de-authorize and re-authorize sony software
i am currently experiencing a problem with the sony software. every button i press on the left hand side (except audio) states:
Unable to locate the file. This item has been moved, renamed, or deleted i did move my books to another folder specifically for sony books, dumb, i know. i was going to uninstall the program but my laptop warned me to de-authorize my computer before i proceed. 1. if i de-authorize my pc, can i re-authorize it after a re-install (as well as my 505)? 2. should i place my books back into its original folder and everything will be okay? and what folder was it because i cant remember?

I don't suggest de-authorizing. Can you move the books back?
I don't use the Sony software at all, so I'm not sure how to deal with problems with it--but at worst, you should be able to reload the books into it; the problem should just be that the database is looking in a location that's now empty. |

Sorry, Elfwreck, but I'd suggest deauthorizing, uninstalling then reinstalling and reauthorizing - it's not a one-time deal to authorize anything - the problem comes if you uninstall without unauthorizing.

Will unauthorizing make the current books unreadable?

Delete all the book entries in Ebook Library because the file path is no longer accurate because you've moved the books somewhere else.
Then try using the file menu to reimport your books from the new location that you moved them to. (Click on File/import folder to reimport them en masse.) |
