Why do we have to go through flash players to download DE?

Okay So after my acrobat reader 8 digital editions fail with an error message, I have to delete everything and just to be on the safe side, reinstall with a acrobat reader 7
After getting countless error messages "failing to autenticate" when i try to download the flash player 9, i have to resort to downloading the archived flash player version 8.
Then when i get into digital editions page and through the flash player download the digital editions, i get the message "download error"?
What kind of crappy service are you guys running here?
Do you idiots ever have the basic intelligence to at least make sure that one can at least download the digital editions without going through the flash players?

I am having the same issue. I purchased an ebook knowing I had adobe on my computer. The book needs the digital edition to run and for some unknown to me reason flash doesn't work on my internet explorer and I've tried on netscape where flash works but the download stalls and I don't know if its actually doing anything or not. No security warnings pop up or anything. I've been trying for hours to get it to work...and now thinking I wasted the money on my book. I run vista on a new computer and cannot download the Digital Edition and no clue how to make it work. Is there a way to download it manually onto my desktop where I can install it from there?? skipping flash and java and all that stuff totally? I've been looking and haven'tt found it.
Thanks.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • Why cant i download music in the Uk the same time as the USA why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to download music when other countries can download it straight away?

    #itunes store. Why cant i download music in the UK the same time as in the USA? Why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to downloand music when other fans can dowload music in other coutries when it is released in the US?

    Itunes can only provide what the owners of the distribution rights to the music provide.
    If the owner of the rights do not provide it, then itunes cannot sell it.
    You would have to ask the owners of the distribution rights in each country why they do not provide them at the same time.

  • Why do i have to always update flash player before i can preview page in a browser?

    everytime i load a swf file into dwcs6, i need to update my flash player before i can use it?  Why?  how do i get round this so i dont have to update all the time?
    thanks

    Umm... don't use Flash?
    It's a dead web technology.  The world's most popular web devices don't support it (iOS, Androids, etc...)  IMO, you would be doing yourself and your site a visitors a huge favor if you moved to HTML5 video.

  • Why do I have to go through diagnostics to get my wifi network to kick in?  System preferences won't remember my network!!!

    Every time I take my mac out of sleep mode I have to go to dianostics in the system preferences to get my wireless router to give me my internet. WiFi shows it is on but after that nothing.  I can't seem to have my network be remembered.  What am I doing wrong.  It never happened until I switched to mountain lion.

  • Why do i have to re-install Flash player each time I shut off my computer?

    Anytime I want to watch a video on the internet it says I must install a flash player so I go on line and download Adobe Flash player. But once I shut my computer down the flash player goes away.

    Try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
    Download the installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
    If the problem persists, run the uninstaller again, then try fixing the permissions on your system: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370

  • Please CANCEL my creative cloud photography account. WHY do I have to jump through hopes like this to cancel.

    I do not need a discussion I want to Cancel my account!

    I never got the 5 pop up for cancelling. Turns out I was forced to call to be told Adobe would not cancel my month to month membership without charging a penalty. I already uninstalled all cloud since they weren't working properly and consistently.
    Fine Adobe so be it you want to punish a customer for wanting to cancel a SERVICE. I have Adobe suite that is not cloud and cloud will be something I will never consider gain . People should have the right to cancel MONTH to MONTH memberships. I am also switching to other software for my art and photo editing.

  • Why do I have a grey logon screen now after downloading Yosemite ?

    Hi, sorry if this sounds daft but please could anyone tell me why I no longer have my regular login/start up screen when I turn my macbook pro on ? I used to get a small flower icon with my name underneath it that I just had to enter my password into, now, after installing Yosemite, I am presented with a grey/white screen with a torso silhouette and then my name underneath and then space to enter my password.  If I enter my password it oddly starts a bar system loading with an apple icon above it, it then mostly goes to my desktop ( eventually ) but sometimes goes to the original logon screen where I have to enter my password again ???
    I am not certain that Yosemite has installed correctly? if I click the apple logo and "about this mac" - it says I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10 but in my app store account, the download is not listing as done or even waiting to be done ?
    Does anyone have any ideas please ?
    Many thanks

    Hello Armando
    Check out the article below for troubleshooting your issue with the display. There are a few things that can be done, like changing the resolution of the display and also to reset the NVRAM to see if that resolves that for you.

  • Why do I have to enter all security info to download a free app AFTER I enter my ID?

    Downloadinf a FREE equalizer app and enter my Apple ID. The icon appears on my screen, then I'm "told" I have to enter all of my security info for the download to actually occur.
    TextFree assigns me a phone number just by downloading the app; why would a free music EQ require all of my info?

    Ok  I can understand the reason for additional security but the questions!!!!! When was I first kissed, which is my least favoutie car, what was the first album I owned.   I have no idea  yet I'm required to enter answers for storage and recall later.
    I suppose people are sad enough to remember all this - my password app is bulging already
    Why not allow people to add their own questions from their associated Mac
    Yes i can put fictitious answers on the iphone but i'm less likely to remember these

  • Why do we have to pay to upgrade, just to download the latest version of I-Tunes, when u can do it free on a P.C

    Why is it we have to go to the trouble of paying for and upgrading the OS version, i currently have 10.4.11, just to download the latest I-Tunes onto my Mac. We have a P.C running I-Tunes and we can download the latest version without the "upgrade". Our I-phones/I-Touches work on the P.C without a problem.

    Surprisingly enough... I think this is the first time I've seen that question asked.  Apple regularly makes significant changes to the underlying code in their OS when they release new versions.  This sometimes breaks compatibility with earlier versions of software/applications.  This helps to keep the operating system lean and avoids the performance issues which can build up over time with attempting to maintain compatibility with older versions of software.  Microsoft cannot make significant changes to thier underlying code as they need to maintain backwards compatability for quite a few years (mostly to support the vast majority of businesses that run on the Windows platform).  Apple needs to regularly update iTunes in order to address new features/hardware, but it also updates it to be compatible with newer versions of the OS (nearly every update to OS X comes with an update to iTunes).  Unfortunately, sometimes the latest version may no longer be compatible with older versions of the OS.

  • Why do I have to answer security questions before I download an app

    Recently, I've had to fill out a security questionair every time I Download an app, why does this keep coming up? It used to be I could just use my apple ID, why did this change?

    Apple has beefed up security on the App store, either in response to people reporting unauthroized use or in anticipation of unauthorized use. It's simply a step that's been taken to protect your Apple ID and the credit card/gift card balance attached to it.

  • Apple TV Newbie - Why do I have to wait nearly an hour to download an episode?

    I'm pretty technically challenged, and not sure if the problem I'm experiencing can be fixed, but I recently purchased a TV show season from iTunes and it seems to prompt me to wait at least an hour if not more to download each episode. Is this normal or is there something I can do to speed up the process? Can I download the entire season at once or am I forced to wait an hour between watching episodes?

    This is dependent on your network. Check www.speedtest.net
    8mbps is required for instant 1080p, 6mbps for 720P, 3mbps for SD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
    There are other causes but I would check this first.
