Nationwide Waste of Time Day

How do you report misuse these days.
As you will doubtless have noticed, some spam has crept into our revered forum.
But how to get someone to get rid of it?

Steve,
There is the Spam Report thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056334?tstart=0
And then there is the Report button at the upper right of each post, and under Actions for the OP.
The former leads to a more determined/immidiate wipeout of all posts by the spammer.

ITunes Match; a waste of time for mobile devices and the impatient

I recently subscribed to itunes match, aside from being able to upgrade a portion of my lower bitrate files, I am extremely dissapointed (as are many others I've read about having the same issues.)
First, getting all of my music on the server was a nightmare. I spent way more time then I'd like to admit tricking iTunes into accepting my data. Quite a bit of my library is in fact available for purchase in the itunes store, but only portions of most of the albums actually matched - the remaining portions had to upload. Fine, I'm okay with that aside from not being able to upgrade albums in their entirety, now I have some tracks at 256, others in the same album at 128 or whatever - I decided to selectively chose alums/tracks that I really cared about or didn't feel like re importing from disc in a few cases. Fine.. annoying, but not a total deal breaker.
I was finally able to figure out how (without apples help btw.. they didn't know this procedure when I spent an hour or so on the chat, screen sharing with a "specialisdt") to trick itunes into uploadeing all "waiting" tracks by doing the AAC conversion myself manually and then replacing the compressed data locally with apple lossless files (both m4a files) while retainging the compressed data on the cloud. fine.. I enjoy trouble shooting and problem solving, I was actually psyched to figure it out and be able to retain my high quality files locally without having doubles or redundant data in an archive elsewhere not within the iTunes data base. Fine. apple lossless is no wav, aiff, but I can compramise also in order to imbed meta data which wav is not able to do.
What I want is access to my entire library and to be able to either stream songs over wifi or 4g and/or download locally for when I'm off network in the boonies, etc. *side note: don't anyone tell me this isn't a streaming service and that it only downloads to the device because it in fact does... it's just intollerably slow more often than not. Now I can deal with that, that is either my cellular provider throttling me, or it's Apple's servers. I will assume a bit of both. also, don't tell me that matched content downloads faster then uploaded content.. that's BS, I've run the tests on multiple devices and there is no consitacy to it.. it all depends on the traffic on iCloud servers, wireless towers and size of the file/leanght of track, etc. Fine.
I've run the speed test, I've rebooted divices. I've reset/confirmed/adjusted network setting.. I've done most of what I could do on my end as a user. I can't seemlessly stream data on my unlimmited data plan from at&t from apple.. fine.. I get it.. regarless of my slow streaming issues - it's a first world problem.. whatever, I can deal.
My biggest gripe is that when I download either matched songs or uploaded content, it's is painfully slow to do so.. it's a waste of time.. manging the library on mobile devices takes forward thought and plenty of patience.. I might as well do this at home tethered to my desktop - convert to 128 to save space and accept my choices and deal with what I have loacally for the time when I'm out and about. Now whren I buy something from apple over the 4g network or even the edge network,... &*^% downloads lickity split.. *** apple .. fine, it's big business.. I get it.. I for one would have paid 100 bucks a year if this service worked as advertised.. maybe more.,.. it's awesome in theory, but is not realy for the limelight even still 2 years after the release.. hopefully it'll get better soon...
Now this works great in my home over laptop, apple tv, but over ipad and iphone.. not so much.. actually working fine right now as long as I don't change the track abruptly... figures after this long rant.... once I continue on my day I'm sure it'll go back to being a pain.
I'm going to use it at home, maybe on the run very ocasionally.. I guess that's what Apple thought we'd want, but they have been so misleading with this, and so abscent with trouble shooting an technical support that I've given up.. if I wasn't so in love with thier UI's and hardware (for the most part) I'd walk in time since steve jobs is now gone.
unless you want to wrestle with it for hours and hours, or just want to upgrade your low quality files and bounce.. don't waste your time people.. ^$^$ all that noise
It's too bad Samsung assinated Steve Jobs.. he'd never let this service be released uptil it was ready. in the future I may have to go to the dark side and get a galaxy tab and smart phone, a Dell.. window vista.. naaaa just kidding. *** apple.. p,lease sort your ^$%&7 out.
Done and done.
please fix this Apple, I want to love iTunes match, I really do.

