Unable to open .ACSM file in Digital Editions on intel Mac OS X

I am on an intel based Mac running OS X and have recently purchased an eBook for Digital Editions.  I had previously purchased a Digital Editions format eBook and had no problems with it, and am currently able to view it in Digital Editions.  I have downloaded the .ACSM file for my new eBook, however, when I attempt to assign the file to open with Digital Editions, the Digital Editions program window opens, but no activity concerning my new eBook occurs, and all that is listed is my previously purchased eBook.  I have also attempted dragging the .ACSM file directly to the Digital Editions program window, as I have heard that this works on occasion, but still nothing.  I have only ever installed DE version 1.7.1 and have no previous editions that would need to be uninstalled.  Any ideas?

  • Cannot open .acsm files in Digital Editions 1.7.1.1085

    i have downloaded an ebook in .acsm file but cannot open it in the latest version of Digital Editions. 
    .acsm files are correctly associated with Digital Editions on my system (i'm running Visa)
    when i try to add items to the library, the only allowed extensions are .pdf and .epub. 
    hope someone can help

    Thank you for your answer, but I forgot to say that yesterday I also tried to download a file from your free library. Actually, I needed to be sure the problem didn't come
    from my pc or from the ebookstore I bought the epub files from, anyway, when trying to open files I got the same window with the same message. I don't think
    files on your library are expired ones too.
    I selected France as region and  French as language, but I live in a french territory in the South Pacific, may this fact be a problem for reading epub files?
    Is there any legal way to convert these urlinkascm files into pdf ones?
    Thanks

  • Unable to open acsm files in ADE. "Error! Check activation." Any idea?

    Unable to open acsm files in ADE (e-books I have recently bought and borrowed, too). I get the message "Error! Check activation." The ADE programme is authorized on both PCs in use. Any idea?

    Try de-authorizing and then re-authorize the computer.
    Please make sure that you remember the user-id/password correctly.

  • Unable to open .acsm files

    I've just upgraded to ADE 2.0 and can no longer open .acsm files.  I've tried to associate ADE 2.0 to .acsm files via Windows 7 control panel and 'open with' but when I click ok, nothing happens - no error message but no acceptance of the association

    E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED could mean that a library loan has expired.
    It can also happen if you get times or times-zones wrong.
    There are quite a few bugs introduced in V2.0 that were not there in v1.7.2.
    If you don't need the new features of V2.0, you might find an install of 1.7.2.
    You can have both installed at once.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • How do i open acsm file on my windows pc? i downloaded adobe digital edition, but it says error, check valuation?

    how do i open acsm file on my windows pc? i downloaded adobe digital edition, but it says error, check valuation?
    thanks in advance

    I'm wondering if that is similar to the issue I've encountered before, where the file association for acsm is not to ADE but a certificate file. If you could try right clicking on the acsm and 'open with' and search for ADE and make sure 'always open with this' is check marked, that may, I repeat may, help.
    If you've already done this, I don't know what to say, that's just what I've seen.

  • ITunes is somehow the default opening acsm files instead of digital editions

    So, I am trying to borrow eBooks from the library and download them into Adobe Digital Editions and then transfer them to my Kobo, but it is not so simple. I can download the acsm file, but when I double-click to open it, it tries to open in iTunes instead of Adobe Digital Editions. I can then go to my downloads folder, right-click on it and "open with.." Digital Editions. Is there a way to change this default? On my father's MacBook Air (I have a MacBook Pro), when you double click on the download it automatically opens in Digital Editions. I just want it to work this way on my computer!
    Also, I am having issues transferring from Digital Editions to my Kobo - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - and I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?

    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.

    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • Unable to open a file in ADE

    Ok, I've looked through all the help, and it says to open the .acsm (which is just a download link) click on the file and digital editions will download the file.  Well, I click on the link, it goes to digital editions and nothing happens.  No errors, nothing.  Now someone said you had to register your ADE.  Now I've had ADE for a couple years so I dont' remember if it's registered.  And,when I upgradied just now, registration was not an option.  So how do I register ADE, and does this have to do with why the ACSM file won't initiate properly?

    More information:  I have found that yes, my computer is authorized.  yet still, this .acsm file just does nothing!  How do I open it?

  • How do I change the default program that opens .acsm files?

    I am borrowing library eBooks to read on my Sony Reader.  I want to ensure that Adobe Digital Editions is the default program to open .acsm files, but am not sure how to do that.  Thanks for the help!

    Right (control) click on the .acsm file > select Open With > then select Adobe Digital Editions.
    Likewise you can select all of files in a folder with Edit > Select All > then Get Info and set them all to Open with: Adobe Digital Editions or whatever.

