Can I reauthorise my computer and ereader?

I made the mistake of selecting the wrong button after I signed into Adobe Editions and now I cannot download books from the library. I'm not sure if my ereader is authorised or not any more.

To authorize your ADE, menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
To authorize your eReader, first authorize the computer then with the device plugged in, menu/Help/Authorize Device.
Sometimes you get confused authorization: more below but in summary in that case deauthorize and reauthorize
deauthorize computer: ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac)
deauthorize device: ctrl-shift-E (cmd-shift-E on Mac) while plugged in and running ADE
~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.

Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
First try SMC and PRAM resets:

Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

HT1420 Can I reauthorise a computer I deauthorised by mistake?

Have de-authorised laptop belonging to my ex. It had my iphone synched to it. I saved a copy of itunes folder on a flashdrive but when i tried to delete new itunes library on new laptop and copy in old saved one, it seems to have been oversaved by Apple with new itunes library which only has content purchased from iTunes. So most of my music is gone ( but still on my iPhone.)
Im wondering if the saved copy got replaced because I had deauthorised the old laptop I saved the copy from?
I think the only way to get my music library back is by using homesave. Would be great if I could re authorise the laptop rather than call my ex, Can anyone help?

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but when you reach the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

HT5649 Our family has a shared computer with itune software. We have multiple apple devices and multiple itunes accounts. Can we share the computer and iTunes software to back up each apple device separately?

How do multiple users with multiple devices share one computer with iTunes software to back up multiple devices and individual iTune libraries?

Hi Goodguy147,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The easiest way to have multiple users with multiple devices share a single computer is to create a User Account on your Windows PC for each person. Each person should also have a unique Apple ID. That will keep each individual's iTunes Library separate from the others and each individual can associate and backup several devices to their iTunes library.
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
The article below is a troubleshooting article for Windows. I'm just quoting the section from it that explains how to create user accounts:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717?viewlocale=nl_nl
Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.

Can't rename my computer and start new TM backup

Three techs at Apple have not been able to help me.
I have been backing up a PowerBook G4 and MacBook to a TC wirelessly, and now the MacBook BU stopped working but the PB continues OK. The sparsebundles are different sizes; PB 115 GB, MB 151 GB. After many gyrations with my MB sparsebundle, all unsuccessful, the tech suggested I start fresh with new computer name for my MB (the old name was firstname lastname's computer). So my new computer name is firstnameMacBook. After preparing to do a backup for more than an hour I get the error message "The backup disk image could not be mounted". Same error message I had when my MB BU stopped working. So a name change had no effect. Should I change the name of the existing old sparesbundle? Should I delete it? How? What?
What to do?
Bruce

Sorry. I should have been clearer. I was just wondering if it was ok to do so.
I had taken my partners computer. Re-installed Leopard, then when I went to do the time machine backup it just started using the original sparse bundle that was technically my partners. I wasn't sure how to get it to start another and wanted to check first if it was ok the rename a sparse bundle?
For interest sake. I did rename the original bundle and this forced the Macbook to start a new sparse bundle.
I wanted to keep the original sparse bundle that was my partners in case we had any trouble with my partners new computer set up and migration.
Hope that all makes sense now.
Thanks

My iPod is disabled and says connect to iTunes we are on vacation and I do not have access to my computer it is synced with can I use another computer and how would I do that?

How do you restore a disabled itouch if you do not have access to. Your home computer .

You have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Since the other computer will not have a your iPod backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod. You iPod will be empty of contacts, calender, apps, music and other item you added to the iPOd.

How do I deactivate LR3 so I can reinstall after cleaning computer and reinstalling Windows7 64 bit

It is not the same as with my PS5. Or can I simply reinstall without deactivating 1st

As Jim says, just make sure you have your License key / keys handy.

Firefox has turned into a blackhole and is COMPLETELY unresponsive. I can't restart my computer and force quit doesn't do anything. Please Help

No article or FAQ on this website is even moderately relevant to this seemingly unsolvable problem.

All the articles pose solutions that require you to perform an action within Firefox; which isn't very helpful, given that my Firefox window is a black rectangle with a white box in the middle.
It might also be helpful to know that this "blackhole" occurred when I was about to view a YouTube video..
Any other suggestions?

I am trying to fill in a form in adobe exportpdf. How can I fill in numbers and symbols? Parenthesis, dollar sign etc.

I am trying to fill in a form in adobe exportpdf. How can I fill in numbers and symbols? Parenthesis, dollar sign etc.

Hi;
Can you provide a little more detail, maybe a screenshot? ExportPDF only converts PDFs to other file types, what exactly are you using to try to fill out the form? The two Adobe form filling tools I would recommend would be:
1) Adobe Reader - a free download you can install on your computer and can be used to fill out most any form. For numbers, symbols etc it can depend on the field you are entering data into, some fields have restrictions, but you would use those keys on your keyboard, if nothing is entered then that field probably has restrictions.
2) Adobe Fill & Sign: https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign - using the Fill & Sign tab on the acrobat.com website you can fill out most PDFs. To enter numbers, symbols, etc you would simply add them using your keyboard.
Thanks,
Josh

I set up my iPad mini without a computer and now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad

I set up my iPad mini without a computer and have been using it for months. Now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad or restore from back up (Which I don't have).
Is there a way I can connect to my computer and itunes without losing everything I've done on it for the past months?

Go ahead and set it up as new. It's just new as far as iTunes is concerned. Shouldn't result in the loss of anything.

Can I reauthorise my computer and ereader?
