Reauthorization of Adobe ID for ALL iOS
users required by Apple
|
|
Due to a change in Apple's privacy policies, OverDrive had to make
changes to the way they handle licensing of EPUB eBooks and MP3 audiobooks. As
a result, the OMC for iOS v2.6.5 update will de-authorize every users’
Adobe ID and prompt them to authorize again. Audiobook users will be
unaffected unless attempting to download parts from a book that was only
partially downloaded prior to the v2.6.5 update.

eBooks – Adobe Authorization
After installing the update, users with authorized Adobe IDs
in place will see the following message:
|
 |
|
Clicking ‘Sign In’ will show the ‘Adobe Authorization’ screen.
The deauthorized Adobe ID is pre-populated, so the user will only need to
enter the password. The ‘Forgot password?’ link will be available.

Audiobooks – Downloading additional parts
Audiobook users won’t notice anything different unless they
attempt to download parts of audiobooks partially downloaded to OMC before
installing the v2.6.5 update. In this case, the following message is
displayed:

Users will need to download the title again from their digital library website bookshelf to download the missing
parts.

These updates are messaged in the App Store and on the “What’s
New” screen. Additionally, there are two help articles available for users
and library staff to help with these updates:
