EA6500 completely disappointing, erratic performance, waste of time and money, return it
Bought this late last year, paid almost $200 for up to date features, dual band and fast speed. This is apiece of junk. Firmware up to date too.
Intermittent both WIFI and wired connections. Randomly drops WIFI and wired connections and then requires full power down to reset. Waste of my time to do so 2 or 3 times each week. Calls to tech support direct me to TURN OFF THE FEATURES (prioritization, parental control) included in it. Really? For $200 why should I have too. And they are ALREADY off and it chugs along inconsistently.
Saved box and receipt and am returning it. Need advice what to buy now. Have had WIFI at home for 10 years, this was my 3rd router. Had more problem in a few weeks than I had in a decade with the other 2 and they were MUCH cheaper.
Hi vid81,
Have you ever tried to call tech support? If you did, you probably had a bad router. I suggest the newest from Linksys WRT1900ac. Check this out.

Serious battery issues, apple support waste of time and money!
My Mac Book Pro 17" has a serious battery issue it holds a charge for a hour or less, and does not always charge. Telephone apple support and all they say is take it to one of there shops to get it tested that will cost me about £40 in train fare and take a day at least. Ive had the Mac since September 2011 i never started using it until late December 2011. A 3 year warranty for what!!!!! And it overheats..... Apple good bye your becoming worse the Microsoft your just making money out of constant yearly updates/releases of your products, Updates which becoming boring!
The thing is you pay for a warranty and unless you live close to a Authrorised test centre etc, then it cost you more in time and money for travel!
I'm really not clear on what you're asking Apple to do. You don't have to go to an Apple store, you can go to any Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). Your warranty is still completely valid. You can find them here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
The title of your thread says Apple support is a waste of time and money. What would have preferred that they do? If you are too far from an Apple store or AASP, you can let them know that and they will usually send you out a box so you can ship your machine back to them so they can check it out. Of course you'll be completely without your machine during that time.
You're comment contains quite a bit of bashing for something which Apple will clearly resolve. Unfortunately, if you live in a remote area where there are no Apple stores or AASPs and you dont' want to send it in, there isn't anything anyone can do to help you. -
what is up with this err = 9006? is there any solutions, this is ridiculous considering the time and money i'm wasting (mostly the time) i have seen no solutions thus far.
I've found the following on that page for error 9006 :

People save your time and money and run for the hills!!! Verizon wireless is a joke and worse than any other wireless company I have ever dealt with!! They slow your data down after the 1st GB and then charge you outrageously if you run over, and god forbid your crappy phone breaks and you need to upgrade or try to add a line. Please do yourself and your family a favor and go to Sprint or AT&T, at least they tell you upfront your first bill will be $500 for 2 days of service on the cycle. I will never use Verizon again and I hope they crack down on these losers like they did AT&T!!!!
Good rant, but it helps others more if you tell the specifics. Certainly your experience is not universal, but then again it is hard to know exactly what your experience was. $500 is a lot of overage if that is what you are indicating. It also helps to know what happened to you that was not in the contract that you could have predicated ahead of time.

Misled and disappointed - don't waste your time with this "player"
Frankly, I feel extremely misled by the description of AMP on its product page. Calling it a Media Player and all the talk of being able to watch what you want, when you want and streaming and downloading video - all you can *actually* do is watch stuff from the signed up content providers, or that you've already got on your hard drive (and have presumably got a player for already, that will almost certainly take up a lot less screen estate than this beast). Oh, and there's some mention of adding RSS feeds of videos - though looking at other posts here whether that works is debatable. Anything else might as well not exist.
I had hoped that it would be a way of watching embedded streamed flash videos without having to have the whole webpage that they're on open - this would give you just the video, so would be more compact, and would be resizeable so you could watch it at any size you liked, not just the default or full-screen. After all, coming from Adobe, there would be no problem about having to reverse engineer the RTMP format.
Maybe even (though I thought it unlikely) being able to download videos where the provider permitted it - no worry though, there are other tools for that.
Also - the design. A massive window, not resizeable at all except to minimise / maximise. Appalling contrast - it's like being in a cave, everything's so black. I couldn't even see that there were scroll bars - just waved my mouse around where I thought they should be.
