[Device Plugin] Apple iDevice interface

This plugin enables direct connection with Apple iDevices.

Before installing this plugin, it is important that you configure calibre and iTunes to work properly together as detailed in the Calibre + Apple iDevices: Start here forum sticky. Add at least one book from calibre to iTunes using the 'Connect to iTunes' method to confirm the configuration.

If, after installing the plugin, your iDevice is not recognized, follow these steps to report its USB characteristics:

• Connect your iDevice to your computer via USB
• Start calibre
• Open Preferences|Advanced|Miscellaneous|Debug device detection
• Click Copy to clipboard
• Close the Preferences dialog
• Create a reply in this thread with the type of iDevice, its generation, and the cellular provider if applicable.
• Paste the contents of the clipboard into the message, then select that pasted content and apply a spoiler tag (click the eyeball with the 'X' through it).

Special Notes:

• Requires calibre 0.9.9 or later.
• This Device Plugin is not built into calibre because it requires you to do some extra work to configure your system. If you're unwilling or unable to do the configuration, don't install this plugin.
• There are many configuration options in iTunes and system variables influencing the successful operation of this plugin. If you report problems, I will first ask you to confirm that you've followed the directions in the forum sticky. I will make a reasonable effort to resolve problems reported here, but if I can't, I will advise you to use the 'Connect to iTunes' method or calibre's Content Server to transfer content to your iDevice instead.

Installation Steps:

• Download the attached zip file and install the plugin/restart calibre as described in the Introduction to plugins thread.
• Exit and restart calibre
