ADOBE AN ABSOLUTE DISCGRACE OF A COMPANY TAKING MORE MONEY THAN THEY SHOULD OFF MY ACCOUNT EVERY MON

I have been having major issues with my Adobe Creative Cloud Account. The problem started when I had a normal subscription, then upgraded to Team for additional space. Due to changes in my team I reverted back to normal subscription 3 months later. I had hoped that I could just update my monthly subscription to one subscription... but No!! Adobe said I couldnt restart my normal subscription and I had to start a new one, so I did. I then tried to cancel my Team subscription and they say every month that they have. Yet every month I still get charged for it along with my new and old normal subscriptions. (3 CC Payments per month)
I have tried cancelling my Adobe Creative Cloud Subscrition for 5 months. Time and time again Adobe keep saying that its cancelled and every month I get charged. I have to go through support and battle for refunds and spend hours of my time speaking to overseas support operators going over the same stupid things.
Adobe support is hopeless and I have raised over 10 support cases to sort this and well over 15 hours of my time to rectify the situation. Time and Time again Adobe escalate it, say they have fixed then every month I get billed for my Team on the 8th of the month then billed for 2 x normal subscriptions on the 18th of every month.
It has now got to the stage that I am sick of support and I need to look at alternatives to sort this. My bank cant cancel it because it is not a direct debit or a standing order. Adobe has my card details and it lies with them to cancel it. The only option the bank said I can choose is to cancel my cards.
Adobe Can you please cancel my Adobe please. I wish to cancel everything as I have had enough.
Here are all my support cases trying to cancel.

@W_J_T and Aegis Kleais - I deleted the original post from W_J_T: "Sad isn't it. To bad Adobe could not be more professional via the conventional methods you tried. Welcome to the Creative Cloud utopia going forward. Buckle up people, brace yourselves."
I hardly feel my original comment was out of line given Adobe's failure on the matter being discussed in this thread.

In all honesty that's a rather audacious comment in and of itself, look at the original post and what they stated.

Did Adobe use a similar approach of "If a customer has a problem please "provide" (post) a helpful response." I mean come on, my comment was in direct correlation to the topic at hand, the customer tried conventional methods and Adobe failed repeatedly and miserably by conventional methods. The customer then caused public noise, Adobe wanted no bad PR and finally took action. 14 support tickets over 5 months before posting on a public forum and "finally" getting help? So is that considered a professional approach to "customer support" by a corporation dealing with its "flagship" offering to a customer? This is not the first instance of this either, one merely has to search the forum to find similar issues regarding similar situations.
This is what is considered by Adobe as "A customer has a problem and providing help?" Really, 5 months and 14 support tickets, then needing to post what should be a private business matter publicly on a public forum for resolution?

Songs taking up more space than they should?

Well, I have an iPod mini & I have 149 songs on my iTunes, but it says its taking up 3.04 GB I pretty sure it shouldn't, but does anyone know if this is normal and if I can fix it? I don't have any artwork or anything either.

You might want to convert them all to Apple Lossless instead of MP3's or WAV's or whatever. I haven't noticed any loss of sound quality on any of my music and the files are really compact. Worst case is at some point in the future, I go back and reimport my CD's if I think the sound quality's then better. Also - when you do that - convert - it'll have two copies of the songs in your library. The original & the converted version. You can either leave them both showing in your iTunes library, or move the larger versions out to another location. Just have the library show you duplicates, add a column for size or type, and select the larger versions & click Delete. It'll ask you if you want to send the files to the recycle bin or leave them on your hard disk - that's your call. I'd probably be inclined to leave them all right there - if you need the bigger copy at some point, just navigate to the folder in your iTunes folder using Windows Explorer or similar and you'll see both versions. But iTunes and your iPod will only see the more compact converted versions.

Query in timesten taking more time than query in oracle database

Hi,
Can anyone please explain me why query in timesten taking more time
than query in oracle database.
I am mentioning in detail what are my settings and what have I done
step by step.........
1.This is the table I created in Oracle datababase
(Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)...
CREATE TABLE student (
id NUMBER(9) primary keY ,
first_name VARCHAR2(10),
last_name VARCHAR2(10)
2.THIS IS THE ANONYMOUS BLOCK I USE TO
POPULATE THE STUDENT TABLE(TOTAL 2599999 ROWS)...
declare
firstname varchar2(12);
lastname varchar2(12);
catt number(9);
begin
for cntr in 1..2599999 loop
firstname:=(cntr+8)||'f';
lastname:=(cntr+2)||'l';
if cntr like '%9999' then
dbms_output.put_line(cntr);
end if;
insert into student values(cntr,firstname, lastname);
end loop;
end;
3. MY DSN IS SET THE FOLLWING WAY..
DATA STORE PATH- G:\dipesh3repo\db
LOG DIRECTORY- G:\dipesh3repo\log

