10 Years of upgrades, now I am meh'ed off.
Can anyone provide a plausible answer as to why it costs the equivalent of USD $314 to upgrade my Photoshop CS3 to CS5 as a download?
I can go to the adobe.com site, and there is it for USD $199, but when I try to buy it, it will not accept my purchase.
+ there is a discount that makes it $159!
Hey I want the software cheaper like the next guy, but to make me feel like I'm getting totally ripped off is really rather uncool, to say the least.
In fact, it's as if Adobe think I'm completely unaware of this, but it's only a /au/ away! (plus a flash site, don't get me started).
How about normalising the software price, or keeping some kind of parity? At least treat your customers as global citizens for downloads, not hold us in contempt.
I for one am not going to upgrade based just on principle now, after 10 years of paying for this software upgrade path, this morning was the limit.
Enough is enough.

Is there duty or import tax added in N.Z?
O.T. New Zealand is probably my most coveted destination. I'd live there given 1/2 the chance. Also, my all time favorite soprano, Kiri Tekanawa, is from N.Z. Magnificient voice.
What a country!
Yes there is import duty, which kicks in at about NZ$1000, but gennerally ignored. I brought a Bowens Travel Kit back from a UK trip a few years ago (literally half the price there) and got away with excess baggage _and_ duty. I was pretty pleased.
I have tried sourcing from the US, but it just won't let me. I'd love to know why Adobe thinks it is OK to ripp off folk outside the USA?
My wife and I did a top of the south island tour finishing a week ago, and had a great time. I've only put five images up since getting home (two big photo jobs since then), but I have a few more decent images when I get round to it:

I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?
There are no upgrades for Student and Teacher Editions. You can continue to use the version you are using, or you can buy CS6 with no special upgrade price, or subscribe to Creative Cloud. However, I believe if you still qualify, you're offered a discount on Creative Cloud.

Over the years and upgrading machines, I now have over 20k of emails in the import mailboxes within several folders. How can I archive these in way so the are still available, if necessary, to search, but don't load and slow down my mail app.
Ok Thank you.
I wont worry now.
Just maybe dig in deep and delete the deleted mails that are still around and that will hopefully clean it up a bit.
Many thanks for your help and advice.

Satellite A205-S5804 Vista SP2 I have read through hundreds of questions but have been unable to find answer. May have missed it. I ran MS add/remove software to remove some HP software. Process aborted & now all my startup programs are gone. Some of my program setups are also gone. Applied the MS process to restore to default & have some programs now. All my application programs are installed but no startup icons for execution. Ran restore to point before removing HP software but it failed "system restore could not be completed". Ran sfc scannow but no help. Ran chkdsk /r but no help. Startup programs still missing. Appears that I will have to use the still shrinkwrapped recovery CDs to restore (backup CDs lost). I have backed up entire system plus copied downloads, documents, all user data, favorites, exported MS MAil messages & contacts, & softwaredistrubition files to external drive. SoftwareDist is where all the updates are stored that have been updated over the last 2+ years. Question: Do I have to go through all the Windows updates (download) after the restore or can I just run them from the softwareDistribution folder. I seems like a pity to go thought all the years of upgrades. Will the system do all the updates properly if I have to use the normal windows process to upgrade after the restore. I have never had to restores since the 80's on original PCs. Just exactly is the process to get back my PC like it was after a restore to factory setup

Do I have to go through all the Windows updates (download) after the restore ..
Dennis, you must install Vista's Service Pack 1 and then Service Pack 2. Most of the updates will be installed by those.
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Information about Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008
Then use Windows Update to install the newer ones.
Sorry it's the hard way.

I have been using Photoshop and Lightroom for years, purchasing upgrades. If I join CC do I have to pay the same as someone new to PS and Lightroom?
Adobe usually offers discounts on the full Creative Cloud (all apps) for customers with CS3 or later. However the Photography plan (Photoshop and LR) Is $9.99 pm (or local currency) and the initial benefits for CS customers who took what was then called The Photography Program (larger cloud storage) has now ended.

I purchased CS5 Design Standard about 5 years ago. Now I am trying to install second PC, but I got a message like " This serial number is not correct." I want to know the correct serial number, but I missed my ex adobe ID because I've changed my E-mail address.
It is not clear to me what your issue is with not being able to sign in to your Adobe account to find the serial number. You should still be able to sign in and find your serial number if you registered the software.
If your first PC is a Windows machine you might be able to extract the serial number from it using the Belarc Advisor

I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck. If I delete the ap and reinstall I will lose my stuff. Any ideas? It won't open so I can email it to myself.
What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

IO6 upgrade, now music will not sync to iPhone 4S????
I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S to IO6. Since then my music will no longer sync. I have over 5,200 songs and all were on the iPhone before I upgraded. However, once I upgraded to IO6 the music disappeared off the iPhone (it's still in iTunes). Before anyone asks:
- The music is still in the same folder on my hard drive (same as before upgrading to IO6).
- Yes, the box in iTunes is checked which says sync the entire music library.
The ONLY thing that has changed is that my iPhone now has IO6 on it.
Is anyone else having this problem? And if so how did you fix it?I'm having the same problem!

Show Current Date in Year Format (and now - 1, etc.)
Our form has some column headers that need to change each year, the headings are current year (2010) + previous 3 years. Am trying to programatically add the titles to eliminate modifying the form just to change the year, but not finding how to accomplish, and was checking out some date samples found, but no success yet. My question is 2 part - how/where do I put code, I don't need the user to enter anything, just want a column header. This example below is where I copied the idea from a sample and tried to adjust, it's on the calculate event of a date/time field, and I get an error message that says 'the display pattern "date-{MM/DD]" is incompatible with the object's data format. Define a compatible Display pattern. This display pattern error is the 2nd part of the question. How do I display only the 4 digit year?
year1.rawValue
= num2date(date(), "YYYY")
How do I accomplish this - am newbie on this! Thank you very much!
1) I typically use a hidden field to capture the current date on the layout:ready event.
2) If year1 is a date object your script is valid but you are probably missing the display pattern date{YYYY} on year1.
If year1 is a text field you could could capture current year in a hidden field as
// form1.page1.currentYear::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)
$.rawValue = Num2Date(Date(), "YYYY")
where currentYear has the display pattern date{YYYY} and add
this.rawValue = form1.page1.currentYear.rawValue;
to the calculate event of year1.
