch iTunes with no connected iDevices.
In iTunes Preferences|Advanced, uncheck Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. This tells iTunes to use calibre's copies of your books.
Launch calibre, set Preferences:
Preferences|Behavior|Preferred output format to EPUB
Preferences|Conversion|common options|page setup|Output profile to iPad
Preferences|Plugins|Device Interface plugins|Apple device interface - click Enable/Disable plugin so that driver is disabled (grayed out). This disables direct connection to the iDevice, and makes it possible to use the 'Connect to iTunes' method below. It is still possible to customize the plugin, as these settings are shared among the various Apple device drivers.
Restart calibre.
Select Send to device↓Connect to iTunes to connect iTunes as a Reader device.
Alas, after doing this I couldn't even get the iPad's icon to appear at the top of Calibre!
What am I missing here?
Again, nice to be here.
Jon
