Authorizing Adobe Digital Editions
To download DRM-protected ebooks to your computer and transfer them to compatible ereaders, you'll need to install and authorize Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
A buddy of mine recently bought a Mac to use alongside his Windows desktop and after spending a couple of hours with him demonstrating some of the key differences between Windows and Mac OS, it. The syncing issue should now be resolved. To check the sync status, click the cloud icon at the upper-right corner. Syncing appears to be stuck. Sync status shows no changes, even though you've waited for a sufficiently long time for the sync progress to update. (Operating system: Windows, macOS).
To download the same ebooks to additional computers or devices, be sure to authorize each one with the same OverDrive account or Adobe ID. You can authorize up to six devices with one account.
If you plan to use ADE and the OverDrive app, we encourage you to use your OverDrive account to authorize ADE. That way, you won't run into authorization issues when you download the same ebooks on your mobile device and on your computer.
Use the steps below to authorize ADE.
Note: You won't be able to authorize ADE with a library card.

Sometimes, clearing your authorization can fix transfer or download trouble as well.
Note: When you clear your authorization, any ebooks you previously downloaded to ADE will no longer work, because they're tied to the authorization you used to download them.
Use the steps below to deauthorize ADE.
The next time you try to download a borrowed library book, you'll be prompted to authorize ADE again.
