Library book download gliche

Downloaded Terry Pratchett from lending libray ok. However, he always includes humorous postscripts at the bottom of some pages and these were listed right at the back of he book instead. Why was the 'running order' changed in the e-book version. Download was to Kobo Touch via ADE.

Is it just one book that it is failing on, or does it fail with all books freshly downloaded from the library?
If just one book, maybe the Kobo has an issue with that book.
I found when I had a Bookeen Opus that there was a very small number of books it just would't read,
though the detailed symptoms were different.
If all new books, is there any possibility that you have somehow got the Kobo and ADE registered with different Adobe IDs?
Try copying a DRM book that works on the Kobo from the Kobo to the computer, and seeing if you can read it on ADE.
If so, you might need to deauthorize the Kobo (ctrl-shift-E while plugged in) and reauthorize it with the ID you currently use on ADE.
But be aware that this may mean you can no longer read obn the Kobo those older books that currently work there.

Library books downloading to wrong file, can't get them onto computer

After happily using ADE to load library books onto my computer for 2 years, I went and screwed it up. I didn't have a shorcut to ADE on my desktop - the only way I was able to access it was to open Adobe Reader and then through the Adobe Reader "Help" menu, I could get to ADE. Well, I got tired of doing that, so I played around with things and found a way to pull out ADE and make a separate icon on my desktop & start menu. I thought everything was fine until the next time I tried to take out a library book. Suddenly when I went to download the book, I got an error message & I noticed that the file name where the book was trying to load to had changed from "adobe digital editions" to something odd, like "ACS" plus some more stuff. And it didn't give me the option to change it to anything else though a drow down menu or by browsing my files or anything. I'm still able to get into ADE & use it for the books I already have downloaded, just can't download anything new.
Is there any way for me to manually change it back to the correct file name? Is it possible for me to fix this without uninstalling & reinstalling ADE? If I must uninstall, is it possible for anyone to give me very detailed, step-by-step instructions, as I'm okay with the basics on computers, but not so good with stuff like this. I'm on Windows XP. Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

Try just reinstalling it, without uninstalling, and see if that helps. It shouldn't upset your old books and settings.
As you are on XP, I suggest the slightly older v1.7.2. (Actually, the new version has so many bugs I suggest the older one for everyone.)
Download it from http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions/_jcr_content/main -pars/procedure_2/proc_par/step_0/step_par/download/file.res/digitaleditions.exe
(see Adobe page http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html for more details).
Click the downloaded file in your browser (or double click as appropriate for the particular browser) to start the install.
It will ask a few questions, just take all the easy answers.
With luck, that will make the proper file association for .acsm files.
If it doesn't, there is a chance that at least going through the rigmarole you tried above will now work.
Good luck ....

Why won't a library book download to my Adobe?

I just got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (ugh!) and now I can't seem to download library books into the Adobe program. What do I need to do?

You need to transfer the ebooks to your new laptop and you can add the ebooks to library as:
File -> Add to Library ->Select the transferred ebook.
Hope this works !!

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

Library book download

Trying to download a library book to my Kobo - it appears as "locked" and tells me to verify my adobe ID which I already have done!

Is it just one book that it is failing on, or does it fail with all books freshly downloaded from the library?
If just one book, maybe the Kobo has an issue with that book.
I found when I had a Bookeen Opus that there was a very small number of books it just would't read,
though the detailed symptoms were different.

Try copying a DRM book that works on the Kobo from the Kobo to the computer, and seeing if you can read it on ADE.
If so, you might need to deauthorize the Kobo (ctrl-shift-E while plugged in) and reauthorize it with the ID you currently use on ADE.
But be aware that this may mean you can no longer read obn the Kobo those older books that currently work there.

Epub library book download difficulties

I have a new iMac and installed Adobe Digital Editions so I could continue to download ebooks for my iRiver e-reader. I can download free ebooks books quickly and easily but have problems doing the same from our local library. This has only been a problem since we bought the new computer. While the book looks like it is installing on my iRiver, the process goes on and on and on until I eventually have to unplug the device. (I have previously left it for up to 6 minutes but it never completes the process).
By comparison, if I download a free epub book, it is installed in a matter of seconds. What is the difference and why is it now a problem?

Is it just one book that it is failing on, or does it fail with all books freshly downloaded from the library?
If just one book, maybe the Kobo has an issue with that book.

How To Change the Authorized Adobe ID
http://www.adobe.com/go/digital-editions-createID
What do you do if your copy of Adobe Digital Editions is authorized with the wrong Adobe ID? This can happen if you’ve started using a different Adobe ID or you somehow messed up the authorization in the past.
If you’re trying to open an ebook when Adobe Digital Editions is authorized with the wrong Adobe ID, you’ll get an error message like: “License fulfilled by a different user” or something similar referencing licensing or authorization.
Important note: If you have some ebooks that do require your current authorization, those will become unreadable if you authorize with a different Adobe ID.
deauthorize
The first thing to do is deauthorize Adobe Digital Editions. This will remove your current authorization.
1. Open Adobe Digital Editions
2. On your keyboard, simultaneously press the Ctrl, Shift, and D buttons (if on Windows) or the Cmd, Shift, and D buttons (if on a Mac)
3. Click the “Deauthorize” button
After this you should close Adobe Digital Editions, and then open it again.
re-authorize
If you’ve followed the steps above, your copy of Adobe Digital Editions is no longer authorized.
Open Adobe Digital Editions
Adobe Digital Editions will behave as if you’ve just installed it, and will prompt you to enter your login information for your Adobe ID. Use the Adobe ID account information that you want to use to authorize Adobe Digital Editions.

I'm using ADE with a Mac and have successfully downloaded library books for a few years; suddenly today the books are downloading to the Finder but do not show up in ADE so that they can be put on my Nook.

