Can't send files to iTunes with the latest Calibre (0.7.21)

I don't know if it's a problem with my exact settings or maybe a regression. Trying to send files to iTunes (iPad not connected, device recognized fine) I'm getting the following:

Code:

Error communicating with device

 (22, "invalid mode ('wb') or filename")  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 69, in run
   File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 361, in _upload_books
   File "site-packages\calibre\devices\apple\driver.py", line 934, in upload_books
   File "site-packages\calibre\devices\apple\driver.py", line 1983, in _get_fpath
   File "site-packages\calibre\devices\apple\driver.py", line 1316, in _delete_iTunesMetadata_plist
   File "site-packages\calibre\utils\zipfile.py", line 725, in __init__
 IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'C:\\Windows\\system32\\<fdopen>'

Anyone else out there with an iPad can check?

it's a regression, will be fixed in next release.

Wow! Thanks for the fast answer.

(And for the great program, but that goes without saying)

I got the same problem, but at least for the moment as long as you have the Apple device enabled you can plug in your idevice and send directly to the device.
