How to move ebooks from one account to another

I have some books bought on an old computer with an old email account. It seems that this adobe account doesn't exist anymore
I have an new computer now and want to move the books to digital editions on this new computer. I haven a new adobe account how can I transfer these books ?
thx
Gerard

I can't answer properly, but a few things.
The ID is not hard-wired to the email address. 
There is an internal ID which is the 'real' fixed id, and (if you manage to login) you can change the email address associated with it.
It looks something like "urn:uuid:ff2ddc22-eca0-46c6-a84d-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
I've copied a post below that shows how to get the internal id from a .epub book that is assoicated with it.
If you've got the new ADE2.0, when you do ctrl-shift-I it tells you the internal ID as well as the currently associated email address.
I'm pretty sure that both the older and the newer ADE remember both the internal ID and the email address.
If you update the email address associated with the ID, ADE catches up with the email address at some point, but I'm not sure exactly how.
I changed the email address associated with my ID a couple of months ago, and both ADE2.0 and ADE1.7.2 are now showing it correctly, but they didn't immediately.
Maybe they sync it up the next time you actually buy/borrow a book ~ but that is pure hypothesis.
The ID is not specifically associated with ADE; it is a generic Adobe ID used for all sorts of other things.  It won't actually have been generated by ADE, and it shouldn't make any difference which version of ADE you were using when you first got the ID.
I don't know if Adobe can access your account based on the internal ID.  Clearly most of the software can and does do its access by internal ID, but it depends how the database is surfaced to the admin staff whether they can access it that way.  It may well be that if you are lucky with an admin they will know how, and that others less well trained will tell you it is completely impossible.
Sorry if that is all a bit confusing: I hope it helps.
~~~
Finding the internal ID.
You can't find it in the .acsm.  The .acsm is downloaded before the book is associated with an AdobeID;
its association with the ID is created when the excrypted .epub file is created/downloaded, and held at the server end.
However, you can find the AdobeID (at least in internal form) from the .epub file.
To see the AdobeID from an encrypted .epub file:
Open the file as a zip archive. 
If you have a good zip archive manager like 7zip you can do this directly.
Otherwise, you must rename the .epub file to a .zip file to open it.
Find the file rights.xml inside the zip; probably META-INF\rights.xml
Inside that file, you will find a section that looks something like <user>urn:uuid:ff2ddc22-eca0-46c6-a84d-xxxxxxxxxxxx</user>
That is the AdobeID.
The ID was stored only in its internal form, and not by the username that belongs to the ID.
However, if you are on ADE2.0 you can use Help/Authorization Information (ctrl-shift-I, cmd-shift-I on Mac) which will show you both the external username and the internal ID.
At least you can check that way if ADE thinks you have the correct AdobeID for the book; but if you haven't it won't remind you of the username you used.
I don't know if Adobe service are able to find the userid if you can give them that internal ID.

  • How to move contacts from one account to another

    I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
    I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
    How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
    How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
    Thanks

    I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
    In answer to your second question:
    To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
    1.     Go to Settings
    2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
    4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
    5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear.  Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
    If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

  • How to move data from one account to another?

    Sheesh, I think I've created a monster for myself.  I got a new macbook pro and migrated my data from Time Machine.  As I was doing everything I didn't realize that the set up for the computer was in a different account than the migrated data went to.  So I have my main account on the computer and another account with all my emails, itunes pics etc. 
    I think the other account is considered the main account on the computer so just to make sure I have all my privileges etc, I want to transfer all this data into the main account.  Does that make sense? 
    I started figuring all of this out as a problem when my second account (the one with all my old data) could not download podcasts.  I can do that with the main account. 
    Anyway, can anybody tell me a simple way to transfer all of this?  Should I just try to start all over?
    Thanks!

    The Users -> shared folder is a common ground all accounts share.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

    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.

  • How to transfer music from one account to another through an iphone?

    Recently, I was able to get a brand new laptop. I was excited to finally be able to purchase my own music from my own iTunes account, but over the past few years, I'd been buying songs off of my family's shared iTunes account. How can I transfer the songs I purchased from there onto my new iTunes library with my individual account?

    I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
    Should you have any movies, though, these cannot  be transferred.

    Hello,
    Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
    ** Fast & simple file copy. */
    public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
    FileChannel in = null, out = null;
    try {         
    in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
    out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
    long size = in.size();
    MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
    out.write(buf);
    } finally {
    if (in != null) in.close();
    if (out != null) out.close();
    ================SECOND WAY============
    AND THIS WAY:
    // Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    copy(src, dest);
    src.delete();
    // Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
    // Transfer bytes from in to out
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
    out.write(buf, 0, len);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
    Thanks in advance,
