    Some of our web services did experience difficulties for a few hours yesterday.  The issue was quickly resolved though.  Are you still experiencing problems?

    It's doing this same thing today for my iPod Touch.

    Is this a common problem with Adobe?

    I'm getting the same error today on my IPhone. Looks like it's been more then a couple hours (since 12/23) has anyone found a solution to this?

    I think you  need to repost in the Digital Editons forum. What I can add to the discussion is that I was able to activate Overdrive on my iPhone last night after 10 PM EST.

    The activation server is back up so the error 256 would seem to be related to something else.  As Michael mentioned I would recommend you post your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.

    Our activation server is temparily unavailable.  I would recommend trying again in a couple of hours.