It's like having the worst, most useless part of RealPlayer (the download centre, or whatever they call it) and not the player itself. This is *not* a media player - a client, maybe.
Frankly, the only reason I can see for installing this is if there is some content that it has that you can't get anywhere else. If not, don't waste your time - use something else.
Like I say, I'm disappointed. I feel like I've been lied to and had my time wasted. Unless I'm *really* missing something??
Now we'll see how easily it uninstalls..."DITTO".

HT1725 Dowon loads from store never work.... wasted time and money
Dowon loads from store never work.... wasted time and money
Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem. -
O2 Live Chat- waste of time and full of empty promises and lies.
I just wanted to share with you my experience of 'problem resolution / customer care' with o2. This post is directly linked with my as yet unresolved previous post titled 'lack of support from o2 when things go wrong.' Although this is shown as resolved, trust me, it is not !! Below are exerts from the 'Live Chat' sessions that I have had with o2. For fun, you could play spot the offer of a promise, and then try to find where this has been upheld by o2. (to save you wasting your time looking, I'll tell you now, there are none) Thought the matter had been resolved, it looks good, but looks can be deceiving……….o2: I've arranged the credit amount for you.o2: I've forwarded your details to our Support team and filled the Consumer credit request form for you nowo2: And I'm waiving off the amount of cancellation fee £104 for you now.o2: Please be with me while I do this for you now.Me: ??? that is great. I really do appreciate your help. I'll stay connected.o2: Thanks.o2: Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.o2: I can appreciate how frustrating this may be for you.o2: I've done this for you now.02: This will be processed for you in next 3 days and You'll receive the credit in the next bill .o2: Yes, be assured and you can trust me. I've personally arranged this for you now. I hope I've resolved your query to your satisfaction. After seeing that the money has NOT been refunded onto my bill as of yet……………………. o2: Thanks for waiting.o2: You'll receive the refund in next bill.Me: So what does this mean, that you will take 105 from my account on 2nd May and then refund it a month later?o2: Yes.Me: But that is crazy, you have not claimed the money yet, so still have time to apply the credit and thus cancel the bill. Why should you have 105 pounds of my money for one month, when you have already agreed to refund it? This just does not make sense.o2: It's already generated and the request is also been made.o2: I'll request you to call our customer service number for the same. The next month and the next bill, and ………………………… still no refund……….. o2: I'm sorry the refund isn't showing on your account. I understand that this has been stressful for you. Don't worry, I'll ensure that after today, this is sorted for you once and for all.O2: Ken, your details on the previous contract were with phones4u and I'm not able to refund it on that account at the moment. I can see the bill for the termination charge though.o2: Now, would it be fine, if I put the credit on your current account that you've signed up the new contract for?o2: This credit balance can be adjusted with your future bills or I can transfer it to your bank account directly from my end.Me: can you please transfer it directly to my bank from your end please, as it has been outstanding now for over a month, and I don't want it outstanding for longer.o2: Yes, absolutely. I'll do this for you.Me: Thanks, and out of interest why did (previous o2 customer care employee) not do this at the start. Either this or just cancelled the bill that had been created for this amount. This would have saved a lot of time and stress on my behalf in having to chase this now for the third time-albeit I will state again (third customer care employee who I am talking with today) that I know this is not your fault- but I am sure you can understand me being unhappy about this.o2: What I'll do for you is keep an eye on your account from my end and ensure that the credit balance is in your bank account immediately after the next bill is adjusted.o2: Yes, I can understand that this has been stressful for you Ken and I'm sorry that (previous o2 customer care employee) didn't do this for you.o2: I'll try my best to get this transferred to your bank account as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the trouble you've had to go through to get this sorted. Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down.Me: Okay, I'm happy to do that, but do you have a time frame for this being sorted. I appreciate that you are doing your best, but the phrase 'as soon as possible' is rather open ended.o2: I'll email you by the end of day to tell you when the amount will be in your bank account. Would that be fine? Despite the ‘Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down,’ no e-mail and no refund to my bank account so here we go again……………………………… o2: I've checked and can see that we have already credited the £105.50 to your O2 account which is still in the recent charges section of your bill and will reflect on your next bill.Me: okay, but as per my chat with ??? , that will be another month and ??? said that he could / would arrange to have the money paid back into my bank accountMe: He also said that he would send me an e-mail later that day re when the money would be paid back. However, by the looks of it this has not be done, because I certainly have not received any e-mails from ???.o2: I'm sorry, you'll have to call us on 202 free from your phone to get the amount transferred onto your bank account as due to the security reasons, the bank account details can't be shared online.Me: Can you provide me with details as to who I should further my complaint to, and do you have a legal department that I should contact if I proceed with this to the small claims courto2: I'm really sorry ken.o2: I can understand now what you are feeling.o2: But please don't take us wrong. I'll definitely add a note to your account and will see that your complaint is soon resolved.o2: You can email our complaints team [email protected]: Will someone from your complaints dept be able to call me tomorrow. If they can then I will happily speak with them. But I feel that I would be wasting my time to contact / e-mail them.o2: As I'm from an online chat team, I won't be able to arrange a callback from them.o2: But I'll request you to call us on 202 free from your phone and you can speak to a manager and resolve your complaint. The above are exerts only from the live chat sessions thus far, as I would not want to post the whole sessions for fear of crashing the system. I have also removed employee names, as I believe that o2 do this anyway when they edit these posts. Please let me know if you have received poor service also, as I am currently seeking to take this further and one option could be to contact someone such as Watchdog from the BBC, thus others may not end up with o2 and this level of poor service.
Couldn't have put it better myself. I have a 24 month contract with O2, £37 a month for the iPhone 4s. My iPhone 4s was faulty, Apple advised me it was a common hardware problem they were aware of and that I should contact O2. The first advisor I spoke to was very helpful. Agreed to swap my phone for a reconditioned 4s free of charge. I asked if I could pay extra for the iPhone 5 and he agreed to sell me a reconditioned handset for £75 and a doorstep swap for my old phone. At first I thought this was fantastic and said yes. Later on, my partner reminded me that I'm paying £900 for a 2 year contract, and for a phone that is supposed to remain fit for purpose for that period (as per the Sales of Goods Act). I started to think they should have provided me with a brand new phone as the fault was not due to me, but due to a common hardware issue. I became even more annoyed when I realised £75 for a second hand phone on top of what I'm paying in my contract was crazy. I contact O2 and explained this matter at length. No joy. Now - that problem might be a matter of opinion, but what happened next was disasterous. The following day I met with the delivery driver, who handed me a grubby iPhone 5 - no case, no box, not so much as a plastic bag. It was covered in some kind of white dust/powder and dirty with fingerprints. The more I looked at the phone the more I felt I'd been dooped. When I went to charge the phone, I realised my old iphone 4s charger didn't fit. I had no idea I needed a new charger and nobody advised me. When I went to insert my sim card, I realised that wasn't going to fit either. No one had advised me. I didn't even get the fork to open the sim card slide. So there I was, stuck without a phone. I opened the live chat. After explaining myself at length, I got a series of "Please hold while I do my best to try to sort this problem for you now" and loads of other cheesey meaningless lines. By this stage I was furious. When the person came back to talk to me, he advised I borrow a friend's charger to use my phone. I explained there was no one and I needed to use my phone that night. I also explained about the sim card, and the dirty phone and lack of box etc. They kept fobbing me off and telling me they would send me a charger, totally ignoring the fact this transaction was unacceptable. I got nowhere, so I hung up. I went to the O2 store to get a nano sim. I explained the situation to the advisor, and he told me to go home and use the Swap My Sim page. Given that I'd explained the entire situation to him, I expected everything would be ok. No. Turned out I needed my old phone and old sim to do this. Back to the live chat. I explained the whole situation to the new advisor and hoped for the best. I went round in circles with him for about half an hour before he got the gist of my issue. That seems to be the general vibe from live chat - round and round in circles, nobody listenting properly and cheesy lines like "my heartiest thanks". My whole situation has made me think I'll leave O2 when my contract expires. Better with a tin can and a string.

