Unable to use Adobe Digital Editions on IMac

I am getting two error messages - one indicating that one or more downloads are not finished and whether I press ok or cancel, I get a message indicating an error getting licence due to server communications problem

E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED can happen if the time or timezone settings of the machine are not correct.
(I think I even saw a comment somewhere that using a 12 hour clock rather than a 24 hour one broke it too,
but that may be a false memory or about some other program.)

  • Unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on Windows 7

    Hi
    My current installation of Windows 7 contains Framework NET 4.0 Full.
    It is up-tp-date with this.
    I'm unable to install ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 on this system, because
    of the prerequisite required to install this packege.
    ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1. requires NET 3.5 on Windows 7 (and this is old/outdated today).
    When will ADOBE Digital Edition 2.0.1 install on Windows 7 with NET 4?
    Any other ideas to get this up and running?
    Thanx

    You can install the different versions of .NET at the same time, and that is what you need to do for quite a few programs.
    Microsoft don't make them upward compatible.
    You could install the older v1.7.2 instead, much more relaible and I don't think (not sure) it as .NET requirement.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    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.

  • I have a Kobo N416  E-Reader. It is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. I was told that I can use Adobe Digital Editions Desktop App to download book to this Kobo N416 E-Reader . How do I do this ? Thanks

    Question;  How do I download Ebooks to my Kobo N416 e-reader using Adobe Digital Editions App ? I have already tried to get help from Kobo Techs but they say the Kobo N416 E-Reader is no longer supported by Kobo and is outdated. Kobo told me to use Adobe Digital Editions to download the books I bought on Kobo to my Kobo N416 E-Reader. I have already contacted Adobe Digital Editions for help but they could not help me and told me to go to Adobe Forums.

    I didnt't say that our business is using Linux Desktops. I wrote, our main clientele is. And what our customers do like to use is something we cannot control...
    >What difference does it make to you if Adobe releases a new version of Reader that is not supported on Linux?
    a new Adobe Reader version that's supported on Linux would be nice. a dialogue between Adobe and Linux developers would be nice...
    >As long as the old versions can open the files correctly, that's all that matters, no?
    No, not if our staff is trained to use the newest Adobe Acrobat (trainings are usually for the newest versions) and uses that to produce forms. Now the files open correctly. But what will be in some months or years? Do people working on Linux do have to print the forms then again to fill in?
    So do you recommend that we stop the process of producing electronic forms and stay with paper-fill-in forms? Is that the goal of Adobe? (maybe not so clever for your "financial viability"?!?!? ... ein schuss ins eigene bein?!?!)
    >Adobe is a public company and therefore it's not going to maintain a version of its software at great cost if it's not financially viable. It's as simple as that...
    So it is to be interpreted that Adobe is interested in killing Linux cause if users cannot work with let's say forms, they will have to switch to something that can do that for them...
    We definitely don't want to force Windows or Mac on our clientele. So as far as I get it, we will go back to paper forms and terminate our licence agreements with Adobe and deinstall it...

    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.

  • 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.

  • Problem copying Epub files to Sony 505 for library ebooks using Adobe Digital Editions.

    I am using Adobe Digital Editions to copy library ebooks to my Sony 505 using a Vista Home Premium 64 bit machine.
    Adobe PDF files successfully copy and are readable.
    However, when a subsequent copy is done for any Epub book from the library the previously copied PDF files change
    to proprietary on the 505. They are unreadable and show as one page long.  The Epub book is the only library book that is
    now readable.
    I have all of the latest software on the PC (it is only one month old) and the latest firmware on the Sony 505.
    I have also reformatted my internal memory on the Sony 505, but this did not have any affect.
    Any suggestions?

    You could have the issue whereby .acsm files do not get properly registered.
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1213041?tstart=0
    One solution to may issues with ADE2.0 is to use the more reliable v1.7.2,
    Try that and see if it helps.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Acsm files will not open in Adobe Digital Editions on iMac 10.7.2. I can still open them successfully on my Dell PC.

    Mid November I purchased an iMac Lion and downloaded Adobe Digital editions for Macs. The download went smoothly but I cannot get the ebooks from my library to open in Adobe Digital Editions. I still have my Dell PC and can (and unfortunately still have to) download the ebooks into ADE and from there to iTunes and onto my iPad. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ADE and it doesn't appear to be the problem. The downloaded ascm books appear to be in the top right corner of the toolbar but just will not open in ADE. ADE is supposed to open automatically with the book download, and does on the PC, but not on the iMac. I've even tried dragging and dropping the files into ADE but nothing works. Does anyone have the solution? Thank you.

    macbook Pro
    OS X Yosemite
    files are saved on my desktop and also on a external back up drive .
    printer is working fine .. all my ai files open as long as i open with Adobe illustrator C (17.1) and not the newest update  see screen shot below

  • I can't use Adobe Digital Edition on desktop 2 or 3 (not active)... it haunts me!

    After installing the improved security available for today (HT5281and HT5282), Adobe Digital Edition is not kept in the desktop where I move to use, always returns to the main desktop (Number 1) or go by it self to the active desktop, is a persecution!
    I use version 1.7.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.4
    Anyone know how to maintain it in the desired desktop?.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your %APPDATA% environment variable is obviously corrupt; see this article on how to fix it:

    N.B. do not attempt to modify the registry without backing it up first; ERUNT is a good registry backup tool.  You can also create a System Restore Point, which will contain a registry backup.

  • Unable to access Adobe Digital Editions from my tablet

    I recently installed Adobe Digital Editions on my pc to enable me to downloan an eBook from a publisher. I now wish to download the same eBook onto my Samsung tablet, but do not know how to install the Adobe ID onto that tablet. Any advice?    Stuart208

    You need to install a compatible third party app that can read Adobe drm books.
    Try Bluefire or Aldiko.  http://www.bluefirereader.com/  http://www.aldiko.com/
    You then transfer the book by copying using a file manager (eg Windows Explorer, Mac Finder) to the mounted drive.
    (With dedicated eReader devices you can usually transfer from ADE, but not with tablet devices with eReader app)

    When I try to down load book from e library and we go to Adobe Digital Edition 4.0, , instead of downloading the book, I get the error (error check activation).  Both the computer and the KOBO have be authorized to account ([email protected])

    If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:

    Now Authorize ADE again.
    Windows:
    Choose Start > Run.
    In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.
    In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.
    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
    Your authorization will be deleted.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.

    I just downloaded a book to Adobe Digital Editions but am unable to pass pages on horizontally. I can only scroll up/down. How could I pass pages horizontally as I read on?
