I cannot authorize my Kobo.

My computer is authorized in my Adobe digital editions, but when I go to open a file on my Kobo, I get a message that the content I am trying to view is locked and than a message to use my adobe id to autorize my ereader with the Adobe Digital Editions. I am totally lost on this

I had exactly the same problem - took some advice from another post and this is what I did
Shut down ADE
Reset the defaults on my Kobo.(under advanced you can reset to factory settings)
Started my Kobo up fresh and reset date/time etc.
Launched my Kobo app and resynced. - at the same time Started up ADE
- for the first time it actually asked me if I wanted to authorize my device (this had never happened on previous attempts)
Said Ok
everything works fine now.
My thoughts -
At some point the ADE had left some lingering presence on the Kobo enought to make it think that it was not detecting a new device.
Wiping out the folders and digital edition files did not seem to be enough to re-trigger the authorization code to ask me  again (not that it ever had!).
Good luck.

    I cannot authorize my new computer in iTunes because I hit the 5 device limit. However, I cannot deauthorize the old one because it's gone. I also cannot use the deauthorize all computers button because I did last year when I was replacing computers. Is there any other way of deauthorizing computers that no longer exist?

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
    (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
    Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

    So, I bought a new Macbook Pro which i cannot authorize my itunes for. I don't even have the button indicated in the support section to authorize or deauthorize. I only have one device authorized to my account. I cant remember my security questions and cannot figure out how to change them; I think this might be the reason why i can't authorize my new device. The only way to access my itunes from my Mac is to have my iphone plugged in. Someone please help! I am a complete tard and would like to avoid a trip to the actual Apple store.

    Call Apple Care for your country and request that they assist you in resetting the security questions.
    To authorize/deauthorize a computer, go to the Store dropdown menu in the iTunes app.

  • Security error: Cannot authorize operation for invalid non-ASCII URL

    I have an error that popped up with Flash Player 10.1.85.3 or 10.1.82.76.
    In our application, we load users' avatars with their original filename. Some filenames have non-ASCII characters (i.e. Hebrew, accents, or umlauts) and I can no longer load those files from a different subdomain.
    For example, I'm trying to load this image (with the Loader class and a LoaderContext):
    http://photos.myawesomedomain.com/images/awesöme.jpg  (o with umlaut)
    It comes to me encoded in UTF-8:
    http://photos.myawesomedomain.com/images/awes%C3%B6me.jpg  (umlaut converted to %C3%B6)
    When I try to load the file from http://myawesomedomain.com/myawesome.swf, I get this error:
    *** Security Sandbox Violation ***
    Connection to http://photos.myawesomedomain.com/images/awesöme.jpg halted - not permitted from http://myawesomedomain.com/myawesome.swf
    Error: Cannot authorize operation for invalid non-ASCII URL http://photos.myawesomedomain.com/images/awesöme.jpg
    If I try this with a player earlier than 10.1.82.76, it works. It also works if I move the file to the same domain as the SWF (http://myawesomedomain.com/images/awesöme.jpg) -- but that's not an option for me. Files without unusual characters work regardless of the player version.
    The error occurs when I try to access the bitmap data of the loaded image. I've tried encoding the URL differently, but Flash always reports it as "http://photos.myawesomedomain.com/images/awesöme.jpg" - with the umlaut converted to strange characters. The cross domain file allow-access-from "*.myawesomedomain.com"
    Has anyone run into this? Is there a way I can fix it without renaming the users' photos (we have tens of thousands of these)?
    I feel like I must be missing something obvious; hardly anything comes up in Google for this, but I don't think it would be an uncommon problem.  I believe https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5580 is related.
    Thanks!

    The problem is based on the player version, not the browser.
    The problem showed up in Chrome first because it auto-updates the player; when Firefox users installed the updated player, they started having the problem, too.

  • You Cannot Authorize More than 5 Computers...

    Hello,
    I have a new Dell laptop running Vista. I waited until a new version of iTunes came out and downloaded 7.1 this morning. I backed up all my songs which has been successful and it looks like the album cover art is there too.
    I continue to get this message which says:
    You cannot authorize more than 5 computers...
    You have already authorized 5 computers with this account. to authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers.
    I read the KB article and quite frankly am totally confused. My old laptop has been reformatted and given to a friend. iTunes was not installed on it.
    How do I get rid of this annoying message? Should I attempt to synch up my Nano or wait first until I get help with this message. Sorry the KB about deauthorizing and authorizing is very confusing to me.
    All I'm doing is trying to get my iTunes installed on a new laptop restored with all my old songs.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    See this article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
    Specifically this part:
    " If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months."
    This is what you may need to do.

  • "You cannot authorize more than five computers"

    I am unable to play any of my music that I have bought from iTunes music store because when I try to play my music on my new computer it says "You cannot authorize more than five computers". In fact, I only have four computers using my iTunes music account. Any suggestions?

    hmmmm. perhaps check to see if you've ended up with multiple authorisations on one of those computers:

    Hi Tracydoola,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Based on the fact that you have tried a reinstallation of iTunes, it sounds like there may be a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with its servers.  This article has steps you can try to resolve or isolate the issue:

  • When I try to authorize my computer I receive a message saying you cannot authorize 5 computers at once. I only have one computer

    I have made several purchases from the Apple Store, But when I tried to access them I receive a message that says 'Your computer is not authorized to play this track/album'. So I try to authorize and another message says 'You cannot authorize 5 computers at once.' What does this mean? I only have this one computer.

    At some point other computers were autorized on your account.
    Open iTunes and go to the iTunes store > Accounrs (in Quick Links section on the right) > sign in > From the you can use the Deauthorize All option. Apple limits use of this to once a year. After all are deauthorized you will be able to authorize your computer.
