Lightroom Tech Support SUCKS!!!!!!!
To Adobe Corporate---- I have a case that has been going on now for 5 days---I was on a chat when a Sharmji basically shut the chat down in the middle of a conversation. I have spoken to numerous 1st level Tech support people who then try to "FIX" the issue and CAN'T, and in the middle of EACH SEPERATE TECH SUPPORT PHONE CALL----IT DROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I call your corporate office in San Jose, and spoke to the operator--Veronica who said of course"I'm sorry that this has happened, I'll connect you to someone who can help" Yeah right. So she connects me to : Mandir Bhatia--highest Tech Support---RIGHT????? Ok so then he tells me as everyone else has to try to recreate the problem, and I do, but because my program was taking to long to come up with the error, he tells me to email him a screen shot when it happens. GREAT. Not more than 5 minutes from hanging up on me, my Lightroom 3 decides to crash. So I send him the email with the screen shot, it is understood that he would call me back by the next day----NOTHING,NADA,NO PHONE CALL---SHOCKING RIGHT???????
Okay so today, I call corporate again----out for the Holidays----Nice. So I go to my adobe account and send open the open account and send another screen shot to them. I then call Adobe support, and i speak to a "JAY" right, during my conversation he wants me to do the EXACT SAME THINGS I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 5 TECHINCAL CALLS-------REALLLLYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! He also makes the comment that this case HAD been SOLVED-----NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED------IT STILL CRASHES--AND WILL NOT EXPORT A CATALOG OR COLLECTION WITH BOTH COLOR AND B & W IN THE SAME CATALOG, IT ONLY EXPORTS THE COLOR PHOTOS.
The last thing he said for a possible solution, before he dropped the call was to "well try and reinstall lightroom" common guys, WTF?????? ADOBE YOU REALLY NEED TO GET BETTER TECH SUPPORT, OR YOU WILL LOOSE CUSTOMERS.
AND YES I HAVE ALREADY UPDATED TO 3.6 LIGHTROOM3
98cam,
Your post is in the wrong place. This forum is a user to user forum and most of the users are not Adobe employees. If - on occasion - an Adobe employee posts on this forum, it says "EMPLOYEE" besides his/her name.
Sothe users of this forum cannot deal with your complaint and your complaint will (most probably) not read by the powers that be at Adobe.
If you have specific questions regarding the use of LR you are welcome to post your questions on this forum. But complains won't be answered or solved here.

I have been told, since Dec 3, after spending 2 hours with a tech in India to resolve my problem. He said he would "escalate" the problem and I would get a call back in 2-4 days. Since then, I have NOT gotten a call back. I have made three more calls getting the same PROMISE. I am paying for a program I cannot use and getting no help from Adobe.
I suppose THIS will go unanswered as well!don't feel bad, I've been on for eight hours attempting to talk with the India Tech Squad. I'm getting ERROR 16 with CC apps. Nobody at abobe can fix it.I'm on hold again. I'd pay someone money to solve this.I better stop now or it won't be pretty. Adobe tech support is not whT it used to be!!

I called tech support and they can not look up my account by the account number.

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -

dell and your other competitors must love this because the abusrdity of this experience is resulting in my returning this pc. i bought it two days ago.
wow ...
sad, sad, state of affairs. worst call centre i have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. especially some guy named 'ricky'. what an abnoxious human being.
i have apple products but prefer pc, but with service like this ... man ...
anyway, terrible way to lose a customer.

