Cannot get a library book to automatically open in adobe digital editions using windows 8

Since getting windows 8, I cannot get a library book to automatically open in adobe digital editions so I can transfer it to my kobo e reader

You could have the issue whereby .acsm files do not get properly registered.
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1213041?tstart=0
One solution to may issues with ADE2.0 is to use the more reliable v1.7.2,
Try that and see if it helps.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • E-book will not open in Adobe Digital Editions

    I have Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.1 and when I try to open my ebook in it, I get this message: Document is licensed for a different user account. Not sure what this means, because when I try to open the ebook on its own, it takes me to the web page to download Adobe Digital Editions. I am not sure what other account it is licensed for... Appreciate any help.

    iBooks can only be opened / viewed on iOS devices (iPhone / iPad).  They cannot be opened or viewed on a Mac.

  • Acsm files will not open in Adobe Digital Editions on iMac 10.7.2. I can still open them successfully on my Dell PC.

    Mid November I purchased an iMac Lion and downloaded Adobe Digital editions for Macs. The download went smoothly but I cannot get the ebooks from my library to open in Adobe Digital Editions. I still have my Dell PC and can (and unfortunately still have to) download the ebooks into ADE and from there to iTunes and onto my iPad. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ADE and it doesn't appear to be the problem. The downloaded ascm books appear to be in the top right corner of the toolbar but just will not open in ADE. ADE is supposed to open automatically with the book download, and does on the PC, but not on the iMac. I've even tried dragging and dropping the files into ADE but nothing works. Does anyone have the solution? Thank you.

  • Downloaded document cannot be opened in Adobe Digital Editions, error is #2038

    I have downloaded a document for Adobe Digital Editions, but it cannot be opened, error is # 2038, what to be done ??

    Hi minczel,
    The #2038 error indicates that ADE cannot get to Activation server. This generally happens because of either system or application level firewalls disallow access to the Adobe activation site (http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/)
    Try disabling the firewall and check.
    You might also want to refer to the solution mentioned in the thread : Error # 2038

  • What does E_ADEPT_XML_SYNTAX mean.. The downloaded acsm-file does not open in Adobe Digital Editions

    downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 4, and registered computer, verified email and then downloaded e-book from retailer, but the acmsfile does not want to open.
    This is very frustrating

    Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
    The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
    And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
    (If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
    And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
    (If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
    I hope it helps.

  • Trouble opening up adobe digital editions 2.0?

    I was able to access my e-books via the adobe digital editions 2.0 currently installed on my computer. However, in the past few days, I have been unable to open up the program. I get an error message stating "adobe digital editions has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution", but nothing happens after that. I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling the program, but this has not helped. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Can I open a E-book, which is linked with Adobe Digital Editions On another computer of Mine?

    I Have an Ebook, Which can be opened only by using Adobe Digital Editons,
      Thus, i downloaded the adobe digital Editons, and authorised it without Adobe id and Passdode..
    But now, i found out that i cant open the file in another computer of mine...Is there a possibility for me to open the ebook in another computer of mine
    Any Help is appericiated...Thanks in advance :

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    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.

  • Why can't I open the adobe digital editions installer?

    I've downloaded the installer, but when I click to run it, it won't open.  I click and nothing happens.

    oneexwidow,
    Thank you so much!!!  I tried what you said, and it worked perfectly!  I can't believe you found the answer and Adobe tech support doesn't know about this!  I think they should be aware of this issue.  I remember that file-blocking "feature" being there when looking at file properties before, but I'd forgotten about it and never thought to look there.  I've downloaded maybe hundreds of files and I don't remember having this problem before.  I knew *something* was blocking the file from running though, and I never really bought that it wasn't Vista compatible.  After all, this is the latest version and Vista is old now, since Windows 7 and now 8 have come out.  And as I mentioned, I tried it on my mom's XP computer, and it didn't run on hers either.   I'm not sure when Microsoft introduced the security feature shown above.  I hope that everyone who has this problem can find this thread so they know what to do as well.  I think Adobe should put this on the download page so everyone can see it if they have problems.
    Thanks again for sharing!

  • All my books have gone from my adobe digital editions 2.0

    everything turned out empty. even logging in does not help. i'm rather desperate.

