NEW ADOBE ACCOUNT REMOVING DRM FROM ALL BOOKS

I have had ADE and Sony Reader for PC for some years without any major problems. Recently I have been having some issues downloading a particular book - the acsm would not download the file from Google Play Books. In trying to fix this I seem to have created a far worse problem.
One of the fixes suggested was to ensure my computer was properly authorised - but I was unsure of my password on my Adobe account linked to an old and defunct email.  Not knowing what else to do I created a new account with my current email address, big mistake.
Adobe have now rather unhelpfully removed the DRM from all my legitmately pruchased books as they were purchased on my old account. I cannot open any book now either on my laptop or my ereader and I have no way of accessing the old Adobe account.
My computer is running Windows Vista and my ereader is Sony PRS T1, I suspect that this can only be resolved by Adobe linking or merging my accounts but if anyone can help  I would be very grateful.

  • Remove DRM from Independent Labels

    One way that Apple can show that it takes seriously the topics brought up in Steve Jobs's article, "Thoughts on Music", is to remove DRM from all material where the content producer did not specifically ask for it.
    There are many independent labels who wish their music to be as open as possible to a broader community. DRM gets between them and their customers.
    Please consider removing DRM from all content where the content producer did not request or require it.
    Thank you,
    Mike Shea

    It wont happen. Apple has DRM accross the board is to offer a consistant product. Lets face the facts that if 90% of all music is required DRM (shot in the dark) people who dont get the DRM thng (most customers) will be totaly lost if only a few songs have DRM and others dont. Apple stripping DRM from music that doesnt require them means very little to the Recording companies anyway.

  • Delete E-Mail Accounts Without Removing Them from All Computers

    I lost a hard drive on my MacBook Pro and had to re-insall Yosemite and all of my apps and data. I started setting up my e-mail using Apple Mail on my laptop, adding accounts to it. As I added accounts, apparently iCloud decided to add them to my Apple Mail on my work computer, an iMac running Yosemite. I do share my iCloud account between the two machines, but in the past, I didn't share e-mail accounts, except for my .me account and my work e-mail account. Now, I have all of my personal e-mail accounts on my iMac, which I do not want.
    When I go to delete an account in Mail, it shoots me over to the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences. If I start to delete the account, I get the following message:
    "Do you want to remove the Mail account “[email protected]” from all your computers using iCloud Keychain or turn it off on only this Mac?
    Removing from all computers using iCloud Keychain will remove it from this Mac and “Name of My MacBook Pro”."
    I want to remove the account from my work computer, but I do NOT want it deleted from my MacBook Pro.
    How do I get around this? I'm assuming something is set up in iCloud to cause this and I want it stopped.

     Okay then, you need to make sure that your phone isn't able to delete your emails from the server by accessing your email account settings and looking for the correct setting. As I don't have a CenturyLink email account I'm unable to point you to the correct setting I'm afraid. You might be able to change your email account to an IMAP account which might be a better option for you.
     In the meantime, you can still read your emails on the phone and delete them later using your PC which is how I manage one of my email accounts (POP3). My other IMAP accounts always keep a copy of my mail on the server.

  • Removing DRM from existing purchases

    Hi all,
    I love iTunes, but could never stand the DRM that came bundled with purchases. Now DRM's been removed from music I'm loving it again. I've made half a dozen purchases already today and I'm delighted with how easily my existing MP3 software was able to convert the M4A files to MP3.
    One question though, is there a way within iTunes to either re-download past purchases, or to remove DRM from purchases made before Apple stopped including DRM with music?
    Thanks.
    Lex.

    Access the iTunes plus upgrade screen from either the right hand top in the store in the upper box or by clicking on the iTunes plus advert in the middle of the store screen near the free download screen.
    If you have none of these links it may mean that none of your past purchases is currently available. The entire store will not be DRM free until near April, currently only close to 8 Million tracks are available, though I think new are still be added daily.

  • Does deleting iCloud account remove photos from phone and iPad?

    I know this has been answered, but I am still confused.
    Will deleting my iCloud account remove photos from my phone?
    I've read just "iCloud"- but where is this?
    Long story short, I got married the month before I got my iPad, being a newlywed I wasn't thinking I would find my husband impregnating another woman and moving in with her behind my back so I figured creating an iCloud name with his last name would be good to go. Obviously not. Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them. The games are whatever, I plan on starting those over because I'm sure that I can't keep my progress. Do I have to re-download them?
    Also is there a way to uninstall an update? The 7.1 removing of full contact pictures when recieving calls was a bummer

    > Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them.
    Transfer them to your computer to keep them safe. If you lose or break your iPad you'll lose them without a backup.

  • How can I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

    How do I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

    Sounds like you have an IMAP/Exchange mail account (vice a POP3 account). By design, an IMPA/Exchange account synchronized your mail boxes among different devices. That behavior can't be changed.

  • I can't view old iphoto libraries. It wants me to use a new version of iphoto but from all the commits here, no one likes it. Help! how do i get to my old libraries???

    I can't view old iphoto libraries. It wants me to use a new version of iphoto but from all the commits here, no one likes it. Help! how do i get to my old libraries???