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

    How do i create the TUXCONFIG file?
    Did i miss something with the installation? What location should this file exist after your tuxedo installation?

    Hi
    The TUXCONFIG file normally is created automatically when you create your domain.
    In this case I think you ran into trouble because the path of installation is too long!
    Note the error in your log:
    115818.SU1491!PSWATCHSRV.5832.6140.-2: LIBTUX_CAT:1519: ERROR: TUXCONFIG value (C:\Documents and Settings\klondon\psft\pt\8.50\appserv\hrms\PSTUXCFG) is longer than the allowed length of 64
    Your path is 69 chars long!
    I would suggest that you re-try the configuration with a shorter tuxedo and PS_HOME: perhaps in the root directory (c:\PSHOME)
    In the past I've also noticed that installations have problems with paths that have spaces - ex: 'Documents and settings' , so I would avoid that as well.

  • "Unable to open project file" Error Message

    I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
    - only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
    - was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
    I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
    Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

  • Unable to open RAW files in CS6 after update

    Hi all,
    I have Photoshop CS6 and have been able to open my D4 Raw files with no issues using the Camera Raw version 7.1 plugin.
    Yesterday I upgraded my Mac OS from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (a big jump I agree) and proceeded to update Photoshop to the latest version as well as installing Adobe DNG Converter 8.8.
    I am apparently still using the same 7.1 plugin version as I always have but I am now no longer able to open any RAW files through Photoshop as it displays a message saying 'files not recognised' when I try to open them.
    Have I skipped too many updates? Do the latest Photoshop CS6 updates leave me unable to open RAW files? Am I being pushed down the CC route?
    Could anybody offer any help at all as I have a wedding to edit but cannot open any files!!! Stress!!!
    I backed up my system through Time Machine before I did the update but im not sure if I restore that I will still have Yosemite OS running.
    Any help or advice really is appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Phil

    Camera RAW should be at version 8.8 for CS6

    Hey guys,
    So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

  • Unable to open project file

    Hello!
    I'm in desperate need of a miracle here. I've already read over other solutions to this problem, but perhaps someone can come up with something I haven't. I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, and I finished a project last month that took a lot of editing work. After the project finished, I cleaned up my folders as usual, copying over all the media and the FCP project file over to my network external hard drive. I then made the horrific mistake of deleting my autosave files. Little did I know I'd want to access the project later, and instead of opening and having to reconnect my media, it just comes up with the error of "unable to open project file".
    I've tried copying the project file I saved in November back to my local computer and opening it. I tried dismounting the network external hard drive and opening my local project file. I tried adding a .fcp to the end of the file's name. And I downloaded Pro Maintenance Tools in a hope that it could fix the corrupted file, it said it was fixed, but I still can't seem to open it. All my other FCP files are opening just fine.
    I'm also interested if anyone knows whether my deleting everything FCP created except for the project file might be why it crashed?
    Thank you in advance to anyone who even reads this hoping they can help.

    Sorry, I'm out of ideas. Perhaps someone else with greater tech skills will chime in on this and be able to suggest a solution. Deleting or changing the location of the files you mentioned earlier in the thread can certainly complicate and add time to  a new  edit but should not have caused the problem you've encountered in getting the project file to open.
    Good luck.

  • "Unable to open project file" message in final cut express 3.5.1

    I have (well had now) a project with 3 video clips and multiple .psd files as stills. When the project contains just the 3 video clips and a couple of transitions I can save the project and quit Final Cut Express and relaunch FCE and when I try to re-open the same project, it opens just fine, without any problems and just the way I expected it to be. After editing the same project for a couple of hours and saving along the way (this has happened twice now and I don't think the length of time of editing matters) and adding multiple still images to the 3 video clips (this part is new in my working with FCE); I save and quit. When I return to open the same project I get the message "Unable to open project file" and click the OK button, which is my only option and I am given a new blank project. So where did my work go???

    Thank you for the response, but it hasn't worked yet...
    I read the link. I am working off my internal drive.
    I re-named the Capture Scratch folder, and any Render folders and then launched FCE. I was presented with a window that reads "To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Express HD, it is necessary to ensure the existance of the following path(s)" The path in the box below is where my project file and support files are. My 3 options are Quit, Check again and Reset Scratch disk. I choose the Reset Scratch Disk button and it took me to the Scratch Disk window and I Set/Created a new folder and clicked Choose and then OK back at the Scratch Disk window and Continue at the initial window... the Reset Scratch disk button is now labeled Continue. I am given a new Untitled Project work space. I tried to open my project file and once again with the message "Unable to open project file".
    Where did I go wrong???
