Now when i click to open the adobe editions an error comes up and says Adobe ditgital editions 2.0 has stopped working...windows is looking for a solution. Then the error goes away but still cant open the program..anyone else having this problem?

Try the older more reliable v1.7.2
~~~~~~~~~
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.

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.

Opened adobe digital edition anonymously and now can't use book on other computer

I didn't realise I needed to open adobe digital editions with my name in order to access the book I purchased from more than one device. How can I remedy this situation? the publisher is not being overly helpful

This is a vicious trap that Adobe lays for unsuspecting customers.
When you register 'without ID', ADE creates an anonymous/implicit ID with limited powers (eg can't be used to share with other devices).
Whenever you first load a DRM book, that copy of the book is associated with whatever ID the computer is registered to at the time.
Any book you load while this anonymous ID is active gets associated with that ID, and can't be read on any other device.
When you properly register your computer with a real ID, that old anonymous ID is lost.
Now you don't have any devices that can read the book.
The only way I know round this is to use a DRM stripper such as epubee BEFORE you deauthorize the device.
I do NOT advocate using such code to get around the valid limitations placed on a DRM book.
However, where the problem arises only because of the ineptness of Adobe's ADEPT DRM infrastructure and its implementation,
such a measure is totally justifiable.

Problem opening Adobe Digital Editions 4.0

I have installed Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 but when I try to open it it gives an error - encountered a problem and will be closed PLEASE HELPProb

I'm not sure about the Kobo, but many ereaders show similar messages when connected. While they are connected you cannot do anything on the reader directly, you can only do things via the PC. (Most cameras seem to work that way as well.) So probably the Kobo is working correctly.
What should happen is that while that message is showing on the Kobo, the Kobo shows up in Library view on ADE.
Should be ok with v1.7.2 or v2.0; but v2.0 has lots of bugs that can stop it installing properly or working properly if you do once get it installed.
When the Kobo is plugged in and showing that message:
Does it show up as a device on your ADE 1.7.2?
Does it show up as a device on Windows Explorer?
What OS are you on? ADE2.0 has issues with XP and Vista: see http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html

How to open Adobe Digital editions books on the iPad

When I try to download a digital book from my library website it's saying that the book is incompatible with my iPad. What software would allow me to open this book?

I don't think ADE will itself run on Android.
You need to install an app such as Bluefire (free) which supports DRM epub books.
Make sure you authorise it with the same AdobeID you use on the PC or to buy books.
You can get books on the PC with ADE, download them, 'sideload' the .epub files to the tablet using a file manager such as Windows Explorer, and read them on Bluefire.
For library books, the Overdrive app (free) should allow you to borrow, doanload and read books with no need for a PC or ADE.

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions on my Nook but epub documents I try to open on it dont reco

I am trying to transfer previously downloaded epub documents to my Nook. I downloaded ADE to my Nook but now I cant open my documents with my Adobe Username and password.

Hi bratindu,
1. To confirm Adobe Digital Editions is authorized properly, take the following steps.
In Adobe Digital Editions, from the title list view, go to the Library menu and select Authorize computer.
If ADE is authorized, move on to #2.
If ADE is not authorized, proceed through the steps to Authorize it with an Adobe ID.
2. Reset the ADE folder on the nook:
Close Adobe Digital Editions.
Connect the nook to your computer.
Under My Computer or Computer, open the drive associated with your device (likely named nook (X:) where X is the drive letter).
Locate the folder .adobe-digital-editions and delete it.
3. Open Adobe Digital Editions. You should see the Device Setup Assistance dialog. Click the Authorize Device button.
Once you have completed the steps above, please transfer the title again by dragging and dropping it on the device icon in the library view of Adobe Digital Editions. The transferred Adobe eBook title will be located in the 'My Documents' section on the Nook. If you are using a NOOKColor, transferred titles will be located in the 'My Files > Digital Editions' section.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rave

If Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3 is open and no book is opened, it crashes when minimizing the window

I am trying to find a fix for this issue and I saw on a lot's of post, that people are having the same problem as I am with Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3. If I open Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 with no book opened and I minimized the window, then it crashes and it give's me the following error message:

note to moderator - this is MY response to MY own posting. How can this be a duplicate.
success. ADE 4.0 is to be avoided. It crashed after my solution.
The solution is trash the activation.dat preference file.

How can I fix Adobe Digital Editions from crashing on opening?

I open Adobe Digital Editions it says "Verifying Documents" after a minute or so it crashes. What can I do?

Ain't supposed to do that - and doesn't in a lot of installations.
But let's have more information: What computer system (Windows x or MAC)?
What anti-virus and firewall if you're on a PC? What version of the
software? Did you register with Adobe before downloading the software and
installing it?
All of these factors will be important to answering your question. If
you're a Windows person, then the anti-virus settings could be causing a
problem. If you didn't register with Adobe before installing the software,
you could have problems, and so on.
I'm looking forward to the challenge of this puzzle.

Adobe Digital Editions not responding

I try to open adobe digital editions and it says not responding as soon as I open it and it does nothing for hours. It still does this even after uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I really need this program to work on three essays. Please help.

Two possibilities.
One is you have hit a bug in v2.0.x. Try using the less buggy 1.7.2 instead (see below).
The other is that you have an ereader device plugged in with lots of books on it.
A new installation of ADE has the very irritating habit of completely searching such a device for books that have nothing to do with ADE,
and writing lots of extra information about them to the device that you don't want there.
This is a very slow process, and it gives no indication that it is happening.

Adobe Digital Editions v4.0 Error: Check Activation on Windows 8

This isn't a question but a solution that I found to an issue that I hope will help others. I couldn't find a discussion board on this so I'm creating a new one.
I started getting the error message, "Error: Check Activation" when I was trying to download ebooks on my Windows 8 PC. I noticed this was problem for 2.0 as well, and when I tried to erase authorization and reauthorize (which seemed to be the way to fix the problem) it wouldn't allow me to. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall which didn't work. Then I found the page for if you were having trouble installing ADE. I didn't really have problems with that part but I figured I would give it a try.
One this page, it says to "manually" install the program (which involves downloading the actual zip file and going through that). I did this and it fixed everything! I was able to erase the authorization and reauthorize after this.
I figured I would put this out there so that others might find it useful. I don't know this is specifically a Windows 8 problem or a v4.0 problem or what, but I would suggest trying to "manually" install the program before doing any of the other super complicated fixes that I came across and was scared to try.

ok, follow the below steps as listed.
1. Quit ADE.
2. Choose Start > Search for regedit
3. Right click on regedit, ans select "Run as admininstrator"
4.In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
5. Select Adept key, right click on it and select "Delete"
6. In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
Hope this works !!

De-authorizing Adobe Digital Editions

I know the command+shift+D trick and this works on my Intel based Mac, but not on the software version for my old PowerBook G4. I know it's the most updated version of the software for non-Intel based Macs because I uninstalled and reinstalled it in an attempt to reset the authorization. This didn't work.
How do I deauthorize or reauthorize the Adobe Digital Editions software on a non-Intel based Mac?

There are a lot of users on this forum currently with this exact same problem, some who've even left screenshots of the issue. Definitely is a problem. I've found that for me, the best thing to do was to just manually deactivate using the steps to remove the info from the registry. I linked to the article above, but in case the article moves, here are the steps.
