I can't get my Adobe Digital Edition to open after almost a year with no problems

I have used Adobe Digital Edition to download books from my library to transfer to my Nook. I started last December and never had a problem. Today I tried to download a book and ADE never opened. I tried to open ADE separately and can't get it to open. I rebooted, no help. I have a HP Windows 7 machine. Any ideas? Do I need to re-download ADE? Should I uninstall my current version first? Thanks for any help you can give me. I am a bit shy to do this, as I have seen foruns talking about user activation issues, and hope to avoid that possibility.

Well, I seem to be running into problems at every step.
I made a copy of the Digital editions folder ("My Digital Editions)- under my documents- (with annotations and thumbnails inside) and also made a copy of Manifest.xlm and renamed the folder and the Manifest file. That folder that had all those items did not have the uninstall .exe in it. It did have a setup.exe file in it. However the uninstall program was in a folder titled Adobe Digital Editions, which was under Program Files (x86). In addition to the uninstall file, there is a file named digitaleditions.exe
After making copies and renaming as you suggested above, I did the uninstall. it ran very quickly and said it was completed. However, nothing was removed from any of my digital edition folders. The file digitaleditions.exe is still in the folder under Programs (x86), although the uninstall .exe file is gone. I also went to the control panel and did an uninstall of digital editions from there-it was still showing up after I ran the uninstall program. the program now no longer shows up on my list of programs(from the start button, all programs selection), although again the digitaleditions.exe prorgam still shows in the folder.
I went to adobe to download the program again. When I try to launch the program I get a window asking for my administrator password. I know it, put it in, but I get an error message about bad password. I know the password is correct because it is the same one I log in with every start up. I only have one password. I then went to the "having trouble downloading" page on the adobe site and followed those instructions.(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html) and followed their uninstall previous versions directions. The adobe digitaleditions program was not there to uninstall as I had done this earlier. I clicked on the link to manually install, hitting the "run" buttons as instructed. It seems to download but then nothing happens. I can't seem to get a download from adobe. I still have all my files in the "my digital editions folder- annotations, thumbnails etc. The set.exe is still there. I also have these copied and renamed in a different directory. And in my Adobe Digital Editions folder, the digitaleditions.exe file is still there. Nothing ever got put in the trash folder. (Note that I tried to download a book from the library and it couldn't fiind ADE.) I tried to download ADE from their webpage and same thing- nothing happens. Do I need to pay Adobe to let me get this file redownloaded and installed? There seems to be something stuck. If you have any more advice I sure would appreciate it.
thanks
Ron

The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
For not showing in iTunes:
- Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
- Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
- Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

I have the same question.
IPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.2. I ordered some ebooks that required the download of Adobe Digital Editions. I select the supplied link to the Adobe site, select download, and I am given the option of windows or Mac OS. I wandered through the site and even googled an iOS version with no luck. I thought maybe the Mac OS version might be universal to apple products so I downloaded it and tried to open it in One Note, One Drive, and Google My Drive with no luck. The .dmg file is not recognized. So, I'm back to looking for an iOS version. Is there one?

Hi,
In order to fix the problem you may follow steps as given below.
Solution 1) 1) Open Digital Editions.
                    2) Connect the Reader
                    5) There you will find a new drive created similar to C or D drive under "My computer".
                    6) Open the Readers Drive and you will find a folder with name "adobe.digital.editions".
                    7) Delete this folder and plug off and re plug in the Reader.
                    8) Authorize Reader from the same Adobe ID which you used to Authorize Adobe Digital Editions.
..                  9) Now try to transfer books to your Reader
Solution 2) Modify the manifest.xml file located in C:\Usres\Username\My Documents\My Digital Editions:
1) Quit Digital Editions
2) Make a backup copy of the manifest.xml (call it something like manifest.good)
3) Open manifest.xml in notepad
4) It will appears as one big long line of xml, and you are looking for a tag called start at the begginning of this
    and select until you the end of the tag that looks called </de:deviceID>
5) If you have attached more than one Reader there may be multiple of these. Delete all of them to make sure.
6) Save the file (manifest.xml) and quit out of notepad
7) Ensure you have the Reader plugged in
8) Launch Digital Editions
9) The Device Setup Assitant should come up.
a) Do NOT click on the "Don't ask again for this device" checkbox.
b) Do click on the "Authorize Device" button.
I hope this will help you.