Instance admin: dipesh
Instance home directory: G:\TimestTen\TT70_32
Daemon home directory: G:\TimestTen\TT70_32\srv\info
THEN I CONNECT TO THE TIMESTEN DATABASE
C:\Documents and Settings\dipesh> ttisql
command>connect "dsn=dipesh3;oraclepwd=tiger";
4. THEN I START THE AGENT
call ttCacheUidPwdSet('SCOTT','TIGER');
Command> CALL ttCacheStart();
5.THEN I CREATE THE READ ONLY CACHE GROUP AND LOAD IT
create readonly cache group rc_student autorefresh
interval 5 seconds from student
(id int not null primary key, first_name varchar2(10), last_name varchar2(10));
load cache group rc_student commit every 100 rows;
6.NOW I CAN ACCESS THE TABLES FROM TIMESTEN AND PERFORM THE QUERY
I SET THE TIMING..
command>TIMING 1;
consider this query now..
Command> select * from student where first_name='2155666f';
< 2155658, 2155666f, 2155660l >
1 row found.
Execution time (SQLExecute + Fetch Loop) = 0.668822 seconds.
another query-
Command> SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE FIRST_NAME='2340009f';
2206: Table SCOTT.STUDENTS not found
Execution time (SQLPrepare) = 0.074964 seconds.
The command failed.
Command> SELECT * FROM STUDENT where first_name='2093434f';
< 2093426, 2093434f, 2093428l >
1 row found.
Execution time (SQLExecute + Fetch Loop) = 0.585897 seconds.
Command>
7.NOW I PERFORM THE SIMILAR QUERIES FROM SQLPLUS...
SQL> SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE FIRST_NAME='1498671f';
ID FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME
1498663 1498671f 1498665l
Elapsed: 00:00:00.15
Can anyone please explain me why query in timesten taking more time
that query in oracle database.

Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.

Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.
The pdfs print fine though.

Try doing a spotlight search for all files that start with AdobeFnt. They will be named AdobefntXX.lst, with the XX being some number. They will be scattered across the drive... After making sure that all Adobe applications are closed, trash all the adobefntxx.lst files, those with the 3 letter extension .lst.
Then, restart the system, and open the files in Acrobat again.
Otherwise, what happens in Safe boot? (Remember, Safe boot loads only a default set of fonts.) If they display fine there, the problem most likely is a font issue, one of the fonts that Adobe installed.
Check Adobe's web support page for troubleshooting Fonts.

Contact Adobe about the whole issue, it is after all, Adobe Acrobat... Adobe's contact number is 800 833 6687.

Level1 backup is taking more time than Level0

The Level1 backup is taking more time than Level0, I really am frustated how could it happen. I have 6.5GB of database. Level0 took 8 hrs but level1 is taking more than 8hrs . please help me in this regard.

Charles,
By enabling the block change tracking will be indeed faster than before he have got. I think this does not address the question of the OP unless you are saying the incremental backup without the block change tracking is slower than a level 0 (full) backup?
Thank you in anticipating.
OganOgan,
I can't explain why a 6.5GB level 0 RMAN backup would require 8 hours to complete (maybe a very slow destination device connected by 10Mb/s Ethernet) - I would expect that it should complete in a couple of minutes.
An incremental level 1 backup without a block change tracking file could take longer than a level 0 backup. I encountered a good written description of why that could happen, but I can't seem to locate the source at the moment. The longer run time might have been related to the additional code paths required to constantly compare the SCN of each block, and the variable write rate which may affect some devices, such as a tape device.
A paraphrase from the book "Oracle Database 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery"
"Incremental backups must check the header of each block to discover if it has changed since the last incremental backup - that means an incremental backup may not complete much faster than a full backup."

Layout taking more space than necessary...

Hi folks...my applet has two panels inside it arranged in a flowlayout. The first panel is a 5 row x 1 col gridlayout, and the second is working fine. The problem with the first one is that that it is taking more space than necessary and going out the bottom of the applet. Now if I do this in appletviewer, resizing the window by a few pixels will make it relayout the panel and everything looks fine, but of course you can't ask people to do that =) What's the problem here? I've tried validating both the applet and the problem panel, and tried invalidating it first. Any ideas? thanks!

Here is the first half of it...it has all the relevant info. I took out the validate stuff 'cause it wasn't helping.

BT billings are taking a lot more money than my ac...

