Thank you, Thank you , Thank you...I have been trying for two days to get this info.  I just followed what you said and it authorized everything and I am now reading the book I borrowed form my public library.

Happy Reading...

help; have same problem with nook not being recognized on ADE.  how did you find the file to delete on nook.

I plugged Nook into my laptop and found it in my computer

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?

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.

Is your Nook attached to your computer?

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

Now I have to show my husband how to download e-books from the library and get them on the nook....only took me a couple of hours to figure it out.  He would have thrown the nook away long before that!!

And I agree...it is wonderful when the light clicks and everthing works.

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! 

Corey,leeane - I'm having the same problem! I deleted the folder/restarted the computer/restarted

the nook I've done it all. I'm about ready to call it quits and return the thing. I'm on a PC but have the same problems. It happened overnight and now my nook doesn't

recogonize any of my library books and ADE doesn't recgonize my nook!

Corey.Leann - Call Barnes and Noble customer service center. 1-800.the-book option 2. What you have to do is reset your nook to the factory setting via pushing the power button and holding it for 12 seconds then repeating 6 times.This take the nook to the origial software and you have to start from the begining. It worked for me.

ONCE you delete the digitial editions folder ADE will no longer recgonize the nook. It is better to keep the file on there that says   adobe.digita;.editions (or whatever) and change it to 'old".

Best of luck!

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!!

Thanks Tom for your fantastic post to this forum,

I called Barnes & Noble for Nook support and they said it wasn't their issue and to call Adobe. I spoke with Mark at his desk in the middle-east I'm sure and he told me to go this forum.

Quite disgusted Barnes & Noble was no assistance. Yesterday at Borders from whom I purchased an ePub spent at least an hour with me trying to make a product that wasn't theirs work. I'll be going to Borders again today to show them how to make books purchased from them work on Barnes & Nobles Nook.

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!

I had authorized my Nook when I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions but for some reason Nook never appeared on my ADE bookshelf, but my book on ADE appeared on my nook on the computer, just not on the nook itself.  I deleted ADE from my nook menu on the computer and tried again but nothing.  Turns out I hadn't ejected and safely removed the nook, just unplugged in and reconnected to the computer.  When I ejected and reconnected, I was now prompted to authorize the Nook.  I did, and was able to transfer my library book to it.  Now I am happy.  Bought the Nook to read library books, not to pay for them all. Thank you.  Adobe chat told me that ADE was free and they wouldn't help me, just gave me the link to the forum and told me to go find the solution.  I had tried that for an hour.  They do have a point, though. You get what you pay for.

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?

Thanks!! This fixed my problem, too!  I spent over an hour researching a fix for this problem. Yay!
