Digital Editions 3.0 Install

Digital Editions 3.0.  Will I still have ebooks from earlier versions if I download 3.0?

yes - my installation/upgrade worked as expected (although, 'your mileage may vary')

  • Unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on Windows 7

    Hi
    My current installation of Windows 7 contains Framework NET 4.0 Full.
    It is up-tp-date with this.
    I'm unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on this system, because
    of the prerequisite required to install this packege.
    ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1. requires NET 3.5 on Windows 7 (and this is old/outdated today).
    When will ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 install on Windows 7 with NET 4?
    Any other ideas to get this up and running?
    Thanx

    You can install the different versions of .NET at the same time, and that is what you need to do for quite a few programs.
    Microsoft don't make them upward compatible.
    You could install the older v1.7.2 instead, much more relaible and I don't think (not sure) it as .NET requirement.

    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.

  • Adobe digital editions keeps trying to install itself,

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, my OS is a fresh install (3 weeks old). At random times during computer use, adobe digital editions attempts to install itself (even though it is already installed) and then multiple error messages spawn saying 'an instance of adobe editions 4.02 installer is already running'. Sometimes this will spawn 20+ error messages even if I immediately hit the cancel button on the installer.
    I've gone through my entire computer and deleted every instance of the editions installer exe, checked my startup in msconfig, ran malwarebytes; spybot; security essentials; emptied temporary files; uninstalled digital editions and tried installing using the prompt.
    The prompt seems to occur more often after starting my computer up, sometimes I will receive a chain of 3-4 separate instances in the first 5-10 minutes of boot. But the installer does then also randomly occur during regular computer use, even when idle. This is becoming incredibly frustrating as it the installer forces my screen to itself, dragging me out of whatever program i was using at the time.
    Any help would be much appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more information in solving this stupid issue.

    Well I found my own solution, it may help you as well. When I got the install error, I opened up task manager and switched over to the 'processes' tab. I selected one of the instances of the error, right clicked and hit 'open file location'.
    This took me to the file within my windows user folder, which seemed to be some partially installed temp file. Delete that file (shift+delete) and the stupid problem should go away.

  • I am trying to install Adobe Digital Editions

    I've been trying unsuccessfully to install Digital  Editions for 3 days and ended up with Creative Cloud, which I do not want.  Please help. [private info removed]  Thank you.

    What kind of problems have you been getting that stopped the install working?
    What operating system?
    One thing that might be worth trying is to install the older version.
    That often helps with Digital Editions problems, but without more information impossible to know if it will help for you.

  • Can't see installed file in Digital Editions 2.0

    I was reading an ebook from Netgalley.
    I added another ebook.
    The Netgalley book no longer shows in my library.
    I removed the additional book.
    The Netgalley book did not reappear.
    I tried to add the Netgalley ebook to the library but got a message saying the book was already in the library.
    I redownloaded the ascm file and double clicked on it. Nothing happened.
    I went to My Digitial Editions folder and dragged the pdf file to the digital editions icon on my desktop. It refused  to load.
    How can I read this book again?
    I also tried bookshelf and that didn't do anything.

    Not sure exactly why you got this issue, but one possible solution (solution to lots of problems) .....

  • Downloaded Digital Editions but won't install?

    We are trying to use our Ebooks from our library.
    Using our Home computer- which has Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service pack 2.
    We have a Pentium 4CPU 1500MHz, 1.49GHz. 512 MB of Ram.
    We use "avast" and have a "firewall" as well.
    The EXE.file wouldn't run.
    We had Adobe already in our system previously, however thought it might have upgraded by using the link our library provided. We also had the flash player. 
    So we went to the link that was  provided by our Library see below.

    WE FOLLOWED THIS:

    · Download Adobe Digital Editions ›
    · Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
    · Once installed, open the Getting Started eBook for an overview of the application.
    THEN WE DID THIS:

    Locate your preferred platform and click on it to download the installer. Then run the installer on your machine to install Adobe Digital Editions.

    The Getting Started eBook is pre-installed with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0; however, it will not be installed if you install as a standard user (non-admin user). If it is not installed or if you happen to remove it, you can download it using the following link.
      Download Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions (EPUB, 55 KB)
    THEN WE TRIED TO RUN THE PROGRAM AND GOT THIS RESPONSE:
    "Adobe reader could not open [(I've tried a few samples before trying the book I ordered from you)] because it is either
    not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't
    correctly decoded)".
    I did find out that we must have the Digital Editions working "BEFORE" the library sends us the download for the book we
    requested.
    However, we still should have been able to "TEST" using the "Sample books".
    What are we missing???
    Can you help????
    Joanne.

    It will be a bit slow, but you will probably find the older version v 1.7.2 of ADE will run fine on your old Pentium
    if that is more convenient than using the other one.

    This may or may not work for you.
    I could not update my DE, I just ended up in a loop.
    I set my default browser to Mozilla Firefox, fired up my out-of-date DE and everything then worked. It seems to be related to IE7 which I had.
    Incidentally, MF is always useful to have around, just in case....

    This product has been working until today
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling

    I don't know why it has stopped ~ maybe an incompatible Windows update.

  • How can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

    OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
    A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
    The tell-tail signs:
    PROBLEM #1
    While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
    Reference URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
    PROBLEM #2a
    Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
    PROBLEM #2b
    Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
    PROBLEM #2c
    There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
    PROBLEM #2d
    There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
    PROBLEM #3
    Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
    It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
      1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
      2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    PROBLEM #4
    Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
    PROBLEM #5
    The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
    [NOTE:  After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page).  I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
    PROBLEM #6
    While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
    [NOTE:  This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
    Reference URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
    ...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
    http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
    As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
    So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
    A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
    Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
    Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
    Sincerely,
    aadams77

    Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
    /Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
    /Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
    /Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
    /Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
    /private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
    /private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
    The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
    Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
    Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

  • Can no longer see my purchased books in Adobe Digital Edition software

    Because my purchased books are no longer listed on my Adobe Digital Edition software, they can no longer be downloaded into my E-Reader (due to Rights protection).  I do not understand why they disappeared from the Purchased list.  I would like Adobe to Re-install into my purchased list all my purchased books.  Would like some help with that.

    Very nice device the PRS-350, my wife and I both have them.
    Not exactly sure how much you have updated, so some of these comments may not be to the point ....
    Copying to the Sony should have worked as long as it is still registered with the ID used when you bought the books.
    Maybe the Sony lost its registration when you did Sony updates, and you need to reregister it?
    Nothing will work with a different ID; you can change the email address assocated with the old ID,
    but can't read books with a device registered with a different ID or transer them to a new ID.
    Probably when you updated your software ADE lost its repository.
    Adobe does not remember your books in any 'cloud' associated with your ID,
    the ID is just used to unlock the files you still have that are associated with the ID.
    Try opening the books on the USB on ADE (ctrl-O, menu/File/Add to Library).
    They should then appear again in the ADE library and you should be able to copy to the Sony (assuming registrations all correct).
    Or, if you want the books always available on the computer even without the USB,
    copy from USB to computer, then use ADE to open the copies on the computer.
    If ADE won't read the books either it is probably not correctly registered (with the original ID).
    One possibility is that ADE got confused about registration when you reinstalled (it often does).
    See ***1 note at end.
    Also, there is a bug in ADE2.0/2.0.1 that means they Sony devices won't work with library books on that ADE release.
    If you want to use library books, use the older more reliable version of ADE.
    See ***2.
    Good luck.
    ****1
    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.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

    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.