I am absolutely tired of this and will be sending a complaint soon.
I've been with BT for 8-9 months now and it's been nothing but a hassle, ever since January when I moved homes, BT have been taking £65 every month because of 'average calls I made back in 2012', even though they've already taken the money to cover those bills, they're still taking £65 because it's the average use, bare in mind we no longer use the landline anymore.
Since February, BT have been taking more than what I need to pay for, so I said okay and let them take out the money because they said that any extra money will be deducted from the next quarterly bill, starting from may, they deducted the extra money from previous bills and my quarterly bill was £108.75, may first they took again £65 leaving about £43 left for the next TWO months.
I then called BT and they said that for now on there will be a set amount of money that will be due every month but for now I have to finish my current quarterly bill in order for them to proceed, I said it doesn't make sense that I have to pay off the £43 now and start paying the set amount starting from next month. I was put on hold for a few minutes and told that I won't have to clear the current bill and was CONFIRMED that the next payment will be next month.
Guess what, they took out the £43 without my permission even though we agreed that the set payment will start from June.
It's just an absolute mess, to keep this short .. my current quarterly bill from 11th April till 12th of July is 'PAID'. Why am I still being charged, going to be charged £45 next month and the month after even though my quarterly bill is cleared?

Suddenly ODI scheduled executions taking more time than usual.

Hi,
I have set ODI packages scheduled for execution.
From some days those are taking more time to execute themselves.
Before they used to take 1 hr 30 mins approx.
Now they are taking 3 - 3 hr 15 mins approx.
And there no any major change in data in terms of Quantity.
My ODI version s
Standalone Edition Version 11.1.1
Build ODI_11.1.1.3.0_GENERIC_100623.1635
ODI packages are mainly using Oracle as SOURCE and TARGET DB.
What things should i check to get to know reasons of sudden increase in time of execution.
Any pointers regarding this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Mahesh,
Use some repository queries to retrieve the session task timings and compare your slow execution to a previous acceptable execution, then look for the biggest changes - this will highlight where you are slowing down, then its off to tune the item accordingly.
See here for some example reports , you might need to tweak for your current repos version but I dont think the table structures have changed that much :

CatSearch taking more time than full table scan

Hi
I have a table which has close to 140 million records. I had been exploring the option of using oracle text for search. So , I created an index(ctxcat) on the column Name by the following query.
begin
     ctx_ddl.create_preference('FT_WL', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
     ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('FT_WL', 'prefix-index','TRUE');
end;
create index history_namex on history(name) indextype is ctxsys.ctxcat parameters ('WORDLIST FT_WL');
But when I executed the following query , I have found out that catsearch is taking more time. The queries and thier stats are :-
1. select * from history where catsearch(name, 'Jake%', null) > 0 and rownum < 200;
Elapsed : 00 : 00 : 00.13
Statistics :
112 recursive calls
0 db block gets
413 consistent gets
28 physical reads
0 redo size
33168 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
663 bytes receuved via SQL*Net from client
15 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
199 rows processed
2. select * from history where name like 'Jake%' and rownum < 200;
Elapsed : 00 : 00 : 00.05
Statistics :
1 recursive calls
0 db block gets
220 consistent gets
383 physical reads
0 redo size
26148 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
663 bytes receuved via SQL*Net from client
15 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
199 rows processed
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
PS : there is no conventional index on the name column.
Edited by: 976934 on Dec 14, 2012 3:32 AM

The asterisk (*) is simply the correct syntax for a wildcard using catsearch. If you use % instead, then you will not get the same results. Please see the section of the online documentation below, that shows that the asterisk is the wildcard for catsearch.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/text.112/e24436/csql.htm#CHDJBGHE
Additionally, if you want to limit the rows, then you need to get the matching results in an inner sub-query, then use the rownum in an outer query. The way that you were doing it, it first limits the rows to the first 200, then checks which of those meet the criteria, instead of the other way around. So, the correct syntax should be the following, which should also be the most efficient.
select * from
       (select * from history
        where catsearch (name, 'Jake*', null) > 0)
where rownum < 200;

Wait Step is taking more time than specified

Hi All,
I have included wait step for 1 minute in BPM. But it is taking more than 30 minutes instead of 1 minute.
Could any one help me on this?
Help will be rewarded.

Hi,
Chech if all the jobs are scheduled correctly in SWF_XI_CUSTOMIZING if u find any jobs in error status just perform an Automatic BPM Customizing.

Cube content deletion is taking more time than usual.

Hi Experts,
We have a Process chain which ideally should run in every two hours. This chain has a delete data cube content step before the new data is loaded in the cube. This chain is running fine for one instance & the other instance is taking more time so it is quite intermittent.
In the process chain we are also deleting contents from the Dimension tables (in the delete content step). Need your inputs to improve the performance of this step.
Thanks & Regards
Mayank Tyagi.