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • How to remove DRM from files

    I thought iTunes Match was supposed to remove DRM from files

    It doesn't actually  "remove" anything.  But it does allow you to delete the DRM versions and download non-DRM versions, if available.
    Go to this document, and read the section on "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?":

  • I bought a license for Lr a few years back and installed it on a mac laptop.  I want to move that license to my new iMac and remove it from my old laptop. How?  Thanks!!!

    I bought a license for Lr a few years back and installed it on a mac laptop.  I want to move that license to my new iMac and remove it from my old laptop. How? 
    I downloaded Lr on the new iMac but there does not seem to be a way of "registering" the software to give it functionality. 
    Thanks!!!

    Your Lightroom License key is,
    1. Cross platform Mac and or Win.
    2. It is a single user / owner.
    3. You can have two installations active with one in use at any point in time.
    4. There is no deactivate process like other Photoshop products.
    5. You can uninstall / install as many times as you need as long as you keep the spirit of the license.
    6. The license key is specific to the Lightroom version, i.e License key for LR 4 will not work for LR 5.
    7. You can upgrade i.e. purchase from any version of Lightroom 1,2,3,4 to the latest LR 5.

  • How can I put ebboks onto 2 different ereaders from he one computer....we have 2 adobe accounts, but I cant get books to go onto 2nd reader???

    Hi I have 2 ereaders, a sony  and a kobo... how can I put books onto both readers . I opened a seperate adobe account for the 2nd reader, but cant get books to work on it... HELP !!!!

    Ok first off, Graffiti LOVE your icon.  And you do make complete sense and as for try, I kinda figured that was the case.  One folder with all the files ARE in word, yet these are in PDF in another folder.  Why they were not all done in Word at the time I have NO clue.  I'm going to assume it was the IT guy's idea.
    I'm sitting here stressing b/c I can't find a way to do this and now I find out it's not a good idea to have ANYTHING in PDF as well as NOT being able to transfer to word with in reason and to make it look as it did.
    So what it boils down to is I will ultimately have to do it individual and convert on my own.  Pretty much make a new format in Word and transfer all the information one at a time, GREAT.  My 2nd week here at work and this is what I have to look forward to FOREVER lol
    I will, however, make me a format I can handle and easy to do, idiot proof as it were.
    I appreciate all of your information.  In the back of my mind, I knew the answer, but wanted to clarify before going to my supervisor (who has NO clue about computers or the fact some things can't be done.  more of why CAN'T I do it, you know) and see what I can do from there.
    The man purpose is to have continous access to that file instead of multiples b/c of the IT limiting PDF to 2 pages.  YAY for me
    Let's hope they hire an IT guy next week...lmao

  • How do I set up a new user account that can use all my software?

    I set up a new user account on my 3 year old BTO iMac running OS 10.8.5. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it, the computer thought none of my software was registered, activated, licensed, etc. With 26 GB of applications on this machine, it will be a colossal chore to re-do everything. Is there any way around this?
    Thanks for your time,
    Larry

    Is your regular user an Admin?
    Yes. So is the new account I tried to set up.
    Are these apps installed in the main /Applications folder?
    Yes.
    Are they App Store apps or installs from disc/download?
    Both, but App Store purchases are a clear minority, and aren't much of a problem, due to the ease of re-downloading and activating. The downloaded programs are the ones that present the problems. I have not been good about archiving serial numbers and the like, mostly because I've never had a problem like this before.
    What specific apps are you having trouble with? For instance, I know that MS Office and Adobe CS5 for perfectly well for all users on my MBP.
    This is a very long list. Let me give you some of it, and if you really need all of them, I'll add to the list later.
    1Password 4
    ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 plus On ONE add-on filters
    Burn
    calibre
    DiskTracker
    Dragon Dictate
    Flv Crunch 1.5.0
    GraphicConverter
    Harmony Assistant
    iBank
    iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe
    MacX Video Converter Pro
    QMidi
    Screenium
    Unison
    WireTap Studio
    Also, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
    Not much, since I have no idea where the problem is. I looked for some central repository of software serial numbers or activations, but didn't find one.

    Wow, at age 76 I'm suppose to remember all I saw before and give you more details?
    I wanted to be able to join the support blog, to be able to ask a question. It all went from there. Somewhere along the line I saw sign up for a new free (support?) account. I did. created a cute name (Marycontrary), put in a password, not likely one to be used by someone else, my em address. Sent. Got a confirmation em from you. I clidked to confirm. I got back from you: It said something wrong (or something like that) I thought maybe I didn't type in the last part of my em address and sent a reply to you to that effect. See above for rest. Hope you can help. I can't stand it when companies want us to change our passwords. I like us to be able to keep our original password, I use different ones for different sites. The best sites give us a chance to retrieve our orignial password by setting up a chance to choosing a question of our choice and registering the answer, then when a problem they as the question and we give the answer and everything goes well. These change you password bits are very very hard on us older people, and there are more and more of us out here on the net now days. Thank you for any help you can give me.'''bold text'''

    Hi Guys

    My apps are downloading on to his computer & his on mine.
    I have decided to create my own itunes account but from what i here i will have to buy all my apps again, which seems silly.
    Is there anything that i can do about this?
    Can i even change the email on the current account & the payment deatils so i can claim it? seeing as i have the most apps this would seem the option but then is it even possible?
    thanks
    Harry

    I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future.  I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago.  I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.
