I do not have an Apple computer, this forum is normally for iPhone, iPod, and iPad users.... however.... I went to the Adobe site and found the information below. Maybe it can help.... and blessings to you as well - from an old man

When you activate Adobe Digital Editions 1.x or read epubs, you might experience the following error:
"E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED
http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Activate "
Reason
This error is caused by one of, or some combination of, the following three system settings:
1. incorrect clock time.
2. incorrect date.
3. incorrect time zone.
When you download an PDF or epub, the Adobe activation records timestamp information from the Adobe activation server. This information is stored inside the book. When you attempt to open the book, this information is compared to your current system information. If your system has an incorrect time/date/time zone, then the activation server disallows the request and you cannot read the book.
Solution
Carefully check the machine's system time, date, and time zone to be certain they match the time/date/zone when you purchased the PDF or epub. In most cases this will resolve the error.
