Can't get books into Library

Hi! Thank you Advance for your help with this.
Just downloaded from internet using Mozilla Firefox a couple books onto my MAC, told it to go to Adobe Digital additions. I can go to add the books using ADE and find them but they are greyed out and do not give me the option to ADD neither from Thumbnail or from Annotations. Tried to drag them into the Library also, and it will not let me do that either.
I have been reading through this forum, tried some of the suggestions, but they did not work for me. I tried the one about having ABE in Libray Mode when downloading, still does not work.
I can open the books in ADE by clicking on it in Downloads, but just not in the library. Library is just empty.
Thank You Again!

Cleves,
I have as one of my issues the same one as yours. Can see, but can not add a book to the library either by the add a book or double clicking on a acsm file from overdrive book checkout, although mine is not greyed out, it just won't load into the library. Don't know if this relates to you or not, but It might.
I posted the below in an earlier post here and got no response, so I then emailed my library for assistance who forwarded to overdrive. I am posting here the response from overdrive. FYI: I can get it to work by creating the new account, but I don't want to have to log out and log in another account just to read a book. I feel that Adobe or overdrive or whoever is responsible for account issues should be able to resolve the account issue on my main account login. Adobe won't talk to you without putting up some money first though and who knows if it will get resolved.
Here is the information that was provided:
Brief Description/problem area: does not apply
Detailed Description: Mac OSX 10.6.7 Current version of ADE I must
have a local issue on my iMac, because I don't have this problem on
my laptop with the same settings and account information. I check
out an epub book from my library via Over Drive, get the acsm
file. Double click on it. ADE opens, but no book ever appears in
the library screen. Every time I attempt it I get another incident
of a task in the task folder. All previous books, have been
returned. I did have one task that kept popping up on a previous
book that I had already downloaded successfully, telling me that it
still needed to complete. And everytime that I tried to follow the
process, it failed. I finally found the task folder and deleted
that task and it never returned. I was able to download one further
book after that and then no more. I don't get an error, just no
response to the download request other than opening ADE. I followed
the lame instructions on Over Drive to clear my browser cache, also
to no avail. Also copying the epub from my laptop to the iMac and
double clicking on it doesn't resolve the probelm either. Today I
tried the delete and reinstall of ADE routine to no avail. Not sure
what other information I can provide. Can anyone assist me on this?
Thank you.
Hi ..we forwarded your problem to the OverDrive support team and their reply is below:
From the information provided, it appears that Adobe Digital Editions opens
when you click the .ACSM file but it only display the main window and does not
begin downloading your title.
In previous cases where this problem has occurred on Mac computers, there was
an issue with the 'user account' on the Mac OS itself. If you have another
'user account' on your Mac, we would like to have you attempt to download your
titles under that account.
If you do not have another 'user account', please create another one by going
to 'Apple | System Preferences | User Accounts'. You may also follow the steps
at the Apple support link below for creating another user account. Please be
sure that you create an account with 'Administrator' privileges.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Once you have created another account, please use this account to download
Adobe eBook titles from your library. Please note, you will need to authorize
Adobe Digital Editions with an Adobe ID under the new Mac user account. You
should be able to use the same Adobe ID that was used to authorize Adobe
Digital Editions previously.

Help! songs on external drive can't get back into library

Hi everyone,
My PC laptop internal HD crashed last week. 3000+ songs on external hard drive designated D: I had a new intrernal HD installed, downloaded iTunes 7.3 and now am stuck. What is the easy way to get the external HD songs back in the library? Went to preferences>advanced and changed to D:\Music 2007 to match the EHD desigantion with no luck.
I have read countless posts and tried different methods. If I go to the "my computer" and click on External HD, I see the files and can double click and they will copy into the library one by one as I do this, but this will be too time consuming to do each one this way.
On the EHD the folder is designated D:\Music 2007. Any help is appreciated. I've tried to import, consolidate and a few other attempts with no luck. I don't see a "itl" or other type of file in the D: drive either like I've read on other posts. Have tried the shift key while launcing itunes as well with no luck.
Please help,

Drag the folder Music 2007 on your D: drive to the Library listing in the iTunes Source List (left-hand column).
This will recreate the contents of your Library but not the playlists and related information (dates added, play counts, etc.)
Unfortunately, if you don't have a copy of the iTunes library files from your old hard drive, it's probably the best you can do.

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I am new to IPhoto 9.5 and I think I missed a step. I uploaded pictures but they do not appear as an event in my library. They are in Last imported only. How can I get them into event.

I am new to IPhoto 9.51 and I think I missed a step when I uploaded my vacation pictures. I uploaded pictures but did not import them into the library. They are in L\last imported only. How can I get them into events?

If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

No matter what i try I can't get my LOST library...FOUND!!!

Okay so I have tried everything here and I just can't get my old library back. Today when I went to open Iphoto it was the same thing
Iphoto cannot find Library
buttons
Quit Create a new library Find a library
After trying to find the old one I tried creating a new one, I found some of my pictures but only pictures that I had seperated into different Albums none that I had just left in the ordinary library. I could only recall about 326 photos out of 2300. Once I realized that I couldn't get back all of the photos I came on to here to get some help. I followed so many of the suggestions
ie: exiting out and reopeing Iphoto while holding down the option button, but I could still only recall the 326, so I then went into the Library preferences and tried to delete the com.apple.iphotoplist. and tried reopening it. I still can't find them. I searched for the .jpg and still only the 326 are there. There is no way that I could have deleted them, I havn't put any new pictures on in months and I havn't downloaded any programs. I now have 2 libraries
IPhoto Library
IPhotoLibrary1
And they both only have the 326 that I could recall. I have never used the Forum before, and I actually don't know all that much about computers
ie: I don't know what the spotlight search is
and I am still despretly trying to find the other 2000 pcitures I hope someone has some more advice. please =(

Hello, Katie,
Sorry for your photo loss problems.
I am not understanding what you did before you lost them.
The 326 pictures that I had found, I found them in the albums that I had copied them into, prior to the problem
Are you meaning that you put photos into albums within iPhoto? Those 'photos' are only alias that point to your iPhoto Library where the photos are actually stored. If you put them into albums in iPhoto, the originals don't get copied and should still be in the iPhotoLibrary.
So, I don't think I understand what 'albums' you mean, unless you moved them yourself, outside iPhoto.
As you are finding, when iPhoto loads, it looks into iPhotoLibrary files to find and load your photos. Usually, these are in your Pictures folder. If you have moved the photos to some other folders, iPhoto is not finding them because they are not where it looks. If you have not deleted the photos, you should be able to find them by searching on your hard drive for the .jpgs if that is the format for your photos.
If you have tampered with iPhotoLibrary's files and folders, you may have caused serious problems. See this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165521
If your search for the photos on your HD found only the 326 photos, then they are gone. You must have deleted them somehow. You might try a Data recovery program such as these: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php?PHPSESSID=6644886d9d018b32492d16da027253c4

For the future.....always make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Our photos are too precious to trust having them in only one location.

Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPad

Have a current movie on my computer and can't get it into ITunes so I can put on my IPAd. I tried dragging from desktop and nothing happens, also tried adding file or folder to library and nothing happens.

Convert your movie to quicktime or another format iTunes can play.
If you can add it and play it in iTunes, it will also work on the iPad.

How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

Gorgeous Hello All,
If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
A hurdle :-
I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
-> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
(I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
Help Please

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it
