Adobe is simply a rip off and people should use open source programs

Every time I go to use something you leaches are trying to suck more money from me. I am moving everything to open source. Screw you guys.

Hi John,
I'm so sorry to hear of your frustration. Is there something in particular I can assist you with?
Please let me know.
Looking foward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months. Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all. What can I do to open the program?

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program. How to I resolve this?

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

TS3274 Some games we have apps for... Open then shut off and won't stay open.......

Some games we have apps for.......open then shut off and do not stay open... Any ideas?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help try quitting the app first then reset the iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
If still no joy try deleting the app an download it again.
Also make sure your iPad has enough free space to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.

my phone is fully charge i just left it on the table after 30mins i saw it off and i can't open it again, i tried charging it its not charging but if you will call the line its ringing!

You don't have much choice, do you? You're either going to have to restore the software or take it to the Genius Bar to see about getting that button fixed.

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Your best bet is to check the version of QuarkXPress you have. Since Lion does not include Rosetta my guess is this may be why it is not working. Check out this site http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. This site has a list of apps that work and don't work under Mac OS X Lion.
If you are working in a production environment freelance or stuido that uses design apps like QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop you should always wait to upgrade your OS. We have a 3 to 6 month policy for upgrading computers and software.
I hope the website helps. http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Does Database initializer obsolete in EF 6.0 ? And we should use Migration instead of it.

In this tutorial
http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/older-versions/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc3/cs/adding-a-new-field
I see such code
public class MovieInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MovieDBContext> {
protected override void Seed(MovieDBContext context) {
var movies = new List<Movie> {
new Movie { Title = "When Harry Met Sally",
ReleaseDate=DateTime.Parse("1989-1-11"),
Genre="Romantic Comedy",
Rating="R",
Price=7.99M},
new Movie { Title = "Ghostbusters ",
ReleaseDate=DateTime.Parse("1984-3-13"),
Genre="Comedy",
Rating="R",
Price=8.99M},
new Movie { Title = "Ghostbusters 2",
ReleaseDate=DateTime.Parse("1986-2-23"),
Genre="Comedy",
Rating="R",
Price=9.99M},
new Movie { Title = "Rio Bravo",
ReleaseDate=DateTime.Parse("1959-4-15"),
Genre="Western",
Rating="R",
Price=3.99M},
movies.ForEach(d => context.Movies.Add(d));
But when I went to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907 I see only migration database
I am newbie at EF. I am focusing on Code First. I have an idea that
DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges
and another DataBase initializer is not acutal for EF 6 but it was used in previous version.
On the other hand from names of this
Database initializer is for database initization
Migration for database structure changing
Before learning I decided ask this question
Does Database initializer obsolete in EF 6.0 ? And I should use Database Migration instead of it ?
My .NET Blog with projects and feedback.
Since May 30, 2014 I am waiting for Microsoft fix
these 2 bug. If you know how to speed them up, please help

Hello,
>>Does Database initializer obsolete in EF 6.0?
I do not know why you think so, if the team decides to make the database initializer obsolete, I think they would make a markup as Deprecated, however, there is not such a markup on that method on MSDN document. And the Database initializer method is useful
when we play with automatic migration. In your case, the DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges database initialization strategy, would delete the original database and create new one according your new model. Of course, data would be missing. If you are under a
scenario need to make a test to recreate the database frequently, this one should be ok.
Currently, there are four database initialization strategies could be used:
CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<TContext> Class
DropCreateDatabaseAlways<TContext>
DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<TContext>
MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<TContext, TMigrationsConfiguration>
You could use one of them for a proper scenario.

Logging with whereabouts using open source and freeware

You can find the html version of this at:
http://www.acelet.com/whitepaper/loggingWithWhereabouts.html
Logging with whereabouts using open source and freeware
The purpose of logging is to find out what had happened when needed. When the
time comes to read log messages, you want to know both the log message and its
whereabouts (class name, method name, file name and line number). So you need
to hard code whereabouts.
But hard coded whereabouts are very difficult to maintain: when you modify your
source code, line number changes; when you copy and paste a line, its class name
and method name change. If whereabouts are wrong, you introduce bugs in your logging
logic and the log messages are useless at the best.
This article shows you an example of using freeware Redress tool to rectify whereabouts
programmatically in your Makefile or Ant build file. So your whereabouts are always
correct for both Java and JSP source file.
Redress tool is part of SuperLogging at http://www.ACElet.com. SuperLogging also
provides an open source wrapper Alog.java, which redirects log method calls to
your favorite logging package. Redress tool can rectify whereabouts information
on all Alog's method calls in your application. So, if you call Alog's log methods,
these calls will be rectified by Redress.
JDK 1.4 introduces a new utility package java.util.logging. The example in this
article is based on JDK logging. Log4J is a cousin of JDK logging. Log4J users
should have no difficulties to modify this example for Log4J. Both JDK logging
and Log4J are excellent logging software for single JVM.
Note: Redress tool rectifies method calls on Alog, not JDK logging. You need to
call Alog instead of JDK logging in your application.
Source code of Alog.java
The following is the source code of Alog's JDK logging version. It serves as an
library file and should be on your CLASSPATH:

* 1. modify this file to redirect to other logging packages. 
* 2. replace existing com.acelet.opensource.Alog with your modified one.

import com.acelet.opensource.logging.Alog;
public class Test {
public static void main(String argv[]){
Alog.log("Holle world", Alog.SEVERE, "wrongClassName", "wrongMethod",
"wrongFileName", -1);
How to run the test program
1. Compile Alog.java (JDK 1.4 or later, not before):
javac Alog.java
2. Download freeware Redress tool from http://ACElet.com/freeware.
3. Run Redress tool:
java -cp redress.jar Test.java
4. Check Test.java. The Alog.log method call should be rectified.
5. Run test program:
java Test
You should see log message with correct class name and method name.

