License problems on already purchased ebooks

I recently purchased two ebooks and downloaded them to Digital Editions on my home computer and used the anonymous activation option.  Not realizing the limitations of anonymous authorization, I then decided I wanted to read these ebooks on my computer at work, so I installed Digital Editions, but I chose the Adobe ID authorization option instead.
I went back to my home computer and authorized it using my newly created Adobe ID, hoping that it would tie my ebooks to my new Adobe ID instead, which it didn't because I had already activated that ID on my work computer (did not know this at the time).  So now I was left with two ebooks that I could not read anymore.
I used Ctrl-Shift-D to de-authorize my home computer and went back to the anonymous authorization so I could read the ebooks again, but no luck.
So to make a long story short, I have two ebooks that I cannot read anymore on the same computer that they were originally tied to.
Am I completely out of luck or can this be fixed?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Did you get this fixed? I have the same problem but with over 100 ebooks. The vendor states the download is already registered to another user (namely the 'unauthorised' one). I currently have a web case open but Adobe posting a fix would be useful since I can see this problem has been going on for years...

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Problem with my iTunes store, cannot search, stays in one application that I already purchased. Please help!

    Problem with my iTunes store, cannot search, stays in one application that I already purchased. Please help!

    Go to Settings, Store, Apple ID, Sign out and then sign back in again and have another go.
    Also, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Problems with credit card or removed credit number and itunes doesn't let you update/download already purchased items - what is that about?!

    I took my credit card number off b/c I was having problems with it and I was waiting for a new card , and itunes would not let me update and already purchased apps and TV seasons! What is that all about?!

    I just called the 1-800-My-Apple and the said there is really nothing they can do about it. They said I had an outstanding payment of $8.54 (or something like that), I said I know b/c of the problem I am having with my bank, but NO previous completed purchases should have anything to do with this outstanding payment . It should not keep me from being able to update or download previously completely paid apps, TV Shows, or movies - they are mine, and I paid for them. I submitted a complaint.. that just isn't right!

  • Unable to fully view newly purchased ebook?

    Well, i Just purchased an ebook for college and am very stressed to find out that it doesnt open correctly. I already contacted the retailer about the problems I have been having with opening this ebook, but in the end, they couldnt help me, stating it is a problem with adobe's Digital editions.
    I basically downloaded the e-book, which was an .etd file extension (on windows vista), double clicked that file, and I could only view the title page and the author page. After that, its just a bunch of blank pages with select undreadable diagrams on some pages.
    Upon opening digital editions, i am welcomed with this error message:
    Adobe DRM Error
    System: 5
    State: 4
    Class: 0
    Code: 0
    Message: EBX HTTP error with no thread ??
    ---end---
    The retailed suggested that the problem lies within Adobe's DRM, and I have no idea what to do. They had never experienced this problem before with their ebooks.
    Any ideas? This is really frustrating.
    Thanks.

  • Opening premiere elements every time I try to access the video editor I get shunted to a trial program when I already purchased PE12 how to I get rid of the trial request

    I purchased Premiere Elements 12 in January 2014 - now when trying to open the video editor I get shunted to a trial request - how do I avoid this trial request coming up every time and just go to the video editor which I already purchased?@

    Mooivoel
    Are you working with an Internet connect on?
    Have you used the program between January 2014 and now July 2014?
    When you get these messages are you responding by clicking on the License this Product option or just ignoring it?
    If the problem persists then I would contact Adobe via Adobe Chat
    Contact Customer Care
    If any further questions on this or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    We will be looking forward to learning of your progress.
    Thank you.

  • HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
    Thank you.

    Prodesigntools.com , go ahead and download the software from there and use your serial number to serialize it.

  • Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item

    I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
    So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps.  I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right.  This opens the "My App Updates" view.  I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
    You have already purchased this item
    You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
    This is confusing because:
    I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
    I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
    Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
    I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again.  But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Cheers
    Boz

    You read a very old article that applied only to apps.

  • You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.

    I don't have App sync on (have tried it with App sync on and off), my Mobile Applications directory on my Mac is empty.
    When I go to update my apps per the iPhone's App Store program, they download and then I get this message:
    +You've already purchased this item, but it hasn't been downloaded.To get it, open iTunes on your computer, select Check for Purchases, then sync your device to your computer.+
    I did this, yet the problem remains. Have restored to factory settings and after installing my apps again, the next time one updates I get this error and despite my following the directions above, the error persists. Anyone know of a fix for this little circle?

    Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
    It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
    Agh!
