'E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN - Failed to write destination file' from a Mac to Kobo Clara HD

Hi,

 

I downloaded a library ebook and attempted to sideload it onto my kobo clara hd using adobe digital additions version 4.5.11.187245 on my Mac. But when I attempt to do this (also happens for the sample books) I get the error E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN -Failed to write destination file. I have tried reauthorizing both computer and ebook. Ensured they are using the same name. So does anyone know how to fix this?

 

thanks

Hi, did you find the solution for this? I'm running into exactly the same issue, also digital editions 4.5.11 and a kobo clara HD. The issues occurs with any ebook (tried loaning one from public library, and downloading a free epub - same issue).

Hey, when doing this from a Windows machine I had no issues. I'm now thinking this has to do with the company policy that is on my mac: it prevents me probably from moving files to any external device.
