Cannot transfer from ADE to Acer Iconia Tab a500

I have used my Adobe ID and password and installed ADE on my pc (XP), but ADE does not recognize my Acer Iconia Tab a500, which is listed as a supported device. I have registered the Iconia tab and also authorized it with the same Adobe ID and password. The installation instructions tell me that my e-reader device will appear as a new bookshelf in the library when the device is connected to my pc, but it does not, so I am unable to transfer from my pc to the e-reader. Any ideas?

I just got an Acer Iconia A500 for Christmas and was going through the same problems as "cantreadit". Since I'm not the most technically advanced person in the world (I'm an old fart in his 60's), I was panicking about not being able to use this part of my tablets capabilities, and started looking for a cure on the internet (Acer was almost no help). I couldn't get past the sign-on to Adobe ADE, and always got an error message. I saw a comment about a "time-expired" error being caused by the tablet and the computer mot having the same time shown, but my tablet was the exact time as my computer. When I went a little deeper, I found that my tablet didn't have the "TIME ZONE" marked correctly (mine was set off of GMT, the default). When I tethered my tablet and computer together and had both open to the time I reset my tablets time (the tablet doesn't set to the second, so I waited until the computers second hand got to the exact minute and clicked on the tablets clock - I don't know if you need to get that exact, but....). When I went to my tablet and signed in, this time my authorization was accepted.
Note: Adobe ADE still doesn't show my tablet as connected, and I can't download from Adobe directly, but (being an "old fart") I always save my books first to a folder on my computer before opening them to ADE. When I went to my tethered tablet and copied the folder with (the DRM protected) e-books on my SD card, then went to LumiRead, then settings, then to "manage my book folders" and added that folder to the folders that LumiRead looks at, ALL the books were there and readable. Saving the books to a folder first (which my Techno-Geek" son and son-in-law said was un-necessary) seems to have worked out good for me.
My last concern is that I don't know if Overdrive will also "see" the ADE authorization and let me download books from my local library on line (which I use a lot for my dedicated e-reader), but I'm going to check that out later today (here's hoping that works too).
This may not be the same problem that the rest of you have been facing (my problem may have been too simple for the rest of you guys to miss), and it may not be the complete cure (I still have the Library & Overdrive to checkout). Also, the rest of you may have trusted the system to work properly, and not "stupidly" saved the books you bought to a folder on your computer (like a skeptical "old fart" like me would do), but for the other "Old Farts" out there, this may be the cure your looking for (no matter how simple it may be).

Acer Iconia Tab A500 and UMW190 USB Modem?

Can the UMW190 USB modem be used with the Acer Iconia Tab A500, or is this tablet supposed to be compatible with Verizon 3G/4G?

I'm sorry but the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is not supported by Verizon Wireless. This tablet is not one of our devices.
Thanks very much for your posting!

[SOLVED] Help needed with ACPI accelerometer - Acer Iconia Tab W501

Hi,
I am trying to get the accelerometer working on my Acer Iconia Tab W501
In windows, it reported as a BMA150 device, so I have that driver loading on boot.
After months of googling and making a mess in /sys, I still have not got the device working. I was working under the assumption that the device hangs off the i2c bus, but a "lucky google" today uncovered that it is showing up through acpi - acpid is present in my daemons array of rc.conf and the kernel module acer_wmi is also loaded.
The device is certainly sending signals to the kernel. Upon boot, dmesg ends up as follows:
[ 11.689709] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 12.108374] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

[ 22.459133] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
Now, if I rotate the device, and run dmesg again, I have the following:
[ 1255.189705] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1
[ 1257.363688] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1

[ 4.824909] ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (61 C)
[ 5.220895] acer_wmi: Acer Laptop ACPI-WMI Extras
Yet, running acpi_listen generates the following when the tablet is rotated:
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
So, it would seem the device is working and sending data to the kernel/drivers, it appears some config is needed to get it properly recognised and an entry in /dev generated.
Really hoping there is an acpi expert around who may be able to help me get the device properly recognised and configures, ideally, as a /dev/input/js*
Cheers.

There is no need to patch the kernel anymore as current kernels have the acer wmi accelerometer patch merged.
Ensure you have the kernel module acer_wmi loading and then the events should be propogated. acpi_listen should show the events.
Using the code from here: http://www.jezra.net/blog/Python_Joysti … ng_Gobject i have written a little daemon that monitors the accelerometer and automatically rotates the screen based on it's position.
Cheers.
[EDIT] Being a laptop, I am guessing the accelerometer is possibly on the hard drive?? used for shock protection?? So if that is the case, I am not sure you will be able to utilise it in the same way as a tablet's accelerometer. There are articles on the web for setting up hard drive accelerometers in linux. The other consideration you need is that the accelerometer may not be on acpi. It could be on the i2c bus (commonly where sensors such as fan speed, core temps etc are located), in which case you will need the i2c driver to get the accelerometer events recognised in the kernel (ensure i2c kernel modules are loaded). So check exactly how the kernel detects the accelerometer, is it on acpi or the i2c bus?[/EDIT]

Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840 FHDSD card mount problem

I bought the Iconia tab 8 (A1-840 FHD) and was disappointed. Due to incorrectly configured firmware - SD card when the device is connected properly mounted within the system (such as an external USB drive), there is no way to transfer files to it (the card is locked for writing applications) can not be set as a cache for Google Music, no connection mode as USB drive when connected to a computer. In fact, it is not working appendage and is not intended for storing information. When can I expect to fix this problem? Why was it decided to change the default for all other tablets on the market functionality?

