Unable to open library books on Kobo Touch

I am unable to open library books which are DRM protected on my Kobo Touch. This is a new problem in the last few months. The message on my Kobo is "This document is protected by Adobe Digital Rights Management and is not currently authorized for use with your Adobe ID. Please sign in with the authorized Adobe ID and try again." At Kobo's suggestion I have done a factory reset of the Kobo Touch. I have also deauthorized both the computer and Kobo, and authorized them again. Still no luck. Please help! I have wasted ALOT of time on this.

There seem to be lots of people have Kobo problems at the moment.
I haven't got one so I am not sure if this will help, but read around the post below and see it it matches.
possible help with Kobo issues … I haven’t tried this

Also, try ADEv1.7.2.
~~~~~~~~~
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.

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.

ADE won't let me read DRM books - 4.0 crashes when opening library books (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME) so I installed 3.0 and now I get an "activation error". I have it authorized to my ID....WHERE IS THE STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Working on a MAC with a Kobo. ADE won't let me read DRM books - 4.0 crashes when opening library books (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME) so I installed 3.0 and now I get an "activation error". I have it authorized to my ID....WHERE IS THE STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? I have wasted hours on this and I'm getting really annoyed.

Thank you! This worked. But now I copied my files back, which was successful. But the last file did´t work. I even loaded this file from the bookstore. When I try to load this file, ADE crashes and gives me the following report:

Unable to open any books in iBooks after 7 download

Unable to open any books from iBooks app after downloading new 7

Hi, Cargei.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test opening a downloaded book in iBooks
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If the issue persists, try downloading a free iBook and test to see if it opens.
Cheers,

I am unable to open .epub books downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Keep getting "Unlock Code Needed" message.

I am running Windows 8 and am unable to open .epub books downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Keep Getting "Incorrect Unlock Code" message. B&N help is useless. Any ideas?

the user name is not the B&N username, but the name on the billing address. And the credit card number used for the purchase is the unlock code.

PAB_CMD_GET_PABS:Unable to open address book

Hi, i have running iMS 5.2 with more than 40000 users. I have the next problem with one of our users when he wants to make a new message: a window error appears with the next message: "PAB_CMD_GET_PABS:Unable to open address book"
Anyone knows why?
Thanks a lot.
Hugo

As far as I know there are three things that can lead to this error message
<ul><li>The ldap-server in the paburi and the ldap-server configured in the mail-server differ
<li>The paburi does not contain the RDN of the user as it's last ou component That is: If for example your user has the following RDN: uid=the_user. Then the RDN of the paburi must be ou=uid=the_user.
<li>The path to the paburi doesn't exist in the ldap. That is: If your paburi ends in the following dn: ou=uid=the_user, ou=domain, o=pab then the nodes o=pab and ou=domain, o=pab must exist. The Webmail application will create the node ou=uid=the_user, ou=domain, o=pab, but not its parents.
</ul>
I hope this helps.
yours,
Robert Gattung

AB_CMD_GET_PABS:Unable to open address book

My iMS 5.2 is configured with iDS 5.1.
Error : "AB_CMD_GET_PABS:Unable to open address book"
I had gone thru all the replies in this regard.
Even the pab attribute value is correct w.r.t the user's DN.
My application creates a new user with mail options enabled.The objectclass attribute values that are assigned to the new user are inetUser,ipUser,
inetmailuser.
I am able to access the webmail of a user created using the iDS console.
But this error comes while accessing the webmail of the user created by my appln.
Suggest me what all attributes are required to solve my problem ?and why icons of the users created by my application are round in shape instead of the default ones.
Thnxx.

I had solved the icon problem.
But this error comes while accessing the webmail of the user created by my appln.
Can anyone suggest me to solve error ?
Thnx."

I see that firefox is installed but can't get epub books to open. have a cruz android but unable to open any books downloaded.

Cruz Android but unable to open epub books.

Usually when you uninstall/reinstall you are given the option to retain all your settings including add-ons. If you can't get started, though, I really can't help any further.
As a long shot you could try opening Firefox from your Start Menu or Programs folder. If that works, you should create a new Firefox icon. Drag your Firefox from the Start Menu to the Desktop(it doesn't actually move) and it will offer you the option of creating a desktop icon.
As a very long shot you could check the Properties of the Desktop icon and see if anything is out of place.
When you say it doesn't show up on the screen do you mean it doesn't open at all or it opens to a blank screen? Try pressing F11 if you get a blank screen - you could be in full screen mode.

I just downloaded a book from ibooks and it says that it is unable to open the book

i just downloaded a book "made for ibooks" after downloading the ibooks app. However when I click on it it say it is "unable to open". I thought it was a download issue, and went to download it again, but don't have that option, as it says it is "downloaded".

Hello, jbc1952.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend deleting the problematic book and downloading it again by accessing your previous purchases. Here are a couple articles that will help you with this process.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the book you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a book:
Tap the iBooks app.
View your Purchased Books collection.
Tap Edit.
Tap any books you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
You'll have the option to delete your book on all your devices.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac Apphttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
Books
Follow these steps to download purchased books:
Tap iBooks and tap Store.
Scroll down and tap Purchased.
Tap the book that you want to download.
Download past purchases

Unable to open library

I recently had my hard drive replaced (due to apple recall), everything has been reinstalled and working properly except for iPhoto. The library is definatley on my harddrive(my screen saver is using them no problem) but here is the issue - when I open iPhoto it states "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." then after clicking upgrade and it examping the photo library, it says "iPhoto is unable to open this library."? so bottom line iPhoto can no longer open my Photo Library, help please???

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can you help me. My kobo touch software is 1.9.17. (r37581 3/16/12) model no. N905B27210158.

Hi Jeff and Gibert.. I had the same issue but knew that my system prefs were fine... I found the workaround... just below is a link that will take you to a page to do a manual download... both for Mac and Windows. I did it last night and was able to open my files properly in Adobe Digital Edition. Hope that helps!

ADE Crashes opening library book from OneClickDigital (Mac OSX 10.9.5)

I'm new to ADE. Our local library started offering eBooks this past week via OneClickDigital.
eReader is ADE. I loaded 4.0 on my Mac and downloaded an eBook. ADE crashes every time I download a book or attempt to open the book.
After the crash, the book appears to be downloaded - I can even open the Mac Finder and see the pdf on my hard drive in Documents->Digital Editions.
I've tried various ways to open the book - double clicking, right-clicking the book icon and selecting read and selecting the book and using the File->Read menu. All of them result in a crash.
Any suggestions? I've seen recommendations to load earlier versions of ADE, but I don't know a legitimate source for that.

Try posting in the MacBook Pro laptop forum. his is the Mac Pro desktop forum.

ADE crashes opening library book

Digital Editions will no longer transfer a library book to my Nook. I get the following error: "Adobe Digital Editions quit unexpectedly." I'm running OS X 10.10.1 and ADE 4.0.2

Follow-up... it turns out this problem was caused by a corrupted e-book file. The test is to download another e-book, then try to open it. At my librarian's suggestion, I tried this and it worked. They will try to fix their broken e-book file.

Unable to open library ebooks on my macbook.

Hello,
I am trying to download library books on my macbook and it is not opening. The screen comes blank when I open the ebook; the sample books here work fine. I had this problem before and somehow it was back to normal but I am having the same problem again. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8. Please help!!!

It could be an authorization issue; though that should give a clearer error message.
The sample books probably don't not worry about the DRM which is why they are OK.
Try deauthorizing the mac (cmd-shift-D).
Restart ADE and you will be asked to reauthorize. Give it you Adobe id and password.
With luck, all the books will then work.
