Connecting my ereader

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions, but when I open my file on my desktop my Sony PRS-T1 ereader is not showing up on the left hand side for me to download ebooks into. I do have it plugged into my computer via my usb cable.

Hey,
Thank you for the reply. Turns out my (modem) DSL cable was in the wrong plug socket (how silly do I feel). It was in the one with the <....> as opposed to the one with the dots all around. Both computers are working with the internet now.
Thanks for your time and advice.

Adobe Digital Edition Errors/Troubleshooting

When installing Adobe Digital Editions, I received a corruption error message."
This occurs because the installation software coming from Adobe's Web site is unable to communicate and pass information through your companies Firewall or PC security to save to the computer, or there is potential that your network is "locked down" limiting the accessibility on the PC to install or uninstall software.

Activation /authorisation problems please help distraught daughter

I hope someone can help me.
I bought my daughter a Sony Touch ereader for her birthday because she was envious of mine which I have had for a year and love. I had to go to work on her birthday so she was on her own when she set it up and I'm not entirely sure what she has done. As far as I can make out she installed Adobe Digital Editions about a month ago knowing that she was going to get an ereader and downloaded some ebooks to start with thinking she could transfer them to the ereader when she got it. I think she got herself an Adobe ID at the time but as far as ADE goes I suspect she did not authorise her computer with that ID at the time.
When she installed her ereader, ADE prompted her to authorise her computer which she did using the Adobe ID. She also bought some more ebooks which she transferred to her ereader no problem. However she still couldn't open any of the ebooks she bought before authorising. She has only ever used the one laptop for all of this so the issue with two separate accounts on two different computers should not apply.
I had a look at all the troubleshooting sites I could find and it suggested deauthorising and reauthorising the computer. That's when it all went pearshaped. She now can't open ANY of the purchased ebooks even the ones she could open previously. The ereader properties said it was authorised for Adobe DRM content and it had the right Adobe ID address. But when she tries to open them it says she is not authorised to preview the book. I have checked she used the same adobe ID and password for everything so it's not that
One of the things one always tries is uninstalling and reinstalling problem software. So I tried reinstalling ADE to make sure we had the most up to date version. But then it didn't recognise the ereader. WHSmith ebooks customer support said to download ADE yet again. I have now hit the too many activations problem. She has submitted a case through the web based support portal case number #0181349188 to get her permitted number of activations reset because we can't do anything until that is sorted out.
However I don't think that will solve the problem because as far as I could tell the computer was authorised properly but it would not recognise the ebooks downloaded before it was deauthorised and reauthorised. I don't know why it's an issue because it's not as if she has tried to transfer content from or to different computers or devices, she only has the one laptop.
Please can anyone help me sort this out. She is absolutely distraught as she has spent all her birthday money on ebooks she can't now open and as she is a student she can't just afford to write off the loss. And I feel sick about it because I thought she'd be thrilled with her new toy
I'm reasonably computer literate and I have never had any problem with my own Sony ereader (but then I tend to read the ...manual). I use my own ereader with a different computer by the way so I don't think it's a conflict. But I am stumped by this. Her laptop is about a year old a Sony Vaio running Vista Home edition. The registry may be a bit cluttered but although I can reinstall Windows if I have to I have never attempted a registry edit

I am a very happy woman!! (And I have a very happy daughter)
Thank you so much for your help. I still don't know what she did but it seems to be fixed
I got an error message when I connected the ereader saying a problem occurred while installing the Ereader software on your computer and I still couldn't open some of the ebooks even though I could open them in ADE so my heart sank. However I deleted the problem titles from the ereader and reimported them and then they were fine. I don't know what the error in installing the software was as it seems to be fully functional albeit rather slow to import large titles
She has been given strict instructions not to muck around with anything
Happy Christmas!!

How can i download adobe editions on my nook?

I want to download ebooks from my library from my computer to my nook. The Nook people tell me that I need to download adobe digital editions to my nook, but I have not been able to do this. Can you help me?

