Adobe Dont Care About The Customer

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 2 in 2006 and installed it on my PC which no longer works. I asked Adobe for a download link so that I could reinstall but they have told me 3 times that they cannot and will not help. I am currently opening the case in the customer portal only for them to close it a few hours later. I spent something like $2,000 for the software and they tell me they cannot help me. The company is very unhelpful and deserves to be shunned by prospective customers since all they want to after 3 years is sell you an upgrade.

Did you register your suite? Did you lose the installer (if downloaded) or the CD's (if purchased)?
If you didn't register, there's not much that you or they can do. Of course you know that when you download an installer, you should save a backup for these situations.
That being said, this forum is for a specific product (Adobe Contribute) and isn't visited by too many folks. If you go to the feedback forum, you may actually find someone that can help.

Where is that "Comcast Guarantee" and care about the "customer experience"?

Where is your Comcast Guarantee? Empty words, AGAIN? "We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity, and that includes the customer experience. Our customers deserve the best experience every time they interact with us, and improving upon that is our number one priority." "We will always be on time within your 2 hour appointment windowor you’ll receive a $20 credit*.As a courtesy, we will call you before we arrive at your home. And if we fail to arrive for a scheduled visit during the appointment window, we will credit you $20*." "We will resolve routine issues in one visit or you’ll receive a $20* credit.After the first visit to your home, if we do not satisfactorily complete installation or can’t resolve a routine issue, we will credit you $20*. Additionally, we won’t charge you for a service visit that results from a Comcast equipment or network problem." "We will treat you and your home with courtesy and respect.Our technicians will display their Comcast identification clearly when they arrive at your home. They will be trained and equipped to complete the job on the first visit. Our Customer Account Executives (CAEs) will be courteous and knowledgeable when you contact us." I think your word to the customer is worthless. You obviously don't believe a customer's time is valuable, but the recording claims "we value your time". More empty words. You sent a tech to my house that took my cable box for no reason, and left me with terrible service, and a fake follow up appointment. He would NEVER have taken a box from a man, but a woman alone in her home he's allowed to walk all over. Now,after hours and hours and hours of phone calls, messages to the forum, and more comcast no-show for another follow up appointment, more phone calls and appointments, I am back to where I was BEFORE Comcast sent out a tech - still with the original problem that cannot be solved, but at least I have a signal and a box. No one is stepping up to honor Comcast's guarantee. No one has offered to credit my account for anything. No one has contacted me about my bill. I did try to contact billing, and they don't know anything about what kind of mayhem this tech caused me and Comcast, and they want to tell me about a credit applied to my account when $2 was taken off my bill last month that I have no knowledge of, as if I was given a gift. I asked for a supervisor, and had a terrible connection with her over Comcast's equipment. She hung up on me, wasting another 30 minutes of my time.

Blackberry Help does not care about the customer

Guys first let me tell you that I haven't seen an abysmal customer service like this. Even the people who sell pirated or illegal materials offer better customer service than this. Seriously. I think BB doesn't give a s*** about the customers, the only official method is to ignore the customer it seems.
Originally, my problem was this:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-passport-f434/random-reboots-unrecognized-sim-urgent-help-ne...
I have contacted BB Help at Twitter over and over and over again but only a bot answers the messages. Look at that. A bot is answering the complaints at the company who calls themselves "elite" and "enterprise" company. Please help me I am going insane. Should I consult a lawyer? I want to use my one year manufacturers warranty but I can't because BB does not offer any help.

I called customer support once. I was more help to myself than they were to me. Lol

Try and force the iPad Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Can I complain about the Customer Service here?