CHARGED TIME AND MONEY FOR BEING MISINFORMED-COMPLAINT
Today I received my Verizon Wireless bill and I noticed that I was being charge overage for data usage of $45.00 (3 X $15.00 per 250mb over). Now I've been with Verizon for over 10yrs and always loved the service and plans that they've provided until recently.I switched to the lowest plan of $45 per line w/250mb of data due to my financial situation currently. I called and spoke to a rep to see about the overage charges, but was told before I could be transferred to dept that handles that issue would need to setup arrangements to pay due amount. I let the rep know that I do have arrangements setup and should be noted. She quickly stated that my arrangements was for last months bill and I would need to setup arrangements for the current. I gave her amount and date that I would be able to pay, which she informed me that the arrangements would not be able to guarantee a continuation of my service. I asked her why was I able to setup arrangement with the previous rep for a lesser amount plus more time and my service would continue as long as I kept my agreement, but she's not able to do the same. She sold cause my account would continue to be behind cause another payment would be coming due as I'm paying off the previous month. I asked to speak to retention dept, which I was told that she couldn't transfer me, but would get me a supervisor to see what they could do for me. I spoke to the supervisor, which I again was told the exact same thing as the previous rep had already discussed and felt like I wasn't getting anywhere now. I requested to speak to retention at this point and was transferred. The young man I spoke to stated off very pleasant and when I told him my situation, seemed like he was more then willing to help. I asked for to be able to pay an amount and gave a date again, which he stated that he couldn't meet the arrangements cause would put account too far past due and lines would be interrupted at point. I thanks him for the explanation and wanted to see about setting up better arrangements. I gave another amount which was shot down again. Then he offered to suspend my account until I could caught up the bill to help me out. Really???? I let him know that he needed to be more realistic and see how you really can live w/o a cell phone in this day and era. At this point, I felt like he wasn't giving me anything to work with and was only concerned about me paying the bill. I quickly let him know that although I do love Verizon service, they're not the cheapest out there and had several other options to choose from with other providers. After we both went back and forth trying to see how wore the bigger pants, we both came to a agreement to settle my bill within 2 payments broke up. Now I've been on the phone for about 45mins and still yet to even speak to someone about the original issue I was calling about. Finally, I was being transferred to CS dept. While holding, I was able to get into the Family Base setting and set limits on the 2 phone under me to block usage once 250mb limit was reached. I got a rep by the name of Christian and explained to him about the overage charges that I was charged on my bill and that I signed up for the Family Base feature to block overage usage, cause when I switched to this new plan I was told that I couldn't block limit on data for my plan cause was too low and would have to move up to a plane with lines at least 500mb. I told him that's the reason why I signed up for the Family Base cause it stated that would block data usage once limit reach and thought would do automatically since they bill me automatically when I go over. He said that is correct, that I'm not able to set a block on data overage under 500mb. I let him know that's not the cause and that I was able to setup usage block on phone online, but again I didn't know I had too or that I could, cause I was misinformed by the previous rep, just as he was misinforming me again and asked that I be credited $45.00 for being misinformed. He said that he would see what he could do and offered to take 25% off the overage changes. I said, no I believe that I need to be credited the full amount due to being misinformed by previous rep and now him. I explained to him that I believe this new planned was rolled out before they could make some adjustments to some of the features and that's why the limit wasn't available to be set at the time I switched my plan or on the Family Base feature until a later date. So Christian then said that he could give a $20.00 credit to fees. Again, I explained to him that I shouldn't have to pay for being misinformed and requested to speak to a supervisor. He tried to tell me that a supervisor wouldn't be able to give me anymore credit and that would take a long time to speak to one. I still insisted on speaking to one. At this point, I've now been on the phone 1hr 30mins and was placed on hold. Christian came to the line a couple of times letting me know that he was still waiting on a supervisor, which I let him know that was fine. He then came back to the line and told me that he had reviewed the account w/supervisor and that they credited $20.00 and that was the best that could be done cause data was used. I asked him, if the supervisor was reviewing the account with him, why wasn't I able to speak to them as I requested? So, I'm placed on hold again and after about 10mins was finally placed on line with Kim ID#159079, so I explained my situation and feelings towards being misinformed and how I believe that I shouldn't have to be help accountable if I'm being misinformed by reps about features. From there she went right in and told me that the credit that I was giving was more than enough and that Christian went over what he was supposed to do already and that no other credit would be offered to my account. Now that I see that I've wasted my time, I asked for her ID and Christians ID info. She gave me her's, but decline to give me his and said that if I didn't get it at the time I was talking to him, that she wasn't authorized to give his cause was sensitive information...??? You're a supervisor and I know working in a call center myself, that's the reason why your given ID# so you don't to give out you true info. Needless to say I spent 1hr 51mins on the line for a $20.00 credit for being misinformed, which is less the amount I get paid on my real job. Very disappointing. Can someone please help better my situation and Verizon experience???
