Adobe steals your money by impeding a CHANGE IN LANGUAGE

Adobe has become a thief. You buy a product that by chance (you can't choose) is in Spanish and the Adobe thieves don't let you enter the license to continue using a test version because the test version is in English! You search the internet for a solution and the one posted by Adobe is not valid for the product, which is Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. You then go to the Control Panel to try and uninstall the test version and you find that the sole version installed is the one in Spanish while the only one that appears when you double-click Acrobat is the test one that you can't use after tomorrow because today is the last day of the test. Bandits!

Federico Platón: ya había desinstalado la versión de prueba e instalado el
fichero que Adobe me ha dado a descargar (para los demás lectore, su
xplicación no la había encontrado en ninguna otra parte que en su
respuesta, que es a posteriori, sólo después de haberme quejado la he
podido tener). Ahora puedo ejecutar la versión que me ha dado a descargar
Adobe porque el Setup de la descompresión del fichero descargado ha
aceptado, como debe, el número de serie que Adobe me ha dado con el vínculo
a la descarga.
Sin embargo Adobe sigue negándose a "aceptar la instalación" de un programa
que ha cobrado y que he validado con la clave de validación que me ha dado
Adobe y es lo que en realidad es el "número de serie". Ahora, cada vez que
ejecuto lo que ha instalado el fichero que me ha dado Adobe con el número
de serie que también me ha dado ambos juntos a cambio de cobrar, sale un
pop-up muy desagradable que dice que lo que ha instalado la descarga que me
ha dado Adobe (y que, fuera del Reader, Flash, Air y el Asistente de
Descargas, es evidentemente lo único que tengo de Adobe una vez
desinstalada la versión de prueba) no está en una lista desplegable que no
he fabricado yo sino Adobe (y efectivmente no lo está, y a mí qué). Y que
como no está, dice, no vale el número de serie que Adobe me ha dado para la
descarga que me ha dado Adobe con el número de serie que me ha dado Adobe y
con el que he hecho, como debe ser, la instalación. Tras lo cual, cada vez
que arranco la instalación, Adobe, que ha cobrado, no "valida" (qué diantre
es eso?) la instalación y me obliga a salir, sin el "acuerdo de Adobe con
la  instalación" (¿qué diantre es eso?),  de su propio pop-up desagradable
"sin aceptar" la compraventa que ha cobrado.
Veamos. El resultado final es que Adobe cobra, Adobe le da a uno lo que
quiere, uno instala lo que le da Adobe, pone el número de serie que le da
Adobe, y uno puede usar por su cuenta y riesgo lo instalado por Adobe pero
Adobe no acepta la instalación que hace el fichero que da "con"  el número
de serie que da y que es el que permite usarla (pero, como se puede
observar, sólo por cuenta y riesgo del cleinte). Adobe se queda con el
dinero sin aceptar la instalación del fichero que da con el número de serie
que da. Adobe cobra sin aceptar lo que ha vendido como la contrapartida
(definida unilateralmente por Adobe) de la venta cuyo precio ha cobrado.
Adobe no acepta la compraventa pero cobra. Adobe, ¿me sigue, Federico
Platón?, ... ¿quiere que le repita el primer mensaje?.

  • Verizon is anti-military and will steal your money.

