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.

  • Digital Editions for Mac Support for Sony eReaders

    With Sony releasing the eBook Library 3.0 Software for Mac and PC today and, therein, providing an official Sony eReader driver for Mac (sony_prs kernel extension found in the 3.0 software installer), will Adobe be able to provide support for the Sony eReaders in a future version of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac? As far as I understood, the limitation on the Mac version stemmed from the fact that Sony itself did not officially support the Mac but with that now in the past when can we expect to see this support added in Adobe Digital Editions for Mac?  Thank you!

    Believe what you read on the site.

  • Sony PRS-T1 ereader not appearing in Digital Editions

    My Sony PRS-T1 ereader does not appear in Digital Editions for me to be able to transfer ebooks to the ereader.
    The Adobe site lists this ereader as a supported device. It's software is updated and my version of Digital Editions is 2.0
    Any ideas on what I can do to make Digital Editions recognize this ereader?

  • 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?

  • 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 !!

  • Chinese song titles don't appear when copied from iTunes Mac to XP

    Hi all,
    I've tried googling the answer to this but can't seem to find the answer so wondered if anyone can help me. Please?
    I use a G4 MacMini at home running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9x and keep all my music on an external hard drive. I want to play my music using ITunes 10x on my PC at work running XP SP3. I need to reformat my iPod on the PC anyway cos at the moment it won't as it was originally formatted on my Mac.
    I've copied my iTunes Library and my music files to an external hard drive and am using MacDrive so that I can copy them on to my PC, however I've noticed that the titles of the 20 or so Chinese albums I have don't appear. They appear as underscores not squares. The artists names appear ok but not the song titles.
    I've installed the East Asian language pack in the Control Panel on the PC. On the Advanced tab, the Language for non-Unicode programs is set to English (UK) and the Code page conversion tables is set to 10002 (Mac - Traditional chinese Big5).
    Is there anything else I should have done?
    The Chinese song titles would have been imported automatically when I ripped them off CDs on the Mac.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Adobe digital editions for sony reader

    I have successfully partitioned my hard drive, loaded a new copy of Windows Vista Home Basic (several times) but the Digital Editions software necessary to use the Reader will not install on the widows partition - I get an error message every time - "corrupt file digital editions". All drivers etc seemed to load from bootcamp without any problem. Help??

    Since the issue is not really Mac related but related to Sony's app and Windows, you should really post your question on a Windows forum such as the ones here:

  • Office files opened from network drive appear to be blank for Mac Users

    Hi all,
    We've got five macs in our office running 10.9 with Office 2011, and we have a file server running 10.8 which stores all of our documents.
    More often than not, when one of the macs opens a DOC or DOCX from the file server, the file opens up blank.
    There aren't invisible fonts, doing a Select All and changing to black doesn't help.
    The files appear to be fine when opened in Finder, or with LibreOffice (which my colleagues don't want to use!)
    The files open correctly when the files are moved to the local hard drive and opened from there.
    The files also open fine via the network on a Windows 8.1 PC with Office 2007.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and got a workaround? I've been looking at this for a while but not found anything as of yet.
    Appreciate any assistance you can give. :)

  • Cannot read mails in hotmail with firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8

    I'm using firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8. I can log in hotmail, but cannot open or read any mails.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • Saving a DRM book to pendrive/external disk to later download and read it on personal notebook (with Adobe Digital Editions)

    Hello.
    I installed Adobe Digital Editions on my mother's personal computer and activated my Adobe ID in order to be able to purchase, download and read DRM books there.
    But is it possible to save the DRM books to a pendrive or external hard disk, so that I can "carry them" and later download and read them on my personal notebook (having previously installed Adobe Digital Editions and activated my Adobe ID in the notebook)?
    I don't know if DRM books can be saved to pendrives and external hard disks...

    Incidentally, you do know that you can buy kindle or Nook apps for your ipad? I was assuming you wanted a DE-specific app.
    EDIT Actually, those apps are free--you just pay for what you buy through them, if that helps you any.
    Incidentally, O'Reilly, my publisher, uses PDF for real galley purposes, although they do create epub editions of their books for distribution. You might want to ask the publishers you work with if there's another format available.