Adobe's Tech Support is AWFUL!!!!!!! 5 days and no solution!!!! Please help!!!! crashing!
I this issue can be address be addressed....
I am completely disappointed, frustrated and angry!! I have spent over 9 hours on the phone with tech support - in India. This would not be a problem, but it seems these techs at the call center don't really know anything about Adobe products. And..... they speak very poor english. I even had one agent put me on hold for 45 minutes!!! It was at that time I realized what a sucker I was for waiting that long and hung up. They don't document the cases that well, because I've called at least 30 times. Each time I get asked what the problem is, after I've given them my case number. At a certain point, and as much as we designers pay for these products, I just want to speak with someone who can help and communicate well with me. Sorry for the rant, but it's ridiculous.
I recently upgraded my Creative Suite master collection to CS6 Creative Cloud Master Collection. Here are my system specs:
3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo
6 GB RAM
OS- (currently) 10.7.4
CS6 Creative Cloud worked great with Mac OS 10.6 - no issues. However, like an idiot, I upgraded to Mac Os x 10.7.4. Immediately - all Adobe products would work until I saved a project a second time. So here's the scenario no matter what product I use:
1. Open application (photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, etc...)
2. begin using application - no prob just yet.
3. Save / Save As project. saves fine.
4. Work some more - fine
5. Save Project - application crashes / spins, application not responding (gets to 83% and crashes / spins everytime). However, do a Save As - different project name, no crash!
6. Upon Saving a second time and application becoming un-responsive, I will try to Force Quit from finder. This causes my entire system to become un responsive. Only solution is to shut off the computer.
So Far I have done the following-
1. reinstalled all applications
2. Manually removed all applications and associated files - caches, prefs, etc. / re-installed. Doesn't work
3. Created another user and tried applications with same results.
4. Tried the Root User
5. Reinstalled yet again.
6. Checked for bad fonts. no avail.
Cany anyone please help! I'm missing deadlines as it's been a five day issue!!!!!I thank you all for taking the time to respond. Your help and input is greatly appreciated.
David_B — to answer your questions.
-The problem has happened with all items in the suite, but mainly with illustrator, photoshop and indesign
-I was previously using CS4 before my upgrade. But again, CS6 was working fine with OS 10.6.8
-Project freezes are occuring with both old projects and new ones.
-Earlier version, CS4 has since been uninstalled as tech support had me manually uninstall all softwares.
- The computer is on a simple network. We tend to work from a file server, however, the issue also occurs when saving to desktop or primary drive.
-When I save second time, and software freezes, I am saving to same location, trying to over-write the file.
Manish-Sharma—
I've tried both. Saving the files to desktop, my user document folder, and our file server.
It also appears, that the article you linked is something I have not tried. I will give this a try today. Thanks!
Gavante—
Thanks for trying to help calm me down.
Please don't misunderstand. You are correct, the people I've spoken to have all been very nice. They're just doing their jobs.
However, I have asked several times to recieve elevated help. The last phone call I was on yesterday, prior to writing this lasted an hour +. I spoke to 5 different individuals, all who continued to pass me on to someone of equal support level. By this time I was very frustrated. The last individual made a concerted effort to let me speak to the senior level support. He assured me I would definitely recieve a call back in 10 to 15 minutes from a senior level support agent.
That was yesterday at 2pm. I have yet to receive a call.
It's also not an issue of me being able to understand the agents accents. Quite the opposite.... It is they who have trouble understanding me, making swift communication very difficult. Which, as you can imagine, to a consumer trying to get an issue resolved is frustrating. -
Does Adobe have a tech support contact for Flash on browsers?
I am looking how to escalate to Adobe Tech Support but paying 29 bux an hour for some recruited college Grad that knows to little doesnt suit me.
Bought an HP Quad and it had Win7 home so poorly installed, configured, overloaded with junk, would not backup, when it did backup and create a repair disk they wouldnt restore. HP's preloaded Win7 build both IE8 and Firefox were crashing with both BSOD and Browsers not responding and dying. Firefox never responds to anything, Microsoft indicates is an add on problem but I think it can be a flash issue although it occurs much more on Wiin7 (ANY Version) for 32 or 64 bit. I have been screwing with this for a month screaming at Microsoft and Mozilla but its a waste of time.
Microsoft forums are polluted for Win7 browser BSOD and Browser halting then crashing posts, there answer is disable add-ons. I cant surf the net without add ons so that is a stupid reponse of finger pointing, giving appearance that Msoft, Adobe and Mozilla dont communicate. No company will take ownership and drive the issue to find the root cause and where ever that cause is make them fix it, Msfot, Adobe of Firefox. so what do ya do?
The HP PC with horrible preload of win7 finally died and killed the build but Microsoft was equally useless in helping me repair that preloaded junk even though the OS is theres. I BOUGHT real disks because HP couldnt support the mess - HP couldnt support chewing food let alone the mess they place on PC's with 90% asian parts with old drivers. Eleven escaltions starting on DAY 1 of ownership of a Pavilion. Hundreds of crash dump error reports sent to Firefox has still gone unresponsed, as they employ the 5th ammendment ,method of silence without support and Msoft remove all add on is laughable but proves HP. Firefox and MicroSoft wont assume responsibilty.
This sucks as all three gloat and boast about a HIGH levels of support and awards won for support but it is all myth, and laughably a lie but I still want it repaired. 28 years in IT - retired I feel qualififed to make the observation.
I never attempted to contact Adobe but I get redirected after seeing the warning about 39 bucks an hour to answer a phone for a freeware add-on.
Does anyone know of have a escalation path to a real person at adobe or department beause tthis site redirects from the ASK Adobe Support link meaning I cant even mail a question to then, Already a BAD sign but the driver is free, but they wrote, and millions are having issue so where is there support - Why bother writing the addon if people cant even ask a question.
So does any know if they support the flash add-on without charging? a Glitch they might want to know about is flash 10.0.0.1 shows in Win7 Event logs as version 0.0.0.1 and I have logs showing that an addon report from the DEP (Data Execution Service) saw an add-on go to a non executalbe memory region whenthe only add-on I have is flash.
Google for IE8 Browser Crash 566,500, Win7 Browser crash 1,500,000, Firefox crashing 587,000, Firefox flash crash 1,420,000, Adobe flash crash 1,820,000, are 4,615,500 google posts found for one issue and I know there are more than that failing but Im sick of the whole thing so adobe is my last gasp. Please respond if you have a fix or path to escalate to adobe.
Thanks.
What a mess that no company so far stands up willing to take ownership of this just to find the root cause.I don't have a definitive answer, but I would guess you won't find a tech support service dedicated to the Flash Player since it is free software and customers apparently have problems getting tech support for the products they buy. But here are a couple of things worth considering.

