ADE does not recognize my device

I installed Adobe Digital Editions on my PC on the instructions of my library when I wanted to borrow an ebook, and authorized it with my Adobe ID. Becuase I want to read the book on my tablet, I then connected my tablet (a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, model GT-P5110) and launched ADE as the instructions for transferring an ebook to ereader specify (see Transfer eBook to eReader | Adobe Digital Editions) but ADE is not recognizing my device, even though the computer itself is recognizing it. I've tried several times with the same results each time and I am getting pretty sick of having my time wasted. Help please!

FYI, I have ADE version 4 and can't get my ADE to recognize my Nook reader. My mother, OTOH, has ADE version 3 on her computer, and just now her ADE did recognize her Nook. The library book she downloaded this evening has now been transferred to her Nook.
My conclusion: if your troublesome ADE is version 4, perhaps you could try uninstalling that version, put on version 3, and see if that version will recognize your device.

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

Mac pro does not recognize ipad device when connected via usb port, suggestions?

mac pro running os 10.6.8 does not recognize ipad device when connected via usb port, suggestions? itunes 10.7

Here's a troubleshooting assistant: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
The most likely issue: Have you plugged your iPad into a USB port that is not directly part of your MacBook Pro?

HT201210 I downloaded the latest update to itunes. I am now getting a message that my ipod is on recovery mode and needs to be restored. When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize the device.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes. I am now getting the message that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored. When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize this device. Now my ipod is frozen with an image of a cord and an arrow pointing toward the itunes icon. All was working fine before the download!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You do not mention a problem.

I could originally sync my iPad 3 to Mac pro but now it does not recognize the device. It does on my MacBook however.

I could originally sync my iPad 3 on my Mac pro via iTunes. Now the computer does not recognize the device and shows as "not charging" on the device screen. It does still charge with the cord and will sync with my Mac book. I have current iTunes software installed and running 10.6.8. Any help would be appriciated.

Nope. iPads can only be synced with one iTunes library, and all content on the iPad would be erased if you tried to sync it with a different one.

ADE does not recognize Icarus t701 tablet

In the Icarus manufacturer specification there is ADE recognize the t701 tablet device, but it does not. The tablet with Android OS is connected to the PC via USB, but ADE can not recognize it. It is sad, because I can't install ADE directly to the tablet because the Android does not support flash. What can I do to read DRM ePub files on my tablet?

Thank You for your answer! In the meantime the manufacturer has changed the specification of the device. The t701 tablet compatibility with ADE is no longer readable, but there is a solution of my problem:
"To read DRM protected content you might need specific applications, depending on the source of the book. One possible solution is to download the TXTR application from the Android market. You will need to register with them, but it will enable you to access DRM protected content on your tablet and other devices."
I've tried it, and it's really works, the TXTR software can authorize the tablet device with my Adobe account!
Anyway Adobe plans the ADE compatibility with the Icarus t701?

ADE Does Not Recognize My NOOK Tablet

I have searched the forum for answers, but so far no one seems to have the same problem I am experiencing. I have been using a Win 7 PC to download EPUB books from my local library for nearly two years with no problems. Seemingly overnight ADE no longer recognizes my NOOK. I have tried rebooting the PC, uninstalling/reinstalling both ADE 1.7.2 and 2.0 (I am now back to 1.7.2 after seeing other posts re: 2.0). I have unauthorized and reauthorized ADE, and it still does not recognize my NOOK when it is plugged in. The cord/connection seem to be fine; I can see the NOOK in Explorer, but not with ADE. I have also deleted the ".adobe-digital-editions" and "digital editions" folders on the root of the NOOK's drive to initiate the download process. No luck so far; does anyone have any ideas on next steps? Thank you

With Sony ereaders you must have some extra Sony software.
If you don't, you get exactly what you see; the device is seen in Explorer but not in ADE.
I don't know if there is anything similar with the Nook, but I mention it just in case.
In the case of the Sony, the extra software is installed with Sony Reader software;
but you don't have to run the Sony Reader for the extra software to have its effect on ADE.
If for some odd reason you can't get the Nook recognized,
you should still be able to borrow books as usual and download the file using ADE,
and then transfer the .epub file to the Nook using Explorer.
As long as the Nook is still authorized with your ID, you will be able to read the books on the Nook.
A bit more of a faff than direct ADE transfer, but not too inconvenient.

After upgrading to 7.1 iTunes does not recognize iPad device

I upgraded iPad to system 7.1. I got a message to connect to my iMac and iTunes by my USB cable, which I did.
iTunes no longer recognizes the iPad wirelessly and does not recognize it even when attached byUSB cable.
My iPhone (4.2.1) is recognized by cable.
Any suggestions?
Bryan Davis

Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
Anything else I am missing?

ADE Does Not Recognize Import From Nook

I have loaded some books directly from B&N to my nook. The file format that B&N uses is the ISBN number, dot epub. For example 97803454.epub. However, when I connect my Nook to my computer when ADE is open, I am not able to drag and drop the file to ADE; I get an error message that the document is licensed to another user. I can place the file in the ADE folder through Windows Explorer and then add the item to the library, and the item appears but under status, "errors" appears and I am not able to open the file. All I see in the library is the ISBN number.
Is there a way to make this file recognizable in ADE.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

ADE does not ( yet ) support books purchased from B&N.