I have not been able to use my micro SD card that I bought for my Acer iconia tab 8 from day 1 as it is not functional due to whatever changes that were made prior to boxing and shipping out to the public. On the box and in advertising it is listed as a feature which constitutes fraud in my opinion. And if there is some round about way of using it that is not good enough. You should be able to utilize the card slot/function just as you would if it were a camera or a laptop computer. Even though I have not been able to use it I have left it in my tablet and when I turned my tablet on I got a notification that it was damaged and to try to reformat it. It's funny that I can't use it but the tablet somehow damaged it! Double whammy! So what is Acer going to do to fix this situation for all of us who have purchased tablets with useless card slots? No excuses or be either. Consumers, like myself, are tired of being lied to and taken advantage of. Yes laptops and tablets are more affordable then ever but that does not mean quality and customer service should be null and void because we are getting such a good deal.

Cannot transfer from laptop to KOBO.Did not register at instal.How do I start over ?

Cannot transfer from laptop to Kobo due to wrong install.Would like to save my sign in.how do I reset and start over ?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

MCPro4.1 -cannot upgrade past IOSX 10.5.8 and now cannot transfer from itunes to my 4s which is upgraded to IOS7. What can I do?

I have a MacBook Pro 4.1.
I have been unable to upgrade the software beyond OSX 10.5.8.
I have an iphone 4S and have previously been able to transfer tracks from itunes to the phone but now - though I can download music to the laptop, I cannot transfer them to the phone as I get an error message saying I need Itunes 11.1 which I have downloaded but I cannot run apparently because of the old operating system. Is there any way 'round this - without going back to the old OS on the phone?

To get to the next stage, Mac OS X 10.6, you will need to BUY a 10.6 DVD from the Apple Online Store and have them ship it to you. Once you have Installed, Update to 10.6.8, and a much newer version of iTunes will become available as an Update.

IPod Classic cannot transfer from iTunes

My classic can no longer transfer tunes from iTunes. It freezes and then eventually comes up with the message cannot transfer. I have reset it several times, tried a different lead, even tried it on a different computer. Eventually I reset the iPod to factory settings but still get the same problem. Anyone any ideas please?

How to unbrick Iconia tab A500

On power up I get just the Acer logo. There is a post from 2013 that describes how to unbrick but the instructions don't work. It suggests going to the site that lets you download Acer drivers and manuals, viz http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers#_ga=1.181574820.267539145.1417479834. This should give a zip file that contains 'update.zip' but it doesn't; it contains a file with a name that ends 'Driver Setup.exe' and I don't think that is what I want. The site address has 'US' in it so I looked for the corresponding UK source for drivers and manuals which is http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers and I then typed in my SNID and selected the OS Android 3.2 Honeycomb (ice cream is 'not available' and I can always upgrade later). The zip file that results contains the two files H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/1.inf and
USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/ICONIA TAB USB Driver Setup.exeand again this doesn't look right (the 1.inf file is all about Windows). I have not tried running this because it is not 'update.zip' and I'm afraid it will install Windows instead. . I need the file update.zip. Can someone please tell me where to find it? Or any other way of unbricking an Iconia A500.

Hello Ironfly. Thank you for your comment. I have tried a factory reset, if you mean that game with the volume button. If I hold down Volume- and press power on I get the Acer logo for ever and if I hold down Volume+ I get the dead Android. You say that to get the file update.zip I should click on the OS tab but where is this? Do you mean in the Drivers and Manuals page? I did that and selected Honeycomb 3.2 which was the OS installed on the tablet when new. I should be delighted to hear any other ideas about how to get a file update.zip and not some Windows substitute.

I have imovie8.0.6 but cannot transfer from my sony hdr sr1. i think, if i upgrade to version 9,0,4 that this will work. but i need a version of 9.0.0 to upgrade. help please

i wish to upgrade to imovie 9.0.4 but the upgrade is only possible if i already have version 9.0.0. therefore i need advice please on how to upgrade in sequences from8.0.6 or are there anyother ways to do this please.? I read that with version of imovie 9.0.0 or later that i can transfer my hd and lesser resolution movies.

Thank you Neil,I have a macbook pro with snow leopard v.10.6.8.included intell core 2 duo with a processor speed 2.5ghb with one processor and cores 2.
can i download onto my laptop an update by internet to my imovie 8.0.6 directly or as i have read, the system will not let me do that unless i have imovie 9.0.0 already which i do not have.
Perhaps i misunderstand you. Do you mean purchase a software copy from an apple Store and the can i directly upgrade.

Cannot transfer from iTunes to iPhone previously deleted (from iphone) purchased app

I posted this issue about 2 days ago... I tried syncing but it still won't copy that particular application. Please help.
Hi there. I need help. I tried all the suggestions in a thread concerning grayed out apps. But my main issue is transferring an app from iTunes to my iPhone 4S. Thinking it was corrupted, I deleted this Navigation app from my iphone because I couldn't get it to load my purchased voice navigation. To my dismay, the iTunes store no longer has this available for download. I went to my iTunes library and it is there. I synced and backed up my phone so the iTunes Library should have the same updated apps (including those purchased from my phone). One problem is, I couldn't reinstall this particular app into my phone. I went to the Purchased tab thinking I could do it from there but it showed that I already downloaded it. Laptop is authorized and have also turned off the Restrictions on the phone. Please help! Any suggestions? Thank you so much.

It says once the phone is connected that there is 9gb of media synced but when I go to check the music in the phone in the music app nothing is there apart from an audio book

Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A20FHD-K8KK

The tablet is frozen on the Language selection screen and won't go any further. The screen is unresponsive. I've done the reboot to wipe and reinstall to factory settings as well as "reboot system now" by holding the power and volume buttons. None of it works, it simply returns to the language selection screen with an unresponsive screen. The tablet is only 3 months old.

Acer wants me to send into their service center in Temple Texas for service. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue with an Acer Android Iconia Model similar to this. Looking forward to comments or information relative to this issue.
