Cannot open epub-books in ADE

Hi all,
up to about 2 weeks ago I had no problems downlaoding epub-files (well, actually acsm.files) from public libraries and reading them in ADE or - after copying them - on my e-book reader (Pocketbook Pro 903). Then there must have been something happening I don't know what. Without changing any setting neither on the laptop nor in ADE nor somewhere else now the acsm-files get downloaded but they don't open in ADE. (In the libraries the items are shown as loaned.)  Drag & drop doesn't work, neither doubleclicking on the downloaded acsm-file nor anything else I tried. Deactivating the laptops's firewall didn't help either. I also deinstalled ADE properly and installed again - no change, the problem's still there. Nor I can't read free text samples of books to buy in online stores, so it doesn't seem to be a problem of the libraries' loaning systems. Previously bought books are still there in ADE and can be read.
The laptop where this problem occurs is a Vista Home Premium SP 2 machine.- Does anybody have an idea what's wrong and how to fix that problem?

Picas, I think I figured it out.  I have two different apple id's and must have purchased the books from a different apple id than the one I use on my imac.  So when i switched the appleid on my imac and turned on the icloud it worked!  Who knows?  Now maybe you can help me get rid of searchbenny/bing on my imac.  Just happened the last few days...ugh!  Thanks for your help!

  • Error message "cannot open address book file" thunderbird freezes

  • Cannot open address book...

    something has happen to my address book. every time I try to open, I get a dialogue box "cannot open address book because it is not supported on this architecture.' please help.

    One thing at a time.
    A media file in an email. What type of a file? Was the email from a trusted source?
    Unfortunately WMA and WMV files CAN carry malicious code in them (viruses-like). They SHOULD NOT affect the OS X, but the world is spinning fast...
    The app icon - I meant go to the Applications folder, find the Address Book application and click on it one to select it.
    COMMAND + i - Command is the key next to the space bar (the one with a "clover" type of a symbol and command written at the bottom). Hold the Command key and tap "i" - this shows the Info box, and General is at the very top.
    Keep us posted please.

  • 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.

  • Cannot transfer library books from ADE to my Kobo.

    Please help. At first when I tried to transfer library books from ADE to my Kobo I got an error message "some file(s) cannot be transferred".I reinstalled ADE and  reauthorized ADE and my Kobo, per Kobo help advice. Now I get an errror message that says I do not have permission to transfer the files. Kobo help says the issue is with my library. I  contacted Netlibrary (the source of the books I borrowed on line) and they say they cannot find a problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Are any other ereaders easier to use to read library books? Thanks!!

    yes i have a book from my local library on my kobo, but the content is locked and i get amessage "please use your adobe id to authorize your ereader with the kobo desktop application or adobe digital editions". adobe can't help

  • I have updated my adobe digital editions but application not recognizing it, can't open epub book

    I have updated my adobe digital editions but application not recognizing it, can't open epub book

    What Adobe Digital app on your iPad? If you are talking about a third-party app (like Bluefire Reader) you need to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and select Apps in the Sidebar. Scroll down to the File Sharing section, select the app you plan on using, select Add (bottom right), navigate to where the book is on your computer, select the book and sync your iPad.

  • Suddenly cannot open address book

    Suddenly I cannot open my address book. Message on computer says may be "damaged or incomplete"
    Would love some help. Thank you.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I cannot open the book i downloaded from I tunes on my mac pro

    I downloaded a book from I Tunes on my computer and I cannot open it. What should I do?

    Books downloaded from iTunes are not optimized for the Mac OS X, but for iOS devices such as iPhones, iPads, and the iPod touch.
    In other words, you cannot open an iBook and read it on your Mac.
    According to Apple...   iTunes Store: All Sales Are Final
    But it won't hurt to contact iTunes Billing and explain what happened.

  • I downloaded and re-installed Adobe Digital Editions so that I could get books from the library and read them on my tablet. It is not working and my tablet cannot open the books??

    What can I do? I am 68 y/o and not very computer literate.  I put an micro SD card in  my computer to copy the books (also some ebooks that I bought from a retailer) onto the SD card so that I could read it on my computer or my ereader by puting the card into the reader (tablet or whatever you want to call it).. HELP

    Please follow the below steps and check:
    1) Right click on the book in library that you want to copy from your computer. Click on the "Show File in Explorer".
    2) Copy/Paste the book from this location to your SD card.
    3) On your tablet open the book from your SD card in your ereader.
        You need to make sure that you authorize your ereader with the same ID with which you authorized your computer. In case you do not remember which ID you used for authorizing your Digital Edition, click     Help-> Authorization Information.
    Hope this helps. If it doesn't, please specify the ereader that you are using and the exact error message that you are getting. Thanks!

  • HT4059 Cannot open a book says failed to load because requested resource is missing

    First, I recommend deleting the book from iBooks and downloading it from your list of past purchases using the steps in the following article:

  • Cannot open any books in IBOOKS since IOS 8 upgrade

    Since "upgrading" to IOS 8 my IPAD now will not allow me to open up books I have purchased.  I can see all of them in purchased but when I go to "bookshelf" it is EMPTY. To say I am mad is an understatement.  I am about a nano second from chucking this thing and getting a kindle or something that works.  This is ridiculous.

    Picas, I think I figured it out.  I have two different apple id's and must have purchased the books from a different apple id than the one I use on my imac.  So when i switched the appleid on my imac and turned on the icloud it worked!  Who knows?  Now maybe you can help me get rid of searchbenny/bing on my imac.  Just happened the last few days...ugh!  Thanks for your help!