I just had a very measured conversation with the Service Repair people, but there were a few things that struck me as utterly ridiculous. So if Lenovo is interested in understanding the customer perspective, I thought it would be a good idea to share.
I bought a IdeaPad s10-3 netbook a little under a year ago. I did extensive shopping around to find a machine that was not only a good deal, but that would be more than the piece of crap netbook that my sister has (she has an HP). I liked the s10-3, and despite the Lenovo reputation for bad customer service and questionable quality for their non-Thinkpads, I bought it.
I absolutely loved it for the 9+ months that I had it. It was good to surf the internet and write e-mails, it had an excellent battery life, it was very portable, and it could handle Microsoft Office. Apparently I loved it to much. I took it too many places. Because despite placing it in a memory foam carrying case when I took it around, I found that the cover (basically the screen) was misaligned when I closed it. One of the plastic hinge covers had broke.
The plastic had broken off the bezel and it was no wonder that the stresses was centered on that piece - there wasn't much else holding the hinge in place. Once that plastic was gone other plastic parts started to snap out of place.
"Okay," I thought," this netbook was fairly cheap, I guess eventually the plastics had to fail." I just thought that less than a year was a pretty short lifetime. I remembered that the warranty covered a year, so I sought to find out if it would be covered and how I could get it fixed. I thought about just gluing the piece back to the bezel and snapping everything back in place. But hey, if it was still under warranty, why not get it professionally fixed?
The first time I called the Support Center, the technician couldn't find my warranty because his system was down. He asked me to see if there was another Serial Number, which there wasn't. He told me he would call me back with the system was up again. He did not.
I called again, armed with the necessary information: Serial Number, Model, Type, Product ID, anything that identified my machine. This time, the technician was able to get my information and I explained the problem. I told him I thought the machine was still under warranty and he told me to send it in. I asked if I could just take it into a local Service Center but he said, no, it had to be sent to their center in Texas. He said they would take care of everything, unless they found that it was the product of abnormal use (i.e. I took a hammer to it).
I sent it in (for ~$20). So, done deal, I thought.
Nope, I got a call a week later. Apparently the hinge is not covered by the warranty. Only hardware is covered. So Lenovo doesn't have to replace or repair the cheap, superficial plastic outsides, but just the expensive, important insides. I had thought that this might be a possibility (despite the fact that the technician said that the warranty covered it), but the part I want replaced was plastic, so how expensive could it be?
Apparently, as much as the machine. Seriously. They wanted to charge me $300 to replace the bezel. I asked if it was that expensive because the LCD screen needed to be replaced. Nope, just the plastic parts. As a customer, it's ridiculous to pay that much to replace superficial, cheap parts. So I told them I wouldn't pay and that they should just send the machine back to me.
I also told them to make sure that they send back the plastic hinge so that I could repair it myself (super glue ftw!). The technician on the phone with me couldn't (or wouldn't) guarantee that they would send the hinge back. She kept asking if I sent it with the machine (I did, and I mentioned so in the letter I sent with the machine) and that she didn't know if the technician working on my machine had kept it. I explained why I wanted the hinge back and asked if there was anything that she could do for me if they didn't send it back. She stammered. I understood that she couldn't personally make sure that the hinge would be in the box with my machine. But really, couldn't she do anything to help me?
So instead of simply gluing the piece back and having a working (with less structural integrity) netbook, I'm already out $20, plus the time it took to call the Center and package and ship the machine, and I might not even be able to repair it myself!
I would have been infinitely better off if I had decided to trust Lenovo's Customer Service reputation and fix it myself. Or if I was simply told in the first place "Lenovo's warranty doesn't cover that."
Let's hope that my brand-new ThinkPad t420s never has to get serviced. Or maybe next time I should just get a MacBook.
Case Number WN378375

Well that settled it. I WILL NO LONGER BE BUYING LENOVO. My dad disapproved of me buying Lenovo over (what he perceived as) superior quality American products, and I disagreed - but not anymore. Some of Lenovo's policies are seriously idiotic.
I just got off the phone with their Repair Center/Customer Service line. I asked for his supervisor, since I was sure that the Support Rep. couldn't do anything for me. After a delay, I finally got to explain why I was calling and ask if there is anything that he could do for me. I told him that a customer has a reasonable expectation that sending in a machine should make the situation better, not worse. He kept saying "Unfortunately, we cannot give out free repairs..." But I wasn't asking for a free repair. I just wanted SOMETHING, ANYTHING other than a pat on the back and a "So sorry, pal" kind of attitude from a company that just screwed up. He said that the only "concession" he could give me was for free shipping of the machine. I asked what he meant, since I had already received the machine back. He explained that if I wanted to send the machine back to get it repaired, and pay the repair fee, Lenovo would pay for the shipping.
Seriously.
Lenovo's "concession" was to ship back the machine so I could pay for the service that I didn't want to pay for in the first place.
He couldn't offer me anything else. I asked if they could send me the missing part I meant a replacement part, but he thought I meant the broken piece I had sent in. He went on to explain that any broken pieces are automatically put in the trash as "scrap." Okay, makes sense that broken parts are useless if they're going to be replaced anyways. Except that mine wasn't. And it is reasonable to assume that some customers will be unwilling to pay for the repairs once they are quoted. You don't see car body shops throwing out bent fenders before their owners give the OK to do the repairs. It's just a stupid, stupid policy. And I said as much. I felt a bit bad for the guy listening to me, because he has no power over Lenovo's policies.
He put me on hold and tried to see if he could send me a replacement part. But nope, apparently the bezel is connected to the LCD cover (even though you can see a break in the plastic and my bezel snaps out of place from the cover) and he can't send me that entire set.
I asked if there was anything else he could do for me to placate my anger. You know, usually a company has some sort of policy to make a customer happier when there is a situation that they can't remedy. Like when I was flying Alaska Airlines for a 1hr flight and it was delayed 3+ hrs because there was a problem with the door - their customer service team gave me a $150 voucher. It doesn't take back the 3hrs I spent angry in an airport, but it makes me feel a little bit better about their company and how they value their customers. The poor guy couldn't do any of that for me.
So I just told him, if he ever had the chance to pass along these words to the higher ups, that the "resolution" to my situation was completely unacceptable. That Lenovo's warranty should be more specific that it only covers the electrical hardware, and that I was led to believe that my problem fell under the warranty. But more importantly, Lenovo's policies were not customer-friendly, and that they had lost a customer.
Put simply, Lenovo's customer service should nurture and grow a loyal customer base. It has done the exact opposite on me.
It just seems like Lenovo doesn't care about the ordinary customer.

