[locked] Is there any way to complain to Adobe re. installing McAfee stuff?

Is there any way to officially complain to Adobe about installing McAfee software? In last several updates of Flash I did not see any option to opt out and since I don't need this "tool", every update to Flash is followed with uninstall. I install Flash Player updates to fix possible Adobe issues and security holes and not to add bloatware to my computer.
I am looking for links or emails where I could effectively address this issue, not an outsourced customer service site that won't escalate the problem anywhere.
Thanks.

I've invested well over $11,000 in Master Collections of CS3, CS4, and CS5 for Windows and Mac, not to mention hundreds of unpaid hours here in these forums, helping people use the same products I do.
I've also bought two HP Printers, a Lexmark printer, a Canon scanner, a pair of Canon digital cameras, four external hard drives, and about $4,000 worth of additional photo editing, video editing, web design and audio editing software.
How would your viewpoint differ based on that alone?
The fact is, you bought a piece of software, you didn't buy the company. You're no more entitled to change business practices at Adobe as a Flash owner, than a parent who buys a Happy Meal for their kid is entitled to run McDonald's.
If you don't have time to read what you're installing, you will get what you deserve and you'll deserve what you get.
Your viewpoint may be different, but the fact is, it's WRONG.

  • Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?

    Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
    tanks for help!

    Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require  very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
    Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
    This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
    PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work.

  • I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer?

    I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

  • IS there any way I can view Adobe Flash sites on my iphone?

    Is there any way I can view Adobe Flash enabled sites using my iPhone?

    Search the App Store. There are some browsers that process Flash at their servers, then sent it to the iPhone. They are generally slow and unreliable, though.

  • My effects are locked, is there any way to unlock it?

    I have final cut express 3 HD and the effects are locked for some reason and is there any way to unlock them? I have a macbook black, so is it because I don't have a separate video card?

    The effect is a transition? Are the clips butte together? Do you have handles to extend the clips to create the overlap?

    Once again it has nothing to do with the folders in the Effects tab being locked.

  • Is there any way I can download Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version with my processor?

    Hi, I do need to work on something with photoshop. I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version, the installation was fine, but
    when I clicked on photoshop icon, a massage comes up, saying "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS6, becase it is not supported on
    this type of Mac"
    I found information from here: http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/tech-specs.edu.html
    Photoshop CS6 requires multicore intel processor with 64-bit support,
    I guess mine isn't enough for this? I am using
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM
    I tried to download another versions but, 10.6.8 only goes with CS6.
    So is there any way I can get photoshop in this situation?? I really need to do something by using it!!!!

    Not the most helpful error message from the installer?  No details on why the system was rejected?  That's something I'd consider to be some amateur-level programming in the installer.
    You don't have a 64-bit processor.  Intel Core series is 32-bit.  Intel Core 2 series (and later) is 64-bit.
    Depending on what you're looking to do, try Acorn from Flying Meat?

  • HT4623 Is there any way I can increase my memory without deleting stuff?

    Is there any way I can increase the memory on my iPhone 4 without deleting stuff?  eg by purchasing extra memory?

    No, there isn't. The amount of storage on an iPhone is fixed and cannot be increased. Your only options are to either delete stuff or purchase an iPhone with larger capacity.

  • My iphone 4 is locked, is there any way to reset it to factory settings without using a pc? see the details first please

    so, i know that there are many questions about a locked iphone, but my case is quite different, i think.
    i just happened to change my passcode this morning before fasting (i'm fasting) and then i left it charged while i went to sleep. stupidly, i didnt write down the new passcode and after a good sleeping, it seemed i've lost my good memory about the passcode and i cant get closer to what it is. ive erased my phone through find my iphone, but i have no idea how to use the phone brand-new because the phone isnt connected to any internet connection (my connection is a bit obstructed here so its really difficult for me, hence my country), so it seems i cant enter the setup assistant. ive tried to enter recovery mode with itunes on my pc, but my itunes is not the latest version (it's still 11.1.xxx), so my itunes didnt detect any iphone in recovery mode but instead always ask for new software update for the device. i cant update my itunes due my connection problems. si im stuck with remembering what's the passcode until now. i dont care if i have to lose all of my data, as far as i can use my phone again, i just can re-isntall all the apps later. so please can anyone help me? im so desperate. thanks.

  • I recently inherited a macbook pro when my good friend passed away. the screen is password locked. is there any way around the login without knowing the password???

    How can I get past the password locked login without the password

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • Is there any way to complain about Apple Games Center users?

    Some users log of repeatedly in an attempt to get you to quit once you begin winning. Does Games Center have any of the functionality of Xbox Live when it comes to reviewing users? Thanks a lot!

    Yes. For Game Center: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4314
    Scroll down to near the end of the page and click Report an issue with a Game Center customer
    It's primarily for reporting egregious behavior. If users just flake out on you for winning, Apple isn't likely to care.

  • Is there any way windows 8.1 can be installed on an early 2008 iMac?

