Welcome to the Forum.
I have been using the
iOS Reader Applications plugin for quite a while with my iPad Mini (non-retina) and haven't had any "recognition" problems. However, I'm running with some OLD versions: iOS 7.1, iTunes 11.1, calibre 1.4, Windows Vista. It’s possible that some of my instructions are not exactly the same in the latest versions.
First, a quick check to see if the plugin is already installed but possibly not activated:
In calibre, click on Preferences > Plugins > Device Interface Plugins. The list is alphabetical; you’re looking for “iOS Reader Applications”. If the icon is GREEN, the plugin is installed and active. If it is GRAY, give it a single click to highlight it and then click Enable/Disable towards the bottom of the screen.
If it’s NOT there, move on to step two:
Click “Get new plugins” at the bottom of the screen. To alphabetize the list, click on the “Plugin Name” column header. When you find “iOS Reader Applications” give it a single-click to highlight it and then click “Install” at the bottom of the screen.
IMPORTANT: Now do what I forget to do 75% of the time! Click the APPLY button at the top of the screen or all your work is lost!
As a double-check, go back to the first step and make sure the plugin is installed and activated.
Plug in your iPad and you should be good to go.
If your iPad is still not recognized, post your version info: iOS, iTunes, Calibre, PC operating system.
Someone with a setup closer to yours can probably give you some good advice.
