To be honest, I don't remember. I just know from experience sometimes it's good to start from scratch.

Looks like the problem is getting an iPad Air 2 to talk (via buttons) to Calibre: I have updated to Yosemite, I hoped it would solve the problem (seemed to work for some people) but I still the same issue: no device detected, no buttons.
So I am still using DropBox to upload my books to my iPad.

I have been told via PM that this will be fixed in the next release, but no fixed builds will be uploaded this time I guess.

Mr. Goodbar -- I've added one for the iPad Mini 3 (WiFi) that was reported on the GitHub issue tracker, otherwise it is the same as yours. I assume the other iPad Mini 3 USB ID is for the GSM version, but I will happily take any verification if anyone finds out which one it is.
EDIT: The OP confirmed it's the GSM one. Thanks @ivooskamp!

I have also bumped the version on this copy to 1.4.4.0.1, just because and it will show up as older than any new official release unless someone tries to play a really-small-version-numbers footsie game with me.

YES! This is the plug in which works for me, sweet heaven! My Ipad 2 Air is communicating with Calibre, with buttons and all! Thank you very much for all you guys who worked out a final solution!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make the fixed plugin official, in Philantrop's absence?

A moderator would have to replace the attachment in the first post.

When I attempt to load a plugin from the file there are no plugin installers in the folder just .py files that are grayed out. WHERE IS THE PLUGIN??

[PeterT]

Just go to Preferences | Plugins and then select the button "Load plugin from file" and select the ZIP file.

I've installed the plugin from the ZIP file but when I click in the Customize plugin button I get the following error message:

Using OS X 10.10.1 and Calibre 2.12

EDIT:
[SOLVED]:
1. Uninstall both iOS and Marvin plugins
2. Close Marvin
3. Delete these plugins related files located at ~Library/Preferences/calibre
4. Start Marvin, install the Marvin plugin and the iOS plugin from the ZIP file
5. Connect iPad and everything is working !

Working - but still does the cycling through analyzing books every time I add books to my iPad. Interesting.
