Can ADE be used with Windows 8.1?

My old computer with ADE crashed.  Do I need to reinstall on my new PC which has Windows 8.1?  Can you give me instructions as to how to do that?  I'm a senior lady and not very technically savvy, so the more detailed your instructions, the easier it will be for me to follow.   Thank you.

Are you using ADE to read bought books, library books, or only free books?
If only free books, I suggest you install the superior free Calibre instead (http://calibre-ebook.com/)
For bought or library books you do need to install ADE on the new machine.
You will also need to register it with your Adobe ID; the same one you used on the last machine.
If you can't remember that ID or the password, ask, and we may be able to help.
I will give instructions for the latest version of ADE (2.0.1), even though I am afraid it has more problems than the old one it is more 'standard'.
Goto http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/digital-editions/download.html
Click on the 'Download Digital Edition 2.0.1 Windows (5.6 MB)'  (you can go direct to http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_2.0_Installer.exe if you prefer)
When it has downloaded you must open/run it.  If you are using Internet Explorer, choose the Run option when you start the download.
It should now go through a fairly standard install procedure, asking if it is ok to run the program, etc etc
Take the easy 'yes' or equivalent option at each step.
When it is safely installed, run it.  It should have put an icon on the desktop.
You now need to authorize ADE. 
Use ctrl-shift-U which will open up a dialog asking for your Adobe ID and password.
You should now be able to use it pretty much as you used ADE on your old machine.
Good luck.  Unfortunately not a very easy process even when all works well, and there are several things that can go wrong.
Don't hesitate to ask again if you need help.

    can bootcamp be used with Windows install disk on an external drive (internal is broken) ?

    With Boot Camp, you must install Windows onto in internal HDD (or SSD).  If you are referring that your internal Optical drive is broken, you might be able to install Windows from an external drive, but you might not.  I have heard varying levels of success with that.  I'm not sure what the official stance is, but I do know that if youe machine shipped with an internal optical drive, then you must use that to install Windows using Boot Camp and not swap it out for a "data doubler" and try to install from an external optical drive.

  • I cannot continue to use my external hard disk which I used with windows. OS 10.8 can read it but declares the disk as "read only". Is there a way to change this?

    Hallo everyone,
    I just tried my external disk on my Macbook air and I cannot save data to it any longer. This external disk was used with windows. Now i want to use it with macbookAir as I have changed my computer. It seems that OSX.10.8.5 can read the data on this external drive but when I try to save new data to it (pdf documents from the web for example) it refuses to save the data ans the message I get is that my drive is "read only". Please is there a way to change this or do I have to format the re-format the external drive?
    Thanks for your help

    You will have to reformat the drive for use with a Mac.

    i have ipod classic contens i tunes 4. earlier i was using with windows xp but now i would like to install it in windows 7. how can i?

    Thanks to all for reviewing my question.  I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again.  If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it.  Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it?  Thanks again.  Tom

  • Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

    I'm getting the following error message when attempting to invoke "Find My Mac"
    Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

    You have no recovery partition. This is a normal condition if your boot volume is a software RAID, or if you modified the partition table after running Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Otherwise, you need to reinstall OS X in order to add a recovery partition.
    If you don't have a current backup, you need to back up before you do anything else.
    You have several options for reinstalling.
    1. If you have access to a local, unencrypted Time Machine backup volume, and if that volume has a backup of a Mac (not necessarily this one) that was running the same major version of OS X and did have a Recovery partition, then you can boot from the Time Machine volume into Recovery by holding down the option key at the startup chime. Encrypted Time Machine volumes are not bootable, nor are network backups.
    2. If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or later preinstalled, or if it's one of the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery, you may be able to netboot from an Apple server by holding down the key combination option-R  at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
     Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication. 
    3. Use Recovery Disk Assistant (RDA) on another Mac running the same major version of OS X as yours to create a bootable USB device. Boot your Mac from the device by holding down the option key at startup.Warning: All existing data on the USB device will be erased when you use RDA.
    Once you've booted into Recovery, the OS X Utilities screen will appear. Follow the prompts to reinstall OS X. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    If none of the above choices is open to you, then you'll have to start over from an OS X 10.6.8 installation. There's no need to overwrite your existing boot volume; you can use an external drive. Install 10.6 from the DVD you originally used to upgrade, or that came with the machine. Run Software Update and install all available updates. Log into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy 10.7 or later, and download the installer. When you run it, be sure to choose the right drive to install on.

    Hello,
    Yes, for the Windows Authentication to work you should be using the same Windows account and password.
    Are you willing to create SQL logins inside SQL Server and allow your users to connect to SQL Server using SQL Authentication
    instead of Windows Authentication? That could be a solution on a workgroup network.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is "sp_purge_data" available only to datawarehouses or can it be used with both a normal database and Azure storage as well ?

    Is "sp_purge_data" available only to datawarehouses or can it be used with both a normal database  and Azure storage as well ?

    Thank you for the reply Qiuyun , the article was really helpful!
    I do have couple of other questions for you :
    How do we execute our SQL queries on Windows Azure tables and create horizontal partitions ? (I know that we have our SQL Server management Studio to execute normal queries on a SQL database , do we have a similar platform for Azure or do we have to get a local
    copy of the database to execute our queries and the  publish everything back to Azure)? I am looking to partition data on one of our databases and would like to know if it can be done in Azure directly or if we have to bring a local copy down ,write the
    partition function and
    and partition scheme or create a partition key and a row key - do the needful and publish it back to Azure?
    Also, how do I create a partition key and row key in Windows Azure?
    I am in the process of designing data archiving strategy for my team and would like to know more about the questions I just mentioned.
    Hoping to hear back from you soon.
    Thanks in advance for all the help!
