Trouble authorizing Digital Editions 3.0

I've downlaoded Digital Editions 3.0 for Mac, but when I try to open an ebook, the following message appears: Activation Server error - code E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED. I've clicked 'Try Again' several times, but without success. Does anybody have any helpful hints? Thanks :-)

yes - my installation/upgrade worked as expected (although, 'your mileage may vary')

How do I authorize my Sony PRS-T1 WiFi so I can transfer my ebooks from my Authorized Digital Editio

How do I authorize my Sony PRS-T1 WiFi so I can transfer my ebooks from my Authorized Digital Editions? The reader is not showing up in the left pane. I am using the USB cable. My operating system is Windows 7

Is it showing up as an external drive or similar in Explorer?
For most Sonys you need to install the Sony Reader software even if you don't want to use it. It also installs a driver that is needed for the Sony to be recognized by ADE. (Silly that that is necessary. Sony make good hardware, but they have always let themselves down on the software side.)
Some Sony's don't work well with ADE2.0 and Overdrive library books. If you have an issue there, try installing 1.7.2 instead.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Can I de-authorize an account on Adobe Digital Editions, or authorize more than one account?

I have Adobe Digital Editions, and had authorized it to an email account that was hijacked and later deleted. Now, I want to change to a new account, and it WILL NOT admit that it is possible to do so. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Digital Editions, and it still insists that it's authorized to a dead account.
Can I undo this? I'd like to check out ebooks through my library, and can't without authorizing Digital Editions to my current email.

If you don't have any bought books from the old account you still want to use,
probably easier to make a brand new Adobe account to your current email than to mend the old account.
ctrl-shift-D should deauthorize the account ADE is currently using.
If you have devices linked to the old account, use ctrl-shift-E to ADE while the device is plugged in.

Previewing epub in adobe digital editions, it says "author unknown"

I filled in all the metadata in InDesign (CS5.5), exported to epub, opened to preview in Adobe Digital Editions. All looks good, except it says "author unknown." Does anyone know about this? How to get "author name" to show up?

Thanks, Steve. Since I'd naively applied styles after having created the indd book, I'd had to apply styles to each doc. in the epub files, so now I've put the metadata into each of those files, and lo and behold, now the author name shows up in ADE. Much thanks for the tip.

Ererer1936 I would recommend posting your inquiry in the Adobe Digital Editions forum.

How to add author's name to existing entry in Adobe Digital Editions

I have several books listed as Author: Unknown in my Adobe Digital Editions. After removing these titles from Digital Edition's library, I have added the authors names to a file with these books, and then added them into Digital Editions, but it still shows Author: Unknown.

I suspect you need to change the author somewhere in the metadata.
Are these DRM books or non-DRM?
If they are DRM, it may be difficult to change.
If they are non-DRM, try using the free Calibre ( http://calibre-ebook.com/ ) instead of ADE;
it has more editing features and is generally a better written program.

Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

Can't open book from library on computer or nook in digital editions. message-"the vendor you entered is not asso. with the item you are trying to open. try again." I have de-authorized and reauthorized and still not working.

I had to do a reinstall of windows 7 recently and now have had to download library access and digital editions. Can't get books to transfer correctly to Nook and can't even open them on the computer in Digital Editions. Keep getting messages that not authorized to open protected book and/or the above message. Have followed instructions to deauthorize and reauthorize. Also get message when I try to open book. "This document is licensed for a different user account."

This is the Adobe Reader forum; please ask in the Digital Editions forum.

I have downloaded overdrive on my windows 8.1 and authorized it for digital editions how to download my library book on overdrive bookshelf to my kobo

I have downloaded overdrive on my windows 8.1 and authorized it for digital editions How do I download the library book on overdrive to my kobo

This is probably the article that you were referring to with the registry fix:
"Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
stop unexpectedly..."
This article was updated to state that the registry workaround is no longer required, as the Update has a fix in it. However, you still might want to check the power settings and make sure 'suspend' is disabled.
Hope this helps,

Authorizing a Kobo e-reader for Adobe Digital Editions

I am having trouble authorizing my Kobo e-reader for Adobe Digital Editions. As a result, I am unable to drag and drop epub files from my computer to my Kobo device. I have an Adobe ID, but when I attempt to complete the authorization process for my device, I receive a message stating "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or device, Please try again." I am not aware that I previously authorized and other computer or device. Any suggestions?

I contacted Adobe Customer Service about the problem and the service representative said it was a "technical question" and could be addressed by the Forum participants, which, according to the Adobe website, include "experts".

I would like to know how to transfer ebooks from one laptop to another with adobe digital editions both authorized with the same adobe ID.

Stop using the account.
You need do nothing more.
You will need to authorize your computer for both accounts as you have purchased from both accounts.

Trouble with authorizing devices with Adobe Digital Editions

I am attempting to authorize my computer and my Nook Simple Touch to ADE. I get the following error: "E_AUTH_NOT_READY Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server". Is your server down or is the problem on my end?

Hello,
You may not have deauthorized ADE 1.7.2.
If you haven't, try launching ADE 1.x and hold ctrl+shift+D keys to deauthorize.
Once you have done it, try authorizing ADE2.0.
======================
If you're still facing issues, contact technical chat support, for step by step assistance.
This issue can be resolved by deleting adept key from Windows registry.

Trouble Authorizing Computer with Adobe Digital Editions

I'm unable to authorize my computer with Adobe Digital Editions. It just gets 'stuck' on the authorizing computer page, it tells me to wait whilst the green bar moves backwards and forwards for hours. I've tried reinstalling the software but it didn't help.
I searched for help and there was mention of reducing my security settings, which would these be? I'm using Windows 7, I've tried switching off all firewalls and I'm using the administrator account.
I'm not very tech savy so any advise in simple terms would be appreciated! Many thanks

I have the same problem. I am also running Windows 7, however, within VirtualBox. I hope this makes no difference.
I switched off firewall and reduced security settings to the lowest level. I installed and afterwards started the software having admin rights.
The problem occurs with ADE 2, 3 and 4.
The authorizations does not have an end. The green bar is moving for hours with the message "authorization running".
Can anyone help??

E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER after I switched from authorized by computer to authorized by ID on the same book, how can I open open that same book? I downloaded the book again, reinstalled the digital edition but no help? If anybody can answer that would be a great help.

Hi Shreya,
That answer seems to work in purchased books but in my case I dont know who is the ebook provider in lebrary. I asked library people and they did not give me any contact to reset the activation. I will try again to find out that contact. I was wondering if there is any way at our side so we can fix this. Probably there is nothing. Thanks anyway.
