How can I finish installing Digital Editions 1.7.2, and save my library and annotations?

In order to migrate my library from my old PC, the first thing I did was to install Digital Editions version 1.7.2  on my new PC. I couldn't install version 3 right away because then I'd lose thousands of annotations. I have to figure out what additional steps are needed to complete the migration and in what order.
I will copy all files in the \My Digital Editions directory from the old PC to the new PC. I also have to be sure the new PC can find my PDF files and notes in the directories on my new PC. This requires editing the MANIFEST XML file to change  the PDF directory locations. I hope that's the only XML editing I need to do, since I don't know XML.
I understand from another user (sjpt) that I may need to "deregister ADE on the new machine (ctrl-shift-D) and then reregister it." That may be due to Digital Rights Management. So I will activate my new computer with Digital Editions using an ID. I expect to do that step last, since I have just a few books with DRM.
I plan to perform these steps in the order I've described them.  I think I've identified all the steps needed to get Digital Editions 1.7.2 working. I'd welcome advice from other users who have experience in migrating their libraries. Thanks
P.S. Documentation on Digital Editions seems pretty minimal, so I'm wondering if Adobe is phasing out the product.

You can start by asking in the Digital Editions forum, Adobe Digital Editions. This is the Reader one.

    How can I migrate Adobe digital edition and its library from an old computer to a new one?

    Pertains to a Windows machine..
    Definitely get other opinions on this. I last did this myself in 2010.
    The most important thing, is to make sure you have an account (which I think you must have, or you probably couldn't have posted here).
    As I recall, I downloaded ADE to my new computer, launched the software, authorized the new computer by supplying my login, and then just moved the 'My Digital Editions' folder to the new machine.
    Be sure to de-authorize your old machine after you have done all of this, or over time you could end up exceeding your 'simultaneous devices'-limit for accessing your materials. I suspect that *from within the app itself, while it is still installed on your old machine* may be your only opportunity to do this. It is certainly the best/easiest.
    Hey Internet! Have you done this more recently than I? If so, please chime in to make corrections or add detail.

  • How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

    Sup buddies,
    How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
    As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
    needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
    all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
    TY...Over N Out... 

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • How can I fix Adobe Digital Editions from crashing on opening?

    I open Adobe Digital Editions it says "Verifying Documents" after a minute or so it crashes. What can I do?

    Ain't supposed to do that - and doesn't in a lot of installations.
    But let's have more information:  What computer system (Windows x or MAC)?
    What anti-virus and firewall if you're on a PC?  What version of the
    software?  Did you register with Adobe before downloading the software and
    installing it?
    All of these factors will be important to answering your question.  If
    you're a Windows person, then the anti-virus settings could be causing a
    problem.  If you didn't register with Adobe before installing the software,
    you could have problems, and so on.
    I'm looking forward to the challenge of this puzzle.

  • How can I restore a purchased TV season that I erased from my library and iCloud, and that isn't on my iTunes Store Purchased list?

         A few days ago I erased a TV season from my iTunes library, but also from iCloud accidently. Now that I want to restore it, I can't because it isn't on the iTunes Store Purchased list; even though that if I go to the page of the season, in the image it says that it is purchased, but I can't download any episode. What can I do to solve this?

    Re-sync your device to iTunes and uncheck Sync under Photos.

  • How do i get adobe digital editions to recognise my ereader

    how do i get adobe digital editions to recognise my ereader

    What kind of eReader is it?
    Some are not supported/recognized at all.
    There are quite a few eReaders that will work with ADE 1.7.2 but not with the current ADE 2.0.1.
    Adobe do not appear to have run any product tests on ADE 2.0/2.0.1.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    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.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    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.

  • HT1925 When I try to uninstall apple updater I get a message that says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I dont understand this. How can I finish uninstalling the apple update program?

    When I try to uninstall apple updater I get a message that says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I dont understand this. How can I finish uninstalling the apple update program?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I use Elements as Edit in using a Lightroom?

    How can I use Elements as Edit in in Lightroom using a Lightroom picture. I followed instructions: Photo/Add in/ and received in Elements a blanco screen instead of the picture selected in Lightroom. Please further instructions before ordering Elements 11.

    Dear Andaleeb,
    I have followed instructions as follows: In Lightroom I have installed Elements under extra plug inns. (on top of the screen reference is made  to Photoshop and not Photoshop 11). Under photo, cmd-e does not work since Photoshop is colored gray. As I have Elements installed under extra plug-inns this is highlighted. BUT………..Clicking that, the picture selected does NOT appear in Elements. The screen remains being empty! How can I solve this?

  • I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original window on my laptop

    I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original windows on my laptop. i have oem number,
    But i have troubol to finishing installation of window.

    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again
