Why can't I return a digital edition book?

I just borrowed my 1st book.  I am now finished and want to return it. When i try and return it I get an error message error message E-BAD_LOAN_ID
When i check HELP I find this error has been around for over a year and some say it is a program error from Adobe.
I need to return my books so need to know what is the correct fix?

The Adobe DRM system which is part of the Overdrive system used by most libraries is somewhat flawed,
and its implementation in ADE2.0 is highly flawed.
It is not suitable for use by computer professionals, let alone by the target audience for eBooks.
One good part of the system is that at the end of the load period books will automatically expire.
This doesn't help if you want to borrow more books and are at your limit, but at least it means you won't be charged for overdue books.
One thing that will help is to make sure that your copy of ADE is properly registered with an Abobe ID.
Don't let it run 'without Adobe ID' (I forget the exact terminology thy use).
If you are already running that way, go to the Abobe site to get a free Adobe ID.
Then completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your new Adobe ID.
That seems simpler at first but least to lots of issues later.
It probably won't help you return the books you have already borrowed, but should help in future.

  • Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    Why can't I install Adobe Digital Editions on my iPad?

    I have the same question.
    IPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.2. I ordered some ebooks that required the download of Adobe Digital Editions. I select the supplied link to the Adobe site, select download, and I am given the option of windows or Mac OS. I wandered through the site and even googled an iOS version with no luck. I thought maybe the Mac OS version might be universal to apple products so I downloaded it and tried to open it in One Note, One Drive, and Google My Drive with no luck. The .dmg file is not recognized. So, I'm back to looking for an iOS version. Is there one?

  • Why can't I conne3ct to digital editions?

    My email is [email protected]  When I put in my password (newly created as of last night), it said error communicating with Adobie ID server.  Try again later.  Someone at At Adobie sent me information by e-mail to change my password, which I did.  It still will not let me in.  This is my first time trying to download library books to my Nook.  Please help!!  June Dunaphant

    You didn't say what your environment is, but I'm guessing that you're
    probably a Windows 7 PC user.  You'll have to set Windows security to let
    you interface with the Adobe website so that you can connect to it.

    How can i print from adobe digital editions?

    Please see FAQ: Printing a PDF file in Windows 8.
    If you are running Windows 8 on a laptop with an Intel-based processor, you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) alternatively.
    Go to your Windows 8 desktop.
    Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ in your browser.
    Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.
    Select File > Print from the menu.

  • Can I read Adobe-Digital-Edition books on my Android device?

    Can I read Adobe-Digital-Edition books on my Android device?

    Yes, You need to install compatible app. 
    Look at Bluefire and Aldiko for general use (including library books) and Overdrive app for library books.
    There are also apps from some of the major booksellers.
    For DRM books you need to make sure you register with the same AdobeID you use on the PC.
    (For non DRM books, don't bother with ADE on any PC, use superior free Calibre instead, or download direct to device.)
    You will need to copy any books using a file manager, not from ADE.

  • Can i leave the adobe digital edition ID, authorized on my PC?

    Can i leave the adobe digital edition ID, authorized on my PC? Will it do someting to the PC if i leave it in authorized mode? Or must i erase it?

    Hi,
    In order to fix the problem you may follow steps as given below.
    Solution 1) 1) Open Digital Editions.
                        2) Connect the Reader
                        5) There you will find a new drive created similar to C or D drive under "My computer".
                        6) Open the Readers Drive and you will find a folder with name "adobe.digital.editions".
                        7) Delete this folder and plug off and re plug in the Reader.
                        8) Authorize Reader from the same Adobe ID which you used to Authorize Adobe Digital Editions.
    ..                  9) Now try to transfer books to your Reader
    Solution 2) Modify the manifest.xml file located in C:\Usres\Username\My Documents\My Digital Editions:
    1) Quit Digital Editions
    2) Make a backup copy of the manifest.xml (call it something like manifest.good)
    3) Open manifest.xml in notepad
    4) It will appears as one big long line of xml, and you are looking for a tag called  start at the begginning of this
        and select until you the end of the tag that looks called </de:deviceID>
    5) If you have attached more than one Reader there may be multiple of these.  Delete all of them to make sure.
    6) Save the file (manifest.xml) and quit out of notepad
    7) Ensure you have the Reader plugged in
    8) Launch Digital Editions
    9) The Device Setup Assitant should come up.
      a) Do NOT click on the "Don't ask again for this device" checkbox.
      b) Do click on the "Authorize Device" button.
    I hope this will help you.
    Regards
    Rizwan

  • Can't authorize computer in Digital Editions 2.0.

    Cant authorize computer in Digital Editions 2.0.  Message hangs at Please wait while your computer is being authorized.  Windows Vista 32  firewire walls disabled.  Tried removing and reinstalling program same issue continued.

    Not sure exactly why you got this issue, but one possible solution (solution to lots of problems) .....
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  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.

  • I can't get my Adobe Digital Edition to open after almost a year with no problems

    I have used Adobe Digital Edition to download books from my library to transfer to my Nook. I started last December and never had a problem. Today I tried to download a book and ADE never opened. I tried to open ADE separately and can't get it to open. I rebooted, no help.  I have a HP Windows 7 machine.  Any ideas? Do I need to re-download ADE? Should I uninstall my current version first? Thanks for any help you can give me.  I am a bit shy to do this, as I have seen foruns talking about user activation issues, and hope to avoid that possibility.

    Well, I seem to be running into problems at every step.
    I made a copy of the Digital editions folder ("My Digital Editions)- under my documents- (with annotations and thumbnails inside) and also made a copy of Manifest.xlm and renamed the folder and the Manifest file.  That folder that had all those items did not have the uninstall .exe in it. It did have a setup.exe file in it. However the uninstall program was in a folder  titled Adobe Digital Editions, which was under Program Files (x86).  In addition to the uninstall file, there is a file named digitaleditions.exe
    After making copies and renaming as you suggested above, I did the uninstall. it ran very quickly and said it was completed. However, nothing was removed from any of my digital edition folders.  The file digitaleditions.exe is still in the folder under Programs (x86), although the uninstall .exe file is gone. I also went to the control panel and did an uninstall of digital editions from there-it was still showing up after I ran the uninstall program. the program now no longer shows up on my list of programs(from the start button, all programs selection), although again the digitaleditions.exe prorgam still shows in the folder.
    I went to adobe to download the program again. When I try to launch the program I get a window asking for my administrator password.  I know it, put it in, but I get an error message about bad password. I know the password is correct because it is the same one I log in with every start up. I only have one password. I then went to the "having trouble downloading" page on the adobe site and followed those instructions.(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html) and followed their uninstall previous versions directions.  The adobe digitaleditions program was not there to uninstall as I had done this earlier. I clicked on the link to manually install, hitting the "run" buttons as instructed.  It seems to download but then nothing happens. I can't seem to get a download from adobe.  I still have all my files in the "my digital editions folder- annotations, thumbnails etc. The set.exe is still there. I also have these copied and renamed in a different directory. And in my Adobe Digital Editions folder, the digitaleditions.exe file is still there. Nothing ever got put in the trash folder. (Note that I tried to download a book from the library and it couldn't fiind ADE.) I tried to download ADE from their webpage and same thing- nothing happens.  Do I need to pay Adobe to let me get this file redownloaded and installed?  There seems to be something stuck.  If you have any more advice I sure would appreciate it.
    thanks
    Ron
