Unable to transfer ebooks to my sony prs 505

Since I bought my new laptop with windows 8 I have had unsolvable problems and can still not transfer an ebook to my sony prs 505. I am having assertion failure, port error messages and licensing error messages. Can I please talk to someone over the phone so I can describe what is happening. The last time someone helped me by sharing my computer I had 190 talk windows that I had to close manually.

Chris,
This is a known issue that happens once in awhile, and honestly it isn't good news.
What it means, basically, is that due to an -extremely- obscure issue with the activation server, the ID you've used to authorize ADE 1.5 is corrupted (on our end, at the server). We have been trying to figure this out for awhile now, with little success.
You'll need to de-authorize and then re-authorize with a NEW adobeID:
1. Launch Digital Editions 1.5
2. Enter the key-combination of Cmd-Shift-D (Mac OS X) or Ctrl-Shift-D (Windows)
3. At the dialog, confirm that you wish to de-activate the machine
4. Quit Digital Editions
5. Restart ADE, and re-authorize with a NEW AdobeID. It doesn't have to be your Adobe support account ID, it can be anyhting that you can remember.
Now, at this point I'm not sure if your existing ebooks will automatically be re-migrated to the new account. I'm checking with Engineering to find out..

Can't see sony PRS-505 in digital editions

Have just downloaded ebook into digital editions on a new computer. (installed yesterday). On old computer, when I plugged in my sony prs-505 it showed up in digital editions, i dragged and dropped the book onto the sony - hey presto!
The sony is not showing on digital editions so can't drag and drop - have tried all drives in the computer.
How do I get the reader to show in digital editions? Thanks - K - Kiwi

You have to install the sony library, available here: http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
After installing the sony library your Reader will be shown in digital editions.

Unable to transfer ebooks on my binatone anymore

Can anyone explain why i cannot transfer ebooks from my laptop to my binatone anymore. I was able to do it march 2014.

The issue is with the way - and the user ID - that B&N uses when you
transfer ebooks from their site. Each ebook has a small file with data
about it and where it came from , including the user ID. That user ID is
different from the one that Adobe expects to find, and ADE won't do
anything with them. So, the answer to at least a part of your question is
that, when you download purchased ebooks from B&N, you cannot transfer them
to your computer via ADE because they were downloaded with a different user
ID. This frustrating situation is due in part to the digital rights that
have been implemented under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000 by
B&N. ADE just follows the rules.....
B&N people you spoke with were incorrect in saying that this is Adobe's
problem - they assign the digital rights and implement them through their
software.

Digital Editions does not recognize and authorize sony PRS-505

The problem is that it my first purchase a DRMed ebook at dieselbooks and I dowloaded digital editions and authorized it with no problems,
i downloaded the ebook and i was able to read it on digital editions. But the problem is that when i plug in the sony reader digital editions does not recognize it, so i cant authorize it and im unable to read the ebook on sony reader prs 505.
Since the ebook is DRMed i cant use another program to do it, i tried acrobat 8 with no solution.
Do you guys have an idea how to solve this problem?

Make sure you have installed and are running the latest Sony EBL software, the installation contains the needed drivers for ADE to talk to the 505. Note: if you are running on a Mac, ADE will not be able to talk to the 505 and you will have to use the Sony EBL 3.x instead.

I cannot get ADE to see my Sony PRS-505 reader.

Have got the latest (Mac) ADE and Reader software (re-installed several times), an Adobe ID, the iMac is authorised, but I cannot get the PRS-505 to appear as a bookshelf in ADE, nor does the eReader show any manifestation of ADE. Have trawled the forums and FAQ's bu to no avail. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
regards   Peter

Hi,
In order to fix this please do following.
Solution 1)
1) Connect your Reader to your computer.
2) Once conncted you will find a new drive created similar to C or D drive under My computer.
3) Open the Readers Drive and you will find one or two folders with name Digital Editions.
4) Delete those folder and plug off and re plug in the Reader.
5) Authorize Reader from the same Adobe ID which you used to Authorize Adobe Digital Editions.
6) Now try to transfer books to your Reader
Solution 2)
1) Click Start>>Run
    Type "regedit" in the box and hit enter.
    Locate the following key HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Adept>>Device delete the full folder (Right click on it and click delete).
2) Now Connect your Reader and then open Digital Editions.
3) Now it should recognize your Reader.
4) Connect the Reader and authorize it with same ID.
I hope this will help you..

Rizwan

Unable to transfer eBook

I purchased and have been using an eBook using Adobe Digital Editions without any problems on my windows computer. I recently bought a macbook and I installed Digital Editions on it. I activated it using the same email address I was using before. But when I try to open the pdf it says "Document is not licensed for this device type.". Redownloading the book from http://ebooks.primisonline.com gives me the same error.
I use this book a lot for work and I really need to be able to access it quickly. Can someone help?

Expanding on Jim's comments: for EPUB type books, the publisher decides how
many copies you can have or share, and whether or not you can copy or print
it. If you use ADE in Library view, you will notice an arrow (drop down
box) in the upper left hand corner of the book's avatar. If you click on
it, you will see a tab labelled 'Item Info'. When you click on this tab, it
will show you the location of the ebook on your computer and the publisher's
permissions. It's useful information if you have any thoughts of
transferring an ebook or trying to print some portion of it.
Hope this helps!