Hi Mayank ,
You can delete the indexes of the cube before deleting the contents of the cube . The concept is same as of data loading that data loads happens faster when indexes are deleted .
If you are having aggregates over this cube , then that aggregate will be also adjusted .
Kind Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Imac taking more time than usual to boot and Bluetooth functionality is not available

My IMac (21" 10.9.1 OS X 2.5GHZ Intel Core i5) is taking much time to boot. I am seeing this happening from past one week. I am also facing Bluetooth issue. My bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse are not working. So I had to connect with normal USB Keyboard and Mouse and when I logged in, I am able to see that the bluetooth functionality is disabled. It is saying Bluetooth not available.
I tried to do Repair Disk permissions (on Disk Utility) and also tried PRAM reset. Both did not work.
Do anyone faced the same isse? Question here is.
1) Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?.
2) What caused this issue all of a sudden, I dont remember installing any softwares recently.

RMAN cold backup taking more time than usual

Hi everybody.. please help me resolving below issue..
I have configured the RMAN in one of the production database with separate catalogue database six months earlier. I have sceduled weekly cold backup through RMAN on sunday 6pm. Normally it used to take one hour to complete the cold backup and database goes down soon as the job starts.
But since from then every week the time taken to just initiate the database shutdown continuosly increasing and recently when i checked it is taking 1 hour to initiate the database shutdown. Once the initiation starts it hardly take 1 to 3 min to shutdown.
Database is up and running during that one Hour. I was in the assumption that RMAN takes some time to execute its internal packages.
Please help
Regards,
Arun Kumar

Hi John and Tychos,
Thank you very much for your valuable inputs.
Yesterday there was cold backup and i have monitored the CPU usage. But there was no load on the CPU at that time and CPU usage was 0%
I have tried connecting to RMAN manually and it connects within a second. And also noticed in prstat -a that rman connects as soon as the job starts.
So i think that its taking time at the deleting obsolete backups.
But I have observerd following observation.
Before executing the delete obsolete command as mentioned before
RMAN> REPORT OBSOLETE RECOVERY WINDOW OF 35 DAYS DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
Report of obsolete backups and copies
Type Key Completion Time Filename/Handle
Backup Set 83409 25-JUL-09
Backup Piece 83587 25-JUL-09 arc_SID_20090725_557_1
Backup Set 83410 25-JUL-09
Backup Piece 83588 25-JUL-09 arc_SID_20090725_558_1
Backup Set 83411 25-JUL-09
Backup Piece 83589 25-JUL-09 arc_SID_20090725_559_1
After executing the delete obsolete command
RMAN> REPORT OBSOLETE RECOVERY WINDOW OF 35 DAYS DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
Report of obsolete backups and copies
Type Key Completion Time Filename/Handle
Backup Set 83409 25-JUL-09
Backup Piece 83587 25-JUL-09 arc_SID_20090725_557_1
Backup Set 83410 25-JUL-09

Backup Set 83411 25-JUL-09
Backup Piece 83589 25-JUL-09 arc_SID_20090725_559_1
Please advice me on the following.
1. Why its not deleting the obsolete BACKUP SETS?
2. Is it normal that RMAN takes this much deleting obsolete backup sets? How can i minimize the time taking for deleting obsolete files.
Thanks and Regards,
Arun Kumar

RMAN backup taking more time than usual suddenly

Hi All,
We are using 11.1.0.7 database, We regularly takes the full level 0 incremental backup which generally tooks 4:30 hours to complete but from last 2-3 days it is taking 6 hours /or more to complete. We did not made any parameter changes or script change in the database.
Below are the details of rman :
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name OLAP are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;

please compare server load(cpu/memory) on above two period.

Connection through jdbc thin client taking more time than from sqlplus!!!

Hello All
Machines A and B
Applicaion in A is connecting to B(9.2.0.6),db server.
The schema is so small with few tables and data in each table less than 500 rows
We are in the process of migrating the Application Schema in B to C[9.2.0.8].
But the response time is more when the application fetches from C.
Even while selecting the sysdate from dual.
The application is using the jdbc thin client for fetching the data.
When the same sql is executed by (from A to C)
sqlplus -s user/pass @execute.sql, its gets done in a fraction of a second.
But when the same is done through the application which uses jdbc thin client, it takes few seconds
to complete.
When tried with a small java program that uses classes12.jar (from A to C)
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,UID,PASS);
               stop = System.currentTimeMillis();
               System.out.println("Connection time in milli sec: " + (stop - start));
               System.out.println();
..It was found that creating the connection was taking time.
But the same is not happening when tired through the sqlplus
Could someone throw some light into this?
What could be the reason for jdbc to get slower while establishing connections?
TIA,
JJ

are you using latest drivers - http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
you may want to check some options reducing jdbc connection cost from the otn samples - http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
