Reading e-pub with ADE on Windows 7

I download books through iTunes for my e-reader, but also like to read on my desktop (Windows 7). I find that some titles open in ADE but others do not (although are recognising the book, and identifying title and number of pages. Why is this? Am I doing something wrong, or are some books protected from being read otherwise than on an e-reader.(I use an iPad mini as my e-reader).

What program are you using on the mini?
If it is an Adobe DRM compatible program such as Bluefire and you can read a book there, you should be able to read it on ADE authorized with the same ID.

Does Adobe Reader XI work with Windows Starter 7?

I've been having trouble downloading Adobe Reader XI. It kept hanging at 96% during the installation. I tried to restart and download again and checked for viruses, but the installation never worked. I also tried the adobe cleaner to clean the product, restart and try the installation again. That didn't work. I also tried the direct download link and that didn't work either. In fact the direct download ended by saying there was a 150210 error ( no idea what that means :/ ).
So now I'm looking at the specs and wondering if the problem this whole time is that it's not compatible with WIndows Starter 7. Some tech specs don't specifically list Starter 7 (it's just assumed with Windows 7). Should this be working on my system or not? And if it is supposed to be working, how can I get the installation to work?
Thanks in advance.

I think the Reader installer should work on any Windows 7 edition. I don't know what the 150210 error means.
Try if you can succeed with the MSI installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi (English version 11.0.0).

I can't read acsm files on my e-reader after transferring them from the pc with ADE. it seems to work, but then when I try to open the files on the e-reader it says "open failure". what's wrong?

The acsm file is not the book, it is a ticket to get the book. I sometimes get library books online, here is what I do.
1. Start ADE on the computer
2. Go to library website and find the book I want to download.
3. Click on the download link
4. In windows 7 a box opens asking whether I want to open( or run) or save the acsm file
5. Click open/run and ADE downloads the book into the "Library"
6. Transfer the book (epub file) to the reader.

I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Flex 14 SD card reader not working with larger cards on Windows 8.1

The card reader in my Flex 14 is behaving very oddly. When I insert a 16GB SDHC card it makes the 'USB inserted' noise and the card shows up under device manager but I can't access it through file explorer. The card reader works fine with smaller SD cards that I have. I tried the card in another, Win7 laptop and it worked fine.
I see a number of other people are having a similar problem and I have followed all of the troubleshooting advice I can find, but nothing is working. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
This is what I have tried:
1. Leaving the card in the camera and attaching the camera via USB cable to the laptop: same result, noise, but can't access the card.
2. Trying to reassign the drive letter through storage controller: it shows the card but if you right click it to assign it a drive letter it says the 'file is missing'.
3. Downloaded the Win8.1 x64 driver from Lenovo website and installed. This stopped the card being recognised at all.
4. Installed the Win8 xc4 driver: this got me back to the noise but no action stage.
5. Updated Windows.
6. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times both with the card inserted and without it and with restarting the computer after unistall and after reinstall.
7. Ran Ubunutu from a live USB: This allowed me to see the card and copy its contents to the laptop's HDD.
So it seems to be some incompatibility between the Lenovo drivers and Win8.1. Potentially it's to do with the USB drivers rather than the card reader drivers as the result when using the USB cable and the camera was the same as putting the card in the card reader. Is there a way to update these?
Any other troubleshooting steps I could take?
Thanks.

What size are the cards?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can you read/write to Mac partition from Windows 7 partition with bootcamp?

Hi there. I am about to take delivery of a new Air and want to install Windows on it. As accessing both simultaneously isn't important to me, I don't mind using boot camp and would like the performance gains (if there are any?) of booting straight into either.
The question is: would I be able to, from Windows, access and edit (have full access to) files stored on the Mac partition?
Furthermore, does anyone know whether I could run itunes on both using the same set of files (i.e. exactly the same itunes whether in OS X or Windows?).
Thanks very much for your help. I have heard contradictory things so wanted to see what the real answer was!
Thanks,
Tom.

iTunes has to be somewhere you can write. There are some tips on iTunes probably in the devoted forums.
But writing to Mac partition (HFS+) requires 3rd party driver. Same for writing to NTFS from Mac OS.
I would not recommend MacDrive8 for allowing Windows to write to Mac HFS, but that is and was the first to do so. Paragon-Software has been creating some file system drivers for Windows, Linux and now Mac to go both ways. Most of their products are in the backup & recovery and partitioning area.
Apple has added read-only feature to allow accessing HFS but the feature (and it is not really a service or driver that you can turn on/off or choose to not install, it is part of the Boot Camp package) has been known to need to be renamed/deleted. Not always but will sometimes trigger BSOD. Maybe reading a file with a file name? doubt it but I rename "AppleHFS" and "AppleMNT" so they don't load or function in Windows 7.

How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

Hi,
It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
i. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
ii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
Hope this works.

Bootcamp trouble and iMac will not read DVD-R with Windows

Hi,
I have a late 2011(or maybe early 2012) imac that came with OS X Lion but it's been upgraded to Mountain Lion.. I'd like to bootcamp it and install Windows 8.
I've been trying this for a long time now and then i discovered my imac was not bootable with a usb drive.. Bootcamp restarts and then there is a black which says 'bootable disk not found. insert and press any button' (something like that)... So... i dicided to try with a burned windows 8 dvd-r but when i burn an image to it in disk utility, it says 'medium write error' and the disk pops out... I already have all the windows drivers downloaded.... This is supposed to be a problem with the operating system... As you guys can see, i am having a lot of problems..
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!

I tried using Finder to open files but as they are greyed out this would not work.
That sounds very strange - like it's a disk format issue.
What is the disk format of the Sony DVD+R you are using? (Do a 'Get Info' when the disc is mounted on your Desktop.)

Acrobat X Reader / Pro Issue with Window border resizing / flickering

I have installed Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat X Reader on a new computer. This is the only program on my entire computer that has problems.
The problem occurs only with the menu bar (F9) displayed and when a PDF document is open.
When resizing the window of either Reader or Pro with a PDF open, there is a "flicker" where the program border rapidly flashes between showing the program border and hiding it. Turning off the menu bar makes the issue go away. Even though I turn off the menu bar, each time I open Acrobat Reader or Pro the menu bar is displayed again. I've completely uninstalled the software, used the Adobe Cleaner software, and tried installing a newer version (Reader XI). I still have the same problem. See a screenshot below.
Can you please provide some ideas of what could be wrong?

It turns out the issue was related to a bug in Kaspersky Antivirus 2015. The solution was to uninstall the current version and install a slightly older version 15.0.1.415 The flickering issue was solved.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Downloading e-pub with digital watermarking protection

Hi all; I always bought e-books for my Nook and successfully downoaded them. The format was e-pub with DRM protection. Downoadings are addressed to 'bought books' directory in Adobe Digital Editions and then they're readable on 'my documents' in my Nook. The last one I bought, was an e-book e-pub with digital watermarking protection. I don't know if different protection is the cause, but this time the downloading is automatically addressed to 'reading now' in ADE. This time the e-book is not in the list of 'bought books' (in ADE). When I disconnect Nook, the book is in 'my documents' list (of Nook), but when I try to open it, I only see the cover for a couple of seconds, and the page is reverted again to 'my documents'.
How to do? I can open it in ADE on my PC, but not on Nook. I'll appreciate any help!

I moved your posting from the Workspaces forum to the Digital Editions forum.