Can someone help me de-authorise my PRS-505

I am looking for help in de-authorising my Sony PRS-505 on my MAC computer. I wish to pass ownership to a third person and would like to do this first. Can anyone help? I had seen earlier advice for a PC but so far not for a MAC.
Thanks

Did you mean Photoshop Elements? For PSE, you can find the exe at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe You can write click the file and choose "send to :> desktop" to get your shortcut back
If you actually meant Photoshop, you should be able to find the program launcher at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe"
In case you are on Mac, go to Applications/Support Files and there you would find your app

How do I authorize my Sony PRS-T1 WiFi so I can transfer my ebooks from my Authorized Digital Editio

How do I authorize my Sony PRS-T1 WiFi so I can transfer my ebooks from my Authorized Digital Editions? The reader is not showing up in the left pane. I am using the USB cable. My operating system is Windows 7

Is it showing up as an external drive or similar in Explorer?
For most Sonys you need to install the Sony Reader software even if you don't want to use it. It also installs a driver that is needed for the Sony to be recognized by ADE. (Silly that that is necessary. Sony make good hardware, but they have always let themselves down on the software side.)
Some Sony's don't work well with ADE2.0 and Overdrive library books. If you have an issue there, try installing 1.7.2 instead.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

I changed my Adobe user ID when we changed from Windows PC to Mac and now I am unable to read previously downloaded ebooks on my Sony Reader device due to Digital Rights Management. Can I resolve this?

I changed my Adobe user ID when we changed from Windows PC to Mac and now I am unable to read previously downloaded ebooks on my Sony Reader device due to Digital Rights Management. Any ideas how I can get access to these now?

Hi Blotontheland,
Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

Adobe DE doesnt support Sonyereader PRS-T2 - anyway to transfer ebooks onto it?

Adobe DE doesnt support Sonyereader PRS-T2 - anyway to transfer ebooks onto it?

I am modifying the correct httpd.conf file on the server, it just doesn't seem to work. - If I put the rewrite rules in the <Directory /> the rewrite works but it adds /Library/WebServer/Documents to the URL.
I also tried putting the rewrite rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> but that did not work either.
mod_rewrite is enabled and running on the server.
I will post the rewrite rules again in the code brackets. Sorry for the long post. - If some one can try them out on their Leopard Server to see if they can get them to work, it would be much appreciated. Again, these work on my Leopard Client but I can't get them to work on Server.
-- The httpd.conf file posted above is just the default conf file found in /private/etc/apache2/

Sony PRS-T1 Not Showing Up in Adobe Digital Editions

Though my device, Sony eReader model PRS-T1, is listed under the supported devices (http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices), it does not appear when I open Digital Editions. I followed the directions at the following location: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/transfer-ebook-ereader-digital-editions.html
Any ideas?
Thanks

ADE2.0/2.0.1 does not work correctly with Sony ereaders when using Overdrive library books.
v1.7.2 works fine for me with my Sony and library books.
~~~~~~~~~
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.

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.

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?

Hi spdosen,
Please refer the KB : http://www.migear.biz/Downloads/Cant%20see%20device%20in%20Adobe.pdf

Sony PRS-T1

The Adobe Digital Editions software on my PC does not recognize my Sony PRS-T1 reader.
The reader does not appear in the library (as a new line) on the PC.

The back door to go from ADE to Sony Reader PSR-T1
Download book to Digital Editions, close it. Go to My Documents, to My Digital Editions folder--open it. Pick the file of the book you want on your Reader and right click on it--go to open with--choose Reader for PC. The book should open in Reader for PC (you will need to log in)-- click the back arrow. You should be on the home page and the book should show in My Library. Transfer from Reader for PC to the Reader as usual.
I hope this will help you.

Device support for Sony PRS-T1 in 1.8.2?

I installed ADE Preview 1.8.2 (Mac) and it does see my Nook, but not my Sony PRS-T1. Is there some workaround (such as: use Windows, uninstall Reader app, etc.)?
This model is listed on the 'supported devices' page.

Hi Tom Semple,
If you activate your two devices with same account (i.e. Adobe ID), you may transfer your purchased book freely (if permission allows). There is a known issue that ADE still cannot access it with Reader software for Mac installed (Reader for PC works). But you still can try to copy books manually.
Good luck!
Regards,
Derek

Adobe reader for PC using Sony PRS T3--Can not sign in/read books

I bought a Sony PRS T3 that uses Adobe reader for PC(Available from https://ebookstore.sony.com/download)to download pdf books. First to set it up, I installed the software and plugged in the reader. Then I was presented with this screen. Remember I have signed up for two accounts--One sony's e reader store and one adobe account. First I use the sony reader store account as asked:
I use my own email obviously, and then I am presented with a second screen on top of the existing log in screen. I use my Adobe Account here:
After that, I am looped by the same pop up again and again and this keeps on happening despite me putting the right password AND checking the credentials to see if they work on adobe's site(yes they do). I am presented with no errors, just that login pop up again and again:
Please help me solve this problem and the sad part is I am already past the 30 day refund period and I opened the reader today. Thanks in advance.

This is the view of myself and many others... from what I am reading on the forums this app sucks... is horrid... does not work.
I used the Reader Library app since I got my ebook from sony over a year ago never had real bad issures with it till now.. I look for updates and find this one only to have it hang my computer for such long periods of time... i have a quad core desktop with fairly new hardrives and lots of memory , in fact we use it to online game with heavy user apps..
I try to use this new Reader app and it has to be the worst i have tried .. i even tried a few others when i started having such problems with your app. Others run fine. but can not read my DRM books.. truly sad..
Whoever wrote this needs a new job.. never writing software again.
this sounds harsh but you are running away customers ... big time.
or do you think you will keep them cause of your name... Nope.. people will mover to what ever is easiest to use. this is not supposed to be diffucult.. but your company is making it so.
REmember .. KISS is the base of all systems that work and advance.
your original Reader Library program did that it worked and you didn't need a degree to run it.
Someone in your company does need to get this info and get a soultion or you will loose more customers.. I will not recomend this product at this time or until you get it right. I have promoted your products in the past 20+ yrs. but if this is how you treat loyalty for get us.
