Is there an actaul person with an email I can contact with a complaint?

I just spent a FRUSTRATING 90 minutes on the website and "Customer Support" chat that went nowhere.
I am working remotely using an old WIN XP machine, and I need to refresh Premiere Pro. I figured I'd download the package and re-install, since the install disks (and S/N) are 1500 miles away. But the S/N isn't listed in my account. My situation: in 2008 I purchased (box version) and registered CS3. Since that time, between the changes at Adobe and my email, all I have is the confirmation note from Adobe that I registered. I don't think they even emailed serial numbers back then. I own CS6, but Premiere Pro needs a 64 bit O/S, so I'm stuck.
Customer "Support" was pretty worthless: after I typed in concise details of my problem, I was told "the product is not in your account".  After that, I was told that if I provided the serial number, I could be helped. You know, if you can't get qualified people, why bother? (chat transcript below).
The website said "Contact Adobe" if a S/N was missing or not in my account. But there's no way to contact Adobe.The website goes in circles, and there are no email addresses. I don't have the hours to spend on a phone call to go through what I did with chat.
So. How can I get the ear of someone who could help me, or at least address this problem? I'm sure I'm not the first person this has happened to.

info:You are now chatting with raj.
raj:Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Tex Green:Hi! Did you read my problem? I need to tretrieve the serial from my
CS3 Master collection
raj:Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
info:Your chat transcript will be sent to [email protected] at the end
of your chat.
Tex Green:I can send you a copy of the "Thanks for Registering" email I got when
I registered - but I don't have the original email with the serial numbers.
raj:There is no cs3 registered under your account
Tex Green:That's what I'm saying. I registered in 2008; Adobe has gone through
some major changes since and my info must have gotten lost.
raj:Is it the box product ?
Tex Green:Yes.
Tex Green:But the disks are 1500 miles away, and I need to do a repair.
Tex Green:I'm working remote using my old WIN XP machine. I'd install my CS6,
but Premier Pro needs the 64 bit OS...
raj:just allow me a moment
Tex Green:OK
raj:the serial number will be on the top of the box
Tex Green:Except I have no access to the box.
raj:I am afraid in order to help you i need to have the serial number of the
product
Tex Green:This is from teh system info: 13251577375129683654
raj:This is not the serial number
Tex Green:Never mind. If I had the serial number to provide, I wouldn't need help.
raj:To complete the installation of the product it will ask you to put the
serial number, and it is not registered under your account
Tex Green:Close the session. This will get nowhere.
raj:Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye.

The only email I have ever comes across for complaints would be [email protected] (it is not mis-spelled).  I don't know if it is still of use.
Chat is going to be your only option for getting help, and you shouldn't be surprised if they don't offer help due to your product no longer being supported (sad but true).
If you had not mentioned that you have an email confirming you registered (double-check that) I would have told you that you probably did not purchase thru Adobe and never registered it so they have no record of you owning it.  They do not email serial numbers for disc purchases - they are provided with the discs as you were told in chat.

  • Why does my iPad hang when writing an email?  When I'm done with the email, I can't send it out and have to re-boot the iPad.

    Why does my iPad hang when writing an email?  When I'm done with the email, I can't send it out and have to re-boot the iPad. This happens if the time to compose email exceeds 10 to 15 minutes.

    Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
    1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close program
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
    Suggest you perform Step 1 to 3 at the end of every day.

    First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum).  We're only users like you.
    The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
    If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...

    Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks.

  • I need an Email I can contact for itunes questions that are for apple.

    I need an Email I can contact for itunes questions that are for apple. Please post one I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    iTunes is a free program consequently any support is via these user forums or the on-line documentation. Apple do not provide free technical support except for purchased products. They don't provide email support for iTunes.
    If you post your questions and/or any problems giving clear details of what you are attempting to do and any error message(s) you are getting etc. I'm sure someone here will be happy to help.

  • How to set default email address for contact with multiple addresses.

    Apologies if this has been asked before, it seems a very basic question but I'm unable to find an answer.
    Can a default address be set in Address Book for a contact with multiple addresses? Or if not, which address does it send to "automatically" when this condition exists? I know you can manually select the address you want to use, but what if the contact is added to a group?
    Thanks
    Denis

    Thanks for the reply, buy I have no idea what this means.
    I have the same question. I have a contact that has five email addresses. When I add the person to a group, Mail automatically selects one of the addresses, but not the one I want. I need to go back and manually select the correct address. Can't I select one of these addresses as the default to be used all the time?
    Apologies for not quite understanding the first reply.

  • Cannot send Mail from Search shortcut "email [name of contact]" with exchange account

    i have a Q10 with an exchange Account configured. Mail works fine from the hub but when i use the search feature of the q10 by typing "email [name of contact]" the compser opens but i cannot send. the account field is empty and when i press send the button gets greyed out. the email is not sent.
    the problem seems to be that the default-account setting is not recognised when you use the search-shortcut-feature of the q10. when i compose a mail from the hub the account-field is filled right.
    same problem has a friend of mine from another company. he also uses a different excahnge server/account.
    os-version: 10.1.0.238

  • TS2734 Is there a limit to how many devices I can see with one account?

    Our school district, has numerous ipads..we have set up the find my ipad on each one is there a limit to the number of IPADS i can register under one account to locate the ipads with the icloud?

    From what i've read on here that SR102 Hub is only capable of accepting 20 wireless connections(might even be lower and just 16) anymore and it can cause devices to loose connection or just not connect at all.
    There is as of yet no way around this limit with the hub( you could purchase a wireless access point or a better router to piggyback onto the hub which might help). Edit the intial number of connection i stated may be wrong so i've adjusted the figure.

  • Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

    I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.