Firstly, this is a user-to-user forum: you're not talking to Apple here.
Just saying it 'doesn't work' doesn't make it possible to offer any cogent suggestion - one would need a lot more detail on what you've tried and what the result have been - including your operating system details. However if the thing is actually faulty - this is rare, it works fine for most people, but it can happen - then plainly you need to contact the people you bought it from, or take it into an Apple Store if you can, and ask for a replacement or repair.

Premier Pro CC 2014 crashing, wasting enormous time, not able to load files into previous rev - this is crazy!!!

SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE HELP!!!
I have had no problems editing Red Epic 4K R3D files in the past revisions of Premier CC but ever since creative cloud updated me to the latest Premier CC 2014 (8.0.1) I cant get any serious work done as my system is crashing on startup, or after a few minutes of work, freezing on playback at times, giving me artifacts at times and is just a miserable and frustrating experience I can get NOTHING done with!!!
How could Adobe release a piece of so called professional software like this with these now obvious MAJOR issues so many of us are experiencing, wasting massive time and money for all of its users and how can I get this running properly and stable as our livelihoods depend on this software to work and thats what we pay Adobe for ???
I am currently working on :
Mac OSX 10.9.3
Mac Pro 5,1 Tower
Nvidia GTX 660 2GB Graphics card
Cuda Drivers 6.0.37
I use a SSD swap drive and boot drive of 1/2 TB
I have a 6TB internal Raid for all my media files
I am editing 4K Red R3D files in a 4K timeline that I had no problem editing in previous version of Premier CC ???
If Adobe would have thought before changing the file compatibility with the new Premier Pro CC 2014 where you cant load a file updated to this new version back into Premier Pro CC previous revision or included some kind of import / export to and from previous versions I think we would all at least be operational again right now until Adobe can fix its errors in this new revision but they obviously didn't care to think about compatibility, safeguards for users and just adding more new features with a new file format in a buggy piece of software?
I have wasted days now on trying to solve these problems following other users in this forums suggestions including the following listed below:
• Reinstalled my OS downgrading to 10.9.3 originally thinking it was something OS related since I updated to 10.9.4 around the same time this all started happening
• Uninstalled / reinstalled Premier Pro CC 2014
• I have updated my permissions to read/write on my main user account on the Adobe Library files
• I have updated my permission to read/write on my main user account on my overall drive
• I have reverted my CUDA drivers back one revision as these were recently updated as well
I AM TIRED AND FRUSTRATED WITH ALL OF THIS NONSENSE WHEN I JUST NEED TO EDIT SO CAN SOMEONE AT ADOBE PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON ALL OF THIS AND GET ME BACK TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN USE THE SOFTWARE I PAY FOR AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH TO KEEP MY BUSINESS OPERATING AND COMPLETE THE WORK MY CLIENTS ARE WAITING FOR ???
Originally I was very impressed with Adobe CC and Premier CC once I started to work with it after many years of abandoning the use of Premier as a Final Cut Pro 7 user but later decided to try Adobe again when Apple abandoned its pro base with the original Final Cut X. I also did not think this new cloud software model was all that bad over the old boxed method. This was all also before the big Final Cut Pro X update in December 2013/early 2014 where Apple appears to be back to support the real Pros but I have stuck with Adobe CC and Premier CC and been happy since that time. Now I am wondering if this was wise as I have had a number of other issues with other CC Apps, updates, etc and this is starting to feel like Creative Cloud is becoming a big, sloppy, buggy mess to me?

Also...
Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.

O2 Live Chat- waste of time and full of empty promises and lies.

