Cannot open books in Kobo

Hi,
I downloaded Adobe Digital Edition, signed up, downloaded books. Then I add Kobo and add book in the Kobo library in Adobe Digital Editions program. I syncronized my Kobo with my computer. But still I cannot open books in Kobo. I get the same problem message, "... and is not currently authorized for use with your Adobe ID. Please sign-in with the authorized Adobe ID and try again."
What should I do?

i have the exact same problem and adobe customer support offered zero help. i'm going to call them tomorrow and make them figure this all out. i was online with them this evening and had the rep delete my adobe id, in case ade was being snarky about my new device, even though it's the exact same ereader, just a new one. not even upgraded. the number i have is 1 800 833 6687. i read in another thread that having them delete the account and starting a new one does work, but it takes 5-7 days for the account to delete. it's as though adobe doesn't even care about its users or their problems with the software. the rep i spoke to this evening- and this is the third time i've contacted adobe about this exact same unresolved problem- referred me to the forums- the site of unanswered questions. my hope is that enough people will call in with this exact same problem and force adobe to resolve it. my kobo touch is pretty much useless until my adobe id resets. i only used it for library books

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Cannot open Book Project in iPhoto

I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17). Last January of this year I started a Book and have worked on it at winter and spring--it is about 90 pages long with text and photos. Yesterday I went to open the project and all I got was a spinning wheel -- it will not open up. I went in to Utilities and repaired the permissions and I repaired the photo library by clicking Alt and Command--still cannot open the project. Would anyone have a solution?

Hi Old Toad: Thanks for the prompt reply. I could NOT locate the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
I downloaded Find any File and got this:

TS1424 Downloaded a book. Cannot open book. Says book is protected. Huh?

On my PC, I downloaded a book. It's on my itunes "recently added" page. I cannot open the book. When I click on it, nothing happens. But in the description line, it says the book is protected. Does this have something to do with it? Please help...

On what device are you trying to read it?
ibooks are ONLY for ipod touhc/iphone/ipad.
You cannot read them on your computer.

TS1702 help!!!! I cannot open books in ibooks, says "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" how do i reopen purchased books?

I cannot open open purchased books fro ibooks, a window pops up saying "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" not sure what has happened, extremely frustrating.....does it have something to o with icloud?

Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

Cannot open books in iBooks ipad2 new purchases and ones I am reading

Cannot open downloaded books in iBook library I could before

If you haven't already done so then try closing the iBooks app via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if you can then open the books. To close iBooks : Bouble-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you still can't open them then copy your ibooks over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that will copy epubs and/or PDFs in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks ; you might also be able to redownload ibooks via the Purchased tab in the iBookstore in the app), delete the app from your iPad, and then redownload the app and sync your books back - deleting the app will lose any notes/highlights that you have in your books

HT1430 Cannot open books in iBooks

I am unable to open books in iBooks on my iPad.

Yes, I did this and it worked fine after that. I also noted that ibooks is available for download as an Iphone ap or an Ipad ap. I believe it is the same ap, but that could also be the problem.
thanks for the good tip! worked fine for me!

Nook app show books but cannot open books

I downloaded the Nook app for my new iPad. No problems for 3 weeks. However, today, I can open the app and it shows the library with appropriate books, but books cannot be opened. I can click on book - and the app closes. Any suggestions?

Try closing the Nook app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Nook app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Nook app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot open book on ereader ALTHOUGH PRESENT IN THE LIBRARY ON THE EBOOK.

Bought a new ereader and authorised it correctly with ADE. seems to download a book to the ereader library until i try to open it then it says 'no file found'. In 'annotations' on the reader it also comes up with that message. The books are there in the library on the ereader though!

Gutenberg books will usually be fine, no DRM. (aside ... Calibre (free) is much better software than ADE for handling non DRM books)
One more thing to try:
use file manager to copy a DRM book from the computer to the ereader
then try to read the file from the ereader memory in ADE
then unplug and try to read the file on the ereader.
If the file manager copy doesn't work, maybe there is something odd in the ereader registration?
Try to deregister (ctrl-shift-D to ADE with ereader plugged in, cmd-shift-E on Mac) and reregister the ereader (menu/Help/Authorize device).
If that fails too, I'm not sure what to suggest.
If the file manager copy does work, looks like something wrong in the ADE DRM file copy mechanism.
In that case, it may be worth trying with the older more reliable ADE1.7.2
~~~
~~~~~~~~~
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.

Cannot open books to read description before purchase

I can not get books listed to open to read description but can move book list around and open already purchased books. Other apps open also

That is correct.
ibooks are for ipod/ipad/iphone, NOT your computer.

Cannot open book after upgrade to ibook3

Others seem to have this problem too. It is with one book that I'm in the middle of. Finished books seem ok. I really need to get this book back. Any help?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

I've spent hundred of dollars on books that I can't get access to! How can I fix this?

I've been having the same issue! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADE but that hasn't helped; I've even created a new Adobe ID and that was also a fruitless venture. I haven't yet tried to unauothorize my device, but I am hesitant to do so as it seems that others have tried and have not succeeded. I am desperately caught in the middle of a series and I would love to have access to the new books that I've been trying to download from my library!

I have installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12 and cannot open the book and chapter files in FrameMaker 8

Hi
My colleague and I use FrameMaker 8 but I'm considering whether it would be a good idea to upgrade to FrameMaker 12. So today I installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12.
Before opening a book file in FM12, I copied it to another folder so I wouldn't mess up anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy the chapter files so I opened most of them from FM12. As soon as I found out about it, I copied them to the new folder, but too late.
Now I'm not able to open the original files from FM8 (and even worse, neither can my colleague). I read somewhere else, that I should save the book file in the .MIF format (I tried both 12 and 7.0) and then open it from FM8. I tried that, but I still cannot open the chapter files.
I get an error message saying: "Althoug xxx.fm appears to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opened with this release of the product".
I didn't make any changes to the chapter files when I looked at them in FM 12.
What should I do? I case we decide not to upgrade, we will not be able to access this book which is a big problem. I already have some small changes that have to be made.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Back saving to MIF should work, but it’s probably faster to just retrieve a backup of the FM8 files & books and restore them over your botched FM12 versions. Then take a copy of that backup and put it on the trial machine to play away without impacting anything else.