Simply because you disagree with the amount of credit they have given you does not mean that they will give you more, or that you deserve more. If going over your data allowance is that important to you, you should have kept better track of your usage. You can place a counter on your home screen which tells you how much you have used. It isn't up to the minute accurate, but you would certainly have been aware that you had used 4 times your monthly allowance.
Whether or not you were misinformed about usage limits being available, you used 4 times your monthly allowance. Take some responsibility, keep track of your usage. It is not hard to do.
Additionally, Verizon expects you to keep up to date on your bill. Yes, they will give you a break when you get an overage and request a payment schedule, but when you call the very next month in order to do the same they are going to be a bit more strict on their terms because they do not want this to become a pattern. If you would have taken a fraction of that overage, you could have stepped up to the next level of service and been able to cover all of your usage. This is what Verizon expects of you if you have an overage. You should reevaluate your usage habits and change your allowance OR rein in your usage to meet your current allowance. If you fail to rein in your usage to meet your current allowance, I would not expect Verizon to be as lenient with payments for a what appears to be a chronic overage patttern when simply increasing your allowance would have lowered your bill in the first place. -
I dont understand creating classes they seem a waste of time and efficiency
I dont understand why we would want to create classes with constructors and get and set statements... I know that VB and Java did not create these just to have us writing extra code so I am missing something in my thinking.
I read about data hiding and that I understand I guess...but everytime my professors want me to create a class then create an object from that class to access it I dont really get it. I know how to do the basics of it but I can do all of it in my main or the primary class whats the benefit of creating a whole entire class such as the following?
Everytime I get an assignment and they are like create a class and I try to rack my head for a good idea but the nearest analogy I can come up with is this... creating your own class seems like one of those old straws you drink out of with all the loops, yes you can make it go around in a big loop but why waste time? you want to get to point A to point B so create the most efficient way to get there if possible.
I am sure the problem is I am not seeing something and there is some logic missing but I just am getting irritated as I am not seeing it and I am finding it, its like I add an extra obstacle course to my code for no other reason than to run through a bunch of extra tasks that I could perform in my main class or main.
input is welcome to help me arrive at some type of enlightenment thanks
Class may not be the correct wording for this as I know we have to have a class but what I mean is a non application class. The class I have below goes with another class that actually does a lot of stuff but I am forced to push data through this class that basically does nothing but run water through some different pipes if you will. To me thats a waste when I can do everything in my original class which was called menu that I am messing with and that creates an array for a user who wants to keep a list of his items and prices of those items in inventory.
public class Item
private String itemName;
private double itemPrice;
public Item()
public Item (String item, double price)
setName(item);
setPrice(price);
public String getName()

Edited by: Bricatw on Oct 30, 2009 10:33 PMWhat I was plugging into it and please forgive the code as its not finished... (I am still messing with it) its just for learning and I am required to have certain parts in the Item Class and Certain parts in the Menu class..... But you it pushes through the input to the java bean.... in a case like this I just dont see the need for doing it not that I can think of anyway.
import java.util.Scanner;//my imports for scanner so can read from the screen
import java.util.*;//imports for my array I used astrix to just import it all as the book said it does not have any negative affects.
public class Menu //My application class Menu that contains my main
public static void main(String[] args)//Main method
final int NUMBER_Of_Elements = 30; //created a symbolic constant so that I only have to change the constant
//to edit the size of the array if I should want to change it.
Item[]inventory = new Item[NUMBER_Of_Elements];//I create a new array object with the constant as the number of elements.
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);//created object from the scanner class used to get input from the console screen.