I just wanted to share with you my experience of 'problem resolution / customer care' with o2. This post is directly linked with my as yet unresolved previous post titled 'lack of support from o2 when things go wrong.' Although this is shown as resolved, trust me, it is not !! Below are exerts from the 'Live Chat' sessions that I have had with o2. For fun, you could play spot the offer of a promise, and then try to find where this has been upheld by o2. (to save you wasting your time looking, I'll tell you now, there are none) Thought the matter had been resolved, it looks good, but looks can be deceiving……….o2: I've arranged the credit amount for you.o2: I've forwarded your details to our Support team and filled the Consumer credit request form for you nowo2: And I'm waiving off the amount of cancellation fee £104 for you now.o2: Please be with me while I do this for you now.Me: ??? that is great. I really do appreciate your help. I'll stay connected.o2: Thanks.o2: Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.o2: I can appreciate how frustrating this may be for you.o2: I've done this for you now.02: This will be processed for you in next 3 days and You'll receive the credit in the next bill .o2: Yes, be assured and you can trust me. I've personally arranged this for you now. I hope I've resolved your query to your satisfaction. After seeing that the money has NOT been refunded onto my bill as of yet……………………. o2: Thanks for waiting.o2: You'll receive the refund in next bill.Me: So what does this mean, that you will take 105 from my account on 2nd May and then refund it a month later?o2: Yes.Me: But that is crazy, you have not claimed the money yet, so still have time to apply the credit and thus cancel the bill. Why should you have 105 pounds of my money for one month, when you have already agreed to refund it? This just does not make sense.o2: It's already generated and the request is also been made.o2: I'll request you to call our customer service number for the same. The next month and the next bill, and ………………………… still no refund……….. o2: I'm sorry the refund isn't showing on your account. I understand that this has been stressful for you. Don't worry, I'll ensure that after today, this is sorted for you once and for all.O2: Ken, your details on the previous contract were with phones4u and I'm not able to refund it on that account at the moment. I can see the bill for the termination charge though.o2: Now, would it be fine, if I put the credit on your current account that you've signed up the new contract for?o2: This credit balance can be adjusted with your future bills or I can transfer it to your bank account directly from my end.Me: can you please transfer it directly to my bank from your end please, as it has been outstanding now for over a month, and I don't want it outstanding for longer.o2: Yes, absolutely. I'll do this for you.Me: Thanks, and out of interest why did (previous o2 customer care employee) not do this at the start. Either this or just cancelled the bill that had been created for this amount. This would have saved a lot of time and stress on my behalf in having to chase this now for the third time-albeit I will state again (third customer care employee who I am talking with today) that I know this is not your fault- but I am sure you can understand me being unhappy about this.o2: What I'll do for you is keep an eye on your account from my end and ensure that the credit balance is in your bank account immediately after the next bill is adjusted.o2: Yes, I can understand that this has been stressful for you Ken and I'm sorry that (previous o2 customer care employee) didn't do this for you.o2: I'll try my best to get this transferred to your bank account as soon as possible. I'm sorry for the trouble you've had to go through to get this sorted. Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down.Me: Okay, I'm happy to do that, but do you have a time frame for this being sorted. I appreciate that you are doing your best, but the phrase 'as soon as possible' is rather open ended.o2: I'll email you by the end of day to tell you when the amount will be in your bank account. Would that be fine? Despite the ‘Please give me a chance Ken and I won't let you down,’ no e-mail and no refund to my bank account so here we go again……………………………… o2: I've checked and can see that we have already credited the £105.50 to your O2 account which is still in the recent charges section of your bill and will reflect on your next bill.Me: okay, but as per my chat with ??? , that will be another month and ??? said that he could / would arrange to have the money paid back into my bank accountMe: He also said that he would send me an e-mail later that day re when the money would be paid back. However, by the looks of it this has not be done, because I certainly have not received any e-mails from ???.o2: I'm sorry, you'll have to call us on 202 free from your phone to get the amount transferred onto your bank account as due to the security reasons, the bank account details can't be shared online.Me: Can you provide me with details as to who I should further my complaint to, and do you have a legal department that I should contact if I proceed with this to the small claims courto2: I'm really sorry ken.o2: I can understand now what you are feeling.o2: But please don't take us wrong. I'll definitely add a note to your account and will see that your complaint is soon resolved.o2: You can email our complaints team [email protected]: Will someone from your complaints dept be able to call me tomorrow. If they can then I will happily speak with them. But I feel that I would be wasting my time to contact / e-mail them.o2: As I'm from an online chat team, I won't be able to arrange a callback from them.o2: But I'll request you to call us on 202 free from your phone and you can speak to a manager and resolve your complaint. The above are exerts only from the live chat sessions thus far, as I would not want to post the whole sessions for fear of crashing the system. I have also removed employee names, as I believe that o2 do this anyway when they edit these posts. Please let me know if you have received poor service also, as I am currently seeking to take this further and one option could be to contact someone such as Watchdog from the BBC, thus others may not end up with o2 and this level of poor service.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I have a 24 month contract with O2, £37 a month for the iPhone 4s. My iPhone 4s was faulty, Apple advised me it was a common hardware problem they were aware of and that I should contact O2. The first advisor I spoke to was very helpful. Agreed to swap my phone for a reconditioned 4s free of charge. I asked if I could pay extra for the iPhone 5 and he agreed to sell me a reconditioned handset for £75 and a doorstep swap for my old phone. At first I thought this was fantastic and said yes. Later on, my partner reminded me that I'm paying £900 for a 2 year contract, and for a phone that is supposed to remain fit for purpose for that period (as per the Sales of Goods Act). I started to think they should have provided me with a brand new phone as the fault was not due to me, but due to a common hardware issue. I became even more annoyed when I realised £75 for a second hand phone on top of what I'm paying in my contract was crazy. I contact O2 and explained this matter at length. No joy. Now - that problem might be a matter of opinion, but what happened next was disasterous. The following day I met with the delivery driver, who handed me a grubby iPhone 5 - no case, no box, not so much as a plastic bag. It was covered in some kind of white dust/powder and dirty with fingerprints. The more I looked at the phone the more I felt I'd been dooped. When I went to charge the phone, I realised my old iphone 4s charger didn't fit. I had no idea I needed a new charger and nobody advised me. When I went to insert my sim card, I realised that wasn't going to fit either. No one had advised me. I didn't even get the fork to open the sim card slide. So there I was, stuck without a phone. I opened the live chat. After explaining myself at length, I got a series of "Please hold while I do my best to try to sort this problem for you now" and loads of other cheesey meaningless lines. By this stage I was furious. When the person came back to talk to me, he advised I borrow a friend's charger to use my phone. I explained there was no one and I needed to use my phone that night. I also explained about the sim card, and the dirty phone and lack of box etc. They kept fobbing me off and telling me they would send me a charger, totally ignoring the fact this transaction was unacceptable. I got nowhere, so I hung up. I went to the O2 store to get a nano sim. I explained the situation to the advisor, and he told me to go home and use the Swap My Sim page. Given that I'd explained the entire situation to him, I expected everything would be ok. No. Turned out I needed my old phone and old sim to do this. Back to the live chat. I explained the whole situation to the new advisor and hoped for the best. I went round in circles with him for about half an hour before he got the gist of my issue. That seems to be the general vibe from live chat - round and round in circles, nobody listenting properly and cheesy lines like "my heartiest thanks". My whole situation has made me think I'll leave O2 when my contract expires. Better with a tin can and a string.