    You should post in the ADE forum if you think it is a usage issue with that software.  Here's a link to the discussion section:

  • Adobe digital edition 2.0 not openned

    Hello All,
        In windows xp serivce pack-2, ADE 2.0 is working perfectly for few days only, but after few days ADE 2.0 is not opening. I dont know why it is not opening? Can anyone tell me reason behind this?
    If RUN>>MSCONFIG>GENERAL>DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP - LOAD BASIC DEVICES AND SERVICE ONLY > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is opening.
    If RUN>> MSCONFIG>GENERAL>NORMAL  STARTUP - LOAD ALL DEVICE DRIVERS AND SERVICES > APPLY > OK and restarting the system then the ADE 2.0 is NOT opening.  As you people are well aware that we cannot use the diagnostic startup since it will allow basic service and devices only.
    I have tried the following methods to overcome this issue (from internet)
    1. Uninstall Adobe Digital Editions using one of these two methods:
    Start > Programs > Adobe > Adobe Digital Editions > Uninstall
    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
    2. Initiate Uninstall
    3. In order to remove all remnants of Adobe Digital Editions /  Adobe Adept from the machine a "Registry Edit" will need to be  performed:
    Start > Run > Regedit
    4. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Adept and Delete the full "Adept" folder
    5. Remove only the structures that are under the "SOFTWARE"  extensions. This will remove the Adobe ID / License and Activation Keys
    6. Clear any outstanding tasks that may be associated to Adobe  Digital Editions downloads
    C:\data\my digital editions
    C:\my documents\my digital editions
    7. Delete any documents within these folders:
    Restore > Tasks
    Restore > Failed
    8. Re-install Adobe Digital Editions
    9. I have updated Windows xp from SP2 to SP3
    The above methods didn't helped me to solve this issue. Then, i have used DIAGNOSTIC STARTUP and safe mode, it was opened, but not in normal user mode.
    Thanks,
    Mano.A

    ADE2.0 is not supported on XP below SP3 (and doesn't work very well on SP3, and is full of bugs on any OS).
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  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.

  • (sony) `Ebook Library' to `Adobe Digital  Editions'

    Searching here for ways to convert an (sony) `Ebook Library' format (*.lrx) to something the Adobe Digital Editions reader can read, I find long threads about converting the other way (adobe to sony) but not the reverse.
    I have both freebie readers and have found the `Ebook Library' offered for download by sony, has a more extensive library easily accessed thru the reader in the genre I like to read (crime fiction/mystery).
    I'm sure the same stuff is available somewhere on the net for the Adobe Digital Editions reader but with the `Ebook Library' I haven't had to search, just use there library.
    The trouble is the reader part of `Ebook Library' sucks. Its pretty primitive compared to the adobe DE. For starters I can't reduce the size of type characters below a rather huge size. Even the smallest setting in the reader results in rather huge type. The reader is cumbersome and clunky in many other ways as well.
    I vastly prefer reading with the Adobe DE. But do not like having to put so much time and energy into finding the books I want to download in Adobe DE format. Jumping around thru the various links I have for ebooks to find what I want instead of using the `Ebooks Library' to find it in one search/purchase combined move.
    So how can I read the stuff downloaded in *.lrx format in Adobe DE. There is no intent to circumvernt DRM or some other sleaze... I don't mind paying for the books... I just want to read them in the software of choice, Adobe DE

    While I'm glad that you like ADE, unfortunately as you have undoubtedly already figured out we only support PDF and ePub for viewing and do not support viewing of Sony's .lrf (unencrypted) or .lrx (DRM protected). I don't think that will change anytime soon (but I'm just an engineer and have been wrong about product directions plenty of times).
    For non DRM Sony files there are plenty of convertors out there to use - although most of them focus on converting to .lrf so you can place the file on a Sony Reader. A good general resource for conversion tools, how well they work etc is the MobileRead Format Conversion forum
    Other than that, the best I can do for you is to suggest some additional links to add to your various link you already have:
    Feedbooks - provides free access to public domain material in a variety of formats including ePub http://www.feedbooks.com
    A Crime/Mystery filtered link:
    http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/list/books?type=Crime%2FMystery
    ebooks.com - offers a wide varieties of books
    http://www.ebooks.com
    (look for their fiction/crime section - they don't have a separate mystery section)
    Good Luck
