CC on Mac OS 10.8.5 not working or installing; Tech Support Useless or Non-Responsive

I've used Adobe Products since '95. I am very comfortable with the "Industry Standard" of applications Adobe has offered up to now. I have a MacBook Pro that has happily run CS4-6 and felt that CC would be a good way to save a little $$ with a subscription rather than a multi-thousand dollar purchase every time I needed to upgrade.
I've been trying for 4 or 5 days now to get two major issues rectified:
Photoshop CS6 (downloaded through CC Subscription) Type Tool will not initialize. When I try to get Type Tool to work, Photoshop crashes and sends an error report.
With CS6 not able to add Type to images I try to install Photoshop CC. CC will not install. I contact Tech Support over the course of 3 days and have multiple people have access to my computer and no resolution. File Folders created for no reason, Admin Priviledges altered, Security Permissions changed and a new dummy profile for Adobe to access created. Nothing. CC Desktop Manager won't even install.
For a short period of time NONE of my Adobe products would even turn on. Received error msg that Desktop Manager was corrupt or non-existent.
This is my livelyhood. I'm self-employed and am now telling clients that I have to push back their deadlines because my software is broken and Adobe (of all companies) can't seem to fix it. Worse off, I was told that someone would call me on Friday to address these issues and no call.
I know other people are suffering through this because the forum is full of the exact same issue Windows and Mac OS. Adobe needs to fix the issues NOW and fire whomever you've outsourced your support to. They are terrible.
Who do I contact to get a refund for the last month? I've almost lost $600 worth of work in a week because of this, I don't feel I should have to pay the $50 for this month.
**I'd like to add, I've been on the phone with support for no less than 8 hours and Online Chat support for 4 more hours**

  • My touch pad is not working and HP tech support has already tried uploading a driver update. Help

    HP Pavilion g6 notebook pc, windows 7 64-bit. I have two issues with my brand new computer. I have recieve a low disk space error when I try to back up my computer and my touch pad moves to the edges when I tap the touch pad and often I have to tap the touch pad more than once to get it to respond.

    I have also recently also updated my Bios from version 1.90 to version 2.1. After that my touchpad is also not working. I have tried to install the latest driver from toshiba, and from Synaptics, but nothing works. My device is recognized in the control panel, but does not respond to any commands. I have also searched for possible solutions, but have found nothing. I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-21H. I also use my Touchpad often, and I would also like to downgrade my Bios, because I think that it will take a while before a new Bios comes out.

  • Keyboard and Mousepad does not work after installing windows support software.

    I was able to successfully install windows 8.1 64bit on an late 2012 iMac. I went through the installation just fine with the mousepad and keyboard. I went into the desktop and open up the files and went to computer to download the windows support software. After it was done installing the windows support software, my mouse and my keyboard stopped working completely. I couldn't even click "finish" on the download. I turned the computer off by pressing the power button, then turned it back on. I held the option key and the Macintosh HD and Windows showed up. I turned the mousepad and keyboard back on and it was working again. So I clicked on Windows and as I enter the startup screen, the mouse and keyboard  stopped working again.
    Computer: iMac 21.5 in. late 2012
    Used Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
    The keyboard and mousepad that I have is  bluetooth.

    Are you saying that you bought the game from the App store and made another copy onto a dvd so you can play it on another computer too?  If so, you can not do that, you have to buy it again for the other computer.

    Well I didn't enter a hostname from my ISP, but I did need to enter as a Host Domain the sub-domain (CNAME) that we use for our server. Don't know all the proper terminology, but I hope that's clear enough to someone to help. As soon as I did that, it worked again.

  • Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    Mac mail search function is not working. Any search term returns all records.

    hi eric. many thanks.
    i will have to read these links closer but what i meant to say is that the hard drive space that was being taken up seemed like it suddenly jumped way up because i had just gotten through a process in the last month where i am storing all my My Documents data on my Mac Pro. i am doing this in order to decide whether i should just keep it ALL on my Mac Pro and use ChronoSync to sync /some/ of it to my MBP.
    so if i look in the Documents folder on my Mac Pro i have a ton of folders that i have created with a ton of data. if i look in the Documents folder on my MBP there are NO folders that have data in them that i created. there are other folders such as folders that various software created but what i mean to point out is that there was a LOT of available space on my HD until recently.
    i am wondering if there is some way that running the Mail re-index (it then ran some kind of "Importing" routine) or by syncing my Photostream to the MBP caused a huge jump in data on this drive. if it is the photostream sync i can just take this off or see if it will sync more selectively. if it is something to do with mac mail jumping in size i am not sure why this would happen or what to do about it.
    does that question make sense?
    i mean, before i did these two operations my recollection is that i would have had 130 GB on the hard drive (really just guessing here) and now there is like 218 GB on the hard drive and i don't know where all this came from...

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • The keys on my mac book pro (2009) are not working properly, both letters and numbers.  I think I pressed something,but I cannot find a numlock key or other to undo this problem

    Both the letters and numbers on my mac book pro (2009) are not working correctly, but the caplocks key still lights up,the delete key is like a back key,the o key is enter,etc. I think I must of pressed a button but I cannot find numlock or the action to fix it back to normal.
    Need Help Please

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