Am I wasting my time with from source compiles?

Greetings all,
I have a question, and it may be silly. I'm a gamer but not a hardcore "zOMG I needZ moRe powAh tHan I actUAlly n33d!" type.
I've used Gentoo from 2002 - 2006.
I started using Arch Linux in fall of 2006 and have used it since.
Couple days ago I "upgraded" from my AMD 64 x2 - 2Ghz system, to a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz system with 4 GB Ram and Geforce 560 Ti. I installed Arch Linux and then I installed Gentoo just for nostalgic and curiosities sake, I had a working Gentoo install within a few hours. I'm not noticing that much of a difference in performance between the two, X seems to load a bit faster on Gentoo but other apps in general load the same, have same performance quality and games have about the same exact framerates. Reguardless if I use "default" USE flags or "all dependencies" USE flags (I tend to be an all dependencies type of guy -- but I did both types for my testings) im not seeing that much, if any at all, performance differences.
I should also note that: Phoronix Test Suite actually provided better performance numbers in Arch Linux than in Gentoo Linux.
Now my "silly" question and I want true answers and not just speculative answers.
Am I wasting my time with Gentoo and from source compiles in general? If I generally tend to do all dep compiles, and im not seeing any performance difference reguardless if I do or don't do the all deps USE flags approach, simular gaming framerates, etc... am I really wasting my time with all the compiles and compile time? Thanks in advance.

