Can't download Ebook from my local library

When I download an ebook from my local library using ADE it won't download it into my ADE library only unto my computer (the book doesn't appear in my ADE libarary) so I can't transfer it to my Kobo. Both my Kobo and my Mac computer are activated with ADE. This function worked perfectly until last week so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but with no success. Help!

Reinstalling the software normally will not fix this kind of issue.
I'm not sure what 'feedback' you got from ADE when you did the
download. You should not have to go through this process. IF you have
registered with Adobe and obtained an Adobe ID, and then downloaded and
installed ADE, it will carry the registration information with it.
Libraries generally use Overdrive software, which checks for registered
copies of ADE or other ebook software on your computer during their
download process. When Overdrive finds that information, it will activate
ADE during the download process.
The normal process is:
Find the ebook on the library site and go through whatever process they
have to download it to your computer.
When the download starts, you should have an option as to whether to OPEN
or SAVE the ebook, and where to store it. Usually, when ADE is installed,
the location will be where the ADE library is located (My Digital Editions
folder).
Choose SAVE. The library will continue with the download process, open
ADE, and the ebook should appear in your ADE library.
Of course things can go wrong. For starters, if you did not register with
Adobe before you downloaded and installed ADE, then ADE might not open at
all, and the library will download the pointer file (ebooktitle.ascm) to
your computer. If this occurs, then you can 'grab' the ebook by finding
the file, then right-clicking on it and choosing 'Open With' from the
drop-down menu. ADE should show up in the list of programs that appear.
Choose ADE, and ADE should start to open the file.
ADE might open the ebook in Reading mode. If it does, then close the
ebook. Then, go to Library mode, and click on the small arrow next to the
word 'Library'. A drop-down menu will appear. Select 'Add Item To
Library', and ADE will open another window asking you to tell it what ebook
and where that ebook is. Fill in the information and ADE will add the
ebook to your library.

Why does adobe digital editions not recognize my nook?

Why would adobe digital editions not recognize my nook when I connect the nook through the usb port?

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the late response. I'm trying to do this for my mum on her computer, but I don't live with her, so it can be hard for me to find the spare time to get to her place.
Okay, let me start by listing a few things in dot points:
- Adobe Digital Editions does not recognise the device. There doesn't even appear to be any menu options for a "device" anywhere in the program.
- When I connect the device to the computer, the screen lights up and the word "USB" appears on it, so it is definitely noting the PC connection. However, no device appears in "My Computer" (running Windows XP). Tried using "Add Devices", but it couldn't find anything.
- Yellowstone, the brand, appears to be a product of JB Hifi, the store she purchased it from, and has no website or online software/drivers.
- I downloaded Calibre as you said. It seems a lot cheaper, but has easier to read options. However, it still won't let me load to my device (the text is greyed-out). I assume this means the program is not recognising the device either.
Not sure what to do now, kinda run out of ideas. Any more help would be greatly appreciated.
Thakns Linda.

Adobe Digital Edition freezes after downloading a book via -acsm file

Hello,
Three hours ago I have downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) so that I can read a book for my studies.
I use Win7 on my netbook.
I fully authorized it, downloaded the .acsm file, unblocked it in the properties and opened it with the ADE.
A smaller window popped up saying: Fulfilling[book name] and a progress bar went up to 100%. Then it dissapeared and the ADE froze in a fashion that it can be moved around and minimalized, but nothing else.
Eventually, after about 30min I closed it via task manager.
I've already spent three hours digging through the forums instead of studying so any help is appreciated.

I am also having this problem. Did you find a solution?

Need help w/ Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) to download to Nexus 7 using Sony eReader

I am wondering if I can download an etextbook on Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) from my labtop to my Nexus 7 using Sony eReader.
I am trying to do this and coming up w/ this problem on my Nexus 7 - Sony eReader currently.
It will not accept Adobe ID under "Adobe ID Confirmation" on Sony eReader.
It also says:
ATTENTION: You need to enter the Adobe ID originally associated with your Reader Store account. Usually, this ID is automatically created.
Do you know will these programs/devices be compatable w/ each other? If not can I use Ipad as a last resort?

You should install an Adobe DRM compatible app on the Nexus 7.
I suggest Bluefire; also consider Akdiko or Overdrive but some people have issues registering them. Some tablets come with such an app preinstalled. Authorize the tablet from within the app to use your Adobe ID (details vary from app to app, usually somewhere within Settings)

When I try to authorize the adobe digital edition that I downloaded it tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I am.

I purchased some CEU courses from humankinetics.com and I was trying to download the course information. It said I had to download Adobe digital edition to read the ebooks associated with my courses. I downloaded it and I was trying to authorize it so I could run it and for some reason whether I use an Adobe ID or not it keeps telling me that I am not connected to the internet. I have checked and rechecked my connection and it is fine. Is there any way around this?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Is it something about "I Shot the Sheriff" that my iPod has a moral disagreement with? It had no issue importing and installing Body Count's "Kop Killa"...
Not really likely, is it?
First of all, look on the iPod to see if the song is actually on there. (The last Sync of my Classic resulted in "song not copied... because it cannot be found." The song had previously been on the iPod. I checked and despite the fact that iTunes could not find the file, the song was still on my iPod. I checked the folder and the song was exactly where t was supposed to be. So I simply set iTunes to find it again. What happened? I don't know, iTunes simply threw a wobbly!)
Second, try another Sync. Does this change anything? If the song was on the iPod, does a second Sync remove the message? If the song was not on the iPod after the first Sync, does the second one put it on there?
What happens?

Digital Editions - unable to download

Hi
I purchased an eBook (epub) about a year ago. I authorized the computer (laptop) and downloaded the eBook successfully. My laptop was subsequently stolen a few months later. I'm now trying to download the eBook again onto a new laptop but I'm getting the below error
Unable to download. Error getting license. License Server Communication Problem:
E_LIC_ALREADY FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER.
I have authorized the new laptop using the same Adobe ID previously used with no success. I have deauthorized / erased authorization and reauthorized the laptop as per advice on some of the forums but this has not helped at all.
I contacted the store I purchased the eBook from and they advised I contact Adobe directly for assistance.
Please help urgently.
Kind Regards,
Juan Pretorius