Rizwan

When I plug my ereader into Adobe Digital Editions it opens up multiple copies of books.

I'm having some problems with Adobe Digital Editions. When I plug my ereader into Adobe Digital Editions it opens up multiple copies of books. These are books I've either bought or am borrowing from the library. The books in some cases are no longer even on my computer (returned to library). Is there a way I can stop this? Do I have to uninstall then reinstall Adobe Digital Editions?

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

As this is an adobe DRM protected book you will need to import the book with adobe digital editions to open this book. I USED ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS TO UP LOAD THE BOOK TO MY TABLET. HELLP

How do I get my Adobe Digital Editions to recognize my device?

How do I get Adobe nDigital editions to recognize my device?

Adobe Digital Editions is not available for an iPad. It's only on Macintosh and Windows platforms.

Is the Adobe Digital Edition (e-reader from the library) compatible with Adobe Reader X

I have Adobe Reader X on my computer, and recently downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition so that I can read books from the library. However, when I attempt to download a book, the Adobe Reader X opens, and I get the message....
XXXX book could not be opened because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't properly decoded). Any idea what is going on and how I can correct this issue?
Any responses are appreciated...

Hi, Char.
Since your question doesn't relate to our CreatePDF service, I'm moving your question to the Adobe Reader forum.

Why does my Nook not show up in Adobe Digital Edition when opened?

The nook is connected to the PC.

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum. Which Nook are you trying to sync your book too? Did it work previously? If so what has changed on your computer since then?

Can't install my adobe digital edition!

At first, i installed my digital edition. i could only access my ebook(book that i purchased ) when i went online. Something was wrong. so i decided to uninstall it and then reinstall it again. During the setup, i kept facing this problem.
'You may not have the necessary permission to use all the features of the program you are about to run.You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user.'
Then i have to give the username and password. i used my account id and password but was denied access all the time. i kept getting this note: 'This installer requires administration access, pls try again.'
What should i do? i'm really frustrated. Could you provide me with the username and password so that i can access my account? i don't think i can call up the support center as overseas call is expensive. is there any other way i can use my account?

The computer is telling you that you don't have the ADMIN rights that are
needed to install the software. I'm going to guess that you're using
Windows 7 software. In that case, your user rights may be set by Win7 as a
'user', not as 'administrator'. You need to go back and log into the
computer as the ADMIN.
About that access to your ebook only when you were online. That can occur
when ADE has not been installed properly (see above).
The sequence of installation makes all the difference. The first step is to
go to the Adobe website and establish an Adobe account with an Adobe ID and
password that you choose. When you've done that, you can install ADE on
your computer ( assuming we get around this administrative access issue ).
When that is complete, you can go to the website where you bought your ebook
and download it to ADE on your computer. Then you can read it from the ADE
library.
There are some technical considerations. If you have installed ADE on your
computer without having established an Adobe ID (which you can do - but
shouldn't), then you might not be able to reinstall it and still be able to
access the ebook you bought. This is because the publisher and distributor
could have set the ebook's digital rights to permit ONE download only.
Also, when you download the ebook - or when you did - you have choices as to
whether to OPEN or SAVE it. If you elect 'OPEN', then ADE will open the
ebook in Reading mode. It will not save the ebook in the library, so when
you open ADE in Library mode, the ebook won't be visible - although it's
still on your computer. If you can find the title in the folder inside
Digital Editions, then you can add the ebook to the library, using the Add
Book to Library function within ADE.
Much of what I'm saying here is pretty general, and there are certain tasks
that you perform to accomplish these steps. I don't know your level of
expertise with the computer, so I don't want to burden you with all of the
tasks at this time. Repost with more information, and we can go to that
level if we need to.
Hope this helps!

If I'm downloading songs from iTunes with my iPhone, than I can't delete them on the iPhone. How can I get rid of them on the iPhone after I synchronised them with my library?

Since I have the iPhone4S I can't delete songs from the iPhone anymore, which I downloaded with the iPhone. I sync the iPhone with my library. That works perfect. But than I want to delete the songs on the phone. That doesn't work. Can somebody tell me how I can delete those songs?

You have to uncheck what songs you don't want in iTunes. I don't think you could delete songs off the phone direct, unless you had I tunes match.
