Having MBP Problems - A Must READ!!!

I hope this will encourage those of you who are still waiting and those who are thinking about sending their MBPs back to Apple. I had a spacebar problem and CompUSA said they would take it back and give me a replacement when they arrived. They arrived today. Let me say, the difference between my defective unit and this one goes way beyond the keyboard, but I just didn't realize it. The screen is clearer, no vignetting, the CD/DVD drive is more quiet and loads faster, the keyboard is straight and every key is in alignment, the fit and finish is superior, it is very quiet (I hear only the fan on the left side). I am amazed at the difference. The point is, if your unit is defective, there might be more wrong with it than you imagine, because you do not have a good one sitting beside it as a reference. I believe it with be worth your wait and all the grief. Good things come to those who wait!

I think if and when I send in my MBP for service at the Apple store, I'll take photos and make sure at least two employees acknowledge of the perfect cond'n of the computer and have them confirm this on the work order...
So that when I see scratches and scuffs, I can demand a replacement unit.

CS2 IS NOW STARTING TO "HAVING A PROBLEM" AND MUST SHUT DOWN.

Is Adobe so poor that they have to decimate my work to force me into buying new?
CS2 was my tool to use for clean up and such for my artwork for the past several years.
I even tried cs5 and cs6, just in case, but really preferred the old version/comfortable and familiar for my needs.
Well,computer crashed, had to get a new one and tried to reinstall my cs2 from my original purchased disc.
It wouldn't take, tried for about an hour and then had to go to this "support" site to find out my version was no longer "supported".
They sent me a link, and a process to get it working again, great says I, and thanked the "support" person.
Well, since that time, last several weeks now, photoshop cs2 seems to enjoy freezing itself up, and letting me now it will look for a "solution"
, of course it never does, and I lose valuable time and artwork. I try as monkey like as I can to try and save as I go, hoping the banana will drop
and I will eat another day, but seriously, it's stupid and of course never foolproof as I need to to focous on the work, not playing games with a program.
I really don't have the money or the need to buy an updated program. I just need this one to work like it has for the years I have owned it.
I'm an artist who works hard and is not wealthy, or inclined to jump into spending on things I clearly don't need or can afford just to stay current.
Heck, I still prefer pencil and paper to a cintiqu, though I do greatly enjoy my wacom tablet.
This all said, how do I get this problem fixed?
Oh yeah, and of course, it's now impossible to actually even contact "support" directly for this help, as they have better things to do.

Ok, try the Preferences reset:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS).
This is the website for the CS2 products. They are free to those who own the discontinued activation products.
And, no they are meant to work permanently. Adobe is not sabotaging anything.

Having a problem downloading Adobe Reader to my computer.

I don't understand why I cannot simply download Adobe Reader X to my computer from Firefox. It says I am missing a plugin, then when it searches it says its not available, takes me to download something and then a ZIP file appears.
I don't even know what to do with this ZIP file and this seems like a tedious process for downloading a simple file. I gave up, gave in and used GOOGLE CHROME to download the file and it was on my computer in less than a minute, so then I could load it onto my computer.
Why is Firefox being so picky about something like this and why haven't they made this easier to download. I don't like using other programs like CHROME or IE for things like this, but I am forced to use them.
I enjoy Firefox, but it's the "little foxes" like these that mess up the vineyard and makes it difficult to browse and download items with ease.
Please make this easier for people to download. Make a plug-in available or something to where I do not have to mess around with ZIP files that I don't know what to do with.

iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Anyone NOT having Keyboard problems with newer MBP!

After reading about all the keyboard problems on the newer MBPs, is there anyone NOT having keyboard lockups or dropping letter problems? Looking to purchase a MBP soon but after reading about the many keyboard problems I will probably postpone or decide to get a different machine.

There might be a couple of things to try. You could borrow an external keyboard to use for a while--or even buy a cheap one used, and see if you still have problems or not. If you don't, there's likely a problem with the MBP keyboard itself.
Also, if you have access to an Apple Store, you might be able to make an appointment with the genius bar and get a definite diagnosis. It may be possible to arrange to get in a replacement keyboard at the Apple Store and have them fix it while you wait. Don't know for sure if that would be possible, but it's worth asking. Same with an Apple authorized repair shop--it might be possible to get it fixed without having to send it off.
Good luck!

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

wen6275,
It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot".
It looks like you're on a Mac. Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file. Would you mind elaborating?

As we are having a problem explicit with Adobe Reader 11.0.07, we are interested in news and dates for coming updates to Adobe Reader. Can I find information about this anywhere ?

Hello Claus,
you could have a look here: http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-13.html and in german language http://www.chip.de/downloads/Adobe-Reader_12998358.html
In all These cases Google could be "your friend".

I'm having a problem accessing Bupers Online using my CAC reader. I get an error that says safari can't establish a secure connection to the website. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having a problem accessing Bupers Online on OS X Mountain Lion. I get an error that says Safari cant establish a secure connection with Bupers Online. Does anyone have any tips to access Bupers?

I don't use CAC certificates, but since updating to 10.9.3, I too am getting the same error, BUT only with some HTTPS sites (e.g., https://webmail.pairlite.com), not all. Meanwhile, Firefox (was 12.0, now 29.0.1) connects with no issue.
I too have verified date/time is set automatically, checked for (and fixed) disk integrity errors and permissions, and rebooted, all to no avail.
Update:
Well...heck. Tried accessing the problematic site via the Guest account, and that WORKED. So...back to the drawing board.

I am having some problems finalizing the project, it says error code -108. I read some tips but i couldn't figure out what AppleMan1958 suggested ,can someone explain this to me ,thank you

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

I have read all of the discussions about headset echos, my echos are heard by the caller when i hold the phone by the bottom half. The echo disappears when I change my hold position. Anybody else having this problem? Fix?

Don't hold it like that. You're creating an 'echo chamber' due to the position of your hand/neck/face. It's not a technical issue. I hear this when I talk to my wife and she cradles the phone against her shoulder.

My iPad mini drops the wifi when I read an article. Anyone else having this problem?

When I find an article to read whether it is a magazine or a safari search, the iPad drops the wifi connection. I will then have to go make it reconnect. Anyone else having this problem?

Are you talking about when you use Safari or when you use the Spotlight Search? If it happens in Safari, try clearing Safari, close Safari and reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7 or 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
