As per advise received from Mr ShellShock (thank you!) I am attaching here today's Calibre debug log from my Mac running on OSX 10.9.5: I first totally powered off my iPad Air 2, then via USB I tried connecting the iPad with Marvin's Calibre Connector to Calibre but still no communication between both: no buttons, no means of adding books via Calibre through Marvin on my iPad.
Every program has been updated (latest IOS and Marvin and Calibre), all (relevant) plug ins updated, I have just not (yet) updated to Yosemite.
I have also pressed the Debug Device detections option in Calibre, which leads to attachment 2 in my post here - not sure if this helps.
I have seen a post where I can find the plug-ins for Calibre; should I clean (and then what?) and/or remove the IOS Reader plug in (is still in my Calibre today), or should I wait for your advise, or....?
I feel so frustrated
... Appreciate your help!!
