HT2404 overdrive media console--where is my library book download?

I downloaded a library book into a zip drive, according to my list of downloads. is it possible to transfer it to my iPod nano?

Jeff, I'm pretty sure I activated Bluefire directly on my iPad.  Quite a time ago now, so I may have remembered wrong.
Overdrive partner with most of the UK public libraries for DRM loans.
I also only just realized Bluefire can download the .epub from the .acsm file, so no need for ADE at all.
I don't usually use my iPad for ebooks (much too heavy), so hadn't really used Bluefire that much.
I still need ADE to get the .epub so I can download it to the (Sony) eReader.
Anyway, it looks as if original poster is happy

  • ?How do I remove  audio books I got from the library using overdrive media console

    How do I remove audio books from my ipod touch  I received from the library using overdrive media console?

    To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book (Windows), select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.

  • I cannot stream video from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using Overdrive Media Console

    I am unable to stream videos from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using the Overdrive
    Media Console App. I can stream videos on my older iPad 1st generation.  Anyone else
    having his problem?

    The app gives you instructions to browse to the Overdrive site and put in your Zip Code. You can do this from Safari on the iPad. When you find your local library, you will be asked to log in with your Library Card and PIN. When you select compatible content, the Overdrive app will automatically launch, where it will give you the ability to download content segments, or even all segments. It will also help you keep track of when the book will expire etc. The books are broken up into many segments so that you can manage how much content is stored on your iPad. I did this just this morning, and downloaded 8 of 38 segments of the book 2666.

  • UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD LIBRARY BOOKS USING OVERDRIVE MEDIA CONSOLE

    Hello until recently I was able to download e books from the library to my PlayBook using Overdrive Media Console. I was able to get directly to my PlayBook. However it is now not working. I am unable to download to PlayBook. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. The only way I can read is through my browser. This means I can only read where I have Internet access. I can not understand why it stopped working. I contacted my library but they were not sure what the problem is. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I hope I can figure it out as I enjoy borrowing books from the library. 

    Looks like nobody on the forum uses overdrive. Threads are mostly a year old if you search for Overdrive on the forum.
    The recent reviews on blackberry world say that it no longer works.
    Google "overdrive media console on playbook."
    Check out the playbook instructions.   http://overdrive.com/files/TestDrive/playbooksetup​-P100.pdf
    Contact the developers
    Contact the library. 
    Remember they only sold two million playbooks worldwide which is a tiny number. Support for this minority app may be hard to find. 
    If you dare, you could try the security wipe and start again, but you may lose all your data as you need to backup and restore which is risky. 
    EDIT
    Ask your library if their website has been updated to the new system which may work differently.

  • Can not find WMA files in iTunes, for borrowing library books with Overdrive Media Console

    I have borrowed audiobooks from the library, using iTunes and Overdrive Media Console for years.  some months ago, I was suddenly unable to.  thought it was my old computer, so bought a new one.  took weeks to be able to get an upgrade from Windows, and when I was finally able to thought my troubles were over.
    but, no,  now the Overdrive Media says it can not connect to iTunes.  someone at Overdrive said iTunes had to be the default player for WMA files, but I can not figure out how to make that happen, since there is nothing that looks like 'WMA files' anywhere on my computer.  any advice?  I can't afford to purchase audiobooks, and I really miss being able to borrow from the library.  this new computer has Windows 8 OS

    There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

  • Tried borrowing ebook fr. Public library but cannot download the book 'coz my ipad2 is not wma supported. I downloaded the overdrive media console but still cannot get the ebook.

    How to download ebook fr. Public library? Tried downloading but ipad2 is not wma supported.

    Note comment about Macs and MP3 in intro below.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • Using Overdrive Media Console for iPad

    I would like to download audiobooks from my public library that has an Overdrive Media contract. I see an Overdrive app in the ITunes store for IPhone.
    Do I download the Overdrive Media COnsole for Mac to my iMac and then go through iTunes to get the MP3 files on my iPad?
    Or do I download the Overdrive Media Console for iPhone to my iPad?
    Thanks - I am new to all of this.

    The app gives you instructions to browse to the Overdrive site and put in your Zip Code. You can do this from Safari on the iPad.

  • How to transfer book from overdrive media console to iTunes 11?

    I've downloaded a book from my library using Overdrive.
    The Overdrive media console video shows how to load the book into iTunes.
    However, I cannot select iTunes as a destination for the download - iTunes launches when I go to the download selection window, but iTunes is not shown as an option (I can download directly into my iPods).
    How can I load the book into iTunes so that I can manage which iPod, etc. that I want to carry it at any given time?

    Do it for free on a PC running iTunes.
    Do it for free on an older Mac capable of running Audion.
    Conversion software (mostly commercial):
    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
    Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    VLC - not really a converter but will do some in the export menu but may be slow and a bit of a learning curve.
    Explore online converters where you upload a file in one format and download in another.

  • IPOD- Overdrive Media Console

    I use to be able to load books from the library to my IPOD touch using Overdrive Media console without a problem.  I upgraded my PC to Windows 7 which required me to reload all the programs on my PC and now I have problems. 
    I can download the books to Overdrive Media Console without a problem.  When I transfer the books to my IPOD, they  end up in the playlist area NOT in the Books folder.  It appears that the books in the playlist area do not remember where you stopped listening which makes listening to books basically impossible.  How do I change this?

