Trying to access my adobe digital edition docs

I downloaded digital editions on a new pc, but it won't allow me to open any of my old docs, nor will it allow me to authorise my new version. Isn't it supposed to be possible to download it onto more than one pc or reader and use the same id number to register multiple versions of digital editions? How do I solve this problem?

I received one of those messages too, after I had changed my forum password, which was mandatory before I was able to log into the forum.
It might take some time to have your account deactivated, so it would probably be a good idea to change your password in the meantime.
The people most impacted by the hack would be those who have set up an account with--and purchased products from--adobe, and have provided credit card information, etc., that is associated with that account. In this situation, it would be advisable to contact the credit card company immediately, tell them to suspend the account, and issue a new card with a new number. In that way, no unauthorized charges can be made.
If all you did was to register to use this site's forums, and provided no private financial information to Adobe, then at worst, the hackers might try to use your e-mail address to send you spam. (Along this line, if you used the same password for your adobe account that you use for your e-mail, it would be advisable to change that too.)

How can I set my computer to not go blank when I am trying to read on adobe digital editions???

I have a windows 7 computer. And I do not remember how to set my programing to stop shutting down the display every 20 seconds or so. So I Must be going senile or something.

You can just set a hot corner to black the screen and it won't go to sleep.
Ensure the sleep slider is at never.
Go to System Preferences, and click "Exposé & Spaces"
Go to the "Exposé" Tab, you will see "Active Screen Corners"
Change one to "Sleep Display" So when you put your cursor to the corner and leave it there (don't touch it or it will come back to a normal screen) it will be black but won't sleep!
This is what I have set on my iMac, hope it helps! It's my first answer post

Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it. I do have an Adobe ID.
I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 crashing on Mac

I have a Macintosh running Mavericks, 10.9.5 and was running Adobe Digital Editions 2 happily and then made the major error of trying to "update" to Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 -- and the installer crashed. Now when I try to run Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 it just crashes, and restoring Adobe Digital Editions 2 from Time Machine gives me an app that does not open.
Any advice other than never trying to use Adobe Digital Editions again, and remembering Adobe as a company that does not support it's products?

With more details: I found an answer to a similar question on the Forum from TTWTT (TTMTT), who posted a link to download versions 2 and 3 of Digital Editions at Adobe Digital Editions downloads (Adobe Digital Editions downloads). I had tried find these downloads on Adobe's far from helpful website with total lack of success. Version 3 seems to be working.
Whether Adobe is working is a totally different question.
So far it appears that Adobe Digital Editions 4.02 is a disaster, best avoided.
My thanks to TTMTT, and if I could give credit for a correct answer I would.

How do I see the source code in a Digital Edition doc?

First let me say that as an author, I'm a huGe fan of DRM and anything else that protects my ability to feed my family by allowing me to control who can sell my copyrighted works.
But.....I'm creating a book that I hope will eventually be accessed through Adobe Digital Editions and I would like to see what the books look like from the backside. Usually I go into Sigil to have a look at the coding of books whose layout I like.... but because of DRM I can't see the source code in any of the books in my Digital Library. So, is there a way to take a peek at the coding of a Digital Library book? I don't care about the content, only how the CSS and HTML are done.
Thanks
RS

You're welcome

Adobe digital edition: error! check activation

when downloaded a book and tried to open on Adobe digital editions, got "error! check activation" even though I provided my adobe ID for authorization.
my computer shows as Authorized, but cannot open the book

Have you activated Digital Editions with an Adobe ID (or a Vendor ID)?
Go to the Help menu and select Authorization Information...
A window will appear to display your authorization information. If your computer is not authorized, you'll need to do that before you can read any DRM-protected books. If you don't have an Adobe ID, you can create one here.

Cannot load ebook in Adobe Digital Editions on Mac

HELP! I purchased an ebook (PDF) and I'm having trouble using it in Adobe Digital Editions. I receive the following error...
Error getting license
License server communication problem: E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER
I had been trying to transfer the ebook to my iphone using TXTR but the app can not load the document.
I THINK I may have originally downloaded the ebook to Adobe Digital Editions without authorizing my computer, then when I later authorized it the ebook will no longer load.
Is there a solution. Is the ebook tied to my Adobe ID when I download it. I've tried re-downloading the ebook but I still get the same error. I've also tried removing and reinstalling Adobe Digital Editions.
By the way, I am on a Mac computer.
Thank you for any help you can give.
GrammySuz

You can print the book if the publisher has given the print permission.
Can you provide the exact error statement? It will be helpful in understanding the issue.

Now again AUTHORIZE ADE

Error will be fixed !!

Unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition

unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition ..instead i keep getting the error message ''unable to access ebooks any longer with adobe digital edition''

Not seen that message before, but two standard suggestions that may help.
1) ~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

I have adobe digital edition 2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE.

I have adobe digital edition v2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE. Where to I find the 'manage library'? and should I upgrade the ADE to version v1.7.2.?

To make Mail quit you'll need to perform a forced quit or, failing that, a forced shutdown.
When an application won't quit you can hold the Command and Option keys together and then type the ESC key. This (usually) brings up a dialog with all the running applications. Select the offending program and click the Force Quit button.
If this doesn't force the application to quit (quite rare) or if you cannot get the Force Quit Dialog to pop up, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down the entire computer. This should be a last resort but sometimes is necessary.

I am trying to get authorisation to use Adobe digital edition, but my book's vendor is not on the li

I am trying to get authorisation to use Adobe digital edition, but my book's vendor is not on the list, and hence the password not accepted.

Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

Adobe digital editions keeps trying to install itself,

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, my OS is a fresh install (3 weeks old). At random times during computer use, adobe digital editions attempts to install itself (even though it is already installed) and then multiple error messages spawn saying 'an instance of adobe editions 4.02 installer is already running'. Sometimes this will spawn 20+ error messages even if I immediately hit the cancel button on the installer.
I've gone through my entire computer and deleted every instance of the editions installer exe, checked my startup in msconfig, ran malwarebytes; spybot; security essentials; emptied temporary files; uninstalled digital editions and tried installing using the prompt.
The prompt seems to occur more often after starting my computer up, sometimes I will receive a chain of 3-4 separate instances in the first 5-10 minutes of boot. But the installer does then also randomly occur during regular computer use, even when idle. This is becoming incredibly frustrating as it the installer forces my screen to itself, dragging me out of whatever program i was using at the time.
Any help would be much appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more information in solving this stupid issue.

Well I found my own solution, it may help you as well. When I got the install error, I opened up task manager and switched over to the 'processes' tab. I selected one of the instances of the error, right clicked and hit 'open file location'.
This took me to the file within my windows user folder, which seemed to be some partially installed temp file. Delete that file (shift+delete) and the stupid problem should go away.

Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

Hello,
I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
Kind regards

I don't think there is a way out.
You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

We are trying to install Adobe Digital Editions 4.O. it errors each time.

The application will not install.

I hope it fixes your crash issue as well.