    11/06/2013
      Verizon is obviously anti-military.  My story, as I am learning is just one of many horror stories the military has faced upon dealing with Verizon. How frustrating that our soldiers work so hard to fight for our country, to be forced to deal with businesses that have no appreciation for them whatsoever.
      We are really shocked at how we have been treated throughout this whole ordeal. We have been Verizon customers since before they were Verizon (back when they were still Alltel). I had always enjoyed my services with them and as a result extended my services with them to include home phone and cable when we lived in an area that provided such.  We had always had our account set up for automatic payment because we were aware of the amount and found this feature to be conveinent. In the 11 years with our service with them, we were never late on any bill.
      In early August 2013, we were stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana. Upon our arrival with our 3 children one of which was our 2 month preemie, we quickly realized our wireless service did not work in this area. On August 5th, 2013, I contacted Verizon and ask what were my options. They explained that they were aware of the situation in our area and had no problem releasing us from our contract with no early termination fees (ETF), due to the circumstances. The represenative even explained how to port my number over to another carrier, so that my number of 11 years wouldnt have to change. I was very happy with the outcome and even surprised with how helpful they were. The represenative I spoke with, even sent his Verizon email, claiming should I have "any" problems, to contact him and he would make sure they were resolved.  We recieved no further correspondence from Verizon.
      On September 7th, 2013, Verizon deducted $561 out of my account. We called them immediatly, I was told there were no notes of our being military and that I had cancelled my contract therefore was subject to early termination fees. Over the course of the following two weeks, I spoke to around 10-15 different represenatives. I was required to send in military documentation and address confirmation, I had to fax, forward, call etc. During those 1st two weeks I spent more than 20 hours on the phone with Verizon, sometimes on hold, sometimes dealing with represenatives that had no interest in helping resolve the situation. I spoke to one represenative that told me point blank, it was my own fault for not stopping the automatic payment, and didn't I get a bill". I explained that after my number was ported over to a local carrier, Verizon closed my account therefore rendering me unable to access my online billing account, therefore I had no idea this would happen. I also ask him, if I had stopped automatic billing how would that have stopped Verizon from claiming I owed something, that I obviously do not. One represenative refused to listen to me speak and would even claim that she couldn't hear me when I spoke, but her line miracously cleared whenever she wanted to speak. I tried contacting the original represenative, the one that had left the email. After almost a full week, he finally wrote back with some excuse about being on vacation and that he would forward to his supervisor. Finally, after weeks of phone calls, I was told they had verified that in fact I was military and lived in a location without service, therefore they would refund my money in 4-6 weeks! I explained to them this simply wasn't acceptable, they had taken our housing payment. We had just moved to the area and while awaiting housing had to live in a motel for a month and a half with three children, our account was dangerously low, when Verizon cleaned us out. We were scheduled to move into our home September 10th. We were forced to sale some of our household goods to make ends meet, while we awaited the return of "our" money from Verizon.
    Now today, is November 6th, 2013, we are 3 months into this ordeal with one day shy of being 2 months that Verizon still has our money. To date I have spoken to somewhere between 30-40 represeantives and have probably logged more than 100 hours on the telephone, being transferred to representavies, between departments, everyone passing the buck and no real resolution.  On October 10th, 2013, Verizon claims to have deposited $500 of the $561 back into my account, they told me to expect it within 24-72 hours, days passed and nothing. I called again and again, each time I was given a new time when it would magically appear into my account. Once a customer service represenative did say that she could see that it had "not" processed because it was not submitted correctly, so I was then transferred back to financial services who claimed they did not see the error and it in fact was in my bank. I have contacted my bank and they have no information and or money from Verizon whatsoever. Finally I was told that it could take 3-15 "business" days to show in my account, because "some banks take longer", therefore making the deadline, November 1st,2013. No surpises it still isn't there. I called again on November 1st, 2013, were I was told they had in fact found the mistake in paperwork again, and in fact it had "never" been submitted, but it had been corrected and to expect our money within 24-72 hours. There again, today is November 6th, 2013 and still no money. I have spent yet "another" hour and a half on the phone with Verizon, it has been "escalated" again, now I am being told that I may recieve my money in 4-6 weeks once it goes through accounts payable.
      I am flabbergasted. I have gotten angry, cried, been patient and a host of other emotions all behind Verizon stealing money that wasn't theirs. We like most American families are trying to make ends meet, our preemie child, requires more financial care than the average baby, for obvious reasons. That situation alone is very stressful on our family, being a military family can be stressful, moving, uprooting our lives and having my husband deploy or being sent out on missions, all of it stressful, yet we have companies such as Verizon who with no care, compassion or gratitude for our situations, treats their customers this way.  Now the holidays are upon us and there is no end in sight as to when we will actually have our own money back. The money my husband spent months away from his family and traveled to foreign lands, to fight for our rights as Americans to be treated fair and justly, and this is the treatment we have recieved from Verizon.
      Years of customer loyalty, and this is the end result. Hopefully, eventually, with God's grace we will have our own money back, but the real loss is the hours spent fighting for what was rightfully ours all along, could have been spent with my baby boy that was born 10 weeks too early and had to spend six of those in neonatal intensive care. That they can never repay.
    The sad truth is after sharing my story with other military families, I have learned our story is far from original. Apparently, Verizon has a reputation for not caring for their military families. I will certainly do my part to share our story to hopefully prevent others from dealing with such a terrible company.

