E_ACT_NOT_READY Authorisation problem

Hi,

For several months now I haven't been able to use Digital Editions on my Macbook Pro as every time I try to open a downloaded book in the programme, a message appears saying 'E_ACT_NOT_READY'. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the programme several times which has never worked. I've also tried deauthorising my account, but each time it says 'Unable to eraze authorisation. Please try again later'.

Any suggestions?
