When updating Adobe Reader are all piggyback software programs (like the current Google inclusion) clearly identified as an optional choice? I have found many program providers have put things in their updates without asking.
Adobe Reader piggyback programs
Re: Adobe Reader piggyback programs
This is the Digital Editions subforum; try the Adobe Reader one.
At least Adobe haven't dropped to the level of Oracle and started installing rogue taskbars for those that don't look at every install detail.
Authorize kobo glo
I have a new kobo and when I try to authorize the device in ADE I am not able to use that option - it is gray instead of black (if you know what I mean). Please help!
Re: Authorize kobo glo
It also says that I have too many activations when I try to copy a book onto the ereader. How do I get rid of some activations if this is the problem?

eReader Nook HD
Re: Linking files
Thanks, i have done it so.
Digital Editions Authorization Won't Pull Up
Hello,
I can't get the authorization window to pull up on my computer. I've tried reinstalling the digital editions multiple times, and nothing helps. I'm running Windows 7. Can someone assist?
How do I resolve authorization failure on ADE please?
How do I resolve authorization failure on ADE please?
I work on windows 8 64 bit and error message keeps telling me to check whether I'm connected to the internet.
Re: How do I resolve authorization failure on ADE please?
Three suggestions ...
1) ~~~~~~~
Doublecheck your firewall. Maybe try with firewall (temporarily) turned off.
2) ~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
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.
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. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
3) ~~~~~~~~~
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.

Re: Nook
Does the Nook show up on your file manager (Windows Explorer, Mac Finder) as a mounted drive?
If not, the problem is before you even get near to ADE. Check the Nook hardware and your USB connection.
If so, first se http://help.overdrive.com/article/0047/What-to-do-if-your-NOOK-is-not- detected-by-Adobe-Digital-Editions
then try v1.7.2 as above.
Re: Authorize kobo glo
Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html,
or as a slight short cut try http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=digital-editions&topic=usi ng-my-product-or-service
Click on 'I still need help' and then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.
'Ask our experts' will indeed just lead you back to this forum.
Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
(Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) . Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.
Authorization problem
Cuando intento leer un libro aparece una ventana que indica "Autorizando", pero la operación no se concreta nunca. No puedo abrir ningún e-book, ni los que ofrece gratuitamente el sitio de Adobe.
highlighting
How do I highlight excerpts in Adobe Digital Edition? When I click on reading the highlight function is grayed out.
Kindle Paperwhite
Adobe Digital Editions list of approved e-readers does not include Kindles. Any way to transfer files downloaded on Mac to Kindle Paperwhite?
Re: Kindle Paperwhite
Not Adobe DRM files. Amazon sells the Kindle cheap so it can force up sales of its properietry eBooks.
It should read non-DRM .epub files, or you can convert them to Kindle format using a program such as Calibre.
Re: highlighting
If you select some text first, then the Highlight (ctrl-M) should become active again.
Re: Kindle Paperwhite
I must disagree since lots of FREE books are available in Kindle format with Overdrive download from my county library. I find Adobe guilty or arrogance and greed more so than Amazon.
Re: Authorization problem
Dos posibles soluciones ...
1 ) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A veces ADE consigue su registro / activación confundido y en un estado semi - autorizada.
Desinstalación y reinstalación no ayuda.
Por desgracia , a menudo se da mensajes de error engañosos acerca de lo que está mal.
Un mensaje incorrecto común le informa que el ID ya está en uso en otro equipo y no se puede volver a utilizar.
A menudo, esto se puede resolver mediante la eliminación total de cualquier autorización utilizando ctrl- shift- D a la pantalla Biblioteca de ADE ( Cmd -Shift- D si el Mac) .
Reiniciar ADE y , a continuación, volver a autorizar con su (antiguo) Adobe ID .
En casos extremos en el mac, el siguiente paso adicional ha ayudado a algunas personas . Vaya a / Users / / Library / Application / Adobe / Digital Editions Soporte y arrastre el archivo activation.dat a la basura. Si usted está usando 10.7 , consulte Acceso a los archivos ocultos de la biblioteca de usuarios | Mac OS 10.7 Lion . http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
2 ) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hay un montón de errores en ADE2.0 (y 2.0.1) . Trate de reemplazar ADE2.0 con el más viejo, pero más fiable v1.7.2 .
( Usted puede tener ambos instalados a la vez si lo desea. )
Versión 1.7.2 , es un poco difícil de encontrar, disponible en el sitio de Adobe para Windows y para Mac .
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editio ns.html
El software del foro a veces se corrompe el enlace anterior . No debe haber un espacio en blanco en ' editio ns.html ' . Los siguientes redirige a la misma página : http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Algunas personas han encontrado ADE intentar actualizar de forma automática.
Al parecer (no 100 % seguro ) que si instala ADE2.0 como una nueva instalación ( no como una actualización) que el 1.7.2 continuará funcionando .
Probablemente es mejor decir que no si la instalación 2.0.x le preguntará si desea migrar la biblioteca.

Re: ADE problems
Well, it seems ADE is an equal opportunity screw-up: if I get a "can't connect with fullfillment server" message using Firefox to return a title, early, from the open library, I can sometimes circumvent the problem by using IE to re-download the title, then return it early. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the ADE errors that pop up. Sometimes using IE to download or return a title doesn't work either. Sometimes ADE works as advertised, other times it doesn't. It's a game of chance and frustrating beyond belief for a piece of software that has so many users (?).
