You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

How do I resolve this warning?

Something to try --
Use a different Adobe ID to "authorize" the computer.
Or, remove existing authorization associated with the Adobe ID from one computer / device.
Be well...

We had ADE on a system whose hard drive was dying and becomming unusable. I replace the old hard drive with a new one and resinstalled everything. I was able to extract the My Digital Editions Folder from the original drive and copied it to the new drive. I then installed the latest ADE. When we attempt to authorize the new ADE install on the new harddrive we see the dreaded "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn’t previously been used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices.

How can we get back running on the new disk?

I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

Infopath submit - how to hide - Save as dialog box - You can only save this file to the current site

HI,
I have a infopath form. In the submit options, i have used the below:
submit options -
sharepoint document library
Data connection - Sharepoint Library Submit
Doc library - lib location
File name: concat("User Info - ", ResourceName, "-", PersonalID)
Allow overwrite if file exists is checked.
When I try to save a record, I am getting a popup:
Save As:
You can only save this file to the current site
File Name: textbox
save location: doc lib.
save, cancel buttons.
How to override this save as option(save as option should not be shown to user), and save the file using the file name mentioned?
Thanks

Are you clicking "Save" when you're using the form or "Submit"??
You should be using "Submit" and it will ... submit your form to the document library with the file name you specified.
To disable the "Save" button, click on "File" then "Form Options". Under the "Filler Features" area you can uncheck the box beside "Save and Save As". Click OK then re-publish your form.

Make a appointment with the Genius Bar at apple. If it is still under the 1 yr warranty it will be replaced free of charge. Or if you have AppleCare you should be covered.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I'm not aware of any application that will allow this. Most applications won't launch until after you login (which would include any utility that could do this). I'm not sure how much use there would be for something like this. For obvious reasons, a spoken password isn't particularly secure. I would imagine a blind person using a computer would still be able to manually enter a password. I would make sense for folks with other types of disabilities I suppose... so long as there isn't anyone around whenever they use their password.

HT4009 I purchased the postcode search for Navigon, but now it just keeps telling me: "You can't purchase This item With This Account, You must purchase the app that this item is for before you can purchase the item". I PURCHASED NAVIGON 2 YEARS AGO!

As said, I already purchased Navigon when it first came out. Since Garmin took over this app is worthless. Not only have I lost all my settings, but none of my in-App purchases work and I can't even enable them because my iPhone tells me I need to purchase the App.
I've already tried the following:
Shutting down the App and restarting
Rebooting my phone (hard and soft)
Deleting and Reinstalling the app
Resetting my iPhone
purchasing the InApp Purchase
I'm at a loss what to do and for some reason I can't seem to find anywhere to get support on this from the itunes store.
Anyone got any ideas?

No, I had a similar issue before, but from looking on iTunes reviews, I'm not the only one experiencing this.
I was hoping someone on here would have had similar experience and have some advice on what to do next.

How do I get my music from my IPod back in the library of my new computer, it tells me I can only Sync my IPod with one library but I don't have my old PC anymore?

How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
You can only Sync one library with your IPod?

Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice. Connect the device, do NOT sync. Select File > Transfer Purchases.
This will only transfer iTunes purchases. All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library.

Sharing a photo with iphoto 11 - you can only email to one person?

Hi all - just installed ilife 11 and have been playing around with the sharing within iphoto - but it appears you can only email to one person within iphoto!
Is this correct or am i missing something? All software up to date etc
as ever, many thanks

You can email to more than one person at a time. Sadly though, you are not able to email to groups.
The only way around this would be to use the Mac Mail application.
If for some reason you can only add one email and no more after that there may be an issue with iPhoto. Try fully quitting and restarting as mentioned. If the issue persists then i would try removing the Caches and .plist files, rebooting the computer and then testing again.
/Library/Caches
/System/Library/Caches
~Library/Caches (where '~' denotes your Home folder)
Drag those 3 to the trash and then;
~Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
Move that to the desktop and reboot. Test again and let us know how it looks.
Sincerely
JD

Adobe ID error must use "Adobe ID that hasn't previously been used to authorize any other computer"

I am doing some testing and screenshots for my public library right now. After upgrading from ADE 1.7 to 2.0 on an authorized machine, I pressed CTRL + SHIFT + D in order to deauthorize. I then attempted to add the exact same Adobe ID to the computer and a get this error message.
"You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn’t previously been used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again."
This is bizzare and goes against my understanding of ADE. In 1.7, you could use the same Adobe ID on any combination of (6) device. This seems to be suggesting that my Adobe ID must be original each time one authorizes. My questions are:
Does this really mean one needs to make a new Adobe ID every time you use CTRL + SHIFT + D?
What happens to hold DRM ebooks on your computer that were tied to the Adobe ID that ADE 2.0 won't accept?
If anyone has any insights on this, I'd love to hear them.

No. You previously authorized the computer anonymously, and you can only 'upgrade' an anonymous user to one that hasn't been used before.
You can either de-authorize the anonymous user (and lose all access to content tied to that user), or you can use a brand new AdobeID that hasn't been used for ebooks before.
If you just activated anonymously by mistake and don't have any content yet, you most likely want to deactivate and start again.

You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device
