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 still getting the error message. I posted on the digital forums and no one has replied. Is there a help / support number to call?

when this happened to me, they said it was because their server was down and that all i needed to do was wait

until they fixed it. It took about 1 day to get it fixed. Just keep trying to get authorized about every hour or so until

they fix the server.

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.