Question about the custom panel language

I have a question about the custom panel language...
The document you provide seems to lack details on some features. Namely the icon and picture widgets. I see from looking at the examples and other vendor's web pages that these features exist, but I don't find any detailed descriptions of them in the documentation. Is there a more complete document describing these and other features...
http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/custompanel.html
Alternatively, can someone fill me in on the syntax and options for at least the icon and picture widget. For instance, how do you load external icons or pictures...
Tom

Gunar,
It could be interesting to have something like
icon(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
or better
picture(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
for the pictures and
include(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/xml/custompanel/camera1.txt');
for include the cusmtom panel's dynamic portions

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

The problem is that there is a limit for creating new iCloud accounts from a device and if the previous owner already created three accounts with this iPhone you bought from him, then you would have to use another device in order to create a new one.

At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Nope, GPS is a Federal requirement for anything operating a cellular telephone signal. You don't ever plan to call 911 until you are in an emergency. I don't see that requirement changing any time soon.
If you are truly inconvenienced by the VZW network extender then perhaps you should disable you calling features in these areas and swap over to WiFi only. There are many services and apps out there that can route your phone services through internet service providers.

Creative Cloud - Does Adobe REALLY Care About Customers?

I hope the staff at Adobe are reading these forum posts.
First question: the following quote
As far as the future of CS applications, in his Adobe MAX keynote, David Wadhwani said, 'We have no plans' to continue perpetual licenses. We are not ruling that out in the future.
Just exactly what is meant by this statement? Is Adobe already looking for a back door if the Create Cloud doesn't pan out? I really would like to know what this means. It sounds ominous and dubious and it sends mixed messages.
As far as the Creative Cloud model goes, is this really a benefit to your customers? I can see it might make Adobe a lot of money (if you don't lose a vast majority of your customer base) but how does it really benefit your customers? Your loyal customers? The customers that made you the rich company that you are today.
Speaking for myself, I do not use all the programs that will be available in the cloud on a regular basis. During the summer when I don't have classes, I don't use some programs at all. But I have to keep paying whether I use them or not. If I stop paying, I will lose access to my software. How is that a good thing for me? For the majority of your customers? You think because we pay a monthly fee that most people won't equate that we are having to fork over more than $300 a year? In some cases over $600 a year. And it never stops. How is that good for the majority of your customers?
Do I really need to have the latest software constantly? No, I don't. But you are now forcing the issue whether I want it or not. Forcing your customer to do something does not seem like you really care about me. About us.
What about my students? We have hundreds of students that go through our Adobe software classes each semester. Every student told me they would not go with the Cloud, either because they don't have the money or they were going to protest Adobe's "money grabbing scheme" (one student's actual quote). The students sure don't think Adobe cares about them. If the students stop taking the classes because of the software access, then we start cutting sections. Does Adobe care about that? I'm sure no, but think about those hundreds of students each semester that will no longer be learning to use Adobe software.
Adobe is putting a stranglehold on its customers and the customers are going to say enough is enough. Perhaps new software (open source?) will emerge to take the place of Adobe. Perhaps people using InDesign will go back to QuarkXPress. Perhaps enough of these former Adobe customers will force Adobe to check their hubris and greed at the door. But maybe not. The world will move on, one way or another.
One thing I am supremely sure about is Adobe has got it really, really wrong on the Creative Cloud strategy.
BTW, you might want to read the following link entitled Adobe Creative Cloud: Lopsided Legal Agreement. It is not pretty:

Nice sentiments, could not agree more.

I hope this occurs across the globe with students ("potential" future Adobe customers) whom may be hindered in their monetary abilities but not in seeing the truth towards what it being placed upon them by Adobe concerning the Cloud mirage. This is a great opportunity for educators to truly educate their students about Adobe.
