Can not login into Kobo Desktop app and syncing my device. Need help.
1. I have bought the new Kobo Touch. I went to kobosetup.com to download the application, as onscreen instruction said. The installation of app was perfect, click - click and I'm in it.
2. Kobo Dekstop said, that I need to connect my device. Ok! All went good, app recognized my device, I have entered information for registration and the password. After this a dialog popsup telling something like Application is too old to sync you device, please upgrade to newer version. Strange, but it is the last Kobo Dektop app 2.0.3 3. I unplugged my reader to see if I have registed it. In the account information I can see my email, I can even acces online store. So i gave it a new try. 4. Connected my device again. Tried to login into my account in Kobo Desktop. A dialog popups that my device is registered to another account, would I like to overwrite this data? Well..strange but I pressed OK. And what I see. A dialog pops up, telling me, that I need to login to do such trhing. I press OK and it returns me to login screen. These steps are the same over and over. I tried reseting factory setup on my device, I tried reinstalling desktop application. I can't figure what is this. I've already read about password problem, y account password contains only letters and nothing else. Last edited by artouiros; 08-06-2011 at 08:49 AM. |

It appears that there is a communication problem between your Touch and your computer.
Here is a list of possibilities along with their remedies. 1) USB port problem - try another USB port and/or another computer 2) Faulty USB cable - try another USB cable. Some smartphones use the same USB cable as the Touch 3) Faulty Touch - exchange at place of purchase |

The firmware update is automatic when you Sync your Touch. The fact that a firmware update is not happening most likely means that you have the most recent version. You can check this under Settings>Device Information>Software Details. The most recent Software Version is 1.9.9 (r30773, Jul 28 2011)

Problem solved. A fresh installation of Windows in VirtualBox worked. Perhaps the driver on the real one got corrupted by something.