Is anyone suddenly having trouble using Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac to download library books? I have been using this to load books on to my Nook and suddenly, out of nowhere, everything is downloading to the Finder app. ADE pops up like it always has when I download from the library website, but the book does not show up there.
Has something changed?

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Error message downloading library books

I cannot download or return library books - getting an error message - E_adept_request_expired - tried downloading Adobe digital editions 2.0 and got the same message - Help

That is often down to incorrect time, timezone or daylight savings settings on the computer running ADE.
If that doesn't help: ADE2.0 will not handle library books when used in conjuction with some eReaders (including but not only Sony PRS-350).
Try replacing with the less buggy older version.
~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

My answer to Error Message 2038 when trying to download library books to ADE/NOOK

I found my solution! I previously posted a "Help" on the forum because I could not get my public library books to download to ADE. I kept getting an error message #2038 stating to check my network connectivity. Well, not being a techie, I didn't even know what that meant....and the search began. After MANY excrutiating hours, I found the simple answer for my particular trouble.
First, please indulge me why I whine.... I checked my firewall by funbling my way through my computer and trying to download to ADE without it being turned on, not my problem. My virus protection, not the problem. I copy and pasted folders as suggested in some forums and totally messed them all up. I had to delete them from my PC and have Nook help me reset my nook to factory settings and reauthorize my Nook. What a MESS! I uninstalled and reinstalled ADE checking out my ID, etc. I spoke with the public library and tried their solutions....nada. I TRIED to speak with ADE but they informed me Digital Editions is a free software so I couldn't even PAY a techie to speak to me and had to use these forums. Nook advised me that the problem was not Nook related and they were NOOK TECHIES not computer techies so maybe I should check with ADE. ON AND ON around the merry go round.
Finally, here was my problem and answer. I did not know what a "proxy" was. I kept being told to check my "proxie server". I don't know if this will work for anyone else but here was my simple answer. I have a satellite internet service provider. I called them, and although they told me this was not within their scope of service, they helped me. I went onto Internet Exployer, I clicked on Tools. I clicked on Internet Options, I clicked on the connections tab, I click on the LAN settings and there was a number in my "proxy server" box. I recognized this number as being the same number listed for my satellite provider (Hughes Net). I called them and told them my problem and asked if that number SHOULD be in my proxy box. They had me delte the number and click on "automatically detect settings" instead. They then had me make sure my internet could still surf the internet correctly by having me go into "graphi-heavy" sites like Facebook.com and CNN.com. My internet worked great as ever. I then went to the public library web site and checked out a book. ADE came up and instantly downloaded the book. I was able to drag and drop the book to my Nook icon and it appeared in my Nook. I can now check out free public library books, which is the whole reason WHY I purchased the Nook and not the Kindle!!!!
I was told this proxy setting was not "wrong" just speaking a language that ADE could not translate....so to speak.
Yeah!!!!!! I hope if anyone else has this problem, you will find this posting to be your easy answer......because it has not been easy to find this information out. There is noone out there to help you but these forums!!!! The one fall-back to the NOOK is that they are NOT prepared to help you resolve any compatibility problems. THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE NOOK, they aren't computer Techies. NOOK is great, but if they want to be #1 they are going to have to beef up their Support Network with qualified computer/Nook techies.

Hooray!!!

How do I download library books to my nook w/o extra files

When i download a library book to my nook from the ADE it also downloads "unrecognized file" -both annot and png for every book.How do I stop this from happening and eliminate those already on my nook.

I don't think it is possible.
I don't think it downloads them, rather it creates them automatically as part of the download process.
I suspect the .png is the book cover page; the .annot holds any annotations you make (and maybe your current reading position in that book).
Even more irritating is that if you download books to a device via some other route (such as free books using Calibre),
the next time you connect the device to ADE, ADE spends lots of time trawling through these books which have nothing to do with it,
and creating such spurious files.

Can't download library books to my ADE, v. 3.0 from Mac OS X, with Yosemite download

i have a Mac OS X 10 w. Yosemite download. am having trouble downloading library books to ADE, v. 3.0, which i would then like to transfer to my Simple touch Nook. I noticed that the authorization is for a DRM but the books are ACSM. should i change the computer authorization and if so, how do i do this?

Thank you. I did find a book that i had checked out from the library in the documents file. however, the book wants to open in iBooks. i want the book to go to my Simple Touch Nook and i thought that i could only do that through ADE, v. 3, which i have downloaded (several times). however i can’t get the library books to download or go to ADE anymore. I reauthorized the computer, using an Overdrive authorization, but i still can’t get books to download to ADE. i believe that before all this trouble, i had an ADE authorization. I was wondering if i should de-authorize the computer (but don’t know how to do that) and re-insert an ADE authorization. (but of course i don’t really know how to do that either). i have spent so much time one this matter that i can’t remember what i’ve done. Nook and Apple say that this is an ADE problem, and i have reviewed the discussions in the Forums, but so far i haven’t found anything exactly on point — or perhaps i just don’t recognize an answer that is staring me in the face.

ADE 2.0 stopped working (won't download library books to ADE on Windows computer for Kobo

I've used ADE to download e-books from my public library onto my Kobo for over a year now but for a week now I haven't been able to. When I open the library book, select 'download' and it opens ADE but it is a totally blank page (there should be several books there that I have purchased). It sits on this blank screen for a while and eventually an error message comes up "ADE 2.0 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is available".
I pinged my local library who suggested that I uninstall ADE and reinstall it. I did that and nothing changed. I waited 24 hrs and tried again. Still no change. I've also removed my computer authorization (ADE-Help-Contr Shift d) and reauthorized. Still can't load a book.
Any suggestions???

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).
Some of them just appear like that for no obvious reason on previously working systems.
Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
