Help finding Calibre library when using CC

BNGA · 01-20-2015, 06:00 PM

I have CC on my android tablet and when I hook it up for calibre to send books over to it, I connect as a wireless device but it won't find the library I'm in, so I don't know what I need to do. Can someone help me please.

Thanks, Bridget

I am not sure what problem you are having. Is CC succeeding to connect as a wireless device, or failing to connect?

If CC is connecting as a wireless device then it will "see" the library open by the instance of calibre is is connected to. If you have multiple computers running calibre all having wireless connections enabled then CC will give you a dialog asking which you which one you want to use. If you have multiple computers running calibre but only one with wireless connections enabled, CC will connect with that computer. If this is your situation then you should enable wireless connections on the computer with calibre open on the library you are interested in.

If CC is failing to connect then we have a different set of problems.

Thank you for your help I don't know what I was doing wrong, but yes now it sees it and it says I can send books to my tablet.

Good that it now works.

Less good that we have the mystery about why it didn't work before. Please feel free to come back if it happens again.
