Unable to return books early

I'm using ADE 2.0 on Windows 7, and can't return books to the library early. I click on "return borrowed item" but nothing happens. Library shows that I still have the book checked out. I used to be able to do this with no problem, but I haven't checked out library books for my nook (first edition) in a long time.

Returning library book early crashes ADE 3.0 in Win 8.1

Every time I try to return a library book early using ADE 3.0, ADE crashes. The book is returned, but this is surely a bug in the product.
Any fixes?

Hi,
It will be really helpful if you could share the crash logs with us.
You can find crashlogs in "Console" app.
In Console App, you need to click on the "User Diagnostic Reports" in the left sidebar and then there you will find report for ADE (something like "Adobe Digital Editions_<date>_<machine-name>.crash".
Thanks.

Unable to return borrowed book to library

I have not had this problem before. When trying to return book to library a note came up saying 'if this borrowed item was fulfilled with one or more other items, returning would also return all of these items. I pushed return and message now says 'unable to return - Licence Server Communication Problem E_BAD_LOAN_ID
I have been able to transfer another book from library since this message

I'm getting the same message. Would really appreciate a solution.

Unable to assemble book error message

After selecting buy book, the bar says assembling book then quickly comes up with a error message saying unable to assemble book.* -[NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString:]: nil argument . What is going on and how do I fix it.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It might be that you have left a text box empty. Look thru the pages and in any text box that has no text just put a space. Then try again.
If that doens't help, make a backup copy of the library and rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. Try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Unable to Return Components of Production Order

Hi,
Created Production Order (PdO) with 9-10 components, the 8th component being Item HEX with planned quantity of 5 and actual issue of 200 at row number 8 of PdO. In meantime, someone had deleted some row of PdO. The user then tries to click "Report Completion" and "Return Components" and selects Item HEX. The row number for Item HEX is now strangely Row 9 and the user is unable to return the quantity of 200 for Item HEX.
The "available batches" table of the Item HEX just does not show the quantity of 200 and the user is unavailable to "return components".
Could someone help me what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Ajay Audich

Hi Gordon,
The item row deleted was some other item and not Item HEX. The Item HEX which now shows as row 9 DOES show the issued quantity as ~200 but the batches for this quantity are not visible and cannot be selected in the batch selection screen.
Could the deletion of some OTHER item in the production order create this problem?
Hi Sridharan- I do not understand your reply "wrongly posting"-could you please explain...this error is happening in the production order of SAP Business One.
Thanks,
Ajay Audich

Unable to assemble book

I have built a book in iPhoto, but cannot place the order for it, because I keep getting the following error message when the system tries to assemble the book:
file://localhost/Users/strandoutdoors/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202012-02-04%20at%20 9.31.46%20PM.png
In case the link doesn't work, here's what the error message says:
Unable to Assemble Book
There is a problem with the photo with the filename "(null)." The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.
Here's the problem:
I have moused over every image that is placed in the book, to check its assigned name, and cannot find any with the filename null.
Does anybody know how I could pin down which photo is giving me the trouble?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Interestingly, I got a similar error message, this one identified the pic, and when I look at the original, it doesn't show anything wrong wtih the pic. Here is the message I get:
There is a problem with the photo with the filename “DSCN3396.JPG.” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.
This was JUST after doing a full rebuild (every checkmark, 7 hours it took) and so when I removed the picture and replace it with something else, I get the same error message with another pic (from the same roll, can they all be corrupt?).
Please help.

Unable to assemble book - help!!!

I painstakingly put together a collection of photo's for my first wedding anniversary and attempted place my order when iPhoto '08 crashed on me. The error I repeatedly keep getting is "Unable to Assemble book [NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString:]: nil argument"
I am hoping that Apple doesn't ruin my Wedding Anniversary, but after repeated attempts, am beginning to lose hope.

After reading a few other posts from users with similar problems I finally managed to get the thing to work by changing the layout of pages for which I did not include text. It seems that Apple's software is not intelligent enough to realize that if a user does not input text, then that means that the *user does not want text to be printed*. As a recent switcher to the Mac environment I am appalled at what I am experiencing with applications by Apple. Apple fails where MS succeeds and vice-versa. Ah well... I guess you just can't expect ONE single company to make BOTH a stable OS and applications that work.

Release is cancelled , unable to return material to vendor

HI All,
We have a BPA, against this BPA we have many releases.
For example We have a release 100.
For this release 100
Total Quantity for an item - 35000
We have received 15000 (received,accepted & deliver)
Also received 20000( now we want to return this to vendor. (After receiving only we want to return it)
But after receiving 15000 & 20000, the release 100 has be cancelled.
We are unable to return the material now.
Is there any way to return the material when the release is cancelled for a particular BPA>
Regards,
SYR

Cancel is irreversible action. There is no way to revert it back systematically. If the line is canceled, we cannot do any receipt transactions (receive / correct / return) on the shipment.
So the next best option I can think of is
Do a Miscellaneous Issue to reduce the onhand
Post negative accounting journals if required.
Communicate to the Payables indicating that they need not pay the items that are returned.

