ADE doesn't recognize second eReader

My sister bought a Kobo eReader a few months ago, but due to an old Mac OS on her computer she was having difficulty registering her Kobo.  I downloaded the Kobo software to my computer so she could register.  She registered her Kobo with her username and I set up the ADE on my computer with my own Adobe ID and also copied ADE to her computer.  Because she didn't have the Kobo software set up on her computer, the ADE on her computer (in my name with my ID) wasn't recognizing her eReader when she plugged it in. In order to get things to work, we simply plugged her Kobo into my computer and she could use my computer's ADE to transfer borrowed library books to her Kobo.  Everything worked fine.
Now I have a Kobo eReader that I would like to authorize to my ADE as well, but even though I've registered my Kobo with my own username (the same as my Adobe ID), which is different from her Kobo registration username, when I plug my Kobo in and open ADE, the Kobo eReader appears as a recognized device, but it is showing the contents that have been copied to her Kobo, not mine.  Instead of recognizing my reader as a different one, ADE seems to 'think' it's her Kobo (I can see the copies of the books that have been copied to her Kobo, but see only the thumbnails and they cannot be opened).  If I try copying books from my ADE library to my new Kobo, which is currently empty, I get a message thata the book I'm trying to copy is already there.  If I choose to make a duplicate I then see the thumbnail twice under the Kobo bookshelf, but when I eject my Kobo, no files have been copied.
One of the things I've gleaned from this forum is that when we register the devices with Kobo, each device should get some sort of identifying files that are then used when authorizing by ADE.  If this is the case, each of the Kobo eReaders should have unique information identifying them, but is there a way to 'tell' the computer which one is which and to get authorization to use the new Kobo with my Adobe ID?  Any advice for how to get the two readers set up and working with ADE would be appreciated.  I'm not trying to copy purchased books from one eReader to the other (I understand the restrictions in this case), but rather to copy borrowed library books to each Kobo.  The permissions from the library allow the books to be transferred to more than one device.

Update:
After speaking with someone from Kobo Help Line, we ended up deauthorizing my Kobo eReader (Command + Shift + e) even though it hadn't actually been authorized.  I plugged the Kobo in, opened ADE and the authorization window appeared allowing me to authorize my device.  Oddly enough, my empty Kobo was still showing the thumbnails from books copied to my sister's Kobo, so when I copied the library book from my borrowed bookshelf to my eReader bookshelf I got a pop-up saying the file already existed at that location (even though there wasn't a file there) and asked if I wanted to skip, replace or duplicate the file.  I chose to duplicate the file and it showed up fine in my Kobo.

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

  • ADE doesn't recognize Sony Reader in Mac OS 10.5 after Sony EBL 3.0 update

    I've got a PRS-505, and I just put Sony eBook Library 3.0 on my Mac laptop running Leopard 10.5, but Adobe Digital Editions still won't recognize the Reader when I plug it in.
    I've tried deauthorizing the computer and the device, and reinstalling ADE. The Reader works with eBook Library, and it still works with ADE on my old Windows machine.
    But, whenever I plug in my Reader on the Mac, it gets recognized by EBL but not ADE. Nothing happens in ADE.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • ADE doesn't recognize my ipad in the library

    Both my computer and my ipad mini are authorized with my Adobe ID, and I'm connecting the ipad before opening ADE, but the ipad doesn't show up in the library to let me transfer a book.  What am I doing wrong?

    I'm using the Overdrive app, and their help pages indicate that I can then use Digital Editions to transfer.  This is what I'm looking at:  http://help.overdrive.com/article/0005/How-to-transfer-eBooks-to-an-eBook-reader-using-Ado be-Digital-Editions
    I connect the ipad, then open ADE as instructed, but nothing appears under "devices:
    I notice the line that says Note: If you don't see your device, you may need to install some additional software. Please check your eBook reader's documentation for more information.  However, I can't find any reference to "additional software" in Overdrive or ADE help files or web pages.
    I'm not itunes savvy, and I don't know how to transfer book files using itunes.

