Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 crashing on Mac

I have a Macintosh running Mavericks, 10.9.5 and was running Adobe Digital Editions 2 happily and then made the major error of trying to "update" to Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 -- and the installer crashed. Now when I try to run Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.2 it just crashes, and restoring Adobe Digital Editions 2 from Time Machine gives me an app that does not open.

Any advice other than never trying to use Adobe Digital Editions again, and remembering Adobe as a company that does not support it's products?

    Correct answer Twas2b

    With more details: I found an answer to a similar question on the Forum from TTWTT (TTMTT), who posted a link to download versions 2 and 3 of Digital Editions at Adobe Digital Editions downloads (Adobe Digital Editions downloads). I had tried find these downloads on Adobe's far from helpful website with total lack of success. Version 3 seems to be working.

    Whether Adobe is working is a totally different question.

    So far it appears that Adobe Digital Editions 4.02 is a disaster, best avoided.

    My thanks to TTMTT, and if I could give credit for a correct answer I would.

    Hi Small Town Gal and Everyone,

    when de-installing Version 4 and then installing the old version on my mac - do I then need to re-register the computer? And if so, do you know if  that  means that my number of allowed registered devices is going down for me?

    Thanks!!


    Dear Kedderle,

    I didn't have to reregister my computer for the reinstall of Version 3 after trashing Version 4  -- in fact, I don't ever remember registering my computer for any Adobe Digital editions installations in the first place because it is a free download available to all and I don't think that it has to be registered.  Hope this helps.