Hi;
I found this code and would like to share it with you :
JCoDestination destination = JCoDestinationManager
.getDestination(DESTINATION_NAME2);
JCoFunction function = destination.getRepository().getFunction(
"RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH");
if (function == null)
throw new RuntimeException("RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH not found in SAP.");
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("FUNCNAME", "*");
function.getImportParameterList().setValue("GROUPNAME", "*");
try {
function.execute(destination);
JCoTable funcDetailsTable = function.getTableParameterList()
.getTable("FUNCTIONS");
int totalNoFunc = funcDetailsTable.getNumRows();
if (totalNoFunc > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < totalNoFunc; i++) {
System.out.println("Function Name: "
+ funcDetailsTable.getValue(i));
} catch (AbapException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
return;
System.out.println("RFC_FUNCTION_SEARCH finished");
It is working and retrieving FM.

Why has adobe made Illustrator so clunky, difficult and unfriendly to use?

Why has Adobe destroyed the workability of Illustrator? I've been working with Illustrator, professionally, since 1988 (and almost as long with Photoshop) and this 'Creative Cloud' incarnation is just a f******g DISASTER!!!! Do they deliberately set out to make it as difficult to use as possible? It's bad enough that you have to sign up to this 'Creative Cloud' nonsense, but do the idiots that design the software ever try to actually work with it?!!! Have they got a clue about workflow?!!!!!
There is ZERO customer service, and no way of giving feedback. The arrogance of Adobe is just astounding - almost as astounding as the breath-taking stupidity of the people who write the damned software. I just wish they'd stopped at Illustrator 10 - at least that was sensible and workable.
If someone can actually - I mean REALLY - contact Adobe, you can tell them from me that their software and company policies stink - as does their arrogant indifference to paying customers evidenced by the complete absence of customer support. Also, you can tell them that their software writers are ignorant, incompetent fools.

The poetic version would be that Adobe don't have a "vision" and simply are limping from version to version as long as they can make a buck with plugging on a handful of features every time. Specific to AI it's pretty clear that the software would have needed to be "reinvented" from the ground up 15 years ago. Similarly, the people responsible for its development now seem to prefer to waste their time with things like the barely workable new curve tool or those ridiculous MAX demos instead of tackling more fundamental issues like the atrocious and unreliable file format, import/ export handling, parametric editing and generative, reusable graphics, genuine 3D tools and whatnot.... Alas, things are as they are and thankfully there are other programs out there aplenty.

Saved an email yesterday in Adobe Reader, now where is it and how do I open that PDF?

saved an PDF email in Adobe Reader, now where is it and do I open it? It has job application that need to orient out?

x11 needs to be installed from the OS X install cd that shipped with your mbp (its burried in one of the folders, don't remember which off hand - sorry).
as for removing developer tools... personally, i wouldn't. if you ever plan on installing stuff from source via fink or darwinports or want to install apache/php for some reason, you'll need the developer tools. they do come in very hand, but if you are so incline to remove them, open up a terminal window (/Applications/Utilities) and issue the command
sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl
that should prompt you for your password. Just walk through it and it'll clear them out.
If you really want to use open office on os x, i'd highly suggest neooffice

My network on the time capsule has a "lock" by it so I know that it requires a password. My guest network has no "lock" by it so I am thinking that it is not locked and people could use it. How do I lock my guest network on my time capsule or delete it?

My Time Capsule had a guest network that does not have a "lock" sign by it. So I am thinking that other people can use my wireless internet. My other network does have a "lock" by it. How do I delete or lock the guest network? I obvioulsy am not a computer savy individual so please use laymans terms if you can help me. Please and thank you.

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

I can't install newest adobe reader version, OS X Yosemite and iTunes cannot be opened.

First I tried multiple times to install Adobe Reader's new update. It says:
Adobe Reader installation error
installer: Package name is Adobe Reader XI(11.0.09) installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed ( The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
Then for the OS X Yosemite's installation, it says
OS X Yosemite failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again.
I did so and the same message appeared again. (I also tried to install Mavericks 10.9.5 but since the Adobe Reader's problem, for some reason I can't to do any updates.)
Now I tried to open iTunes and it won't open as well.
iTunes cannot be opened.
I'm guessing it won't open because of the Yosemite update. I really don't know what to do. Help!
Extra info: I have the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and Webroot Security Anywhere Antivirus.

I only have English selected in my Languages. I've seen that as a suggested fix in the past.

I need help! I downloaded the adobe reader XI from the internet and I still cannot open my pdf file

I need your help I downloaded adobe reader Xl and I still cannot open my pdf files. Please help as soon as possible I need it for work

When I try to open the file it just states that adobe is not responding. the file open up to the top of the page of the document but I cannot scroll down to read the document. Please I hope you can help me I followed the instructions.
