Cannot install iOS Reader Applications plugin
I have attempted to install v1.3.6 of this plugin several times, and it tells me there is a problem. Here is the error report:
calibre, version 1.30.0 ERROR: Install Plugin Failed: A problem occurred while installing this plugin. This plugin will now be uninstalled. Please post the error message in details below into the forum thread for this plugin and restart Calibre.

The error "unable to connect with iDevice" would seem to suggest that you didn't have your iPad/iPhone connected to your PC. Make sure you have it plugged in, with iTunes running, before you try to install the plugin.

After I upgraded from Calibre 1.26 to 1.30 and connected my iPad to my Macbook (with iTunes running), I could install the plugin without any problem. |

Is there any particular reason that the plugin requires a connected iDevice at the time of installation? I suspect that a lot of people must fall foul of that.

It's a good idea to install the plugin without any devices connected.
When there's an active issue filed, I work with the poster to create a debug log which gives me a better opportunity to pinpoint the problem. Sometimes it's easy, like a hard reset of the iDevice, less frequently it requires restoring the system software. I recently resolved two bugs (one on a Windows platform, one OS X) where the user's profiles were preventing the libimobile device library from working. Switching to a different user profile solved the problem(s). G |

I had the same error, reproduced below, when trying to update the plugin with a connected device. After disconnecting, install functioned normally.

I notice that a new version of the plug-in was released yesterday. What's changed?

@HarryT,
If you check the Version history spoiler at the bottom of the first post in this thread, it shows a terse summary of what changed from version to version. The current release fixes a bug affecting Marvin users. G |

@Keltia,
Try updating with your iDevice disconnected. G |

It's possible that the update hasn't been refreshed in calibre's cache.
You can try downloading and installing the plugin manually by referring to How do I install a plugin manually? in this post. G |
