How do you get support from Adobe?

I cannot get any support or answers from Adobe. Chat: they said they couldn't answer my question, I had to call the support phone number. I did this. They asked for my phone number and said they would call back in 30 to 40 minutes. They called back in 5 minutes. I was then put on hold for just over an hour. And then they hung up on me.
I've had very few problems with Adobe in the past 10 years. Always quick, sweet help. Now, nothing.
How do we get help? Or are we just out of luck - too big, don't care?
Here's my problem: I am a Creative Cloud member. I downloaded Flash CS6 on my main computer, and my laptop. I rarely used the laptop, but had to start using it. As I was working with Flash on the laptop I noticed the brush tool did not have any options on the toolbar. No size, pen tool use, nothing. I restarted the program. Still nothing. So, I reset the program by holding down cmd+option+shift as I restarted the program. The proper message came up asking if I wanted to reset, I clicked yes. Still didn't fix the issue.
Given this program was downloaded, and knowing that problems can happen if the line "burps" during a large download I figured I'd simply uninstall Flash completely, and they go back and download it again. Nope, the button for download says it has been downloaded.
Now what? Adobe apparently can't help. Any ideas?

So, the answer is complain on the Adobe Forums if you need help and can't get it through the normal channels.
Thank-you for your help. After running the CS Cleaner tool it found a lingering file, which seemed to be related to AIR. Apparently I didn't get a clean uninstall and that's why the CC apps saw that Flash was on my machine. After CS Cleaner did its thing, the download became available.
I just wish getting the answer wasn't so stressful and time consuming. Adobe provides great products, now they just need to follow up with great customer service.

  • How can someone get support from Adobe? I tried phone, then chat, finally ended up here. Thx Adobe, fantastic

    I am trying to purchase Creative Cloud Photography. After entering credit card info, a message popped up stressing that I should call customer care @ 90 212 371 0571. Dialled the number, voice mail said I should visit adobe.com/getsupport which lead me to the chat. After writing down my problem in full, received a message saying that chat support is unavailable (which claims support is 24/7) and I should try the forums, which brought me here.
    Well done Adobe!

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • TS5459 How do you get vocals from an ext mike/amp to record onto an audio track?

    How do you get vocals (from an ext mike/amp setup to record decently onto an audio track? I had no problems doing this with my 2008 IMAC & Logic Pro  Studio 8, but can't seem to do it with my new IMAC & Logic X. Very frustrating.

        The Korg 1600 doesn't seem to have a USB connection. It does have S/P DIF "IN" & "OUT", (which I have never used) and a SCSI site. With my older system, I had the IMAC 1st jack go directly to the Peavey or sometimes to one of the 8 imputs on the KORG 1600......so whatever I had prepared on LOGIC &/or ITUNES would play out. The 2nd IMAC jack connected to the  MASTER OUT jacks on the back of the KORG 1600. The KORG 1600 acted as an interface. Vocals via microphone, or guitar, or instruments from the Triton Synthesizer went into the 1600 & recorded onto the Logic project  Also on the back of the KORG 1600 was   MONITOR "RT & LT"  output jacks that are connected to my Peavy mixer that in turn plays out through speakers.
        The Logic Preferences/Audio is as follows:        Devices is highlighted
                                                                              Output device: ;Built-in output
                                                                              Input device: Built-in microphone
                                                                              I/O buffer size: 128
       Thank you for trying to help me with this and for your patience. . (I'm good with music & other things, but not with computers.)

  • HT4623 how do you get pictures from your old iphone to your new iphone

    I am just wondering how do you get your old pictures off your old iphone 4 to your new iphone 5?

    If you are referring to pictures in the camera roll of the old device, you could always restore the new device from a backup of the old device. If you do not want to do that, then you would have to import the photos from the old device to the computer, and then sync the photos from the computer to the new device.

  • HT1349 What if you can't turn on your phone and computer won't read it. How do you get support

    How can I get support if my iphone won't come on or connect to computer. It went off while talking on it. It has a charge and has been running good.

    Hold down the home and power buttons at the same time. It may take 20 seconds or so. This should force it to reboot. If it doesn't, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • IS THERE ANY WAY TO ACTUALLY GET SUPPORT FROM ADOBE?

    I swear Adobe acts like they hate their customers.  I've been having a problem since June 18 and I am getting nowhere.  At that time their so called "support" site was down for days.  Somehow I eventually established a support case that I could see when I logged on to my account.  I submitted everything they asked for.  Now it is gone, poof.  I cannot see what happened to my case.  I was also exchanging e-mail with someone from Adobe but after I submitted everything she requested she quit replying.  THAT WAS 9 DAYS AGO.  Did I mention that the CHAT IS DOWN in the middle of the day with no explanation of when it will be available again?  I regret every buying an Adobe product but I did and I deserve to be able to use it but I cannot.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??

    As I mentioned in your other post, you may want to describe your problem.  There are many users here that can offer excellent help (some who are more knowledgeable than Adobe support staff).

  • HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product."  I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

    How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is?  They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about.  Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean.  Does it mean your desktop computer?  If so, which one?  Do they mean your device?  LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever?  Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices?  If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.  I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5?  We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id.  He may have been using mine, since his computer died.  I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5.  Do they, then?
    Help!  I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number.  I doubt they would help me anyway.  In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it.  Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • How do you get photos from ipod to desktop?

    i had a photo and it got deleted off my hard drive, but i have it on my ipod.
    i'm afraid to hook my ipod up to the computer cause it might update the ipod and delete the photo
    how can i get the photo off the ipod?

    If the photos are not in the Photos folder (enable disk use first) on the iPod, you do no have the full resolution pix on the iPod.
    You only have photos optimized for the television (about 640x480).

    James, you are going to have to be a lot more specific as to what's going on when you try to sync your music to your iPod before anyone has a clue on how to start to help you. Please include what kind of iPod you have, what version of iTunes you're using, any error messages or error codes that are happening. The more information you post, the better chance you have of getting some help.
