TroubleshootingApril 12, 2023

1. Some common problems:

- Is all of your software up-to-date (iTunes, Windows Media Player, iPod/iPhone software, apps, etc…)?

2. eAudiobooks

- Can’t download? Did you perform the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade?- Can’t transfer to an iPod? Did you set your iPod to “Manually Manage Music”?- Can’t find your book? Check under “Music” instead of Audiobooks (common after transfer with MP3 books –

instructions on changing the files to an audiobook are included in your instruction)

3. eBooks

- Can’t transfer books? Did you register your device with the same information that you used to register your Adobe Digital Editions?

- Software is not working with your device? Do you have a Sony Reader? Don’t bother with Adobe Digital Editions – the books will work perfectly with your Sony Software.

- Is there a lot of blank space every 2-3 pages of your book? Check to see if it is a PDF book. ePub books have reflowable text and when you increase the font, they’ll adjust accordingly. PDF books don’t have that ability, so if you increase the font size, you’ll get blank space every 2-3 pages.

eBooks – Navigation

1. Navigating Adobe Digital Editions