You didn't say if it is a Nook dedicated eReader or a Nook tablet.
In either case, you can't download Digital Editions (ADE) to it.
For an eReader you need to download ADE to a computer, and connect the eReader to the computer by USB.
It should then show up as a device on the left hand panel of ADE.
Some devices fail to show up in ADE2.0, in that case install the older but more reliable ADE1.7.2 (see below).
For a tablet, you need to install a compatible eReader app such as Bluefire or Aldiko.
Then copy the books using a file manager (e.g. Windows Explorer or Finder) to the drive the tablet should be mounted as.
Or maybe try the Overdrive app if you only want it for library books.
Overdrive can borrow and download library books with no need for a PC/Mac,
but quite a few people have problems with authorizing Overdrive on Android.
~~~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Long question - sorry. I have had a sony ereader for some years. In 2010 I used my laptop to buy/load and obviously had an adobe account at that time. Then, because it was easier, i used by desktop computer (end 2010 onwards) to do this. But yesterday, it all went WRONG !!
I had been offered an upgrade by sony site - which i did - and then when i tried to access 'store' the website was all wrong/distorted - so i couldn't actually buy any books. So, i thought (seemed simple at the time) that I would use the laptop.
I had to download latest version of AD - as had a much earlier version 2010 on the laptop - that went ok.
it prompted me for adobe id - which was ok - but then i changed it because the id was so old and i no longer used that format - so that got updated. Seem to recall (tho it is somewhat hazy now) being asked if i wanted to transfer ? and i would have said yes ?
Anyway I went on to store - and purchased some books - which i downloaded ok - and connected by ereader - and they synched across.
BUT - it would only let me access the books i had just purchased. When i tried to access the other 300+ books it said that they were drm protected !
Have a substantial investment that i can't access.
what should i do ?

Could you upload the book by now? You may be connecting to the wrong Print Products Store. Check, that the "Region" settings in "System Preferences > Language & Region" are set to the country you are in.
Otherwise check the things listed in this post:

My sony ereader will not connect to Adobe Digital Editions

My sony ereader will not connect to Adobe Digital Editions even though my computer is authorized

When you register your ereader with SONY, you'll need to make sure that the
Reader Library entries were created on your hard drive for the ereader to
work properly. Only some of them are supported by ADE. There's a list in
the HELP section of ADE.
Also, there have been some problems with the PRS-T1 model.
Hope this helps!

Second ereader will not connect

I have two ereaders a T1 and T2. I've had the T1 for a long time and when I connect to my PC, the PC Readers SW will launch automatically and I can sync books to the ereader. When I connect the T2 it maps another drive but will not connect with the PC Sony Reader application. How do I sync books to the second, T2, ereader?
Thanks

Good afternoon rtulloch.
I am very sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Sony Reader PRST2. We have some troubleshooting steps that you can try to solve this issue, first we are going to try a soft reset and if that doesn't fix the issue, you will need to perform a hard reset, but if you do the hard reset, everything will be deleted and the Reader will go back to factory settings.
Soft reset: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31629/p/73878,73889,73893/c/65,66/

I need to know how to connect my macbook to the tv

I ordered the mini dvi adapter for my macbook 13in and obviously it connects to the computer but i have no idea how it connects to the tv. Where does it go? and do i need something else to help connect it to the tv? I am really confused please help.

Yep, Apple makes adaptors to go from the mini DVI on the macbook to almost any type of input that you TV will have. First check the back of your tube to find out what kind of input it has, and order the appropriate adaptor.

HT1351 when my iphone 5 is connected, i can't see the content in itunes library. when i have an older ipod plugged in, there is a button to view what's on the ipod but not iphone. how do i see the music stored on iphone 5 in itunes??

When i connect my iphone 5 to cpu, i cant figure out how to see the music held on phone. When I click the "iphone" icon, it pulls up the options (summary, info, music, apps, etc) but when i click music, it just gives sync options. When i plug in an older ipod, there's an option to see what's on the ipod but not with my iphone 5. how do i see the music stored on my iphone in itunes?

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

How do I get my ereader to appear on the left hand side of Digital Editions?

I have a Kobo Vox ereader and it works well. It connects to my computer and appears when I look at My Computer. It doesn not appear on the left hand side of Digital Editions under Devices (devices does not appear either) when ADE is started. The book I downloaded appears in ADE and is readable in ADE. How do I get the Kobo to appear within ADE so I can transfer the book. ADE does not seem to see the device to ask me to register it as the help screen suggest it might. I've made sure that it is connected before I open ADE. Please help.

The eReader is authorized/activated with an AdobeID rather than with a computer.
It is possible to have multiple computers and multiple devices all authorized with the same ID.
The eReader gets its authorization when you Authorize Device from any computer;
and then should work find when connected to any other computer authorized with the same ID.
~~~
One possible reason for your issue is that you haven't authorized the laptop with your AdobeID.
In that case ADE generates an anonymous/implicit ID with very limited capabilities.
In particular, one capability missing is the ability to pass the implicit ID onto a device;
so it is possible (???) that in that case ADE does not show the device.
If that is the case
ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D if it's a Mac) on the laptop to remove the anonymous ID
restart ADE (maybe not needed)
authorize ADE with the same ID as you are using on the desktop
restart ADE (maybe not needed)
plug in the eReader and see if it is recognized