Workaround for "Unable to Assemble Book-NSPlaceholderMutable String issue

I got the problem when I was putting a book together. I tried to assemble the book and got the error "Unable to Assemble Book-NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString: nil argument" The error seems to come up when the Title or Subtitle field is blank on the Cover of a Hardcover book.
I added a space to the empty text field (in my case the subtitle) and I was able to successfully place an order for the book.

Thank you very much, Anastassios!
I was stuck with my book, ready to print and wasted a lot of time asking around for what seemed to be a system error message string.
Now I resolved, following your workaround. In my case I had to edit ALL text frames I modified (deleting the default text, for instance) adding a simple space.
Thank you again.

Preflight droplet process returns too early – before it's done

I'm calling an Acrobat preflight DROPLET from program that I'm writing, and I need to know when the files are ready, that is when the preflight fixups are done.
I need to know this in order to go on with some other file system stuff in my program, that needs to be done after the preflight fixups.
I guess the droplet just tells Acrobat what to do, and then exits. The Droplet process stays up for a while but exits before the work is done.
There is an question from 2009 asking the exact same thing, but no answer. Preflight droplet returns too early
Since it's in a locked section of the forum I venture to ask the same question now, six years later.
Checking the modified dates of all files does not seem to work since a preflight obviously does not alter files that are not in need of being altered.
I'm on windows, and I don't know whether this is a platform dependent problem.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Andreas

This is not a good way to do it. But this is the way I do it now...
It seems to work but there is no guarantee that it will work in the future, or even on all machines.
private static int WaitForAcrobatReady() {
// Get the current Acrobat instance.
var app = new Acrobat.AcroApp();
// While a preflight (droplet) is running, app.GetNumAVDocs() will
// not return ANYTHING, it will just hang.
return app.GetNumAVDocs();
To sum up the efforts of the last weeks: Acrobat doesn't seem to be made for inclusion in other automation jobs. This is just another thing that doesn't work.
(I had to use the C# library PDFSharp to do other things that Acrobat can do really well only that it's not possible to set those properties, or start that kind of actions, from "outside".)

Preflight droplet returns too early

I want to convert a color PDF into grayscale. So I created a new preflight profile where nothing happens except color fixup:
Advanced > Print Production > Preflight
PDF Fixups > Convert to Grayscale
I saved the profile and created a Droplet named grey.exe.
When I call grey.exe smallSize_1MB.pdf everything is fine. But when I have to convert a PDF having big filesize like grey.exe bigSize_160MB.pdf the Droplet .exe process returns before the preflight is done.
Problems: A script (e.g. a batch file) continues without waiting for the Droplet to finish. So the script cannot make use the Droplet's result, e.g. a preflight report or the converted PDF file.
Why does the Droplet's .exe process return too early? Everybody can test this with the help of the attached Droplet and the following batch scripts:
smallSize.bat (use something small, e.g. 1 MB or smaller):
copy /Y smallSize.pdf tmp.pdf
grey.exe tmp.pdf
echo "return"
pause
bigSize.bat (use something really big, e.g. 160 MB or bigger):
copy /Y bigSize.pdf tmp.pdf
grey.exe tmp.pdf
echo "return"
pause
Ideas, anyone?
Message was edited by: Droptix I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
Message was edited by: Droptix As an alternative I can imagine to re-produce the Droplet's function by Interapplication communication (IAC) through OLE, see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication.html -> if anyone can tell me how to do a grayscale conversion via IAC/OLE... would be great! I know the IAC/OLE basics, can open, save and edit PDFs but don't know how to convert. It would also be possible to use: Advanced/Print Production/Convert Colors > set all Document Colors to convert > set Blending profile for instance to Gray Gamma 1.8 > set conversion options to don't embed profile.

This is not a good way to do it. But this is the way I do it now...

I have just uploaded 31.3.0. I need to return to earlier version. Please send it to me.

I have just uploaded 31.3.0. I need to return to earlier version. Please send it to me.
The new version is horrible. The alternating blue/white/blue/white colors in address lines are making me dizzy and sick. Same thing is happening in SUBJECT line. I don't go to discos, and I don't want flashing, changing colors on my screen. It slows me up - I used to type first letters of a name as recipient, now I need to wait for the color to change or something.
Please send me the previous version, which was perfect.
Thank you,
David

David you can find any TB version here:

but i don't think that there are flashing colours in the new version

TS3274 Unable to choose books by author after IBooks upgrade

I have just upgraded my IBooks on my IPad 1 (iOS5.1.1). Now if I am in the browse mode I am unable to choose books to purchase. Each time I click on an author I am asked to click on author to see books. I have tried removing IBooks from my IPad and reloading it and still have the same issue. Since I am using an IPad1 iOS5.1.1 is the most up to date operating system I can put on so I can't try upgrading to iOS6.0. Is there a work around for this problem?

There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
iTunes
Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
Choose Books along the top toolbar
In the Books panel, choose one of the following
Books and PDF Files
Books only
PDF only
In the Sync Books panel
All Books
Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
Select iTunes Sync
The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device
