Keep getting 'NOT READY' error message when trying to re-authorize my computer after a hard drive re

need help, very frustrated
can not get it to work
also having trouble with Reader, I get a message that the book can not be downloaded because it is already in my library but it does not appear and so I am unable to read it

also having trouble with Reader  Do you mean with ADE (Adobe Digital Editions), or with an ereader device.
Might be worth double-checking your authorization.
If that doesn't help, post back with more detail.
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

  • I keep getting input/output error put when trying to make a complet copy of my hard drive, which also has vista using fusion.i have did the permissions and repaired, disk verify.

    error input/output

    Yes. Formatted correctly. It' s new ext HD and I made a the first back up on it a few days ago using time machine while my computer was in safe mode. When I was able to restart my computer normally I quickly set up a time machine backup to my larger 5 TB ext drive. Also new and formatted for my mac. I was in a rush to get it going before I left for work so maybe I did something wrong. IDK. I can't remember but it did ask me about switching drives vs setting up. Although I don't see why the computer wouldn't see the drive.
    I did try another firewire cable and no change. Checked connections again.  The HD turns on and the blue light comes on  (it's a La Cie d2 quadra deskdrive)
    Is the SMC reset where you detach devices and restart?  My printer, keyboard and mouse are all wireless and right now I don't have anything else connected.
    I'll try another PRAM reset too.
    *  Question:
    When I connect the 3 TB drive it starts up but I don't see it on my desktop, finder sidebar or in disk utility. If a hard drive starts up but doesn't show up on your computer how do you safely shut it down before disconnecting?  I've been clicking on the desktop and then pressing the eject button on my keyboard just in case.

    You paid for iCloud storage. It has no bearing on the capacity of the drive inside your iPad.

  • I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

    I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd.  All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player.  If I just install FP 11 it installs ok.  Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam.  The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message.  If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error.  I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
    I found a partial way around this.  I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from.  I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system.  Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11.  I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
    Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • Cannot open \\psf\home\some_file error message when trying to open some file located on Mac hard drive

    I have trio of 27 inch iMacs in my office and we all use Parallels 8 to develop content in Framemaker.  We have two 3 tb LaCie D2 Network 2 NAS' drives that we need to move our content to  one and do backups to the other.  The backups from the iMacs are working just fine (everything is MacOS, of course it works).  The error in the title is what I am getting after trying to access the NAS from windows  running in Parallels 8.
    Why do I want  to do this?  Our main network server is 500 miles away and so is the DNS server, so when that connectivity is lost  I can't access my work locally (even though I can see file server (a Mac pro running Ubuntu or some such OS (honest, I didn't do it!!)).
    Why?? I just want to have a a little control over my data and some resonable expectation that someone is planning for emergencies by having a robust strategy to file protection (I don't  right now, and I can't risk my hard earned work).
    All my workstations connect to a gigabit switch  as do the LaCies.
    Both LaCies are initialized as HFS+.
    I  know I'm missing something,  I whish I knew what it is ( then the solution is easy!!)
    Ideas?

    I think it's the content of the include that is causing your
    troubles. Somehow you created a menu using Fireworks(?) or
    Dreamweaver(?) and Contribute indicates javascripterrors, not php
    errors...
    Maybe its better, in this case, constructing a menu that
    contains only an unordered list (check out project7 menus, or stu
    nichols css site for more examples). Updating the menu will be
    simpeler and also with less chance of errors by users. You can open
    such a file without any troubles in Contribute.

  • I keep getting crashes and error messages when trying to use LiveCycle. So far, the most I have been able to is create and name 3 text boxes.

    Despite having uninstalled, reinstalled, change compatibility, run as admin and a host of other "fixes", LC keeps crashing, closing out and otherwise failing to operate. At this point the most I have been able to accomplish has been inserting 3 text boxes and then naming them. As soon as I change the caption name on the 3rd box (or sooner) the program stops working and I get the wonderful message from windows telling me, the program has stopped. I needed the extra input from Windows because, you know, when the program crashes I was just thinking it was naptime.  2.5 hours I have spent so far trying to fix this. Someone please help me!!

  • HT4623 keep getting a generic error message when updating

    I keep getting a generic error message when trying to update my iphone3gs.  I have done it while connected to the computer and through wifi.  When I am connected to the computer it stated, check your connectivity as the update timed out (I did a check and everything worked fine) when I tried through wifi, it just said it failed to update.  Um, no help there.

    I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
    1) Open iTunes
    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • TS3694 getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my itouch. All PC software is currect, I have disconnected all USB ports and even turned off all security and still get a 3014 error. I got this after I upgraded to IOS 10.7.0.21

    I am getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my iTouch after upgrading to 10.7.0.21. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.My PC is current with upgrades, I have unplugged all USB connections and I have disabled my firewall security.

    Did you try this:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor

    Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor "live stream" on cameras from computer.  Anyone else have this issue?  Any suggestions on how to fix?  I have reconfigured each camera with the router but still having the error message.  I have a total of three cameras....(1) is wired and (2) are wifi......I am getting this message with all cameras (both wired/wifi).

    Is this an intermittent error that you get now and then, or were you able to successfully setup your cameras, then one day you got the "line disconnected" on all cameras since that point and on?
    If this is an intermittent problem, I can share that I experienced the same thing the first two days of having setup my cameras.  It seemed that my Gateway was communicating with the Verizon servers pretty heavily as I was getting my HMC first setup.  However, starting on day three and on, it has worked very well.
    The only odd thing I'm experiencing now is that I getting several "camera_detected" messages in the activity logs.  All my cameras show up in the My Devices list, and I can view them either as a snapshot or as live streaming, however, the log makes it seem that there is a mystery camera connected somewhere that I don't know about.  I have a call in to Verizon regarding this and hopefully will get an answer in the next couple of days.  It's not hurting anything, just kind of annoying to sort through those entries as you're going through your Activity Log.
