CC not connecting to calibre
I recently purchased new computer. It is Windows 10. I transferred my Calibre LIbrary to the new computer with no problems. But now I can't get my iphone or Kindle Fire to connect through Wireless Device in CC on either device.
iphone 11 iOS version 14.8.1 kindle fire HD 8 8th generation iphone - when I connect, I get the Connected box but it just hangs up with the message "starting initial sync" and calibre never recognizes a connection. After about a minute the message goes away. kindle - when I connect, it searches for a minute then I get the Failed to connect message. I have restarted both devices, the computer and calibre to no effect. Please help ![]() |

How did you fix this? I'm having the same issue on Android and PC.

(Posting to help others in case that didn't work.)
I had the same issue with Windows 11. I did turn the Wi-Fi to public and it still wouldn't work. I finally turned off my Windows firewall and that allowed the connection. On reading how to allow Calibre to go through the firewall, I found a page that said how to get programs to be able to have access through the firewall, mainly by adding them to the exceptions. (Here's the link: https://www.technipages.com/block-un...dows-firewall/ in case you need it.) I didn't see "Calibre" listed, so I tried adding it. The program said it was already there, and it was, but under the "T"s (it is called "The Main Calibre Program" in the firewall list.) Neither the private nor public checkboxes were checked. I checked them both and turned my firewall back on. It seems to still be working. |
