Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 6 Download
Tam Enke
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.15 (Catalina) Adobe Digital Editions will not allow me to open books downloaded from the public library. Error message insists that the "device is not authorized". I have followed all the instructions from the ereader manufacturer (Kobo) on "re-setting" the device, de-authorizing and re-authorizing the device and still the same problem.
I'm on Mac Catalina, using Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 to manage library books on my Kobo Aura. I began getting the "you aren't authorized" message suddenly after being able to use ADE 4.5 successfully with Catalina for a few weeks.
I tried all the device deauthorizing/reauthorizing/ADE uninstall/ADE reinstall/factory reset suggestions and nothing worked UNTIL I tried deleting some of my old e-book files I no longer wanted (stored in Documents/Digital Editions). Next I renamed the Digital Editions folder, and as suggested by another Kobo user, went to the library site and downloaded a random book I'd never downloaded before. That book opened perfectly on my Kobo, as did all the books that previously hadn't opened because of the authorization glitch.
J'ai un problème du même genre. Depuis la mise à jour MacOS 10.15.2 Catilina sur mon MacBook Air, un livre acheté aux éditions Le Robert disparaît d'Adobe Digital Editions chaque fois que je ferme le logiciel (l'option "ajouter à la biblotèque" ou "copier dans ma bibliothèque"est en grisé et donc inacessible) : je dois donc le retélécharger chaque fois, ce qui suppose d'avoir une connexion Internet à ce moment-là, mais surtout je perds tous les signets que j'ai mis sur ce livre et qui me sont primordiaux car c'est dans le cadre d'un travail.
Hello,
I have a similar problem. Since the MacOS 10.15.2 Catilina update on my MacBook Air, a book bought from Le Robert editions disappears from Adobe Digital Editions each time I close the software (the option "add to the library" or "copy to my library "is grayed out and therefore inaccessible): I must therefore redownload it each time, which implies having an Internet connection at that time, but above all I lose all the bookmarks that I put on this book and which me are essential because it is within the framework of a work.
Robert cannot help me and refers me to the Abode service, which is unreachable on the phone (hours to wait in vain online). Anyone have a solution? thank you in advance
I had previously spent countless frustrated hours, on just about all the other suggested solutions (including uninstalling ADE, deregistering devices, wiping, deauthorizing, reauthorizing, removing hidden files/dirs, synching accounts, reinstalling, every solution out there - even went so far as completly wiping my nook) all to no avail. I was to the point of 'OK I'll give up on my Nook. I'll buy a kindle, I'll just buy paperchecks, I'm done I give in'.
Running Cataline w/ ADE 4.5.11 and an old nook glowlight. For the 'old title' I just sorted the 'Available Now' titles by 'Date Added' and chose the last page of titles available ( which was 'Crusader Gold' by David Gibbins - which I feel obligated to read now). The thinking behind the solution is that somehow the DRM, or the way it's being applied *by the ibraries/overdrive*, has changed by date - and intially loading an 'old title' seems to reolve the issue ( at least it did so for me after many.many hours on trying other solutions). ( Hard to believe I know, YMMMV)

I have just got a new laptop (an LG Gram) with an 11th gen i5 using the Iris integrated GPU and Windows 11. When I try to read an epub book with Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 and 2.0 (both versions show the same problem) the page does not refresh when I move to the next page. That is, the book opens fine and displays the last page read, but when I press PgDn or click the "next page" icon the text doesn't change.
I've tried this on another laptop with an 8th gen i5 running Windows 11 and Digital Editions works fine on that laptop. This suggests it isn't a Windows 11 compatibility problem, so I wonder if it's the Iris graphics in the 11th gen CPU. Unfortunately I don't have an 11th gen laptop running Windows 10 to check.

I have downloaded and authorized Adobe Digital Edition. I tried versions 2, 3, and 4. I can read the free eBooks from HP Press no problem. The only books I am unable to read are the 3 that I paid for. The only purpose I have Adobe Digital Edition is to read eBooks published by HP Press. When I tired to resolve this issue, I learend that many other people share the same or similar issues as me. The reviews on CNet and other respectable site are accurate. I can access the books on my home computer so if I stay up late or get up early, I can read the books.
I solved it!!! Here is what I did - During lunch, I copied the Digital Editions folder and subfolders from my Mac at home onto a thumb drive. Then, after returning to the office after lunch, I copied the contents of the folder and sub folders on my thumb drive into the "My Digital Editions" folder and apropiate subfolders. It worked!!! I am so happy.