  • I had to reinstall ADE on another computer.  Now it doesn't recognize my Sony eReader

    I had to reinstall ADE on another computer.  Now it doesn't recognize my Sony eReader.  How do I get it to recognize it?  Do I need to "unauthorize" my ADE id on the 1st device?  Is that the problem?  How the hell do you talk to a live body at Adobe?  This is ridiculous.
    Ted

    Hello -  the chat service for ADE helped me find an answer.  With Sony ereaders, you always need to have the Sony reader app installed on the same machine as ADE.  There are some drivers installed with the Sony reader app that are needed.  Since I did that, ADE now acknowledges my Sony PRS-350. 
    Here is a link:  https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
    The chat line was very helpful with this; they tell me you cannot call in to get ADE support -  you can only use the chat box.

  • My Ipod Touch Won't Charge Properly and My Laptop doesn't recognize it.

    Everything was fine until this morning.
    I was charging my iPod Touch while my daughter and I were playing with it. Since I have to do some errands, I removed the charger even though the battery was not yet full. I did played a bit, even took some photos. After an hour or so I decided to plug in the charger again. I was waiting for the BEEP sound it does whenever it charges, but it didn't make any beep sound nor the battery display didn't turned green. I tried plugging it on my laptop, and my laptop just gives me a message saying it doesn't recognize the device. So I went to borrow my mom's speaker (she have an iPhone and charges it using a speaker for iPhones/iPods since her own charger is broken), it still doesn't charge but when I play music on my pod, the speaker reads it. So I tried turning off then turning on my iPod, same thing happens, still not charging. So I asked my brother about it, he said I should try pressing the home button and power button for 10 secs til the Apple logo appears while charger is plugged. So I did, then VOILA... the much awaited BEEP sound and the green battery.. IT IS CHARGING!!!... so I left it for like two hours, expecting the battery would be full (waiting for the plug icon on the battery)... but all I got is like a 99% green. So I left it charging for 10 more minutes. Still the same after ten minutes, and gave it another ten minutes, still the same again. So I unplugged the charger and replug it again... I went back to NO BEEP, NO GREEN BATTERY CHARGING SIGN. I did the hold for ten seconds home and power button til the Apple logo appears, there goes again the beep and the green battery. I checked it again... it seems like I need to do the ten seconds home and power button press every time I plug in the charger.
    Now I tried it on my laptop, same troubleshoot, but this time, it didn't give a beep sound nor a green battery sign. My laptop still doesn't recognize the device. I dunno what to do. Please help me. It's really frustrating me. I tried looking for answers online but only got the same troubleshooting I did.

  • What can I do when I try to access a URL and get the message "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:"?

    I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK.  Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:".  I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf.  Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL?  And what can I do about the problem?  I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded.  Thanks.

    An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
    Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

  • MacBook (2008) doesn't recognize Acer K11 projector over HDMI

    I just bought an Acer K11 mini projector. Tried to hook it up with my MacBook (white, 2008) over a Mini DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable (HDMI goes into the projector), but the projector doesn't recognize a signal. The same cable/MacBook combination is working fine with my LCD-TV. So I guess the cables are okay.
    When I connect the projector over VGA (Mini DVI to VGA adapter and the VGA to VGA cable, which came with the projector), everything is working fine. So this means, the MacBook generally recognizes the Acer K11.
    My guess was, that the projectors HDMI port must have some problem. So I tried to hook up my second Mac, a MacBook Pro (2009), using a Mini Display Port to DVI adapter and the same DVI to HDMI cable I used with the MacBook. And I couldn't believe, this worked like a charm.
    So, fact is, the Acer K11's HDMI port doesn't talk to the MacBook or vice versa. But TV's HDMI port does. And Acer K11's HDMI port DOES talk to the MacBook Pro.
    (BTW, both Macs have Mac OS 10.6.4 installed.)
    Of course I'm familiar with the displays preference pane and tried all the settings.
    Does anyone have an explanation for that behaviour? Or even better, a solution to make it work?

    I tried SwitchResX now. Holy moly, this tool should have a big warning sign on it! I added the new resolution of 858x600px since the projector states this is his native resolution. I was not sure what to add for the frequency, so I typed in 50. I hooked up the projector, but still no signal. So I switched the resolution of the MacBook's display to 858x600, hoping this might make display synchronisation possible. What happend is, the display turned black and I had no possibility to go back. I did a restart, but as soon as the system was up, the screen turned black again.
    Lucky me I had a bootable back-up, from where I could trash SwitchResX and all the settings on the internal harddisk. No blame on SwitchResX. It seems to be a handy tool, as long as you really KNOW what you do.

