Can't install Digital Editions

Downloaded Digital Editions 2.0 and clicked Run, I agreed to EULA, accecpted the default install option, it appeared to install OK and Digital Editions started but did not ask me to activate. I clicked on Help and a message appeared "Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have tried uninstalling and re downloading with the same problem. Computer is an AMD 2800+, Win XP Home SP3. Any Suggestions?

Hi
Here is the link I was given:

I have now tested it by downloading one of the books from adobe's sample ebook library. It opened in ADE fine but I haven't tried transfering to my ereader yet.
Good luck

How can I finish installing Digital Editions 1.7.2, and save my library and annotations?

In order to migrate my library from my old PC, the first thing I did was to install Digital Editions version 1.7.2 on my new PC. I couldn't install version 3 right away because then I'd lose thousands of annotations. I have to figure out what additional steps are needed to complete the migration and in what order.
I will copy all files in the \My Digital Editions directory from the old PC to the new PC. I also have to be sure the new PC can find my PDF files and notes in the directories on my new PC. This requires editing the MANIFEST XML file to change the PDF directory locations. I hope that's the only XML editing I need to do, since I don't know XML.
I understand from another user (sjpt) that I may need to "deregister ADE on the new machine (ctrl-shift-D) and then reregister it." That may be due to Digital Rights Management. So I will activate my new computer with Digital Editions using an ID. I expect to do that step last, since I have just a few books with DRM.
I plan to perform these steps in the order I've described them. I think I've identified all the steps needed to get Digital Editions 1.7.2 working. I'd welcome advice from other users who have experience in migrating their libraries. Thanks
P.S. Documentation on Digital Editions seems pretty minimal, so I'm wondering if Adobe is phasing out the product.

You can start by asking in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions. This is the Reader one.

Can't activate Digital Editions

Can't activate Digital Editions. Error: E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Activate 2012-09-02T13:32:48-07:00%20(1346617968000)%20is%20before%202012-09-02T14:06:49-07:00%20( 1346620009678) I checked date and time zone of computer (and tried all possibilities. I have moved from Ghana to Europe to Canada in recent years). Also activated immediately after download, so 'good until' time should not have passed. What now?

Thanks A LOT!! I have been going crazy for the past hour trying to understand why I kept getting that error message when I tried to authorize my computer. I even contacted customer service through chat but they couldn't help me.
So yes, same thing as you : the way to finally manage to authorize the computer was to CHANGE THE TIME. Actually, funnily enough, what worked for me was changing the Time Zone. I think it's based on what address or city you give when you register.
For example, for me, I had the right time for my city, but the wrong Time Zone. Once everything matched, it worked.
So for those of you who get that "REQUEST_EXPIRED" error message, you now know what to do!

Cannot install Digital Editions

Trying to install digital editions onto a PC with Windows 7. If I select to do it as "current user" it claims "unable to elevate to administrative rights, error 6;" if I try to do it as Administrator it asks for a password without specifying which of the hundreds of passwords I have I am to use. If I use the password for the Adobe account I recently created, it claims the information is not correct. Why should a simple installation be so complicated?

Thanks, but that seems like a pretty obscure password, created, in this
case, some 4 years ago and used again since. Do you know how one finds
one's Windows 7 password?

How can I deploy Digital Edition 2.0 through SCCM?

Hello all,
I would like to know how I can deploy Digital Edition through my company's SCCM solution. When I create my usual setup for new software to be deployed, I get the Digital Edition package sent out correctly to my test machines, but nothing gets installed. It just stands forever and tries to install, then when I reset the machines, it gives me an error that I reset doing installation. But I know it wasn't even really trying to install the software.
Is there an msi file somewhere I can download and distribute to my users?
Kind regards,
Kasper

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
Kwy28 the Adobe Digital Editions software was not designed to be deployed. You will either want to ask the users who need to use the software to install it individually or install it on one system and then use a utility like Norton Ghost to make an image of that computer.

How to install Digital Editions correctly?

I've tried downloading Digital Editions several times, but still cannot download ebooks from the Library. I never had a window open to ask for authorization for my computer. Tried to follow several sets of instructions (See below) , but am not successful. Don't know what to do next. Help.
Part II: Adobe Digital Editions
1. Using your home computer, go to the library’s website: www.sdcl.org. Click on
the “downloads” link on the left side of the page, select “ebooks,” and then select
“OverDrive.”
2. On the left, there is a purple bar. Scroll down past the browsing options until you
see links for “OverDrive Media Console” and “Adobe Digital Editions”. Click on
“Adobe Digital Editions”. Click again on “Download Adobe Digital Editions” (there
is a brown icon with an open book).
3. A new window will open up and take you to Adobe’s site. Follow the directions
from Adobe to download and install Adobe Digital Editions.
4. Adobe Digital Editions will open after it has been installed on your computer. The
first time it opens, it will prompt you to authorize your computer with Adobe. You
will need an Adobe ID to do this. If you already have an Adobe ID, you can enter
it now. If you do not, click on the link provided to create an Adobe ID. Your
computer will open a web page to Adobe’s site and you can follow the
instructions to create an ID.
5. Once you have authorized your computer, you will be able to check out and
download titles.

Having challenges installing Digital Editions 2.0 and having the program initialize correctly.