Call for Adobe to flush it's lame tech support:
I think I speak for many people when I say that Adobe's outsourced "tech" "support" is niether tech nor support. Come on Adobe, step up to the plate and give your customers a little more respect by offering them the kind of support that would be expected with a professional software package.
I have wasted so much time, I really feel cheated and outraged. I paid $800+ for an upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and the one feature I use the most : Merge to HDR will not align large images using WinXP-64, yet it workes fine in CS2. Sound like an easy thing to fix? Well here is 5 months of BS from Adobe tech support, it would be comical if it wasnt so pathetic:
Have a similar story? add it here....
I was already walked through replacing that file over the phone, that is one of the many "solutions" that did not work. Check the link you just sent me, it goes to PAGE UNAVAILABLE. I did an Adobe search for the file you were having me replace my current one with....PHSPCS4_Cont_LS1 and it IS FOR THE WRONG OPERATING SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!! Its for a Mac, I stated over and over the problem is a conflict with my WinXP-64 and you tell me to replace the automate file with a Mac file?
YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL IDIOTS!
YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT WASTE MY TIME.
SHAME ON ADOBE FOR OUTSOURCING! YOU THINK YOU ARE SAVING A BUCK BY OUTSOURCING BUT LET ME TELL YOU - YOU ARE ONLY LOOSING AND PISSING OFF YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Greedy Adobe Executives: you suck worse than your lame *** "tech" support!

I still have the same problem. The "align" option in HDR will not work with large files when using WinXP-64.
The "align" processing time grows exponentially as the pixel sizes get larger in the images. I did extensive testing and plotted the
results. My camera shoots 5616x3744, when using 5 or more of the these to create an HDR, (the minimum I would normally use) the "
align" time is an unworkable 25+minutes.
The whole reason I am calling this an usresolved problem is that when I use the exact same photos in MergeHDR in CS2 it would proces
s in about 1 min. If I use the same files in CS4 without the "align" function, it processes in less than 10 seconds.
So clearly the problem is in the code of the "align" function in "Merge to HDR". Somehow that code conflicts in WinXP-64.
I dont need to hear any other suggestions of how to fix this on my end (there have been a dozens so far - they have all been wrong)
I'm just going to ask the same question again: are you going to have a programmer find the problem in the code and re-write a fix f
or WinXP-64 so it can handle larger images? I believe during one of our phone conversations I was told "we will look into this and g
et back to you" That was 3 or 4 months ago!
If you are not going to bother, please, have the dignity to just say so!