System.out.println("Please enter Item on first line and price on second line.");//outputted text to prompt user and give instructions.
System.out.println("Enter STOP to exit");//instructions on how to exit the program. I would have rather used a different
//word than stop here. If my choice I would have used "exit" as its more widely used and to promote uniformity.
int count;//count variable used to count my loops very important as we use it to control our arrays and loops here.
double price;//our variable that we plug in values from the user via the console.
String item;//same as previously mentioned for the "price"
System.out.println("Wings Coffee Shop Menu");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Menu Item Price");
for (count=0; count<inventory.length; ++count)//This is our for loop it uses the length method to control how many times
//it runs. In this case inventory.length = 30 elements so would run 30 times unless it stopped early.
item = sc.nextLine();//reads the input from console into the item variable.
if(item.equalsIgnoreCase("STOP"))//if statement that states if = stop (ignores case sensitivity) then it will break out of the loop.
break;//the break command which is executed if the if statement is true.
price = Double.parseDouble(sc.nextLine());//
inventory[count]= new Item(item, price);
Item Call = new Item(item, price);
System.out.printf("%-13s %.2f\n", Call.getName(), Call.getPrice());
System.out.println("Wings Coffee Shop Menu");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Menu Item Price");
// for(int x = 0; x < count; ++x)
// System.out.printf("%15s\n",inventory[x].toString());
// System.out.printf("%-13s %.2f\n", Call.getName(), Call.getPrice());
// String[] namesOfItems = {"Coffee", "Milk", "Soda", "Bagel", "Croissant", "Donut"};
// double[] prices = {3.99, 2.99, 2.49, 2.99, 2.49, 1.99};
// for(int x = 0; x < prices.length; ++x)
// System.out.printf("%-13s %.2f\n", namesOfItems[x], prices[x]);
// Item arrayPrice = new Item(); HOW COME I CANNOT CREATE THIS OBJECT?
// Item call = new Item ();
// Item Call = new Item("item", 4.9);

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@
I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .

Ray tracer failed to launch error is costing me time and money
Add me to the legion of people angry about this bug. Doing a search for it here and everywhere else basically leads me to the conclusion that Adobe knows about this problem and does nothing about it to fix it. I'm working on a project for a client with a deadline that's coming in a few days, and I have to constantly close AE and open it again, sometimes even reboot, to get it to work for a few minutes, and then it crashes again. So something that I could have been close to finish by now, I'm still not half way through because of this horrible bug that Adobe doesn't fix. Of course some people can't complain because they're running it on an unsupported card, but I'm running it on a GTX570 with 1.2 GB of RAM, so there's no reason why it shouldn't work. The machine also has an i7 3930k CPU with 32 GB of very fast RAM, and it's a fresh installation of Windows 8.1 Pro from less than a week ago, with all the latest drivers.
The project is very simple, a solid layer acting as a floor with a grid generator, a layer of text, and about 8 pictures sitting a few pixels above the floor. Nothing overly complicated, and it still crashes all the time. And this is not even a 1080p project, it's 720p.
And to add insult to injury, After Effects does not respect a custom layout when there was a comp viewer in the secondary monitor, so each time I restart AE I have to open a new comp viewer, drag it to the second monitor and resize it. Did nobody at Adobe think that people would be using two comp windows open at the same time, one in each monitor?
Adobe should focus less on adding new flashy features and instead making their software reliable, and not force people to buy CC. They should fix CS6.I am having the same issue, though today I tried something that helped a lot. I am working on a mac pro with a flashed Quadro FX 580 and a slower Quadro 4000 card, and two displays. I've always plugged one display into each of the cards and lately frequently gotten the "Ray Tracer failed to launch" error. Today I plugged both displays into the less-powerful graphics card, leaving the 580 untaxed by running a monitor and so presumably entirely free for Ray Tracing. And so far today I haven't gotten the error we both know too well. You mention being on a PC and don't mention having two cards, so this may not help you. But if you still have the card you swapped out for your 570 and can pop it in your rig it might be worth a try.

