Adobe Store takes too long to deliver download and serial information

Earlier this week we received some Indesign files for a job, but they were in Indesign 5 format, so we were unable to open them with Indesign CS4. So, taking this as a sign that it was time to upgrade, yesterday, at around 1pm UK time I purchased the upgrade from Creative Suite Design Premium 4 to Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5. I logged onto the Adobe.com store, looked at the options - Home and Home Business, Small and Medium Business, Eductation and selected Small and Medium Business (because that is what we are). I purchased the upgrade (as a download), received a confirmation email from Adobe and waited....and waited...and waited. At the end of the day I called Adobe Custopmer support and asked why I have not had any email showing links to download sites, and serial numbers. I was told it can take 24 hrs to process the order.
Well here we are over 24 hrs later and I have still not had any information from Adobe. I tried calling the customer support and it is only open between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. The customer support website is down. The Adobe Volume Licensing site is down - and was all day yesterday as well.
In the meantime I have no way of opening the files. My deadline is Wednesday and we had planned to work on the job today and tomorrow (which is why I am sitting in my office now). It appears I cannot access customer support before Monday morning, and the customer support website is down until tomorrow evening UK time - at least. This means working all night on Monday and probably Tuesday - assuming we get access to the download information early Monday.
Adobe is one of the biggest software vendors in the world. When I buy software - online and for download, with a credit card - I expect to be able to access the software immediately. There is no excuse for this delay. None. A business the size of Adobe should not have customer services down for 2 days. Support should run 24/7, 365 days a year. My enquiry yesterday was routed to an offshore call centre, so having a 9 to 5 cut off is simply ridiculous.
The simple fact is that even the smallest software vendors we buy from deliver the goods within minutes. As you can tell I am mightily "annoyed" by this. At this point in time I am wishing these files were in Quark Xpress format (we have both). Quark used to have terrible support but they are now very good - and available.
As a customer of Adobe for over 15 years I am disappointed. Today, in my email inbox I have emails from Adobe about new online cloud services. Well, why would I want to invest any more in Adobe software if I cannot even access the ones I have bought - quickly?
If companies like Adobe want to know why piracy is rife - look at your own delivery systems. The only option I have now to do this job is to either download a pirated version (which I will not) or to download and run the trial for Indesign. How stupid is that?
Apologies for the rant.

Hi Kevin, not sure why it's taken longer than usual, but you can just download the free trial in the meantime. It will work 100% for 30 days, and you can convert it over to the full version once you receive your permanent serial number without reinstalling. This is fine even with a business license.
There's really no reason not to proceed in this fashion, especially with an imminent deadline. Adobe recommends this in cases where there is any sort of delay (for example, student validation) or immediate need. And absolutely you should avoid downloading the software from anywhere else, which is not only illegal but also hazardous to the health of your computer (malware).
Hope this helps!
Acrobat has never had a Trial for Mac. Probably never will.

Activation of Adobe Form takes too long / XML problem?

Dear all,
I copied a standard form to customer name a year ago with life cycle designer version 7. The designer was updated to 8.
When making a change to the adobe form now, the activation takes more than 30 minutes in some cases. I copied the original form again and the activation takes less than 3 minutes.
When calling the XML Coding-tab within the designer it also takes very long and in some cases the system crashes ....
Has anyone an idea why this happens and if there is anything that i can do with changing attributes or other settings? I also tried to copy the copied form again. Same problem. Only when copying the standard form the activation is normal. I made too many changes so to start over again would take long. I would like to avoid this.
Thank you!
Regards
Viktoria

Hi,
I could not solve this. Had to create the form again. Tried to copy most of the elements into it.
Now it works again and is activated within 1-2 minutes.
So no real solution...

RTF export takes too long

Hi all,
you know why a report with a lot of data and many pages (about 300 pages), if I export this in PDF format using short time (1 min) and if I export this in PDF format takes too long (even 10 minutes) and sometimes even times out.
Have an idea?
Thanks

re: Paul. Not true, or shouldn't be. XDCAM HD timeline, XDCAM HD output.
re: Michael. Well, close. I mixdown the edited timeline, then place that into another sequence where I apply a Broadcast Safe filter and hit it with a bit of audio compression. I render that, ridding myself of the dreaded "red lines". However, when I splat-E, I get red lines all over again while I'm exporting. When the export is done, the red lines disappear. Now as an aside, I do experience actual "missing" render files, but that occurs when I quit a project and then re-open it later...they sometimes don't seem to re-link. As I mentioned in this post, I have a feeling that's because this system is set up in the worst way possible (a single RAID5 which acts as system drive and media storage).
Don't blame me, I'm just trying to work within the confines of what I'm given. My major concern here is that it seems to be getting worse.

After updating my iphone 5s to 7.1 ... the keyboard is crashing and it takes too long to respond, what is the solution? if there any link from which we can download the original 7.1 firmware for A1533 Version?

