The plugins expect to only find one idevice, and get confused, e.g. the plugins fail to initialise. This is why I have previously advised powering off all idevices apart from the one you are trying to connect Calibre to via USB.

We have now put a small fix into the libimobiledevice code so it will no longer report WIFI detected idevices, so you can keep all your idevices on. You still should only have one connected via USB to your Calibre PC. This fix should be in the next Calibre release.
This update did something. at least the iOSRA installs! and managed to install Marvin XD... but even with my iPad connected and set to "add books", connected to my MacBookPro via USB, Calibre won't access the iPad.

but seems like one step closer, as before I couldn't even load the plugin.
