Greetings -

I can't seem to successfully transfer books from Calibre on mac to Marvin on iPad Air, and I'm forced to go back to iTunes to do it via File Transfer. I meticulously followed the installation instructions of IOSRA and MarvinHD. Redid it several times. The calibre connection window will display on iPad OK and indicate connection and ready. But when titles are selected the Send To Device function is grayed out. iPad is connected to mac via USB cable. Mac running 10.9.5 Mavericks.

I tried connecting with both Calibre as content server and wireless transfer with same result. Syncing Calibre and Marvin is why I got the app. Help!

I’m on an 8-core 2.26 dual MacPro running 10.9.5 with 16 GB RAM. Somebody else must have had this problem.

Thanks for any assistance.