IME yes, if your goal is overall performance you ARE wasting your time. I have the same results in benchmarking stock Archlinux vs. the same system recompiled with CFLAGS="-march=native etc." on Sandy Bridge. The recompiled system ran slightly slower on some tests. Quite a bit faster on bzip2 compression. Better x264 performance. Much lower latencies, measured using the interbench package from AUR. But the lower latency depends primarily on the kernel. I use linux-lqx with arch=native; it is better than linux-ck or linux-pf in my tests.
I compile everything on my Archlinux system, using xmonad/lxpanel/rox as desktop or, when I'm in an alternate mood, KDE/rox. I don't compile from source for speed (except for math packages like sage-mathematics which can sometimes take advantage of the extra registers and SIMD instructions). I compile from source so that I have a complete system on hand. I once lived off-grid (in a cabin in the Ozark National Forest) and got in the habit of keeping my system ready for self-reliance. I enjoy having source code available for perusal and I modify a few of my packages. I use my own build script that uses meld to help me quickly bring forward my modifications into updated PKGBUILDs from the Arch repository (hey, there's no USE flags but I find that just modifying the PKGBUILD is actually cleaner, less baroque than the circular mess that can happen in Gentoo.)
One word of caution on your Phoronix benchmarks. Phoronix Test Suite was invented for comparing hardware. It uses its own binaries for many of the tests. When looking for the effect of software changes on the same hardware you should use the changed software (obviously). To do this with PTS you need to go into the ~/.phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/pts/<test>/ folder and move aside the folder containing the phoronix version of the binary being tested and link to your /usr directory. For example, in the sqlite test folder I move aside "sqlite_" and "ln -s /usr sqlite_" You can figure how to get each test to run local software by looking at the script in the test folder. If you don't do this, IMO you're getting misleading results from the PTS.

Why does Adobe waste my time?

Why does Adobe waste my time with Emails asking me to download creative live connection preview, when the status page shows it can't be done?

Hi Dave,
I received it a few hours before trying to update, and posted my dissatisfaction the same day.
Letting me look for something that doesn't exist, made me feel my time is not something Adobe cares about.

Serious battery issues, apple support waste of time and money!

My Mac Book Pro 17" has a serious battery issue it holds a charge for a hour or less, and does not always charge. Telephone apple support and all they say is take it to one of there shops to get it tested that will cost me about £40 in train fare and take a day at least. Ive had the Mac since September 2011 i never started using it until late December 2011. A 3 year warranty for what!!!!! And it overheats..... Apple good bye your becoming worse the Microsoft your just making money out of constant yearly updates/releases of your products, Updates which becoming boring!

The thing is you pay for a warranty and unless you live close to a Authrorised test centre etc, then it cost you more in time and money for travel!
I'm really not clear on what you're asking Apple to do. You don't have to go to an Apple store, you can go to any Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). Your warranty is still completely valid. You can find them here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
The title of your thread says Apple support is a waste of time and money. What would have preferred that they do? If you are too far from an Apple store or AASP, you can let them know that and they will usually send you out a box so you can ship your machine back to them so they can check it out. Of course you'll be completely without your machine during that time.
You're comment contains quite a bit of bashing for something which Apple will clearly resolve. Unfortunately, if you live in a remote area where there are no Apple stores or AASPs and you dont' want to send it in, there isn't anything anyone can do to help you.

How to schedule a concurrent request to run at a specified time/day?

Hi All,
How to schedule a concurrent request to run at a specified time/day (ex: Sunday 12pm)?
Thanks,

Is this to run periodically ?
During the request submission, click schedule, choose the specific days, and click on S = Sunday.
Change the start date on the date of the sunday you want to run, eg : 15-JUL-07 14:00:00, change the end date as well.

"Day-Timer" "Day Runner" "Day Planner"

Greetings,
Thru out the afternoon, I have been playing hide-and-go seek in Goggle and Apple Discussions. I am searching for an Apple "Day-Timer" "Day Runner" "Day Planner" type product. I use iCal and Address Book ... they don't offer the variety of features on several PC planners.
It would be wonderful to find an Apple application which I can use on my MacBook (#1 priority) and iTouch. Hope it is out there & someone can point me in the right direction.
Kind regards,

What are those features? If you don't tell us, we can't give appropriate recommendations. (Especially since I'm not sure what a "day timer" and "day runner" are.) If iCal does not fit the bill, you will have to look to a third-party, as iCal is Apple's only entry in the calendar market.