I am still missing the output module in Bridge and the Merge to hdr does not work with large images when using the "align images" op
tionThat's nothing!
An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

One of the reasons I'm watching this forum is to see what kinds of problems I might end up with my Neo4 Platinum since I found out that MSI support of their products kinda sucks (not to say any other any other OEM is any better) This system I just built started out with a MSI X800 Pro PCIe (thought I wouldn't have any compatability problems since both were MSI products) that ended up being sent back because of a bad GPU. It did install ok but had garbage on the boot screen and wouldn't run any 3d programs. I tried to update the Bios on it and liveupdate wouldn't recognize it for bios update or driver updates. When I called tech support on it I was informed that none of the MSI X800 Pro PCIe cards are recognized as MSI products. I also asked why liveupdate does not show any driver updates for the motherboard drivers (I also have a KT6V that shows all the MB driver updates even when they have been updated) and I was informed that none of the new motherboards will show driver updates if they are current on the board. Problem is that my realtek drivers are updated and they still show up on liveupdate.
I also have a hard time buying the statements made on this board that the forums are not part of MSI support. The Forums are not shown as an outside link but are listed under Service for MSI products and if you go to the Sevice page under the discription for the Forums it states that "You can also post a message there to get help." and yes I did read the forum rules where it states that "There is no MSI support to be found here. The moderators are not paid by MSI and do not work for MSI, we are users just like you." If everyone posting on these forums are just users helping each other, then wouldn't it be better just to state that the boards with SB are not compliant with the 24 pin connectors and that you need a PSU that is backward compatible to 20 pin specs?
This "rant" of mine is not meant to be a bashing of MSI products since I haven't found many other OEMs that are any better in their support but is intended to help present and future users of MSI products and since I hope I'm using this forum as is intended by the "rules" can anyone who has a K8N Neo4 Platinum let me know if they are having a problem or know of a problem with the AMD 3500+ (winchester) voltage never reaching 1.4 volts on this mb? If the manuals for the mb and my psu are correct I have a dedicated 12 volt rail for the cpu with 15A. The cpu voltage stays around 1.37 on CoreCenter and 3 other programs that monitor cpu voltage even when running Prime95 with 100% cpu usage.The default for CPU Voltage is By CPU VID default for Adjust CPU VID is Startup which should be 1.4 volt. Since Cool'n'Quiet requires a driver to run and I also show low CPU VID in cmos it should be 1.4v but I tried with Cool'n'Quiet disabled and also tried setting CPU VID to 1.4 but have never made it to 1.4 I also tried setting it to 1.425 which is the next step and still read under 1.4.

Can any one believe this tech support trying to delete legacy adobe apps!!!!!!
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: I need to know that NONE of my legacy adobe apps will be affected. CS5 suite and CS6 products will NOT be affected is that right??????????????
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to dixxx.net at the end of your chat.
Vipin: It will be affected.
ADOBE CUSTOMER: WHOA! you are saying that my CS% and CS 6 apps will be hurt and not run correctly is that right?
Vipin: We need to remove all the Adobe apps installed on your computer.
Vipin: Is that okay.
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: There is no way I give permission to delete CS5 creative suite, CS6 video production suite or hurt them in any way what so ever. I have THOUSANDS of dollars of plugins and other workfow products that depend on them. Sorry but my only recourse is to
ADOBE CUSTOMER: see if you have ANY loyalty to an OVER 30 years adobe customer (me) when you demand payout for the remaining 5 months of the subscription. I'm betting you will just send the bill to collections for non payment. If so, you WILL be sued for non service and non delivery of product. And yes, I am ready to spend over xxxx on a suit vs adobe because of how you have treated me. The point is I know that I am not alone, and that's sad.
