How can I authorize my PC computer for Digital Editions after I have accidentally declined authorization?

I have used Digital Editions for about a year without any trouble. Today I was asked to "authorize" my computer. I declined and now am now prevented from copying my books to my e-reader. How can I fix this? This is a real drag.

I have this exact same problem, and I have assignments due that depend on accessing these books.

How can I re-activate eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions after changing the mother board of my MacBookPro?

After changing the mother board of my MacBookPro to fix the video display issue, all my previous eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions cannot be activated. The error message: "Activation Server error - code E_ADEPT_INTERNAL". Please advise what I can do to read my eBooks again?

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

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.

How do i use existing email address for digital editions

how do i use existing email address for digital editions

Three possibilities.
1) If you already have an up to date Adobe account with associated email, you need to register it with ADE.
menu/Help/Authorize Computer (Library/Authorize Computer on the older more reliable v1.7.2).
2) If you already have an Adobe account/ID and have books that have been bought using it, then you should change the email associated with that account.
Login at the adobe.com website ('sign in' near top right), using the old email the account is currently associated with.
(Doesn't matter if this is no longer valid as an email address, it is still valid to access your Adobe account)
Choose 'My Information' on the 'Welcome' dropdown, enter your new email in the appropriate place, and confirm changes.
You will later need to validate that new email address by clicking on the confirmation email it will send.
Then follow step 1.
If you have an old account and the email is no longer valid and you've forgotten the password, try Adobe Live Chat to get access to the account again.
3) You need to create yourself a brand new account.
Click the 'sign in' and choose 'Dont' have an Adobe ID'.
Once you have established oe, go to step 1

How can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
The tell-tail signs:
PROBLEM #1
While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
PROBLEM #2a
Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
PROBLEM #2b
Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
PROBLEM #2c
There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
PROBLEM #2d
There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
PROBLEM #3
Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
PROBLEM #4
Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
PROBLEM #5
The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
[NOTE: After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page). I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
Reference URL:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
PROBLEM #6
While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
[NOTE: This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
Reference URL:
http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
Sincerely,

How can i change the "main" computer for my iphone?

I just bought a macbook...but I initially backed my phone up to my dell pc that will now go in the trash...how do I get the new computer to be my main computer and bring everything from my old puter (like itunes and iphone backup) to my new one?

After complete reset of iPod after lockout, I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID. how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID. We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account. How can I fix this? Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recovery use of that account:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
If not successful, contact iTunes

Attempting to authorize my computer for Digital Editions

My e-book seller, which is supported, not in the drop down list and there doesn't appear to be a way to add it. How do I proceed with activation? Thanks

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum. Tkrep you will want to sign in using your Adobe ID. If you are posting in this forum you likely have an Adobe ID already. You can sign in or create an account at https://www.adobe.com/account/sign-in.adobedotcom.html.

How do I display peronalized photo recordsets for seperate users after they have logged in?

Hi everyone,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3, MacBook Pro Leopard 10.5.6 and MAMP 1.7.
I have created a login system using the instructions from David Powers book The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3, for a photgraphy website.
I have uploaded two pages from my login system login_success.php and username.php.
I am trying to achieve a situation where after the client has logged in successfully, they will be presented with a recordset of their own personal wedding photo's filtered from the image filenames in the database.
The username.php page is displaying one set of wedding photo's for client A, however when I click on client B's username listed in the list menu, then click the link for username.php, client A's photo recordset is still displaying, not client B.
How can I get the right photo recordset to display for the right client? Do I have to create separate recordsets for all of the different clients photos?
Please could someone help me with this, as I am going round in circles.
Thanks for your time.

Heya,
read your thread title; got the just of your desire and disregarded your post. Use a filtered recordset filtered by session variable of MM_username to differentiate between logged in-users info displayed on page. So database table should have a column for username id and you simply filter your recordset based off the session variable of the user id and there you go - your recordset results will be displayed based off logged in users' id.

How can I load an earlier purchased version of LR after I have installed a most recent preview?

I downloaded and installed LightRoom 5.7.1 30 days preview on a new NUC computer. The 30 days deadline has elapsed, and modules do not work any longer. Now I want to delete this version and install the 5.0 version I had purchased last year. But when I download the purchased version, the installer always installs the latest version, the modules do not work, and request a subscription. I do not want to suscribe, just want to be able to use the purchased permanent version. How can I install the purchased version on this computer?

You should uninstall LR 5.x.x using the normal OS uninstall process and download and install LR 5.7.1 from the Adobe Updates site: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
What happened is you accidentally installed the CC version of LR instead of the serial-number version. The link, above, has the latest serial-number-licensed version and that should work ok.
