How can I reset association of my Adobe ID with all computers and devices, so I can restart from scr

I need to reset my Adobe ID to start using Digital Editions

Do you mean (1) you have run out of devices on your ID and need to have them reset.  see 1~~ below
Or (2) you want to use a new ID on all devices ... don't forget you will lose access to all books using the old ID if you do this. see 2 ~~~ below

Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html,
or as a slight short cut try http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=digital-editions&topic=using-my-product-or-ser vice
Click on 'I still need help' and then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.
'Ask our experts' will indeed just lead you back to this forum.
Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
(Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations  (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) .  Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

To deactivate ADE on computer, use ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac)
To deactivate ADE on a dedicated eReader device, use ctrl-shift-D to ADE while the device is plugged in (cmd-shift-E on NMac)
To deactivate ADE on a tablet, see the help for the ereader app you are suing on that tablet.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    I for got the answers of my security questions, how can restart the security questions?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    I for got the answers to my security questions. I can't retrieve the answers because I don't have access to my old email account. how do I reset my security questions, if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT1420 My old computer crashed so I bought this new one. I can't get my prevouis purchases and my new purchases will not let me add to my IPODs. I deauthorized all computers and just authourzed ths one. my new one. How do I get my music back and how do I

    My old computer crashed andI bought a new one. When I went to Itunes I deauthorized all computers and then authorized my new one but I can not get my prevous purchases and I can not add my new purchases to my IPods with out it deleting all the music. How can I transfer everything that was on the old computer to this new one?

    Whether you can redownload previous purchases depends upon the type of item (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all countries), and whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items) - what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
    Or you should be able to copy purchases back from your iPod via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option (if the drop-down menus aren't showing then control-B should get them to show).
    If you have music from other sources on your iPod (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Or do you have a copy of them anywhere else e.g. on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy them onto your new computer from ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean from the iTV player app, that's because iTV block AirPlay from working with their app.

  • How can upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 .

    how can upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 . I have no CD of any form.

    If you do indeed have a Mac Pro according to Apple menu -> About This Mac, there is no reason why you can't go straight to 10.6.8:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    Above that, read this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
    It is cheaper than 10.5, and will give you more compatibility with more software that is current.
    PowerMac G5, G4 867 Mhz or higher (1 Ghz is higher), Powerbook G4 867 Mhz or higher, iBook, iMac G5, iMac G4 1 Ghz higher, eMac 1 Ghz or higher
    can all only go up as high as 10.5.8, but also lose compatibility with Classic.  Some of those machines can dual boot Mac OS 9 from 2001 & Mac OS X 10.5 as this article says:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1757
    800 Mhz and less, including dual processors are stuck with 10.4.11.

  • TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

    I hope this helps!

    Everything should be on your computer.  Just sync it back.

  • How to most efficiently export photos on their original format with all metadata and adjustments?

    How do I most efficiently export photos on their original format with all metadata and adjustments applied? I am looking for a solution for exporting corrected photos between computers with Lightroom 5 installed. Preferably with no exporting or merging of catalogs.
    Thanks in advance for you support,
    JP Jacobsen

    And yet exporting a catalog is the perfect solution for communicating with another LR catalog...
    But if you really want to export photos , File>Export should work. I guess I don't really understand what your concerns are.