Then customer service has the gall to ....
ME:
1) First I need a credit for $10.81 for months October, November, and December of 2014... and January of 2015.
2) Second I need my subscription extended at the SAME price for ONE year WHEN I START A NEW SUBSCRIPTION upon new releases of the photography CC bundle. The current one does NOT install correctly on a purpose built computer to handle Video and 3D processing. I will not tolerate you deleting legacy products that go back to CS3 and newer that I depend on to pay my bills. The forums are full of folks with the same install problems for CC 2014. That is one year free for the extreme hassle and loss of time productivity, travel expenses, and monies due to being forced to use my standalone
PS CS6 products for core work and another copy of the CC PS for 3D work at another location with a different persons subscription for my clients jobs.
3) You need to get PS CC installed on my new production box on its “D” drive before I will agree to anything except the above. Lightroom CC 2014 installed just fine. There is no excuse for a product like PS to fail on extraction prior to install!
Britt from adobe:
If you do decide to cancel, we can refund your subscription.
If you stay with the service, we can provide 2 free months as an apology for the technical difficulties. We cannot provide a free year.
Please let me know which you would like to do.
Thanks,
Britt
Kee Jee You want me to stay with a service that provides no product? And has not provided me with a usable product since October of 2014? And now the word is out that you are raising subscription prices after the first year? Who do you think you are? You HURT peoples ability to earn a living! You cost us hours and days and months trying trying to fix your problems so we can move forward with your products? Who in the hell do you think you are? Tell you what, dont cancel a thing. A media blitz and maybe a subpoena to San Jose is the right move to protect peoples rights. Your company needs to learn a lesson in how to treat legacy customers. It seems no one has taught you that "if you take care of the customer, they will take care of adobe." Britt, care to guess how many dollars I have given adobe in almost 30 years?Britt, I'm still waiting for my refund!
1) I am STILL waiting for a full refund.
2) Second I need my subscription extended at the SAME price for ONE year WHEN I START A NEW SUBSCRIPTION upon new releases of the photography CC bundle. The current one does NOT install correctly on a purpose built computer to handle Video and 3D processing with PS. I will not tolerate adobe and your text support wanting to delete legacy products that go back to CS3 and newer that I depend on to pay my bills.
You and your tech support was worthless in suggesting they wanted to CLEAN my ENTIRE box of ALL ADOBE products. The LEGACY Apps WORK, they are PAID FOR, and thousands of dollars of After Effects, Premiere, and medical scientific plugins for Photoshop would be invalid and not useful without the legacy installed products. I sure as hell am NOT upgrading to CC for my production bundles after the way you have treated me and many of my clients now. Instead we are pursuing alternative solutions that are not adobe.
The forums are full of folks with the same install problems for CC 2014. That is one year free for the extreme hassle and loss of time productivity, travel expenses, and monies due to being forced to use my standalone PS CS6 products for core work and another copy of the CC PS for 3D work at another location with a different persons subscription for my clients jobs.
3) There is no excuse for a product like PS to fail on extraction prior to install!
4) Your software has a poor history in the security department and I am now dealing with the second zero-day affecting my Flash, exploiting Internet Explorer and Firefox on
my Windows 7. You all deny that you have a problem. I am waiting for you to notify me soon on what needs updating and I need to know when you plan to push out a fix. Only then will
I allow flash back on my systems.

