Help with adobe digital editions

I purchased a math ebook last month and was able to download adobe digital editions, but having problems. When I try to scroll through the book it takes forever, very slow. Also some pages are superimposed over others and I cannot read some of the text. This is making homework for tedious and impossible. Any suggestions?

Worth seeing if the older version is better (it is for most things, though not quite all).
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.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it. I do have an Adobe ID.
I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
This article discusses the issue in more detail:

Problems I'm having with Adobe digital editions

Hi.
I hope that you can help me sort out the problems I’m having with Adobe digital editions. I installed it when I bought an e-book reader, and it worked just fine.
I think the problems started after I downloaded some updates, and I can still download books from my public library onto my laptop, but can’t transfer them to my e-book reader.
It says that my laptop is not authorised, and when I try to authorise it I get the following statement which is printed in red on my screen.
Activation server error.
Code: e_auth_not_ready
Digital edidtions encountered an error on the activation server
I hope that the above will give you some insight into what my problem might be, and that you can suggest a fix for it.
Thank you so much for any help you are able to give me.
Regards, ron.
ps I'm using ver 3 and can't find answers in the FAQ section.

Thanks!

Trouble Authorizing Computer with Adobe Digital Editions

I'm unable to authorize my computer with Adobe Digital Editions. It just gets 'stuck' on the authorizing computer page, it tells me to wait whilst the green bar moves backwards and forwards for hours. I've tried reinstalling the software but it didn't help.
I searched for help and there was mention of reducing my security settings, which would these be? I'm using Windows 7, I've tried switching off all firewalls and I'm using the administrator account.
I'm not very tech savy so any advise in simple terms would be appreciated! Many thanks

I have the same problem. I am also running Windows 7, however, within VirtualBox. I hope this makes no difference.
I switched off firewall and reduced security settings to the lowest level. I installed and afterwards started the software having admin rights.
The problem occurs with ADE 2, 3 and 4.
The authorizations does not have an end. The green bar is moving for hours with the message "authorization running".
Can anyone help??

Unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition

unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition ..instead i keep getting the error message ''unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition''

Not seen that message before, but two standard suggestions that may help.
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
2) ~~~~~~~~~
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.

Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

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.

Stop using the account.
You need do nothing more.
You will need to authorize your computer for both accounts as you have purchased from both accounts.

I have a Kindle and have just purchased 4 new e-books - downloaded with Adobe Digital Editions. Now how do I get them on my Kindle?

To remove the book simply touch and hold the cover on the main page. A little pop up will ask, remove? Say yes. The book content will de deleted. The cover will remain on your main page with a little down arrow so that you can redownload it if you wan in the cloud view. In the device view, it simply disappears.
Note at the bottom of the page are a couple of switches, labeled cloun and device. The device switch shows you books on your device. The cloud page shows your whole catalog, and the down arrow allows you to bring down anything in your catalog to the device.

Do embedded bitmaps in fonts really work with Adobe Digital Editions?

I just made an interesting observation:
I had turned the glyphs of a ttf-font by 90 degrees but the program that I used left the embedded bitmaps in the EBDT tables of the font unrotated. Using this font for example with Word had the interesting result that the font sometimes showed up correctly and sometimes not, depending on the size of the text on the screen.
Interestingly enough, using the same font as an embedded font with Adobe Digital Editions 1.6 the font showed always up correctly on all sizes of the text.
For me this looks as if Adobe Digital Editions does currently not support embedded bitmaps in ttf - fontfiles.
Anybody had the same experience or knows about an official statement from Adobe concerning this?

Fixed Layout EPUB, Buttons dont work with Adobe Digital Editions

Hello Community,
I am working with InDesign CC 2014.1 and Adobe Digital Editions 4 (ADE).
I am developing a FXL epub. When viewing the exported epub with ADE the buttons don't work.
I also tried to view other epubs as the one mentioned in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1684411
No animations work.
can someone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Stephan

ADE is not a very good FXL EPUB reader. Try iBooks, Readium for Chrome or Kobo.