    It is amazing how hard it is to contact anyone who can truly help you at Verizon.
    When you seem to get an answer, resolution to a problem. It disappears. I too am contacting Verizon in an attempt to resolve an issue. Promises are made and then nothing. When you call back, there are no notes in your file.
    One of the issues is multiple call centers. When you call you get bounced to whichever call center has capacity for your call. Each call center can not see notes made by another call center.  It is a never ending circle...I wish you luck!

  • Steal your money and your money even if you dont download it

    i got charged over $20 from a app that i never even see before and i looked them up and things like this is happening to other people too.
    im wondering how could a app that i never downloaded charge me money?

    Why is this app still in the App Store?  Come on, Apple--clearly something is seriously wrong here.  There are thousands of reports of problems all over the Internet.  Kick Sega out of the App Store!

  • HT204088 Why am I being charged three times for an game that I purchased? Plus, there is nothing in your website to address this problem. It makes me feel like this company is just trying to steal my money if I do not look or question my billing account.

    How do I get extra charges credited back to my account? I was over charged three times on an app I bought.

    So any time any company accidentally charges you 2-3 times, they are trying to steal your money? In most cases, they fix it on their own after they catch it. If you want to make them aware of the issue, contact iTunes Support: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • A FREE game called "We Farm" steals real money from iTunes account?

    I think Apple should take a serious look on this game - "We Farm" and many others. Although it is a free game, but actually it can steal your money from your iTunes account during your kids playing the game.
    My son just played the game for about 10 mins, then my iTunes account was charged for $29.70 for three purchases of some bottles. This is some kind of tricks named Top in App Purchases (Finally I know what it is) that Apple should not allow it happened; since it doesn't need you to punch in the password again to confirm payment.
    Now I know that many free games also has the function of Top in App Purchases; so everyone should be very careful when downloading these free games. May be Apple would like to see these things happen again and again because the money steal from our iTunes account with a large portion goes to Apple's pocket.

    I understand what you are saying. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their purchases and for their children. Just the same it seems like anytime $ is going to come out of your itunes account it should require your itunes account password and Apple should require this from 3rd party app developers. I can see parents letting their kids play with the ipad....they download a free game app because their parents said that they can if it's free....and then they go on to play it, make purchases and rack up $100 or $200 dollars because the parents are not paying attention to their kids and are letting the ipad "babysit" them....just like many parents let the TV "babysit" their kids. I'm not saying it's right....just that you can't expect every parent in the world to win the "Best Parent in the World" prize.
    If I were them - I'd call up Apple Customer Relations to see about getting the $ back or at least getting the app developer to put some sort of impediment in the way of very small children making purchases on the ipad.

  • Why did itunes steal my money

    I bought a tv episode for $1.99, but itunes charged me $2.15.
    I also bought 4 apps for 99 cents each, but itunes charged me $1.07 each
    Why is itunes charging me extra money for stuff?

    Why do you accuse people of stealing your money without understanding what has happened?
    Why would you do this?
    Maybe you should have a basic understanding before making accusations of theft.

  • How to change application language

    I upgraded my system iOS5 to iOS6 during a trip to Korea.
    I have my Itunes now with the Korean language!!
    How can I change it back to English??
    Thanks for your time

    Hello,
    you can easily change the language in MAS by clicking at the combo button at the toolbar. By default it's English. If you don't see the language combo button, you can evoke it by right clicking at the toolbar and chosing "language".
    After changing language to Czech, all changes on fields are stored correctly and will appear after generating on the Mobile Sales Client in the desired language.

  • Adobe is stealing my money and I cannot find a way to stop it

    Please help!
    For the longest time I have been paying $49 every month without being able to use my Adobe creative cloud subscription, and now I have finally had enough. Today when trying to figure out why my account was dormant I realised that somehow my account has been associated with the wrong country (UK), even though I have never even been to the United Kingdom. After hours of trying to find a solution or a call centre number on Adobe.com I have still not had any luck in resolving the issue. Finally I ordered a new Adobe CC subscription with my husband's Adobe ID and signed up for yet another $49 plan which means in essence now I'm paying double!
    Please can someone get in touch to resolve this.
    AND PLEASE CAN ADOBE STOP STEALING MY MONEY?
    Ideally I would like a full refund, but at least I would like Adobe to stop pissing away my cash.
    I eagerly await your response.
    Your's in agony

    Requiring me to re-train my staff to write improper code is not only counter productive and improper, but you want to charge me money for the inconvenience and call it a convenient FEATURE. ...

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
    I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.
