Problems with German Onleihe, ADE 2.0 and 4.5 and Mac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan
We have been discussing this topic for a while in the German Onleihe User Forum, but nobody seems to be able to resolve it.
As it looks right now, everybody with Mac OS X 10.11.2 (or the latest release of Yoseimte aswell) get the same kind of problem when downloading (fulfilling) epub books from the "Onleihe" (which is the provider for eBooks for most of German libraries): Books are downloaded succecssfully (as it seems), the progress bar advances until the end, but then the application just doesn't do anything more. The only option is to forcefully close ADE. This happens both with ADE 2.0 and 4.5, but apparently not with 1.7.2 (which is outdated and cannot be downloaded officially from Adobe anymore).
We dug into what could be the reason for this failing, and ended up with the Mac OS X security update from mid December; after installing this, is seems that the problems started to occur. We are talking about this one:
Even more favoring this as a reason for failing, a Lion system I have here (Mac OS X 10.7.5) still works, with ADE 2.0.67275.
Checking the logs using "console" in Mac OS X, I see the following:

Apparently something fails, hangs, is fenced off by Mac OS X or whatever... Note that there is no security log message from Mac OS X in the logs (I could see at least).
I hope this is resolved soonish; it's really tedious to have to either use an outdated version of ADE, or dust off a real old and slow computer just to be able to fulfill library books.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Best regards, Martin