  • Mini doesn't recognize airport

    My mini doesn't recognize the airport card. I have restarted my rounter, modem and my mac but no luck. All software on my Mini is up to date and other computers are connected to the network. The network tab in System Preferences doesn't give me an option to connect to airport.

    In this thread, your first post suggests you are running MacOS 10.4.8, but the second that you have 10.4.10. If you are running the latter, did the Airport work before and since stop? Perhaps around the time of the update?
    Do you see any sign of Airport, such as the empty fan in the menu bar?
    In the network preferences (and I apologize, I don't presently have a Mac running Tiger to test this on), when you click to add an interface and select Airport, does it then show the hardware to be present?
    Some time ago I was tracking a series of posts on www.macfixit.com which related to Airport issues in 10.4.10. It was suggested that if the Airport card was not recognized, to try an SMC reset (Intel Systems) or PMU Reset (PPC minis) Other issues could occasionally be resolved by removal of AppleAirport.kext, AppleAirport2.kext and AppleAiport3.kext files from the >System>Library>Extensions folder, but you would need a source of rreplacements, either from your existing MacOS install disk or the latest Airport Updater downloaded from Apple. In either case you'd need a utility called Pacifist to extract just those files. Sadly I don't have a Tiger system on hand to test that out at present.
    One troubleshooting step you might try is to create a new user account on the system and see if that account can 'see' the Airport card, thus indicating an issue at the user rather than systemwide level.
    It is a good sign however that the Airport hardware is seen by the profiler. Basically that means it's failure in the system is software.

  • Satellite A505 Doesn't Recognize HP Printer

    My Satellite A505 laptop doesn't recognize my HP Color LaserJet 2550L printer, when I connect them with a USB line.  I tried going to the HP site to download the drive for the 2550L, but that site said Windows 7 already had it! Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did not work.  I tried installing the printer and driver using the add printer function (per the video), and, while I got a message that said the printer had successfully installed, neither the test page, nor a second, 1-page Word document, would print --  even though the printer is on, with paper loaded, no jams, and a green light, the USB cable is in tight (printer and laptop), but I get a printer job status of "Error" whenever a job enters the print queue.
    Same thing happened when I tried to load the driver from the original disk that came with the printer (I suspect the original driver isn't ready for Windows 7, but I have Windows 7 set to "automatic update", so I'm expecting it to go onto the internet and find the newest version of my driver, one that IS compatible -- that's the whole point of the auto update function).  Another issue I encountered, when I tried to load the driver manually, from the original disk, was it came back with a pop-up window that advised loading the driver with the "Printer Wizard", so I know that had to be a pre-Windows 7 disk.
    FYI -- I had this same problem trying to use an old Brother Laserprinter at home -- the USB wouldn't recognize the printer.  Loaded it via Windows, but got printer error message on any document I tried to print.
    This should be so simple! Plug 'n Play, via USB.  Maddening!

  • IPhoto '09 doesn't recognize my Lumix DMC-ZS3

    iPhoto '09 doesn't recognize my new camera, a Lumix DMC-ZS3. It pops up on iPhoto as "NO NAME". I am able to import photos from it without a problem, although I have not done any videos yet, so I'm hoping this won't be an issue.
    Anyone else having a similar experience with their Lumix?
    Any way to get rid of "NO NAME" and get iPhoto to recognize the camera model?
    Any advice/tips about using this camera with iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problem with my new Panasonic ZS3. I am able to import pictures through iPhoto, but when I open iMovie ('09) and sync up the camera a dialogue box pops us saying "Looking for Cameras and Devices" and below it says Panasonic DMC-ZS3 (seemingly recognizing the camera). This runs for about 30 seconds and then it disappears (apparently never fully recognizing the camera). It never pulls up a screen with the videos on the camera available to be downloaded. After this dialogue box runs, I have tried clicking on the camera button on the toolbar and it says "No camera connected-to import video please select a camera". The Lumix has the option of shooting HD video in either AVCHD or Motion JPEG. I shot several videos in the AVCHD (which I thought iMovie would support) but they are not coming up! I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
