Free sample book downloads - How do I get them into my reader?

Hi, All
I have just installed Adobe Digital Editions on my computer, running Vista. I tried to download 3 of their free samples. One, the first chapter of a book, downloaded immediately into Adobe Digital Editions and showed up on my bookshelf.
The other two, (books by Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick) did not show up in my Adobe Digital Editions bookshelf, no matter how many times I downloaded them. I found them in my recent downloads file, but could not open them from there, either, as they had a strange extension (not .pdf, but something else).
I've tried everything within my meagre capabilities and am becoming frustrated. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much for your quick response. However, I tried double clicking on the .acsm file but the book did not appear on the Adobe Digital Editions bookshelf or in any of the files.Do you have any other tips?
The sample chapter that did appear on my bookshelf (from another book) appeared instantly when I selected it, so I don't even know if that one was a .acsm file or something else.
Thank you!
Maureen

    READ the article from which the question was posted.  Then follow the instructions for importing content to iTunes on the computer.
    Once the content is in iTunes, connect the device, select the content desired to sync, and sync.

  • I am new to IPhoto 9.5  and I think I missed a step. I uploaded pictures but they do not appear as an event in my library.  They are in Last imported only. How can I get them into event.

    I am new to IPhoto 9.51  and I think I missed a step when I uploaded my vacation pictures. I uploaded pictures but did not import them into the library.  They are in L\last imported only.  How can I get them into events?

    If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
    The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
    Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

    I assume you have iTunes Match turned on in iTunes?
    You can create a smart playlist in iTunes that has "iCloud Status" is "Matched" or "Upload" - that will tell you what's in the cloud.

    changing the ram has nothing to do with the photos missing.  Did you install the ram or someone else?

  • I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imovie?

    I have home movies burned onto a DVD.  How do I get them into imove?

    i assume you mean for editing.  in that case, you're going to need either some software or hardware to convert the signal from DVD to something that iMovie can handle.
    there are a couple of devices out there that can convert sources like DVD, like a Canopus ADVC ($170), or the cheaper Elgato VCD ($85) that converts to mp4.  the main advantage of the Canopus is that i can convert from analog sources like VHS.
    if you're just working from DVD sources, then DVDxDV software ($29) will probably do the trick and be the most reasonably priced option.
    of course, these all are meant to be used for non-copyrighted DVDs -- they will not work on DVD's that have have copy protection, and no one here will discuss any illegal copying.

  • HT2518 I've transfered my PC documents to my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages? into Pages?

    I've sucessfully transfered documents from my PC to my new MacPro via Migration assistant, which was easy.  The documents are on my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages?  I used Microsoft 2007 on the PC.

    Thanks for the help, but I've dragged, dropped and done everything I can think of to get my documents into Pages, but they seem to ignore it.  The only way I can even find the documents from my PC is as a sidebar on Finder.  I can open each file in Finder, but there it ends. . . can't get them into Pages where I need them.

  • I had to update my ipad, and lost all my Harry Potter books! How do I get them back?

    Uploaded them from Pottermore from my home computer, then to the Ipad, Now with recent upload all my books are gone. How do I get them back? Any ideas guys!

    You have the files on your computer? If so, then just get them back into iTunes and sync them back onto your iPad. You can use the books part of iTUnes, or if you reader app has a data transfer option, use that to sync them back onto your device.

  • I am uploading a audio book. How do I get them to post in order in my library?

    I have an audio book that has over 30 cd's to the set.  My first problem is that even though I loaded them to my libary in order they did not post that way.  How can I get them to sort so that all of my cd's are in order for this book?  I figure that I have to correct it in my Itunes library before synciing it to my I-pod.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Generally a bad move to post your email address directly on any forums. Spammer's robots will pick them up to send you unwanted emails. I asked a host to edit out the link.

  • HT3819 I have bought a new computer because my old one is out dated.  I have upgraded everything, but my ringtones did not download how do I get them back?

    I just bought a new laptop, beacuse my old on was out dated.  On the old one my ringtones are on the itunes, however when I upgraded they did not download to the new computer in itunes, how can i get them back.  The old computer will not support the upgraded version IOS-5?  Thanks for your help.  Mitzi

    As far as I know ringtones can only be downloaded once. If they are still on your old computer then you should be able to copy them over via, for example, a flash drive, and then add them to the new computer's iTunes via File > Add File To Library (or Add Folder To Library) - they should then appear in the Tones part of your iTunes library.
    You should be able to locate where the ringtones are stored on your old computer by right-clicking on them in iTunes and selecting 'Show In Windows Explorer'

  • I have downloaded golf instructional videos, how do I get them into iTunes

    I find the four videos in the Finder under Movies.  I can open with iTunes, but how would I import them into iTunes so I can share and view on my Apple TV, iPads and iPhones?

    Or drag and drop the file(s) onto the iTunes window.
    Personally I had good experience with the mp4 format, which is the iTunes native format!
    Once the files have been added they will show up under the section MOVIES.
    From there you can give your videos further Meta Data to keep them organised, i.e. have them showing in the section TV SHOWS all under one TITLE.