Restoring the iPhone will reload its firmware.
Plug the iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer.
Let it sync. Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

Ipad 4th gen retina display takes too long downloading apps

I have a Ipad 4th Gen ios 6.1.3. When i tap the app store icon it takes too long to show the info. The same occurs when i itry to install some apps. Comparing with a Asus Memo Pad 10 is slower what does not have to be. My network runs till 200mbps and the ipad has full power and full wi-fi connection.
Is there a problem of comfiguration or other?.
Thank you very much for the help.

Have you tried this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Web application deployment takes too long?

Hi All,
We have a wls 10.3.5 clustering environment with one admin server and two managered servers separately. When we try to deploy a sizable web application, it takes about 1 hour to finish. It seems that it takes too long to finish the deployment. Here is the output from one of two managerd server system log. Could anyone tell me it is normal or not? If not, how can I improve this?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi John,
There may be some circumstances like when there are many files in the WEB-INF folder and JPS don't use TLD.
I don't think a 1hour deployment is normal, it should be much more faster.
Since you are using 10.3.5, I suggesto you to install the corresponding patch:
1. Download patch 10118941p10118941_1035_Generic.zip
2. Uncompress the file p10118941_1035_Generic.zip
3. Copy the required files (patch-catalog_XXXXX.xml, CIRF.jar ) to the Patch Download Directory (typically, this folder is <WEBLOGIC_HOME>/utils/bsu/cache_dir).
4. Rename the file patch-catalog_XXXXX.xml into patch-catalog.xml .
5. Start Smart Update from <WEBLOGIC_HOME>/utils/bsu/bsu.sh .
6. Select "Work Offline" mode.
7. Go to File->Preferences, and select "Patch Download Directory".
8. Click "Manage Patches" on the right panel.
9. You will see the patch in the panel below (Downloaded Patches)
10. Click "Apply button" of the downloaded patch to apply it to the target installation and follow the instructions on the screen.
11. Add "-Dweblogic.jsp.ignoreTLDsProcessingInWebApp=true" to the Java options to ignore additional findTLDs cost.
12. Restart servers.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Cris

Sql Query takes too long to enter into the first line

Hi Friends,
I am using SQLServer 2008. I am running the query for fetching the data from database. when i am running first time after executed the "DBCC FREEPROCCACHE" query for clear cache memory, it takes too long (7 to 9 second) to enter into first
line of the stored procedure. After its enter into the first statement of the SP, its fetching the data within a second. I think there is no problem with Sqlquery. Kindly let me know if you know the reason behind this.
Sample Example:
Create Sp Sp_Name
as
Begin
print Getdate()
Sql statements for fetching datas
Print Getdate()
End
In the above example, there is no difference between first date and second date.
Please help me to trouble shooting this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajkumar.R

i am running first time after executed the "DBCC FREEPROCCACHE" query for clear cache memory, it takes too long (7 to 9 second)
Additional to Manoj: A
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE clears the procedure cache, so all store procedure must be newly compilied on the first call.

Query designer takes too long to save a query

Hi dear SDN friends.
I´m working with query designer in BI 7 and sometimes it takes too long to save a query, about ten minutes. Sometimes it never ends saving and some other times it saves the same query in 1 minute.
Can anybody please give an advice about this behavior of the query designer?
We have recently update BI to sp18. In query designer I have sp5 revision 529

Hello Karim,
I would suggest testing this again in the latest Frontend Patch available (FEP 602). In FEPs 600, 601, & 602 there were some performance and stability improvements made which may correct your issue. If the issue persists, I would suggest then opening a Customer Message via Service Marketplace.
It can be downloaded from:

I hope that helps.

Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
Any one any ideas.
Thanx in advance.

Hello
It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

Muse CC startup takes too long (up to 35 seconds)

For some reason, Muse CC takes too long to launch: up to 35 seconds. The splash screen stays up for that long until the program actually starts.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Accessing BKPF table takes too long

Hi,
Is there another way to have a faster and more optimized sql query that will access the table BKPF? Or other smaller tables that contain the same data?
I'm using this:
   select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart
   into corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
   from bkpf
   where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
   and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
   and blart in so_DocTypes
   and monat in so_monat.
The report is taking too long and is eating up a lot of resources.
Any helpful advice is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi max,
I also tried using BUDAT in the where clause of my sql statement, but even that takes too long.
    select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
     appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
     from bkpf
     where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
     and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
     and blart in so_DocTypes
     and budat in so_budat.
I also tried accessing the table per day, but it didn't worked too...
   while so_budat-low le so_budat-high.
     select bukrs gjahr belnr budat blart monat
     appending corresponding fields of table i_bkpf
     from bkpf
     where bukrs eq pa_bukrs
     and gjahr eq pa_gjahr
     and blart in so_DocTypes
     and budat eq so_budat-low.
     so_budat-low = so_budat-low + 1.
   endwhile.
I think our BKPF tables contains a very large set of data. Is there any other table besides BKPF where we could get all accounting document numbers in a given period?
