Error message on Nook device

After working fine for years, now I cannot open my downloaded library books in my Nook - I get the following message: Error - User Not Activated. The books are in my Adobe Digital Editions on my computer, as usual, but will not open in my Nook. Can anyone help?

My local library gave me the solution: Apparently sometimes the Adobe authorization on the Nook disappears, so you have to reauthorize it. The steps depend on your version of Adobe Digital Editions (I think mine is probably an older version as I've used this device for several years). Try contacting your local library and/or possibly Barnes & Noble support for specifics. I had to do the reauthorization through my computer, which basically involved deleting two files from my Nook, disconnecting the Nook, opening Adobe Digital Editions, reconnecting the Nook, which then prompted me to authorize the device. It worked! Then I transferred the library books back into my Nook from my Adobe Digital Editions. Good luck!

error message on reading device saying error dialog user not activated. unable to open book to read

I had Adobe upgraded to from 1.2. to 4.1 on my Glow Light Nock at Barnes and Noble yesterday. I use a MacBook Pro 2011 upgraded to 10.10.1. I have never had a problem download a book from the library to my nook in the past. By the time I get this issue resolved, my 2 week book will be overdue and my book club discussion 1/21. I have been to the genius bar at Apple store--not their problem. Two trips to B&N and
the tech guy said he could fix the problem on a PC but not a Mac. It is not a Mac or Nook world.

Hi,
Could you please have a share with your phone's information?
Based on what I know, different phones may have different softwares developed by the manufacturer to make the connection through Windows operating system, we may check with the phone's manufacturer side and see if there could be some helpful information
offered.
Besides, please take a check with
Event Viewer and see if any special errors logged there.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

Hello!
I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
I could really use some help solving this.
I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
Help a brother out, will you???

Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
- Turn off computer.
- Plug Shuffle into usb.
- Then you must reset your shuffle
To reset iPod shuffle:
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
- Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
- Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".

When I try to install iTunes on my Windows computer I get an error message, "Apple Mobile Device failed to start". After an incomplete installation when I try to open iTunes I get an error message, "MSVCR80.dll missing". I downloaded MSVCR80.dll.

Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 Ext HD Error Message says USB device has malfunctioned

Hi
I have Windows XP and have been using my Toshiba External HD for a few years.
I am a novice.
Suddenly yesterday the below message appeared and I cannot get any computer to recognise the device.
"+USB Device Not Recognized+
+One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. For assisstance in solving this problem click this message+."
I've tried to reinstall the drivers from the internet & the HDD CD but the same message occurs.
I've installed it onto another computer and the same error message.
The device still makes a noise and the blue light is on but no other action.
Is there anything I can easily do?
Many thanks in anticipation

> I thought that sort of stuff wasn't meant to happen to external drives....
Why not? The external HDD is the same like an internal notebook HDD which dies as well
> Any other suggestions welcome
I assume this is a 3.5 HDD
You could remove this HDD from the HDD case and could connect this HDD directly to an desktop PC using an IDE or SATA cable (Im not sure if this is an SATA or IDE HDD).
If the BIOS would recognize the HDD then you would have good chances to get access to the data stored on this HDD.

I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

When dowloading itunes, constantly get error message 'Apple Mobile Device -could not be installed- Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.

When downloading itunes to my pc, get error message 'Apple mobile device could not be installed - verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services'
i am forced to abort/cancel. Can anyone help please?

Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.
Frustrated.

Verify that you have sufficient privilages to start system services. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and continue to receive this message. I have untl now had no previous problems downloading iTunes.. any help would be greatly appreicated.

I tried and don't have that.
Doublechecking. Do you mean you you don't have the QTMovieWin.dll?
Did you proceed with the measures after that? (In the second box?)

ITunes error message saying the device is over capacity

Hi,
Every time I plug my iPhone into iTunes I get the error message saying the device is over capacity. However, before connecting I had at least 700mb free storage space. No new apps or anything has been installed so why am I suddenly over capacity?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Library download error message on nook touch

Recently I updated my nook touch. Before the update I was able to download books from the local library. Now i get an error message which states 'not activated'.

It has probably lost its ADobe ID activation over the update.
Connect it to computer via USB and run ADE.
Just in case it has half a memory of the old activation, hit ctrl-shift-E to ADE to remove any vestiages.
Restart ADE
Under the library menu, choose 'Activate Device'
That should (fingers crossed) bring it back to a properly activated state.
