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.

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 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.

Installed Digital Edition on the computer but it does not recognize the Nook HD when I plug it in and open Adobe....how can I transfer a book from computer to Nook if it doesn't recognize it....?

I have just installed Adobe Digital Edition on my computer. I closed it and then plugged in the new Nook HD and opened the Digital Edition back up - it does NOT list the Nook in the left side so I cannot move the book to the NOok....how do I get this recognized so it works. ?

Please have a look at the similar thread, Authorizing my nook. Hope the solution mentioned in this thread solves your problem.

ADE does not recognize NookColor

I have ADE installed on my computer and I can download ebooks to it. I want to transfer the ebook to my Nookcolor but ADE does not "see" it. What do I need to do to get ADE to "see" my Nookcolor? Thanks.

I spent HOURS trying to figure this out and I finally fixed it. It takes multiple steps.
1. First you need to delete the adobe.digital.editions file on your Nookcolor (because it loaded but did not register you need to do it again) See steps below
Connect your NookColor (NC) to your computer and then try to wake up your Nookcolor. It should tell you it is now connected by USB and you can transfer files.
Once you see this, go to My Computer and choose whatever drive your NC is connected to (you will need tochoose Open Folder to View the files in Windows Explorer - if it asks you that question)
Open the NC files in windows explorer
You will see a file folder named .adobe-digital-editions
Delete it (we will reinstall it later). I promise it will not hurt your NC
2. Make Internet Explorer your default browser (don't know why but found this to be part of problem in my research) and close any other browser
3. Make sure Digital Editions is closed on your PC
4. Turn off your firewall (DON'T forget to turn back on when we are done!)
Go to Start menu to Control Panel and choose Windows Firewall
Turn off firewall
4. With your NC still connected to PC, Open Digital Editions on your PC
It should now ask you if you want to authorize a device (your NC) say YES!
Now when you are in library view of Digital Editions you should see MEDIA listed at the bottom - that is your NookColor
To add books in Digital Editions to your NookColor you should just click and drag the title of the book to the word MEDIA
Your books will now be on your NC and SHOULD be authorized (eliminating the credit card questions)
5. Eject your NC from your PC (right click on the drive it is located on and choose Eject)
6. Turn your Firewall back on (Start, Control Panel, Windows Firewall, On)
7. Wake up your NookColor (not connected to PC anymore) and check to see if you can open your books
Click on Library and choose My Files and then Digital Editions
You SHOULD see the books you copied from your PC
Open Digital editions folder
Open a book AND IT SHOULD WORK!
Hopefully, this will help you. If not, try deleting the old books you had tried to download before and start fresh. You can delete them while your NC is connected to your PC and you are viewing the files in Windows Explorer - that is the only way to delete books from your NC. I am a computer software trainer so I tried to make these instructions as user friendly as possible. Good luck!!

Was able to move books to old Nook but ADE does not recognize the newGalaxy Tab4 nook that I got

was able to move books from ADE to my old Nook, but can not get the program to recognize my new Galaxy Tab4 nook.
If copy and paste, am unable to open......does not accept my Adobe ID

ADE doesn't recognize devices connected in MTP mode, the new Galaxy Tab4 might be connected in MTP mode.

ADE will not recognize my Nook

I have tried and tried and tried and tried, did I say I tried? to get ADE to recognize my Nook, it won't. I've signed in, my computer is authorized, etc. Yet, it will not recognize my device. I cannot find anything in the menus to remedy this. Any help would be appreciated. Gary

Jim, Thanks for your response. Yes, I have used the same Adobe ID. Here's the current status per your question:
1. With ADE active and my Nook hooked up, my Nook appears as a "device" on the "Devices and Printers" window (in Windows 7). The Nook's property status reports "This device is working properly".
2. In the "Computer" window, the Nook does NOT appear as a drive. The Nook also does NOT appear in the "Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media" window when I remove it from the computer.
What action should I take? Thanks very much for your assistance.

