Download Error for digital edition 1.5?

When I click install on the main page for adobe digital edition, it says connecting. Then it comes back saying download error and no further explanation. I retryed several times. I am logged in as administrator. I am currently running XP and I have adobe reader 8 alreday installed.

For the record, here's how we resolved Joel's case..
Joel was getting this error when trying to open a just purchased book:
"Error during recovery after failed manifest save.
Error deleting file: manifest.xml
Error detail: Error #2038"
We had him de-activate, move the book to a backup (USB, etc), then re-activate and move the book back.. which resolved the issue.
Deactivate a PC with Digital Editions 1.x:
1. Launch Digital Editions 1.x
2. Enter the key-combination of Ctrl-Shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac OS)
3. At the dialog, confirm that you wish to de-activate the machine
4. Quit Digital Editions
To reactivate and authorize the machine using the same or a new AdobeID, just re-launch Digital Editions. You will be prompted to activate.
After activation he put the books back in his 'My Digital Editions' folder. Problem solved.

    Do you mean
    the download of Digital Editions software from the Adobe site,
    the download of the book from web (bookseller/library/...) into ADE,
    or the download from ADE to device?
    Which version of ADE?
    Which device?

  • Download error in digital editions

    I have had some problems downloading ebooks to digital editions.
    Two purchased books, and at least one book from Gutenberg have caused a problem. In the case of the purchased books it happens when I am downloading the book from the site, and in the case of the Gutenberg book it is when I copy it from a disk location. In all cases I receive the following window
    This document appears to have minor erros that might
    cause it to be displayed incorrectly
    ---errorListChange---
    The transfer fails and the book is not transferred. With the first purchased book I was informed by the supplier that they saw no problems at their end.
    This message is really useless. Is there somewhere that I can see what Digital Editions thinks the problem is (like a log or trace file)? Or can anyone tell me where to look to solve this?
    I am on a low speed modem connection. With the first book, I had the errors during low speed download. However when I did connect high-speed it worked. I will be trying to do this with the second purchased book. However the Gutengerg book was transferred internal to the computer.
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the Forum, however this one is for discussing, well the forums, themselves.
    I would Move your post, but am not 100% certain, where it should go.
    I think that you want this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/ios?view=discussions
    but maybe others can direct you. If that IS the correct forum, then I, or someone else can Move the post for you.

  • How do I choose download language for digital editions

    Most likely this is a very simple question. I am living in Belgium and choosed Belgium - English in the scroll down box. Nevertheless I can only download a dutch version of the program. How can I download an English version?
    Thank you for your help.

    The language is being determined by your operating system.  Which operating system are you using?  What language do you have it installed in?

  • I have downloaded overdrive on my windows 8.1 and authorized it for digital editions how to download my library book on overdrive bookshelf to my kobo

    I have downloaded overdrive on my windows 8.1 and authorized it for digital editions How do I download the library book on overdrive to my kobo

    This is probably the article that you were referring to with the registry fix:
    "Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
    stop unexpectedly..."
    This article was updated to state that the registry workaround is no longer required, as the Update has a fix in it. However, you still might want to check the power settings and make sure 'suspend' is disabled.

  • I downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition when I try to download my resource books I get this Error "Error: check activation" what could be wrong?

    I downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition when I try to download my resource books I get this Error "Error: check activation" what could be wrong?

    Have you activated Digital Editions with an Adobe ID (or a Vendor ID)?
    Go to the Help menu and select Authorization Information...
    A window will appear to display your authorization information. If your computer is not authorized, you'll need to do that before you can read any DRM-protected books. If you don't have an Adobe ID, you can create one here.

  • Why is EPUB not downloading to adobe digital editions anymore?

    I have Adobe Digital Editions and have downloaded EPUB from online bookshops previously but all of a sudden they won't download and the following message comes up "Connection Error Detected - Digital Editions couldn't connect to the fulfillment server, Please make sure you are connected to the internet" - I AM connected to the internet. I looked for updates to the digital editions but couldn't find any.
    If anyone could help - The online bookstore say the problem is not at their end.

    Hi,
    I looked at the link and it didn't work. I have uninstalled digital editions and reinstalled it and it still didn't work. I clicked "unblock" on the properties of the file concerned and it still didn't work. Any further suggestions would be appreciated if you have any.
    Thanks

  • Dowload error in Digital Editions

    I keep getting an error when I am trying to download an ebook onto Digital Editions. The error apparently means that the time stamp in Adobe doesn't match that of the ebook. I'm not sure how to fix that issue.

