  • I can no longer read DRM protected books

    I have had ADE and Sony Reader for PC for some years without any major problems. Recently I have been having some issues downloading a particular book - the acsm would not download the file. In trying to fix this I seem to have created a far worse problem. One of the fixes suggested was to ensure my computer was properly authorised - but I was unsure of my password on my Adobe account linked to my old email so not knowing what else to do I created a new account. Adobe have now rather unhelpfully removed the DRM from all my legitmately pruchased books. I have been wrestling with the earlier problems for over a week now and this latest hastle is the last straw.  My computer is Windows Vista and my ereader is Sony PR1, I thought this would need to be resolved by Adobe linking or merging my accounts but if anyone can help  I would be very grateful.

  • HT1351 I can no longer transfer music from my laptop to my ipod nano

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation and I have never had any trouble transferring music from my computer to my ipod. Recently when I try to transfer music nothing happens. The added music files do not show up in recently added. Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Try
    - Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Restore from backup. See:

    However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

    it seems to work when you reset the port
    try this only after you've made sure that any antiviral/firewall software isnt blocking iTunes and the internet connection settings are fine
    1. go to windows, accessories and right click on command prompt and run as administrator
    2. type in netsh winsock reset (i know sounds ridiculous but it works type WITH SPACES) and press enter
    3. Message saying "winsock reset successful now reboot your computer"
    4. restart your computer, and open iTunes..backup should run much smoother and faster
    5.Click on iTunes store might be working now

  • 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.

  • Can't transfer DRM protected items

    When I first downloaded Adobe Digital Editions to my computer, I did not select to transfer DRM protected items to another device. Now my computer is authorised without an I.D. Although I subsequently created an Adobe ID, I can not authorise my computer to transfer DRM protected files to another device. When I try to do this, I get the following message "Acivation Servor Error" "Code E_AUTH_NOT_READY". How do I solve this problem?

    Hi CLaudio
    Thanks again. I was able to find the solution to my question in a few minutes by looking at an answer to a similar question by someone else at the forum you referred me top.

  • Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6

    Can no longer transfer audiobooks from overdrive to ipod nano 6. Diagnostics: Connectivity test-ipod found. Sync test -ipod not found. This problem began about 2 weeks ago. I downloaded itunes update 12.1.0.71 about 1 week ago. I'm on Windows 7.

    Do you mean a playlist created by Overdrive?
    I downloaded the newest version of ODM yesterday.  Couldn't do it from within the application, had to uninstall/reinstall it.  Here's what's happening now with WMA, which is my preferred format:
    -Instead of just moving the audiobook and cover graphic and all that over as in the past, now ODM creates a separate playlist under 'Books' in your device.  Problem is, only some (seemingly random) tracks go over there.  The others just show up under 'Books' but not in the specified playlist, so you have to drag them over in iTunes.
    -If you stop listening, it starts over from the beginning next time you're ready to resume, so if you expect to find your place again right away like in the good old days, think again.
    -For me the WORST PART is only so much data of that sort is permitted under 'Books' so it seems, because after a certain threshold the transferred parts of books become greyed out and cannot be played.  You are limited to far less data in a period of time than previously.  I used to be able to keep several books on my device at once and listen to multiple things depending on my mood etc.  Now I can fit about 2-3 big books, or 4-6 smaller ones, MUCH less than previously was possible, which is a problem if you've waited for a popular title at the library that you don't have the room for (even though you have plenty of memory in the device).
    All in all, I think ODM need to get their act together.  We should not allow them to think they are done with this upgrade, the fixes might be okay for temporary, but they are unacceptable for a permanent format.  They have a phone number on their website.  I left a message.  Others have been tweeting them too, not sure of the contact info.
    Good luck everyone.  Post back here if you find something out.

  • Possible to convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3?

    I've been attempting to find a relatively simple way of converting DRM-protected WMA files to mp3 using my Mac and can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have figured this out by now. I can convert non-DRM WMA files to mp3 using EasyWMA, but this does not work for WMA files with DRM protection.
    I want to purchase songs from the 7digital store that are in the WMA format and have DRM protection, convert them to MP3 on my iMac, and then import them into iTunes. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard.
    Any suggestions?

    iTunes Windows will convert non-DRM tunes into .mp3. If you have iTS purchases that have DRM you can burn them to an audio format CD as AIFF file format.
    Check the terms of use and see what your options are for converting them to another format. With iTunes the path is to burn an audio CD. See if that is possible with the wma DRM.
    Likely in your case you are trying to crack DRM outside the original terms of use when you purchased the tunes.

  • Can I use a DRM-Protected Music video in my IDVD project.

    Can I download a DRM protected music video to a IDVD project and burn a DVD. The music video is not showing up in the media window in IDVD. Only ITunes Plus songs and videos, make it to the media window. I can't drag the video directly off ITunes. They say, I can burn a up to seven copy's of the DMR protected video/music, but how.. Thanks for any help.

    Didn't work, Window came up saying "Could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats. I was able to burn it to a DVD, it came up as a MPEG 4 file. Then I first went to the ITunes tool bar Preference>Advanced>importing>importing using>Aiff Encoder. Then tool bar again File> import. Music video imported another copy to ITunes library. Right mouse clicked second copy> convert selection to Aiff. Then "Could not convert" window came up.

    That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • 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.
    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. 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.
    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.

  • Transferring Overdrive protected WMA audiobooks to Nano

    Hi, got a new nano to listen to audiobooks from the library.
    Basic setup is
    2013 Ipod Nano 16GB
    Windows 8
    ITunes 12.0.1.26
    Overdrive 3.4.0.0
    Windows Media Player 12.0.9600.17031
    Windows Media Player DRM 2.9.0.1
    Because the WMA files are DRM protected, I am unable to simply drag and drop to add them to my iTunes music library.  I found lots of suggestions for how to add them to my iTunes at various public libraries, like this
    and this
    and this, which is on the official Overdrive site.
    No joy.
    I can verify that the files ARE transferred to the iPod--viewing the folder structure within the iPod Nano reveals the files as resting in the / directory.  But the player's software and iTunes seem to be unaware of them, so they can't be played.  The audiobook chapters don't appear under music, playlists, or audiobooks in the Nano.  Just to make sure, we transferred some MP3 audiobook files to the Nano, and that worked fine.
    The Overdrive Transfer dialog box (on the second screen, after having clicked Next once) has an Advanced Options button where one could change the directory to which the files are installed on the Nano.  The default is /.  Is there a better folder to save to so that the Nano recognizes the WMA files?  One possibility--some of the instructions indicated that the WMA files would be converted to AAC files on the player--this didn't happen.  Viewing the root directory of the player shows the files to be there in WMA format after using the Overdrive Media Console to transfer the files to the Nano.  Perhaps this is a clue to what's going wrong?
    We have the box checked in iTunes to Manually Manage the Music and Videos for the Nano, and the book we selected in Overdrive had a designation in the Digital Rights Information section as "Transfer to Apple® device: Permitted."  I'm stumped; thanks in advance for any ideas.