ADE does not recognize my Samsung Galaxy Tab Samsung SM-T310

I'm using Windows Vista, I updated ADE today, but when I run it, there is no device. Calibre sees my device just fine, and so does Windows Explorer.
Because of this, I cannot view or read the books I borrow from the public library. (I don't use ADE to read, I don't read on the laptop (really really not an option for visual comfort reasons)). I just want to read the library books on my tab, so if there is a work around, would love to know, as I suspect my device is not supported, yes I checked the blog, and there is a generic listing on the 'supported devices' page, Samsung Electronics co. LTD eBook Reader on Galaxy Tab Android
Thanks for reading,
Ingrid

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.

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!

Does Flash does not recognize the brand tablet BQ?

Hi,
I have already published applications directly from Flash Professional CS6 to the SAMSUMG Galaxy and ipod touch, but I can not make the publication of the application to a tablet BQ brand.
BQ (http://www.bqreaders.com) sent me the dll for windows 7 to recognize the tablet, but still I have the same message in Flash when I try to publish my app: "Check that the device is connected, dll loaded and properly configured." Flash can not publish the application because it can not find the tablet.
Can you help me?
Regards,
Marcos Suárez

Please read this page about hooking up Android devices for USB debugging. If ADB doesn't list your device, your OS cannot see the device as available and therefore Flash cannot either:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/error-could-find-android-device.html
It doesn't matter if some special Sync software can see the device. You need the proper USB driver so ADB can see your device. The support page for BQ should have your devices driver:

?my ADE is not recognizing the Nook HD+.

I have authorized my HD+ with my email and number. I attached the HD+ to my computer. Then I opened ADE. It still is not recognizing my nook. What am I missing.

ADE does not recognize tablets.
You can transfer files downloaded to ADE using file manager (windows expolorer, mac finder) to mounted drive, or by something like Dropbox.
As long as ADE and the tablet app are registered to the same user, you should be able to read the book on the tablet.
You may need top open it explicitly, it may not automatically turn up in the app's 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.

T-61 Visat Prof. 32bit does not recognize internal 1TB SATA HDD

Hi,
I just bought 1TB WD internal SATA 2.5" hard drive and connected to USB of my laptop via SATA external adaptor but my laptop does not recognize this driver.
I have Windows Vista 32bit OS.
Any advise how I can fix this? My intent is to transfer all data from internal HDD to the new HDD and then replace old HDD with new one and upgrade to Windows 7.
THanks,
Ash

There are a few problems regarding the way you are trying to do this. First is that your new drive won't be recognized by windows until it's partitioned and formatted. Also, since you're upgrading the OS, you'd be better advised to install the new drive in your laptop and install the operating system, windows will setup the new drive for you then you can connect the old one and transfer any of it's data onto the new drive. If you do it this way it should be effortless, but if you attempt the way you described you could run into problems being that you have an advanced format drive replacing traditional sata drive. Also if you allow windows to initiate and format the drive you know it will be done properly for the type of drive you have.
Another suggestion would be to have windows setup the drive with at least two primary partitions. With a drive that large it's nice to have more than one and if you ever find the operating system badly corrupted you could wipe that partition and reinstall without losing any of the data in other partition/s. You can also install multiple operating systems. I can be very handy to have a backup operating system in case something goes wrong so you can be up and running immediately upon rebooting. There is nothing more frustrating than having a non-functioning computer when you badly need to get some work done and this can allow you to continue working and worry about fixing whatever went wrong at a time of your choosing.

Digital Editions does not recognize and authorize sony PRS-505

The problem is that it my first purchase a DRMed ebook at dieselbooks and I dowloaded digital editions and authorized it with no problems,
i downloaded the ebook and i was able to read it on digital editions. But the problem is that when i plug in the sony reader digital editions does not recognize it, so i cant authorize it and im unable to read the ebook on sony reader prs 505.
Since the ebook is DRMed i cant use another program to do it, i tried acrobat 8 with no solution.
Do you guys have an idea how to solve this problem?

Make sure you have installed and are running the latest Sony EBL software, the installation contains the needed drivers for ADE to talk to the 505. Note: if you are running on a Mac, ADE will not be able to talk to the 505 and you will have to use the Sony EBL 3.x instead.