I need to install Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) 2.0 so I can download books for my daughter's Nook from our local library.
I have tried installing ADE 2.0 way too many times to absolutely no avail. After downloading the ADE 2.0 install program, I have tried installing with Norton virus and firewall software turned off, turned on, restarting my computer after an ADE 2.0 install attempts with virus protection off and on, and everytime I have tried to do anything with the supposedly installed ADE 2.0, it crashes and Microsoft opens its error mesaging window because ADE 2.0 has encountered a problem.
On a couple times I have also received this error message:
Digital Editions.exe - Application Error Instructions at "0x8514c483" referenced memory at "0x8514c483". The memory could not be "read". Click "ok" to terminate the program.
I have also re-downloaded the install program numerous times under different anti virus software operating scenarios (software enabled/disabled, etc), and everytime after the installation is complete, the program crashes. Each time an install attempt failed, I uninstalled the program and went through a full ADE 2.0 install. Sometimes still using the same install program and also after re-downloading the ADE 2.0 install program. Everything I have tried has failed.
I am also using an older Windows XP PC, but despite being a relatively older computer, this install and initialization challenge should not be occurring.
Short of finding a copy of the ADE 1.7 version and seeing if that will work (was suggested by user sjgt when replying to a post by su-anster on 26 Dec at 0358), does anyone have any suggestions? This should not be such a challenge. Thx

Thanks for our reply. I already have installed Overdrive Media Console
without any challenge. What I have ended up doing as a quick fix is I
located and downloaded the ADE 1.7 version and after doing so, everything is
working fine. Obviously I am not using Adobe's latest and greatest ADE 2.0
version with whatever associated bells and whistles, but ADE 1.7 is doing
what I need to do to and that is allow me to download Adobe Epub files from
our local library and to create an interface to my daughter's Nook. If
using the 3M Cloud app provides some greater functionality I might try that
as well, but my problem is not connectivity with my daughter's Nook. It is
ADE 2.0 not installing and initializing on my computer. I never got to the
point of trying to download files because ADE 2.0 was constantly crashing
when I opened the supposedly, correctly installed program.

Trouble installing Digital Editions

I have windows vista and when I try to download the program the adobe digital editions installer prompt me to click yes to download and continue the installation, however when I do click yes nothing happens, this prompt simply remains on the screen. Does anybody know how I can get around this problem and download the program?

I have the exact same problem. Looks like this is universal and no one from Adobe seem to know how to help. I am even concern that they do not even know they have this product because I called the help desk from Singapore and I was routed to a call center who have absolutely no idea what I am talking about when I mentioned Adobe Digital Editions Installer!! Then the guy called his supervisor and the supervisor told me to do the standard things like turn off the firwalls and anti-virus programs. I told him that I have done that 10 times and rebooted my computer and the ADE still do not install itself. After 1 hour of holding on and speaking to him, he said the server where the program resides in is having problems and promised to call me back and send me the program to install directly on my computer the very nxt day. Nothing happens for 5 days. Then he wrote me an email and asked me again to turn off my firewall but mentioned something like "Karpersky Firewall" I only have the basic Windows Defender firewall and so, I wrote back. It is already 7 days into this episode and still no ADE installer and my ebook is still unread.
PS - the guy who claimed to be the supervisor said that I am the only one who has this problem. Sounds like he is lying!!

I have a Kobo N416 E-Reader. It is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. I was told that I can use Adobe Digital Editions Desktop App to download book to this Kobo N416 E-Reader . How do I do this ? Thanks

Question; How do I download Ebooks to my Kobo N416 e-reader using Adobe Digital Editions App ? I have already tried to get help from Kobo Techs but they say the Kobo N416 E-Reader is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. Kobo told me to use Adobe Digital Editions to download the books I bought on Kobo to my Kobo N416 E-Reader. I have already contacted Adobe Digital Editions for help but they could not help me and told me to go to Adobe Forums.

I didnt't say that our business is using Linux Desktops. I wrote, our main clientele is. And what our customers do like to use is something we cannot control...
>What difference does it make to you if Adobe releases a new version of Reader that is not supported on Linux?
a new Adobe Reader version that's supported on Linux would be nice. a dialogue between Adobe and Linux developers would be nice...
>As long as the old versions can open the files correctly, that's all that matters, no?
No, not if our staff is trained to use the newest Adobe Acrobat (trainings are usually for the newest versions) and uses that to produce forms. Now the files open correctly. But what will be in some months or years? Do people working on Linux do have to print the forms then again to fill in?
So do you recommend that we stop the process of producing electronic forms and stay with paper-fill-in forms? Is that the goal of Adobe? (maybe not so clever for your "financial viability"?!?!? ... ein schuss ins eigene bein?!?!)
>Adobe is a public company and therefore it's not going to maintain a version of its software at great cost if it's not financially viable. It's as simple as that...
So it is to be interpreted that Adobe is interested in killing Linux cause if users cannot work with let's say forms, they will have to switch to something that can do that for them...
We definitely don't want to force Windows or Mac on our clientele. So as far as I get it, we will go back to paper forms and terminate our licence agreements with Adobe and deinstall it...

Can't Install Digital Camera Raw 3.6

I am having problems installing Digital Camera Raw 3.6. During the install, I get the message "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update can't be installed on this disk. This update provides support for Aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 only".
I purchased Aperture 3 from the Mac App store. In Aperture 3, Digital Camera Raw 3.4 is installed. Software Update does not recognize Digital Camera Raw needs to updated. Help!

Ernie.......yes, the application is Aperture, Mac's photo-image software. I didn't specify as I thought I was posting in the Aperture Forum. I'm not very familiar with these forums, did I miss a step in clarifying my subject?
