Aura Calibre 0.9.43 wont recognize Aura

gtg524y · 01-01-2014, 05:24 PM

Hi. I received an Aura right before Christmas and I am having trouble with syncing it with Calibre. Whenever I connect it Calibre doesn't recognize it as anything other than a USB drive. I have run through the Calibre welcome wizard and told it that I am using both the Kobo Vox and Aura HD and Kobo Touch device options. Neither has helped it identify my Aura when I plugged it in.

I'm not completely sure what I am doing wrong setup wise or if there is just a bug in my connection.

The version of calibre you're using is very old. Is there some reason you haven't installed a newer version (current is 1.17)? I don't know whether this will fix your problem but the calibre Kobo device drivers are being updated all the time.

Edit: I've just checked, v9.43 dates from around August 2013, which was before the Aura 6" was released, so an update may well fix your problem.

Yup. It was as simple as that.
