Can't download Ebook from my local library

When I download an ebook from my local library using ADE it won't download it into my ADE library only unto my computer (the book doesn't appear in my ADE libarary) so I can't transfer it to my Kobo. Both my Kobo and my Mac computer are activated with ADE. This function worked perfectly until last week so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but with no success. Help!

Reinstalling the software normally will not fix this kind of issue.
I'm not sure what 'feedback' you got from ADE when you did the
download. You should not have to go through this process. IF you have
registered with Adobe and obtained an Adobe ID, and then downloaded and
installed ADE, it will carry the registration information with it.
Libraries generally use Overdrive software, which checks for registered
copies of ADE or other ebook software on your computer during their
download process. When Overdrive finds that information, it will activate
ADE during the download process.
The normal process is:
Find the ebook on the library site and go through whatever process they
have to download it to your computer.
When the download starts, you should have an option as to whether to OPEN
or SAVE the ebook, and where to store it. Usually, when ADE is installed,
the location will be where the ADE library is located (My Digital Editions
folder).
Choose SAVE. The library will continue with the download process, open
ADE, and the ebook should appear in your ADE library.
Of course things can go wrong. For starters, if you did not register with
Adobe before you downloaded and installed ADE, then ADE might not open at
all, and the library will download the pointer file (ebooktitle.ascm) to
your computer. If this occurs, then you can 'grab' the ebook by finding
the file, then right-clicking on it and choosing 'Open With' from the
drop-down menu. ADE should show up in the list of programs that appear.
Choose ADE, and ADE should start to open the file.
ADE might open the ebook in Reading mode. If it does, then close the
ebook. Then, go to Library mode, and click on the small arrow next to the
word 'Library'. A drop-down menu will appear. Select 'Add Item To
Library', and ADE will open another window asking you to tell it what ebook
and where that ebook is. Fill in the information and ADE will add the
ebook to your library.

Why is Adobe Digital Editions unable to download an ebook from my local library?

I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

Yes Deborah,
Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
Hope that helps.

Can I download ebook from amazon

How do I download Ebooks from Amazon and read in IBook? I know there is a Kindle app for my IPad. But I like to use IBook for reading? Must I do some kind of conversion? If so how? The kind of books I read are more likely to be on amazon than in the IBook store.

I use Calibre all the time. As others have said: e-books purchased from Apple's iBookstore have Apple DRM unless the publisher specifically offered a DRM-free e-book. Kindle e-books have both an Amazon proprietary format and may have Kindle DRM too. None of these protected formats can be legally converted to anything else. If you have an e-book in open EPUB format, it should read fine on the iOS iBook devices, but it will never read on the Kindle becuase Bezos has said the Kindle will never support EPUB.
If you have a non-DRM protected e-book file in EPUB or any other format including some word processor files, chances are that Calibre can convert it to a readable file on the iPad, iPhone, Kobo or Kindle devices. Calibre is a format converter. Just play around with the source and destination menus on Calibre.
How well the book looks on the iBook or Kindle or whatever-reading device depends more on the quality of the source file than anything Apple does. I hope this helps.

Can I download ebooks from Amazon to My Ipad?

I used my netbook to download kindle ebooks directly to my Kindle Device and would like to know if I can download those that are say that are available for Amazon or Apple? I know I can download to my PC and transfer to my Appile Ipad but I thinkk there may be a way to download directly to my ipad just like it will to my Kindle Device but I don't know anything about electronics and and have no idea if this can be done or if I must downolad to my PC and transfer using a USB poirt? If I need to download the books via USB, could someone please tell me how to do this? I am totally illierate when it comes to electronics and I have no idea what can be done or how to do it? So, I would appreicate any any assistance you can provide. I have found most of you are so savvy in the electronic field and you are the ones who help me get through the basic's I sould know. But, I am a bit older than you guys and I am struggling to read my email and shop online. I have two sons who are electronic engineers but they are no help with me. They are into programming and networking andy they know how to do all thses things but cannot teach me. They take my computer and do what it needs but do not explain it to me. lol
I appreciate being able to bring my concerns to your attention and look forward to your epertise and any help I can get. I need to ask another question about downlloading CD's to my Apple Ipad. I have the 3rd generation with 32g memory. And I thought it should hold plenty ouof music but when my granddaughter downoad about 5 CD's she said I did not have enough memory for more?? It this all it will hold? I have a lot of email and games on my Ipad but only use a few and I have about 25 ebooks. I just had no idea what to expect but thought it would hold more that it is? I am not sure she did properly? I will go back and delete many of the songs on the CD's I don't want, but that still does not leave much room for more music. I do not watch movies or video's at all. Just play games and use my email. I may have my email set up to hold too many since I emails from 2011! I realize it is ridiiculous but I have not been well and just have not cleaned out my old emails. So, I save for a reason but most I just have not taken time to do becuase it takes so long to go through them individually and delete each one and there are some on each page that I want to keep. Is theire are way to archive old emails you may need later and if so, would it clear up space?
I have an Acer Netbook, AspireOne 721 without a CD drive and my computer shows, I have only used about 1/3 of the memory so it I should be okay but how can I determine the amount used on my Ipad? Please no laughing, I am doing the best I can for a disabled senoir citizen.
Thanks,
scmoonbeam

Download the Kindle App for your iPad. You can download and read all of your Amazon books and read them with the Kindle app.
Amazon.com: Kindle for iPad - Read Kindle eBooks on your iPad
There is no way that 5 CD's should be eating up all of the storage on your iPad. But if you have a ton of games on the iPad, they can take up a lot of space. But you can check your available space in Setrings>General>Usage>Storage.

You can use your iTunes music in a Droid. However, you cannot use iTunes to do the syncing the way you would with an Apple iDevice.

They are usually intended for mobile devices like iPhones, iPad's (and Kindle's) ... you need the Apple iBook app to read them.
Google for Stanza or eReader and it should do what you want.

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?

It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
