I have followed all the procedures for registering my nook with B&N and I also have downloaded ADE and established an Adobe ID the same as my nook's ID. Everyplace I read I am suppose to be able to open ADE and then plug in my nook and ADE is suppose to recognize it and allow me to authorize it. I have had no luck as ADE does not recognize my nook when I plug it into to the computer and I can't find any suggestions on how to correct this. Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do.

Thanks

tom

Thank you Thank you!!

B&N had to replace my nook (due to the dreded cracked page turning button), and my original device had been authorized on ADE. When I plugged in the new one I could not figure out why I was not getting that prompt from the application.

Tried to have a live chat with some one on the adobe team and they referred me to call tech support, then I saw that there was a forum and just knew I would find that answer there and voila, first thread!

Happy Reading to you all!

Tom,

You are a genius, I have been working on this issue for the last three days. I read your post earlier today, had to take a break or I was going to chuck it out the window. I also had the issue with the Sony ereader already logged as my digital library, however your tips helped me through it. I was NOT going to give up my nook, as I hated my sony ereader. I have finally mastered the borrowing from the library and I can't thank you enought. Now, I just have to wait for all the books I put on hold to become available. Thanks again Tom, I owe you my sanity!!

To all having problems with authorizing your nook IF YOU ARE USING A MAC

I was pulling my hair out, especially when people said to delete the file and then ADE would quickly recognize the nook and authorize it.

I DIDN'T HAVE A FILE TO DELETE!!

THEN:

This is how I corrected the problem:

I have a mac, and was having difficulty. There was no Digital Editions folder on my nook (at least viewable on my Mac).

I plugged my nook into a windows xp pc, and lo and behold, there was a file on my nook something like: .adobe.digital.editions.

I deleted this file and then plugged my nook back into my Mac.

THEN, ADE recognized my nook and authorized it, and now I'm good to go!!

SO IF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM GETTING ADE TO RECOGNIZE/AUTHORIZE YOUR NOOK AND YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM, FIND A WINDOWS MACHINE, PLUG IT IN, AND IF THERE IS A FILE THERE TO DELETE AS SUGGESTED IN ABOVE POSTS, DELETE IT. THEN GO BACK TO YOUR MAC AND TRY AGAIN. WORKED FOR ME!!

I'm on a Mac and used my husband's computer running Windows Vista to find and delete the .adobe.digital.editions file. But when I reconnected to my Mac, ADE still won't recognize my Nook, even though it mounts on the desktop just fine.

Anything else I can try?

I'm having the same problem, but I can't find the file on my nook. I restarted my computer, deleted and re-downloaded the program, reset my nook...everything...and it still wont recognize my nook. I have a mac, and when i open it up in the finder I don't see any adobe files or folders. Any ideas?

To CoreyJeann - - do you mean that you can't find the book on your Nook that was supposed to be downloaded to your Nook? If this is what you're referring, try this

Tap on My Library. If it doesn't automatically come up to My B& N Library, tap "View My B&N Library."

Then tap "Check for New B&N Content." It should show up in your B&N Library fairly quickly.

Hope that helps!

No, it won't find my nook. When I start up the program and plug my nook in, no nook appears on the bookshelf. I've checked for the extra adobe file talked about earlier, but its not there. HELP!!!! I'm about to cry, pull my hair out, or throw a piece of electronic equipment at the wall...

I have dragged the library book and dropped it in the nook library. Now how do I "find" it on the nook so I can open it and read it?

When I look in the "library" on the nook, all I see is the B&N library.

When I plug the nook into the computer I can see the library book on the nook drive on the computer.

Thanks! poked around in forums some more and I found out I need to drag the e-book from the library out of the digital folder and put it in the my documents folder. It does not go there directly. Then I can open it.

Now...I have to explain this whole process to my husband since it is his nook!

Thanks again

OK, I followed all the instructions below. Adobe Digital Edition has authorized/recognized the nook.

Now...how do I actually transfer the borrowed book from the library onto the nook?

The nook should appear as a "bookshelf" in adobe editions.

(Open adobe editions and then hook nook to computer)

Drag and drop book into the nook bookshelf. Book will copy to nook.

I've opened ADE

and see a copy of the book I've downloaded from my local library. But I don't see

anything on my bookshelf that says "Nook". Any suggestions?

ETA: Sorry, just figured it out by clicking on the little books in the upper left corner.

Yeah, it worked. I deleted the Adobe file that was preinstalled on my nook. I plugged it in again and it authorized it.

Attach your nook to your computer and it should show up in Windows explorer as another disk drive (I think it even says nook). When you highlight it in windows explorer you should see all the folders and files.

Before you disconnect it be sure to right click on the nook drive and select eject.

Hope that helps - email me if you have more qyestions.

I figured it out!! I'll explain what I know in case someone else experiences this.

I first downloaded the ADE software before I had an Adobe ID. I set up the ID when installing the software and made it the same as my nook ID. I tried the authorization process described in my initial post but nothing happened to my knowledge. I had read somewhre you need to have an Adobe ID before downloading the software so I deleted ADE from my computer and tried again - no luck.

In my search for help I read that when ADE authorizes a nook it sets up several folders on the device. When I looked at the folders on my nook one of the folders was already there - I assumed it came with the nook but it apparently got established when I first tried to authorize the nook. For whatever reason as mentioned above that initial attempt did not work.

Then I decided to delete the folder (adobe.digital.edtions-not sure of exact title) from my nook and then try the process of opening the ADE software and then pluging in my nook and it worked!! The ADE software recognized my device and authorized it. I have since successfully transferred several books I have borrowed from the online public library to my nook.

Again just posting this in case someone else happens to make the same mistaked I did. Hope it helps.

Thank you so much! It worked for me after I deleted the file as well! I've been trying for about an hour to get it to work and finally found your post! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Happy Reading...