Hi, as I said in the statement, my iPhone4 is unlocked, bought in the US on July 27th last year. I had this problem before so I had it returned to the USA as they would not do anything with it here in Hungary. I got a new one without extended warranty so it would expire in a week or so. And the same problem came up again a few days ago. I try to send sms, or open mail, p r use facebook, the apps quit on me while typing sms or chatting. I turn the phone off and on but it wont help. What should I do?
Thanks,
TamásBasics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try each of these. -
As a teacher, what should I invest my time and money learning?
I am teaching high school photography next fall and want to be certified in Photoshop. I'm fairly comfortable working in Elements 12 but wondering if I should study CS 6 and join the creative cloud? Any suggestions on where I can get the training online? Thank you
If you are teaching HighSchool photography - then odds are pretty good that your students will have Photoshop (one way or another) and be relatively familiar with it already (at least for posting to instagram/pinterest/facebook). Talking down to them and trying to teach Elements might not go over well.
(I know my niece's middle school taught Photoshop classes - which still feels weird from a "wait, they're teaching MY works and quoting ME in middle school!" perspective)
For online training, I'd start at lynda.com
There are several other sites with online training, and conferences/seminars with training in a variety of Photoshop uses, plus a lot of books ("Photoshop for Photographers" by Martin Evening would be a good tome to start with). Many community colleges also teach classes in basic Photoshop usage - but the quality of those classes varies pretty widely. -
SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE HELP!!!
I have had no problems editing Red Epic 4K R3D files in the past revisions of Premier CC but ever since creative cloud updated me to the latest Premier CC 2014 (8.0.1) I cant get any serious work done as my system is crashing on startup, or after a few minutes of work, freezing on playback at times, giving me artifacts at times and is just a miserable and frustrating experience I can get NOTHING done with!!!
How could Adobe release a piece of so called professional software like this with these now obvious MAJOR issues so many of us are experiencing, wasting massive time and money for all of its users and how can I get this running properly and stable as our livelihoods depend on this software to work and thats what we pay Adobe for ???
I am currently working on :
Mac OSX 10.9.3
Mac Pro 5,1 Tower
Nvidia GTX 660 2GB Graphics card
Cuda Drivers 6.0.37
I use a SSD swap drive and boot drive of 1/2 TB
I have a 6TB internal Raid for all my media files
I am editing 4K Red R3D files in a 4K timeline that I had no problem editing in previous version of Premier CC ???
If Adobe would have thought before changing the file compatibility with the new Premier Pro CC 2014 where you cant load a file updated to this new version back into Premier Pro CC previous revision or included some kind of import / export to and from previous versions I think we would all at least be operational again right now until Adobe can fix its errors in this new revision but they obviously didn't care to think about compatibility, safeguards for users and just adding more new features with a new file format in a buggy piece of software?
I have wasted days now on trying to solve these problems following other users in this forums suggestions including the following listed below:
• Reinstalled my OS downgrading to 10.9.3 originally thinking it was something OS related since I updated to 10.9.4 around the same time this all started happening
• Uninstalled / reinstalled Premier Pro CC 2014
• I have updated my permissions to read/write on my main user account on the Adobe Library files
• I have updated my permission to read/write on my main user account on my overall drive
• I have reverted my CUDA drivers back one revision as these were recently updated as well
I AM TIRED AND FRUSTRATED WITH ALL OF THIS NONSENSE WHEN I JUST NEED TO EDIT SO CAN SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON ALL OF THIS AND GET ME BACK TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN USE THE SOFTWARE I PAY FOR AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH TO KEEP MY BUSINESS OPERATING AND COMPLETE THE WORK MY CLIENTS ARE WAITING FOR ???
Originally I was very impressed with Adobe CC and Premier CC once I started to work with it after many years of abandoning the use of Premier as a Final Cut Pro 7 user but later decided to try Adobe again when Apple abandoned its pro base with the original Final Cut X. I also did not think this new cloud software model was all that bad over the old boxed method. This was all also before the big Final Cut Pro X update in December 2013/early 2014 where Apple appears to be back to support the real Pros but I have stuck with Adobe CC and Premier CC and been happy since that time. Now I am wondering if this was wise as I have had a number of other issues with other CC Apps, updates, etc and this is starting to feel like Creative Cloud is becoming a big, sloppy, buggy mess to me?Also...
Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.
