Sony reader PRS-350 - Problems still unsolved?

iMac does not recognize Sony PRS-350 Reader when USB connected. This problem was first described in 2009. In the Reader Library software, Error is displayed where it should be Reader. Moving downloaded books is impossible. Could it be true that Sony still has done nothing to repair this? Any advice is welcome, thanks!

The way you describe your problem tells me that it may be because of the
digital rights assigned to the ebook. Publishers and resellers have the
ability to restrict downloads to your PC.
With ADE in Library mode, put your cursor on the title of the ebook. A
small arrow will appear. Put your cursor on that arrow, and a drop-down
menu will appear. In the middle, you'll see the digital permissions
embedded in the ebook, and I'd bet that the one about copying says
'no'.... If this is the case, you can go back to the source and complain.
They might - or might not - be able/willing to do anything about it.
Hope this helps!

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600. I am running windows Vista. I am registered and my PC is authorized, but I cannot get DE to authorize my reader. Any ideas?

Hi
Thank you so much to Reg for his answer to the above subject. I have been reading
/ searching / reading at both Adobe sites, Sony sites, library sites etc. for almos
t one month to find a solution to this problem.
I couldn't imagine that we had bought a device (Sony 650 Touch) that did not hold the correct software nor the correct manual. Unbelievable.
To those who come after me... go to THIS SITE http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
and download the application for PC (top left) orMAC (top right). It takes time, but it works !
I'm just so happy now !!

You cannot unlist yourself from the ASC. Only a host can do that and there has to be a very good reason for doing so, like a privacy concern or issue, something like that. If you do not want to participate in the community, just quit posting.
Did you also check the box at the top of the post that you participated in and check Stop Email Notifications? It is in the Actions Box in the upper right corner of each page on the website. You have to go back to the post that you were in and select that as well.
Do you see the Actions Box in the upper right corner of this screenshot?

Sony Reader PRS-505 don't appears on Digital Edition for Mac OSX 10.5

I now, Sony® Reader PRS-505 appears on Mac as mass storage card, but in the specifications for Digital Editions, it doesn't say any think about that is not support for mac, and I would like to know if the Sony® Reader PRS-505 doesn't appears on my mac because is not supported by Digital Editions on Mac or because I have a problem. If not , Is going to be a support for it on the immediate future.
Now that Digital Editions offer support for Windows I believe Adobe have to offer parity for Mac.
Thanks very much.

I can concur that this Mac workaround does not actually work, for protected digital editions checked out from a public library website.
The Adobe staffer said that as a one time process, you can authroize the reader itself on a windows machine, by stating "Next, plug in your Sony Reader and then in ADE, select the Reader and choose "Authorize Device" from the Library menu"
I did not see this option, the only authorize command in the library menu was to authorize the computer, not the reader.
On my windows machine, my PRS-505 shows up in the Adobe digital editions software, and I verified that the copy of digital editions was registered to my adobe ID (email address). I can use the windows digital editions software to copy checked out titles to the PRS-505 no problem, they last the 3 weeks they are supposed to and open up fine on the 505.
On the Mac, I can download checked out titles from the library to the mac digital editions software, and read them on the Mac. They last the 3 weeks as expected.
I can also, using the mac's finder, copy the downloaded digital edition book to the reader, which shows up in the finder as a mass storage device. When I fire up the reader, the transferred titles are there.
HOWEVER, if I try to actually read the checked out title from the library (that I copied over from the Mac) I get a blank screen that says "not authorized". Going along with this, the title, in the library view on the PRS-505, does not show the little "day counter" that counts down how many days you have from your 21 day borrowing window.
So yes, you can use the Mac finder to manually copy a downloaded digital edition to the PRS-505, but its not actually authorizing that copied book to the reader, so you can actually READ it on the reader. That authorization process only seems to happen on a PC, when you use the digital editions software to do the copy instead of the Mac finder.
So I don't think there is an actual workaround, at least not for me.

Compatibility of Adobe DE with Sony Reader (PRS-T3)

Hello,
My ebook reader died and I want to get a new one, possibly the Sony PRS-T3. I have a lot of DRM-protected books registered to my Adobe account in Digital Editions. Before I buy a new device I want to be sure I can continue to have access to the ebooks I bought.
Is the Sony Reader PRS-T3 compatible with ADE, then?
Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the answer. I feared that much, since the T3-model was not in Adobe's list over compatible products. I hoped it was simply because the list was too old, but it seems there is a different explanation to that.
A different question: my old reader was authorised in ADE. Can I bind a new (and compatible) device to the same ID so I can continue reading the books I have already purchased with the old ID?

PC does not recognize second Sony Reader PRS-T3. Adobe ID problem or what?

I have bought TWO e-readers, Sony PRS-T3 yesterday. The first one was no problem, after getting an Adobe ID etc, to connect to my PC (Win 7 Ultimate) and recognized by Sony's PC software "Reader for PC". But the second reader, same model, does not get connected to the PC at all. I checked on a second PC, AND both devices were recognized on it. So there is no problem to get connected when there is no Sony software installed and no Adobe ID registered at login on that computer. Is this an Adobe ID problem? And how can I solve it?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

A-B driver problem, still unsolved

This problem got marked as solved, but is not. Any NI techs familar with this driver and/or A-B KF2?
I am having a problem with the Allen Bradley driver. The help file says it "enables serial comm via a KE, KF or KF2 module". I am using a KF2 device. I can verify everything with RSLinx, see my program, RS Who shows everything, but when I try lookout I always get the error "STS error 10 reading xxx illegal command or format". Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Other details: DF1, half duplex, 19200 N81. It seems like it wants to momentarily read device data in Lookout before I get the above error message.