    It appears that iOS 5.1 did not fix the prolbem. See this recent discussion.

  • Overdrive media console

    I upgraded to os5 and went to library to download book which downloaded but can't find book.  I emailed overdrive and they told me to upgrade but their is no upgraded version to download .  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have been in communication with Overdrive support without luck. There is a new update as of today 11/3/11 for overdrive version v3.2.07. Below is the message they sent me. However, I am sad to say this still is not solving my problem (but it might work for you).
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? I have completely uninstalled iTunes and Overdrive, and I've checked the suggested settings. After installing this last update, I received an error message in iTunes that said, "itunes could not copy ["name of audiobook"] to the ipod cause an unknown error occured (-120)"
    We're happy to report that OverDrive Media Console v3.2.0.7 has been released
    and should resolve the issue that you are experiencing. You may download the
    updated version from our website at the link below.
    http://overdrive.com/Software/omc/
    After installing the update, attempt to transfer an OverDrive WMA title to your
    device. Once you have transferred a WMA audiobook to your device, a playlist
    will be created for the audiobook where it can be played. Please note that WMA
    audiobooks will not be listed in 'Audiobooks' on your iOS 5 device. You may
    also need to take the following steps to move parts of the audiobook to the
    created playlist:
    1. Connect your device to your computer.
    2. Open iTunes.
    3. Click on 'Books' located under your device name in the left column of
    iTunes.
    4. Drag the parts over to the playlist created for the audiobook, which is also
    located under your device name in iTunes.
    5. Verify that the parts are in the correct order.

  • Overdrive Media Console App

    Downloaded Overdrive Media Console to hopefully download books from my local library
    I get the welcome page but dont know where to go from there
    The welcome page gives a audio description of what is contained in it, but where do I go from there. I have tried all the buttons on the welcome screen to no avail
    Thanks

    All is well,
    I just had to slide finger down from top of bezel to get to the menu
    Works great , can now read my library books- guess the Sony reader can be put aside

  • Transferring protected WMA audiobooks to iTunes/iPhone using OverDrive Media Console

    Hi there,
    My local library is now offering audiobooks. I have downloaded one, that went fine - I have the file and can listen to it. The problem is that I can't seem to transfer the WMA Audiobook to my iPhone using this software they provided (OverDrive Media Console), even though their website says that it can be transferred to apple devices (including my iPhone) and the library site says that this particular audiobook is permitted to be transferred to apple devices (including the iPhone).
    When I try to Transfer using the OverDrive Media Console, I get this error:
    "The OverDrive Media Console Transfer Wizard is not able to connect to iTunes. If you intend to transfer content to the iTunes Library and/or a supported Apple device, please note that iTunes v9.0.2 (or newer) is required. iTunes is available as a free download from Apple; visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download to download iTunes. If your system meets this requirement, please close any open iTunes dialog boxes then attempt to transfer again."
    I have read that others have had the problem, but there are few solutions emerging, from what I can see anyway.
    I have went to this website (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite) in my Internet Explorer browser and upgraded the Windows Media Player security version. OverDrive says my security upgrade version is 2.9.0.1.
    My iTunes is up to date as far as I know. iTunes 10.4.0.80. Perhaps the recent update is something to do with this problem? I don't know. I am using Windows 7, and the OverDrive Media Console version is 3.2.0.5.
    I have changed my iPhone settings to "Manually manage music and videos", as OverDrive requests this.
    When I try to put these protected WMA Audiobook files into my Automatically Add to iTunes folder, I get an error message saying:
    "One or more of the songs being added are in the protected WMA format, including the song "examplesongname01.wma", and could not be converted.
    iTunes can only convert unprotected WMA songs. If you have the original CDs for these songs, you can import them using iTunes."
    I have restarted iTunes, OverDrive Media Console, and my computer countless times. My home network sharing is turned off; I mention it as I saw someone had suggested that as a solution.
    The two suggested solutions I haven't tried yet are:
    - convert them to MP3
    - uninstall and reinstall iTunes & OverDrive Media Console again.
    I don't really want to uninstall iTunes. I have a lot of music and audiobooks; it takes half aday for iTunes to load them all up again. As for converting to MP3s; I don't know if this is legal. Plus, I don't know if these protected DRM files can be converted like that.
    Ok, well I hope someone else was in the same boat & solved it. Otherwise it'd be a real shame if we couldn't get these protected WMA audiobooks onto our iPhones.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    Once you have downloaded the audiobook to Overdrive Media (OMC), you need to connect the Apple device to which you wish to transfer the ebook, then use the transfer button on OMC.  That converts it to an mp3 file.  The ebook cannot be transferred to iTunes.  iTunes is simply the medium used in the transfer to an Apple device.  The tutorial below covers all the specifics.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.

    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.

  • Overdrive Media Console app for old ipod touch with ios 4.2.1

    A friend recently gave me an "old" ipod touch. According to my itunes software, Its os is now up to date with version 4.2.1. I want to download the app for Overdrive Media Console, but current version 4.6.2 of Overdrive requires requires ios 4.3. Is there a way to download an earlier version of the app that will work with my ipod touch? Thanks for your reply.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
