hello;
i have no idea why calibre did what it did today.
in iTunes the sync settings for the iPad are to sync selected audiobooks
and all Books. the books in iTunes before calibre added the 600+ books
was 25 books. Those 25 books were from the gutenburg project or the
internet archives. calibre setting are whatever the defaults are. i downloaded
calibre 0.7.2 for macosx and installed it.
iTunes and calibre were both running when i attached the iPad. shortly
after attaching the iPad the calibre icon in the dock started to jump up and
down indicating that it required attention. i clicked on the calibre icon and
noticed that the jobs section of the calibre main page was active. clinking
on the jobs section brought up the detailed jobs window. in the top information
window next to where the number of books in the library is given showed
an iPad icon and indicated that there was 7.5 gigabytes free. the jobs window
showed that calibre was reading the iPad for the books list. next it showed
that it was loading all the books onto the iPad. during this time the imac would
become non-responsive for close to a minute at a time. with the iPad containing
the entire e-books collection of 679 books caused iTunes of add the entire collection
to the "Books" category.
to prevent this from happening again i have disabled all device plugins.