         Hello apple community! I've had various desktop maps since the mid-90's, but over the past 6 years I have found myself limited many times due to my computer being incompatible with many third party programs and various games that are only supported by windows. Therefore, I have finally gone out and purchased windows 8.1 from my local best buy to be run alongside Yosemite. I brought in all of my computer specifications and was told that I would be able to run the operating system.
    The minimum requirements are as follows:
    Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2
    RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
    Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
    My specs are as follows:
    iMac (20-inch, Early 2008)
    OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)
    Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    RAM: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (just updated)
    Hard disk space: 332.3 GB free of 639.28 GB (plus a new 1 TB external drive that is in the process of being filled)
    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    Apparently my computer can only run bootcamp 4 and not bootcamp 5. Therefore, windows 8 is not supported for it can only be installed with bootcamp 5.
    Sources: 1.Boot Camp 4, OS X Lion and Mountain Lion: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
                   2. Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support
    However, I've read articles about people possibly getting past these limitations, but they don't exactly follow my issue and may be outdate. Such as, http://www.videograndpa.com/?p=2628. I've seen posts from people in the forms saying that they are running windows 8 on their early 2008 mac, but they are from over a year ago. I've also read that apple may have had support for these operating systems, but dropped them, but the links to this information were broken. Best Buy has agreed to let me return Windows 8.1, but only for store credit. That is not fair if it turns out that I can not install it operating system when I was told I could by their employee.
         So, in conclusion, I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can install Windows 8.1 on my iMac from early 2008 with Yosemite and if they could walk me through it or link me somewhere that can. Thank you for your time.
    William

    Don't use a virtual machine, it's kinda cpu intensive. You CAN install windows 8.1 on your 2008 iMac. I know this because just a couple weeks ago I installed an official windows 8.1 disk on my 2009 iMac. You do NOT need to use bootcamp for it although you WILL need the boot camp drivers. Just put the drivers onto a thumb drive. You will need to install them manually, it's really easy though, so don't get discouraged. The only thing you need bootcamp for is to download the drivers onto the thumb drive. You can also download drivers for bootcamp version 5 from the apple website.
    Here is how you do it: Go to disk utility inside applications folder and then utilities folder. Add a second partition to your mac and format it as FAT32.
    Put the windows disk in your computer and reboot your computer. Hold down the OPTION key and then choose the "windows" disk then hit enter. Follow the instructions.
    In the beginning there will be a screen asking you to select which partition you want to install windows on, highlight it, and then click on "format" because it is then going to reformat the partition as NTFS. It only takes a second. Just follow the installation instructions, it's pretty straight forward from there. And just to forewarn you, apple doesn't care to update the drivers for SOUND, people with iMac's running windows don't have sound so you will need a third party sound card adapter with a headphone and microphone jack and use either headphones or an external speaker. I got a cheap one from ebay for just a few bucks. I use the "Syba" brand and it works, it even plays that pretty windows startup sound. All sounds work, even youtube.
    Thank me later! By the way, I think you will find that windows 8.1 runs way faster and smoother than mavericks or yosemite. The mac os's have gotten pretty buggy and bloated over the years and so I think we are making a switch to windows at the right time. Everyone is saying how much better microsoft has gotten and I can tell. I have everything pretty much set up how I like it in my windows 8.1 partition and it's pretty fast. Also, it is WORTH IT to pay for the MacDrive software. Just google it. It will enable you to view and change any apple formatted disk/drive, including your mac osx partition on your internal hard drive. This is important for me because all of my music is on my mac partition in itunes and I need it to add music to my iPod classic 160gb but with macdrive I can listen to the music in vlc player or windows media player. I don't think I will install itunes on windows because everyone says the windows version is buggy.

  • Is there any way to publish from Adobe Muse directly to a domain without Business Catalyst?

    I'm getting extremely frustrated with Adobe Muse. I think it's ridiculous having to go through Business Catalyst to publish a website when I have already purchased my own domain. Please tell me there is a way around this.

    No problem. We recognize it would provide a more consistent user experience if we merged all possible output paths under the "Publish" experience. It's just not something that's hit the top of the priority list, yet. Enjoy Muse.

  • Is there any way to save an Adobe Acrobat X Pro pdf file as a Word file WITHOUT section breaks?

    I need to save (export) several pdf files as Word files. I need the Word files to NOT have  section breaks. Is this possible to do?  I have tried the options in the Settings (Retain flowing text; Retain page layout) but it does not help.

    Actually when thate are saved as Word what you see on the screen is what you get in Word. Where the lines end show as returns so you may have to hand remove all returns to join all parts of a sentence. So there may be  section breaks or page breaks that you have to remove.  

  • I got this message when trying to install this Add-on (radio-australia_toolbar-2.7.2.0-fx.xpi) "Signing could not be verified. -260". It was on your webb site so it should be OK and is there any way arround it?

    I received this message while trying to install this Add-on, "Signing could not be verified. -260". Is there any way I can get it to install? Since it was listed on your site I would think it would be relatively safe to try out! Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.

    cor-el, thanks for the feedback. I tried deleting the META-INF folder as you suggested and tried installing it. It appeared to install but once Firefox was restarted it did not show up in the Add-on's list. I then tried leaving the folder there but deleting the "zigbert.rsa" file as it seemed to be the one with the signing or verification information and that maybe the other two files had information necessary for the install. Once again it appeared to install but it did not show up in the Add-on's list. I have to assume from this that it did not install. Thanks for your help but I guess I'll just have to pass on this Add-on and not worry about it. Thank you so much for your assistsance! If there is anything else I can try I will but otherwise I am happy to just forget about it.