A bunch of reasons Technical Support is a waste of time

1. You need warranty to report a driver bug
2. They cant tell you what type of hard drive your computer needs with out warranty
3. they cant help you with any thing without warranty
4. They have horrible, bug filled print drivers
5. you waste your time waiting for information only to find out that either they know nothing about it or that you need warranty
6. They cant tell you what model of DVD drive the pc takes without warranty, even if you are the webmaster for a scout troop (like me)
7. when you have warranty and you buy a computer you send it back because it has bugs.
-Before you send it, it does not boot correctly
-when you get it back they did not hook up the usb, mouse, external monitor or s video ports
-next time you get it back the forget to even put the network card in the computer
8.The phone support is a waste of money (the paid one) i paid for it and all they said was they couldnt help me because it wasnt supported
9.it is just easier to use fourms
HP! IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I SUGGEST YOU FIX THESE PROBLEMS!

The only common thing above is the WARRANTY.
offcourse you need to be under warranty to get support..

Blackberry desktop software 7 is a waste of time - disappointing!!!

I wish I had not accepted the option to update my desptop software from v6 to v7. I have since been unable to synchronize and have been through the re-installation process several times without success. The software kept looking for 'Blackberry desktop software.msi' under c:\Windows\installer\ folder. I am now fed up!! What a waste of time, this is not good for business.
Can any tell me where I can get the most up-to-date version 6 from a BB site? I would like to revert back to a working software.

Waste of time

Unfortunately the christmas yule tides have started poorly for me as I have just been introduced to the MSI 865 PE Neo2 motherboard.
System specs :
AOpen HX08
quoted motherboard
Intel P4 2.6 @800
2x 512Mb memory modules (pmi)
36Gb SATA Raptor
MSI GF4 MX440 8xAGP
LG 52 CD & LG 52x24x52 CDRW
Firstly let me say that I purchased this board as an upgrade for an administrators machine purely by an order form. We currently have over 30 MSI 6368 and 30 MSI 6714 boards which have not skipped a beat, so I thought purchasing an MSI board for a high end user would be an easy choice.
After sitting through memory crashes during installs, random blue screens, resets and LAN problems I've simply given up on this absolutely loathsome board.
I thought I was purchasing quality seeing as how this was 'not' a budget board, but it seems that MSI expect EVERY user who's looking to buy their product to firstly scour the internet for compatability and hardware issues which may, or may not affect them. This is a joke. Most simple problems on computers can and are fixed by changing one or two settings, or altering the setup of the machine slightly. But having to guess what sort of settings your hardware 'may' like in order to run, or trying to randommly pick a voltage which 'might' give you 20 minutes of stable computer usage is just appauling. If I wanted 'out of the box' compatability issues I would have bought a compaq or HP server .. at least they're up front in saying 'put in something non-propietry and your gonna pay'.
I don't have time to tweak and poke around with machines at work (hey I do at home but thats another story), and dare I say that there are MANY other users out there who don't have the inclination to do that either. To that extent however I take my hat off to all the people on this forum who HAVE bothered to spend the time, your doing a VERY good job.
What I was after was something to provide good performance and could be set up and optimised efficiently. Heck if it had worked well I'm sure I would have purchased a damn site more of them for my workplace, but as it stands I've wasted my time and my companies time messing around with issues which myself as well as many other users should never have been introduced to.
This is simply POOR ..
If I'd purchased a cheaper board the machine would be installed and working by now, but instead I paid more money and received less quality. No wonder the computer industry is going backwards.

Same as Danny, my 865PE Neo2 is not only stable in normal conditions, but also just as perfect when it's being o/c'ed. If you look into ASUS/Abit/Gigabyte etc forums, you'll see that they have their own share of problems too. I hope you understand well.
Likewise Danny have mentioned also, please kindly post the specs of the system that you are encountering problem with.
P.S: Though I've to admit that it's troublesome to surf the net and understand the board well, but I'm sure that many things needs researching to get to a decision made. At least MSI has taken measures by testing the boards with the different types of RAMs and show which are the compatible ones.

My iphone5 freezes my iTunes v11 when connected and I cannot sync or do anything. I have reinstalled iTunes, tried different USB ports, ran diagnostics and said phone not recognised. Please help as have wasted nearly a day and a half trying to sort!