Tech support said I was the only one having issues!
Verizon,
How can you possibly say no one has complained or had similar issues with this phone when I come to this site to discover that hundreds of people have posted complaints? I have had major issues with my LG revolution since I have got it and have constantly been told it is a software issue and the next software update will fix it, guess what no software upgrade has ever fixed any issue. Freezing up, random restarts, never receiving/sending some text messages, claiming it must just be my phone when everyone I know with this phone has issues, short battery life, just to name a few issues and then when I call to say I want a different phone because this phone is not acceptable I receive RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
As my family has been loyal Verizon customers for many years this is blatantly not acceptable. These are issues I have never had with any other phone from your provider and now all of a sudden this particular phone will not send texts and not receive others intermittently? This is a service issue and a device issue! I don't care how you fix it, but I want it fixed! Before a service rep reply's to this saying "download the newest software as LG has addressed the issues in it", I have and (surprise) it did not fix anything! As a loyal customer for many years I want a phone that works. When my alarm doesn't go off because my phone is frozen causing me to miss class or work that's an issue. Before you tell me well it may just be your individual phone why don't you look through this forum at the number of people that are having the SAME issues on their 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th phones! I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER LG REVOLUTION I NEED A PHONE THAT IS RELIABLE. I spent a large amount of money on this phone expecting it to be a reliable cell phone, this is not what I expected. Every time I have gone to Verizon to get my phone fixed or traded in I am told that they need to see the issue occurring at that exact time, how can I do that when many of the issues are intermittent?
With so many people on here having so many issues with this phone how can you simply ignore this problem? Switch my phone for another phone of equal or lesser value PLEASE I would love to choose something else other than this phone. If an issue isn't resolved I assure you when my contract is up I will be switching to a different provider causing your company to lose a lot more money in the long run than if you switch out my phone, and as I am sure I'm not the only person thinking this be ready to lose a lot of customers over not resolving an issue with an incompetent phone.Hello
I did exaclty as VW told me to do regarding this phone. It locked up, again, I drove to the store and the Manager tells me it is my fault becuase of apps or something I am doing. VW needs to understand that as a Customer I purchase a product to use. They advertise them to be used. I also understand that I am a sucker for staying with VW. OR it could be the early termination fee that bugs me for a Phone that I can't use. If there is one App that is a common app that does not work, then all the similiar issues would be an easy fix. The Manager forgot to ask me about the prior tech support-- this is a phone I have reset 3 times with 2nd tier service. I have removed every app.. I have installed one app at a time over a period of a month. The random freezes and lock-ups are never the same. Today's freeze of the day was the slide lock--no longer worked. The LG Revolution is the problem. Now, I try not to make calls on it--so that is does not drop them. I have removed every app for several weeks and had more lock-ups than if I have apps iinstalled. The problem with this phone is not the Apps, it has a memory leak, or a design flaw. I have my calls fowarded to a different phone just so I dont have to have the phone freeze during a conversation.
Today was the last straw--It will be replaced, but not replaced by anything other than a LG Revolution. This is my 3rd replacement.
If you were lucky to read this post and have an LG Revolution that works--that is wonderful!!
For me, this phone has been a reason to leave Verizon. I just can't believe after following their instructions, I am told it is my fault, and no we will not give you any credit towards a new phone. I was asking for a$50-100 bucks off a new phone...
I pay hundreds of dollars each month for the last 10 years and this is what I get for my money. -
Why does Acrobat tech support seem to know nothing about shared reviews?
Venting, but also asking honestly why Adobe has to suck so bad in their support of Acrobat....
I was on the phone with Acrobat tech support today (outsourced team perhaps?) to ask about another issue I'm having with disappearing comments. I can't see the comments, but another reviewer can. I can see on the webDAV server that the comments are there, sitting in the XML file under the reveiwer's name, but when I open the PDF, it won't grab those comments.
Not one but TWO tech support guys at Adobe seemed bewildered by these XML files that they think I created. I had to explain that I created nothing; that's what Acrobat does when one creates a shared review. It makes an XML file for each reviewer, and sticks it in a shared folder of your choosing, whose URL name is baked into the PDF. I had to walk each of them through the process of creating a shared review, and they both acted as if it was some mysterious weird process that I'm jerryrigging.
They said it was "unusual" that I am using a webDAV server, but I told them that webDAV is one of the three options provided by Adobe's wizard when setting up a shared review. (The other options are Network Folder and Sharepoint.) I told them it's not unusual at all; in fact, I got all the original setup instructions FROM ADOBE.
They kept putting me on hold for three to five minutes to apparently try looking stuff up, or maybe just to avoid my growing wrath.
I had another hunch that the problem might be that my synchronized folder may need to be cleared out (gotten from this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3596773) and asked them if they could tell me where to find the synchronization folder on Mac, as that thread refers to Windows only. He had no idea. I asked him that surely, somewhere at Adobe where he works, somebody knows where that's set up on the Mac.
He put me on hold for three to five minutes and said he didn't know, but he'll "escalate" this and get back to me in 24 to 48 hours, which is the fastest turnaround time they can muster, apparently.
The only soultions I ever find to my Acrobat woes are from the beleaguered users themselves. I also suspect that only users (not Adobe's tech support, who don't seem to care about anything) will ever even read this.We had the same problem in Germany... Turns out that the Regional and Language settings in the Client OS is causing the problems. If you change the decimal format from a , to a . it will solve the problem.. all comments will be places and vieable by all... pls clear all cache and profile settings first to start with a clean test... i hope this helps your situation..

Elements 10 closes when making panorama and Adobe Tech Support???
I recently installed PSE10. I upgraded because my old computer crashed, so I went to Win7 with 64 bit and did an upgrade of several programs. I noted that when I try to do a panorama in 10 I get an error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has Stopped Working." That happens whether I have pictures in 10 waiitng to become a panorama or I am just creating a new one with nothing loaded in 10. I can open other Photomerge types like "Groupshot" but not panorama. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA
This is my first "serious" problem with Adobe. I looked around on the site for a way to submit a question to tech support....Is there a way to submit a question to Adobe Tech Support for free? or is it all purchased time (i.e., they do not offer free tech support.) Again, appreciate the input.
ThanksThere's a phone number listed for tech support.
You can get tech support from an online chat session.
As usual, you take your chances with how "technical" the support will be....
Added:
Searching the forums for "panorama" revealed a problem with Lightroom and Bridge that was solved by resetting the preferences:
Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when launching PSE, and answer "Yes" to re-building the Preferences.
Might be worth a try.

Change the launch default to Adobe Reader 9 (instead of Acrobat 6)?
I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded. Until a week ago I could launch PDF files in a broswer without difficulty. They would launch in Adobe Reader 9. Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a
