Down load e books into i Pad

We purchased an E book with the title of Adobe After eEffects CS6 Visual Efects and Colmpusition Studio Techniques from Adobe Press and downloaded the file as an EPUB file onto a PC running Windows XP.  The final destination for this file is onto an iPad.  We realise that to do this we have to transfer the file via i Tunes on the PC.  The problem is that this type of file will not transfer into i Tunes for the transfer.  It would have been a lot easier if we could have called up the download on the i Pad and made a direct transfer but to our knowledge this can't be done.  Please advise. 

If you still want to try the Dropbox route here are some questions/suggestions. 
Always difficult to diagnose for someone else when it is working here. Some suggestions a bit silly, clutching at straws.
I haven't seen any other comments on the web of the Dropbox/Bluefire reader combination failing to work.
Just double checking.
You did use the right hand of three top right icons in Dropbox, with the arrow pointing down into the box?  (Goodness knows what that is meant to mean!)
Sounds as if you must have done, otherwise it would't have come up the the 'no installed apps' message.
Have you authorised the Bluefire reader to your AdobeID?
I would have thought that if you hadn't, it would be the Bluefire reader that said it couldn't open the .epub,
rather than Dropbox not knowing about the Bluefire reader.  But ...???
Have you run the Bluefire reader on the iPad.
Maybe on first run it does something to tell other apps around that it exists?
I have the following versions installed on the iPad.  Some difference here could be what is making mine work and yours not?
Dropbox Version 2.0
Bluefire Reader, Version 1.9
ios version 6.0.1 (10A523)
iPad 2 (apparantly model MV775B)
I just did another experiment and found that transferring the .acsm file via Dropbox works as well (for me).
When the .acsm file is displayed in Dropbox on the iPad it displays the xml content of the file, but still has the dropdown for 'Open in Bluefire Reader'.
Opening this caused Bluefire to re-dowload the .epub file direct to the iPad.
~~~
Another suuggestion I have seen ( http://www.pldminfo.org/search/digitaldownloads/iPadBluefire.pdf ) to avoid the need for iTunes
is to mail the file to yourself.  I've just tested that with both .acsm and .epub files and it works for me.
It probably uses the same 'cross-application' mechanism that Dropbox uses to open files,
but maybe for some reason it will work for you where Dropbox failed.

    When using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part. I get no indication on the ipod of the book downloading. Is this a operating error or posable failure of the I pod.?

  • Down loaded Library book, now want to return ebook

    down loaded library book via 'MY MEDIA' and Adobe ,  now want to return Ebook. Cant get from MY MEDIA anymore to Adobe bookshelf

    I changed the code I had teh rror with to return just list. It complies OK now but when I run the client it says:
    java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is:
    java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableE

    at PhoneClient .main(DvdClient.java:161)
    Caused by: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializab
    leException: PhoneDetails
    It has a problem with the line loadedlist = remote.readFile() I think (I do have loadedlist declared as a PhoneDetails[] loadedlist PhoneDetails[250]; in PhoneClient, you just can't see it).

  • I can not down load camera raw into cs3.

    can not download my camera raw files into cs3

    If you have a camera that is newer than what was supported in that version then you will either have to upgrade to the current version of Photoshop or else you can use the free DNG converter to create digital negative copies of your raw images. Those will open with what you have now. There will not be any more updates for Camera Raw for Photoshop CS3. That version is out of production and is no longer being supported or updated by Adobe.

  • Loading library book into ADE

    Hi all,
    Seems as if a few people have had probs getting library books onto ADE. I did it awhile ago (somehow) but can't seem to do it now. I have Windows XP running ADE 1.7.2.1132. Been browsing the library, found an interesting book, checked it out and when I get to the download page is where the problems begin. Clicking the download link opens ADE but the book never appears. No message, nothing. "Authorize Computer..." says it is authorized to my email. I'm a little stumped. Anyone with ideas on what the problem might be?
    Thanks,
    -steve-

    Hi,
    In order to fix the problem you can try following.
    Solution ) Delete following folder from your computer.
    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\My Digital Editions\Restore
    Delete Restore folder and then open book again.
    HD:/Users/UserName/Digital Edittions/Restore (If you are using MAC)
    Solution 2) Download the file first once downloaded right click on the file and choose Open with>>Adobe Digital Editions.
    I hope this will help you!!!
    Regards