Misled and disappointed - don't waste your time with this "player"

Frankly, I feel extremely misled by the description of AMP on its product page. Calling it a Media Player and all the talk of being able to watch what you want, when you want and streaming and downloading video - all you can *actually* do is watch stuff from the signed up content providers, or that you've already got on your hard drive (and have presumably got a player for already, that will almost certainly take up a lot less screen estate than this beast). Oh, and there's some mention of adding RSS feeds of videos - though looking at other posts here whether that works is debatable. Anything else might as well not exist.
I had hoped that it would be a way of watching embedded streamed flash videos without having to have the whole webpage that they're on open - this would give you just the video, so would be more compact, and would be resizeable so you could watch it at any size you liked, not just the default or full-screen. After all, coming from Adobe, there would be no problem about having to reverse engineer the RTMP format.
Maybe even (though I thought it unlikely) being able to download videos where the provider permitted it - no worry though, there are other tools for that.
Also - the design. A massive window, not resizeable at all except to minimise / maximise. Appalling contrast - it's like being in a cave, everything's so black. I couldn't even see that there were scroll bars - just waved my mouse around where I thought they should be.
It's like having the worst, most useless part of RealPlayer (the download centre, or whatever they call it) and not the player itself. This is *not* a media player - a client, maybe.
Frankly, the only reason I can see for installing this is if there is some content that it has that you can't get anywhere else. If not, don't waste your time - use something else.
Like I say, I'm disappointed. I feel like I've been lied to and had my time wasted. Unless I'm *really* missing something??
Now we'll see how easily it uninstalls...

"DITTO".
JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADOBE MEDIA PLAYER (AMP) AND OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS!
INSTALLATION ERRORS!
UNINSTALL ERRORS!
SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY GONE AMUCK AND GOOFY WITH THIS OUTFIT.
IT IS JUST THE LOUSIEST AND SHABBIEST WAY THE ADOBE MAKES ITS SHAMEFULLY LOW QUALITY (SOFTWARE???) PRODUCTS.
MOST EVERYTHING, ALMOST NEVER WORK RIGHT.
JUST A TERRIBLE WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
ADOBE SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME JUST ANOTHER VENUE PUSHER FOR INTERNET SPAM AD-PUSHERS.
SAD.
VERY SAD.
I AM GOING TO DE-INSTALL EVERY DAMNED ADOBE SHABBY SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
TOO MUCH HASSEL.
TOO MUCH WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME AND EFFORTS.
** NOTE **
FIND OTHER RELIABLE SOFTWARE FIRMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED *.FLV FILE PLAYERS -- FOR THE TIME BEING -- UNTIL ALL *.FLV FILES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO *.MWV OR SOMETHING THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY.
THE *.FLV FILES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL OF THE INTERNET WEBSITES AS UNSTABLE AND SHABBY.
AND SAY GOODBYE TO ALL SHABBY, LOUSY, ROTTEN ADOBE PRODUCTS.
IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT LAZY, DEAF, DUMB, BLIND FOLKS (WITH PANTS AROUND THE ANKLES) AT THIS SHABBY OUTFIT ARE NOT GOING TO WORK HARD ENOUGH TO EVER PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS.
SO, SAY GOODBYE TO IT AND ITS SHABBY PRODUCTS AND FIND ALTERNATE RELIABLE, QUALITY SOURCES THAT MEET OUR, THE CUSTOMERS, NEEDS.
IF YOU READ THIS OUTFIT'S GOOFY LICENSING TEXT, IT CLEARLY STATES THAT: ". . . IT DOES NOT WARRANTY THE OPERABILITY, OR MERCHANTABILITY, FOR ANY INTENDED PURPOSES . . .".
MEANING, EVEN THIS OUTFIT ITSELF DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ITS OWN SHABBY PRODUCTS.
IMAGINE THAT, FOLKS.
WHAT OTHER PROOF ANYONE NEEDS THAT THIS OUTFIT MAKES THINGS THAT YOU THINK WOULD WORK.
WHAT A JOKE.
ACTIONS:
WEB SEARCH FOR:
*.FLV PLAYERS, OTHER THAN ADOBE.
*.FLV FILE CONVERTERS.
WHAT A GOOFUS.