    On Mac, try looking in:
    /Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
    On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
    If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes during "Export Book for Digital Editions"

    InDesign CS4 crashes each time I select "Export Book for Digital Editions." I tried deleting my preferences and then creating books that contain only two very simple INDD documents, but I still get this error:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe
    R6025
    - pure virtual function call
    I can export books as EPUB files without problems on my personal laptop, which has InDesign CS5. But we're using CS4 at the office. Any ideas?
    I'm running InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6 on Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, HP Compaq desktop, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

    google r6025 runtime error and you'll see a lot of advice for tracking down and correcting the problem.

  • How can I authorize my new HP computer for digital editions?

    How can I authorize my new HP computer for digital editions/

    First download Adobe Digital Editions from: Download | Adobe Digital Editions.
    After that follow these steps:
    If you aren't prompted to authorize ADE the first time you open it, you can go to Help > Authorize Computer to start the process manually.
    If you have an Adobe ID, enter it along with your password.
    If you do not have an Adobe ID, click Create an Adobe ID to make one on Adobe's website.
    Once you're done, return to the "Computer Authorization" dialog box and enter your Adobe ID and password.
    Click Authorize. Your computer is now authorized with your Adobe ID.
    IMPORTANT: If you choose to authorize your computer without an ID, you will still be able to view eBooks on your computer. However, you will not be able to transfer or download those titles to other devices.

  • Strange interaction with XHTML For Digital Editions

    Hi all,
    I have written a scripted plugin with menuItems for Indesign CS4.
    This scripted plugin is interacting in a strange way with XHTML
    For Digital Editions. In my plugin there is a menu item that exports
    Indesign content to XML. When using this function an error is
    generated sometimes:
    error number 30476.
    The requested action cannot be processed because the object is no more existing.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Indesign CS4\Scripts\XHTML For Digital Editions\6
    Line:381
    There is a startup script to load my plugin and it uses a targetengine.
    How can it be that my plugin is interacting with "XHTML For Digital Editions"?
    Suggestions to solve this problem are very welcome.
    Kind regards,
    Michel

    Michel,
    to reduce confusion let's call a script a script rather than plugin, even if it is delivered as jsxbin.
    Isolation into a target engine is good, but the target engine is not at all indicated by the error message, so do not assume this is an issue.
    The error is about a strange file "6" containing at least those 381 lines, which during initial execution (when its functions were defined / installed) was located within that XHTML for Digital Editions subdirectory. If there is no such file, it could already be removed when the error pops up, who knows. That is, unless InDesign lies about the source file, but I have never heard of that.
    It would now be good to know who created that presumed temporary file containing 381 lines of executable code, e.g. by accidentally using a wrong path. One possibility is the implicit reference to the "Folder.current" variable by a relative path - do you use relative paths anywhere? Folder.current is explained in JavaScript Tools Guide available from ESTK Help.
    It would also be good to know whether your script uses try-catch brackets in all its entries (menu callbacks or other handlers), or why not. If this is new to you, this way you can intercept any system error message like the quoted one which is a very generic one, and add your own comments such as "while performing this/that task" or other context information. You could then also recover gracefully from any errors such as a stale references to a deleted object. For the beginning though, you can at least find out whether the problem is at all within your code.
    It is also generally good practice to have an option ready in source code that produces an exhaustive log file for any general steps but also caught error messages. It is not like walking around with a debugger, but you can find out the call chain and general area of code involved when the dreaded dialog pops up again.
    Finally if it is the same problem as mentioned by Ralf, you should better get in direct contact with him - this forum has a personal mail feature and probably both of you have a phone ;-) .

  • Is there a dictionary for Digital Editions

    I just downloaded a book and I'm trying Adobe to read it.
    Is there an English dictionary for Digital Editions with which I can look for a word meaning with a click or something similar?
    Arturo

    Not built-in.
    There are utilities to help: for example see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/download.htm and http://files.db3nf.com/DA-Setup.exe
    that will make that facility available on almost any application.
    I haven't tried them.
    They probably won't work for DRM books, because they probably rely on copy and paste.
    You'd need one that did OCR on the screen and then linked to a dictionary: not that hard to do but I don't know of one.
    If you are a bit technical you could set up http://sourceforge.net/projects/capture2text/files/Capture2Text/ to do it.