Below is some pasted text from the serial log file. I am trying to communicate with a SLC 5/04 through a KF-2, half duplex. I get the same results when trying a DataLink DL3500 (which os supposed to be the equivalant to the KF-2). RS Linx works fine through both devices, Lookout does not. Notice the funky characters inserted in the lines between the "[ ]" data.

Ancient MySQL problem, still unsolved

For the longest time, I've had a strange problem with MySQL. Basically, after a certain amount of time--it could be a few days, or a couple weeks--its CPU usage will go from around 20% to 80%, with exactly the same load.
If I shutdown MySQL and restart it, CPU load is back to normal. What could this be?
...Rene

With some great help from the MySQL mailing list, I believe I've identified the problem, which is fundamental to Mac OS X's BSD UNIX layer: DNS lookups are not thread-safe in the version of BSD (5?) used by Mac OS X. The workaround is to add skip-name-resolve to my.cnf, and ensure that MySQL's GRANT tables use IPs instead of host names. Here's some resources on the topic, in case anyone else runs into this:

Pay pal payment problem still unsolved

Just wanted to say that customer support service in POLAND is a joke. They hired foreigners who probably use translator to communicate with their clients in Poland and they are pretty much useless.I had problem with pay pal payment this month, they charged me money, but I got the same message as everyone saying that there was a problem with my payment and that I should update my payment info, which I did and then got charged AGAIN. Those ladies from "customer support" downgraded my account to free, even though the payment was taken from my account (TWICE) and I presented them with transaction number or whatever. I just wish Spotify would take their clients EVERYWHERE equally seriously and actually hire people that can solve problems.I just don't know who else I could message, as I'm done talking to the Polish customer support service because they are clearly unable to solve my problem and expect me to sign up for the premium account ONCE AGAIN (they actually said that) and pay again, I guess? And I'm not doing that. Omg, I haven't been this annoyed with a customer service in a long time lol.

PRS 350 Stylus

I'm curious how many other owners of the Reader PRS 350 have had the stylus break apart. The top of mine simply fell off recently while it was properly stowed in the device. I had perhaps used it on one or two occasions since the device was purchased.
I have contacted Sony support and have been told I can purchase a new one for US$ 62.91 plus tax and shipping; however, I think that is an exorbitant cost for such a tiny piece of plastic.
Has anyone had luck in obtaining a free or reasonably priced replacement stylus from Sony, or from another source? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The part numbers for the stylus are:
A1786740A Silver
A1799066A Pink
A1799099A Blue
I would recommend that you call Sony customer relations team on the pricing:

Rumors. New Digital Book Reader (PRS-T3/T3S)?

As last summer for PRS-T2, this summer leaks out at the FCC visit, the probably new Sony Reader PRS-T3/T3S. In these public FCC documents:
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&called...
there are only photos, dimensions, WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) and battery capacity (3,7V, 3,6Wh)
and:
“Remark: The sample selected for test was prototype that approximated to production product and was provided by manufacturer.”
What do you think about it?

This is really beautiful!!!

But why PRS-T3 couldn't be like this...
Anyway: It'll be a Sony!!!

Sony PRS-350, Reader, ADE, PDF, EPUB, HELP

Don't want to say how many hours I've spent trying to download two books from my local digital library to my new Sony PRS-350 e-reader.
My setup:
Windows XP Svc Pk 3, IE 8
Sony PRS-350 e-reader, listed as a compatible device with my area's digital library
Authorized my computer and device on both Adobe Digital Editions and Sony Reader sites
I bought the Sony for borrowing from the library, rather than having to buy.
Downloaded a PDF book from the digital library to ADE but was unable to send it to the e-reader
Downloaded an EPUB book that is nowhere to be found on my PC and also not on ADE [and obviously not on the e-reader]
When downloading/attempting to download, the Sony Reader window opens up telling me "this computer is not authorized to preview this book".
I am not trying to buy a book from the Sony Store, only trying to download what I have borrowed from my library.
I've sent emails to the local library which supports the digital library, but it is too early to expect to hear back from anyone and I also hope that someone here will have some thoughts based on the information I have provided. I must be missing a step but after reading the instructions on the e-reader and online [and some posts here], I am no closer to figuring out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks to all for any information. I am bleary-eyed and need to get away from the screen. Will definitely check back later.

It may be useful to mention this (the need to install the Sony library software and the no-function on Mac) in the help for moving books from ADE to supported e-readers (the PRS-350 is on the list of supported devices), since it clearly states that ADE will recognize e-readers when you connect them to an authorized PC and will prompt you to authorize the ereader. I have been trying for two days to get it to work and authorize my e-reader...
Grateul for your post, though, so I can stop my attempts.
