ADE launches but doesn't load book

Hi~
I have used ADE in the past successfully, the last time being about 4 months ago.  I am doing the same steps as I have in the past, but this time nothing happens.
I have an acsm file, downloaded from the same source as usual.  I double-click on it.  ADE launches, but the book doesn't appear in the libary.  There are no error messages.
I see the acsm file in the task folder.
The manifest.xml timestamp gets updated, but no messages. I deleted this file, and all the old epubs reloaded, but no new ones.
No new messages in the error log or import log.
I run Mac OSX 10.7.5
I have ADE 1.7.2.1131
Is there something that needs to be upgraded? 
Thanks for any insights.

  • "open with" launches CS5, but doesn't load JPG?

    I am a newbie to Mac, but loving it. When I right-mouse click an image file (such as a JPG) and choose "open with" Photoshop CS5, Photoshop launches but doesn't open the image. The image opens fine from the CS5 open dialog box. "Open with" works well for my other apps. I don't want to permanently associate CS5 to my image files. I've spent hours searching the net for an answer only to find this same question in a couple of places with no replies.
    I'm running an 8 core MacPro with OS X 10.6.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, CS5 rocks!

    In trying to download itunes 11, I keep getting the message, verfiy that you have access to parental advisory. When I click yes it continually re tries but doesn`t load. Any ideas ???
    Actual message
    Error writing to file;C:\programs files(x86)\itunes.resourses\da.lproj\parentaladvisory.png. Verfiy that you have access to that directory.

    Sorry I can't help but I do get the same error. Previous versions of iTunes on Win XP machine ran fine. I have uninstalled, rebooted, and tried a new install but still get the same error. I can access the directory via Windows Explorer so not sure why the error says it can't access the directory.

  • Flash flashes but doesn't load - help

    I have put up a new site ( we bought it and reimplemented it)
    and one game is not working. It flashes and doesn't load.....
    Any ideas?
    It's the crossword puzzle on
    http://www.vocabulary.co.il

    We wrote a new home page to make it work but we are NOT happy
    with our solution. The original home page had security in it so if
    people bookmarked the .swf files, their session was forced to start
    at the highest level.
    There was also other stuff but we took it all out to make it
    work. Now we'll slowly put it back in.

  • My iPod opens my apps, but doesn't load them or update them. Help!

    So basically, let's take Snapchat as an example. I have WiFi. It opens. But then says that I have no internet connection or whatever so it cant update. YouTube however, doesn't load at all. As for my other apps, they open but don't load. Also when I take a picture I see it in the lower left corner but if I tap it all I see is a picture I took a while ago. I'm not sure what to do, and am really scared..could someone help?
    Thank you in advance,

  • Firefox opens but doesn't load any pages

    Firefox will open but doesn't respond to any page directions. It's been removed a reintalled, data histories cleared, yet still nothing. IE works fine, so it's not a connection problem. The error consul is reporting chrome manifests as malfunctioning, but I don't know what this means. The program itself has not crashed.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Creative Cloud installed but doesn't load apps

    Please refer to :

  • Windows 7 - jpg "open with" launches PSE11 but doesn't load photo.

    In Windows 7 explorer
    I can't just right click on a jpg file to open and then load the photo into Photoshop Elements 11.
    PSE11 loads properly but with an empty workspace. I then must do a file, browse, open, etc. to
    find my photo.
    This has resulted after removing and reinstalling PSE11.
    I did this because of possible curruption with my Straightening Tool. (The line is very thin and only
    partially appears.) The reinstall did not resolve this problem and created the "open with" problem.
    Thanks,

  • Safari launches, but will not load pages

    I've been running Snow Leopard since it came out, and Safari has been working fine, so I don't think this is an issue related to that.
    Today it became terribly slow. Now when I launch it it gets stuck on trying to load my home page, or if I try launching a webpage from a URL in Mail, the URL will come up at the top of the window above the Navigation toolbar; i.e. above the URL field, but not in the URL field. In this latter case, the "Loading" does not even appear. In either case, I get the spinning color wheel. There's no way to clear the cache or history from within Safari, in the event that might be part of the problem (can these be done from the Finder?).
    I ran Disk Utility. No problems with Permissions or the Disk.
    What can I do to get it working again?

    /Library/InputManagers has a folder Smart Crash Reports, last modified Nov 30, 2006. It doesn't let me trash it. There is no Home/Library/InputManagers.
    I deleted:
    LastSession.plist
    History.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    There was no Form Values.
    Other items in the same folder which I didn't touch are:
    Bookmarks.plist
    data03a9.0bf
    Downloads.plist
    HistoryIndex.sk
    Icons.db
    LocalStorage [folder]
    SearchProviders.plist.signed
    I deleted Cookies.plist
    In that same folder there's also these items that I didn't touch:
    Cookies.plisttmp_1510.dat
    Cookies.plisttmp_13600.dat
    After doing this, Safari is still stuck trying to load my homepage.

    When I run the file from my computer, it works perfectly and connects great but if I run it from a friends computer it seems to download the files, no errors but then nothing happens? Any ideas?

  • Creative cloud launches but does not load - using windows 7 PC

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but when Creative cloud launches, the wheel turns and stops and it remains blank. Can anyone help please.
    Since asking this I opened Acrobat and it asked me to sign in which I did and now Creative Cloud launches and loads.
    New Question - How do I get Creative Cloud to recognise me when it loads?

    Branching this to a new discussion.
    NPotter.UK please make sure you are using version 1.2.1.260 or later of the Creative Cloud desktop application.  You can find more details at Creative Cloud desktop missing text | Windows 8.1 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html.

  • IDVD launches, but doesn't function.

    It allows me to use that nifty menu to select how I can start the project, asks me where to save it, but from there it seems to stop responding. The menus on the top bar do not respond.

    Run Disk Utility and repair permissions and verify the disk. If the verification indicates repairs are needed than do so.
    If the above doesn't help, log into another account and try from there. If iDVD does launch and work as it should then the problem is with your account. If iDVD still doesn't work as it should a reinstall of iDVD would be warranted. If you do try a reinstall of iDVD you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iDVD" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If iDVD works in the other account it could be a preference file, other than iDVD's, that is conflicting with it. Here's how to determine if that's the case.
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .

  • Firefox opens but doesn't load any page after clean installation

    I uninstalled firefox (incl. preferences and profiles) and installed ff 3.6.13. At first launch and starting up, the ff icon appears in the dock but then the icon is replaced by another ff icon in a kind of never seen icon-replacement-animation in the dock. After that the three dialogs for import etc. appear, after that the icon-replacement-animation takes place in the dock again and then a browser window with two tabs is displayed but neither
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.13/firstrun/
    nor
    http://en-US.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
    is loaded, just white pages without any error message. Trying to load any other page does the same, just a blank page.
    I also started in safe mode and disabled and reset everything but nothing helps.
    What's wrong?

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • Youtube on Pearl 8120 - says loading but doesn't load

    I know this has been talked about elsewhere, but I've yet to find a solution.  A lot of sites have said that the Pearl 8120 should support youtube with OS 4.5, which I have.  However, when I click to play a video my media player opens and it says "Loading"  . . . forever.  There's no error message.  The phone doesn't freeze and I can exit any time, but no matter how long I wait it says "Loading." 
    I'm using m.youtube.com and my internet (through wi-fi) and media player have worked fine so far.  Does anybody know how to fix this?  Some have said they've found workarounds by downloading the videos to their cards and playing them from there.  Is there a way to do that from the phone?  I don't see that option.

    Hello, connarbentley. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test opening the Photo App on your device to see if they load.  If the issue persists, see the second article below.
