Not happy with Adobe PE7 upgrade cost

To make a long story short I have been using PE3 until late this year due to finance issue (out of work for over a year). Finally on July 28 I upgraded so that I can use PE on my Vista computer - and although my computer is no great speed deamon (3GHz Core2 with 8GB) the reliability of PE4 has not been what I would call "quality programming". Now comes along PE7 that is supposed to finally fix things - oh yeah that will be another $120 to upgrade...

Whether the upgrade is "bug fixes" or new features is a matter of interpretation.
Most users haven't had a problem with any version. Improvements have been made each generation -- but each new version has included lots of new enhancements. Calling these enhancements and new features bug fixes is really unfair to all of us who've been using the program for nearly 5 years with no major problems.
Still, your mileage may vary. And only you can decide if these new features and enhancements are worth the upgrade cost.
Remember, next year there will be a new generation of the product, and it too will be improved in a number of ways. And then, again, you'll need to decide if it's these improvements are worth the investment.

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed)....any ideas?  Using MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

    Just upgraded my  MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012) to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed and prev ok with iPhoto)....any ideas please?

    In iPhoto it was possible to go into the iPhoto prefs and set up Elements as an external editor. After using “Edit in” the image was saved back to the iPhoto library. Photos for OSX is very new, so I’m not sure whether that is possible with the new app. Have you looked for the prefs/settings? You could ask a question on the Apple forum:

    ....partially resolved, in case anyone else with sim prob.....
    ....with Photoshop open you click "Open" (top left) and 'Finder' opens up in the window with 'Photos' listed.
    Select which pic you want to edit (duplicates must be created first in 'Photos") and it opens in Photoshop Editor
    It's all a bit messy but seems to work.

    I have read a number of other threads regarding the loss of Messages, however, I am not aware of the reason it is happening. Check on the right side of this message under more like this and see if you can find an answer.
    As to your question about downgrading software, there is no Apple supported method for downgrading software.

  • I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it? Thanks

    I recently downloaded OS X Maverecks. I am not happy with it. How do I delete it and go back to my original setup? Thanks

    JB6569,
    do you have a Time Machine backup of your MacBook Pro from before you’d installed Mavericks? If so, you can restore from that backup.
    If you don’t have a pre-Mavericks backup, then first I’d recommend purchasing an external drive onto which you can make a Time Machine backup of what you currently have installed. Once you’ve made a backup, or if you’ve decided that you don’t need to preserve your data, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start up your MacBook Pro. When you see the Mac OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility and use it to erase your MacBook Pro’s internal disk. After restarting, OS X Internet Recovery will let you download your MacBook Pro’s originally installed version of OS X (Lion) from Apple’s servers, and will then proceed to install it. Once it’s been installed, you can then restore your data (if any) from the Time Machine backup.

  • Is there a way to get a refund if you're not happy with Logic X?

    I recently bought Logic X and am just not happy with it. Its not for me and I was hoping that maybe I could just return it. Is there a way to go about this?

    No....
    The terms and conditions you agreed to when you bought a license to use Logic Pro X from the App Store do not allow/provide for refunds under such circumstances. Please note the part about you puchasing a license to use Logic Pro X.  This is also why you cannot sell Logic Pro X to another person.... because you didn't buy and own Logic Pro X in the first place... but instead you bought a license to use it... and so you cannot sell it or transfer those rights to another person.
    Now, depending on when you bought your license... you could contact Apple themselves and plead your case...For example, if you bought it by mistake a couple of days ago... and didn't intend to do so...  Apple will normally refund your costs... but based on past examples.. if you 'bought' Logic Pro X more than a week ago, you aren't going to get a refund simply because you are "not happy with it".
    Bear in mind at all times you are not entitled to a refund because of the terms and conditions under which you purchased the license in the first place...  and so Apple don't have to do anything if they choose not to do so.
    Finally, you may also want to read the following.. to understand why posting here is "not contacting Apple directly"

  • Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

  • Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

    I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

    You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
    It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
    There ya go!

  • How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues.  I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

    I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment.  Think before you make changes to your software and programs.  You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
    At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour. 
    A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

    Hi Tricia,
    I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g:  "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
    The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
    I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers.  We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Re: not happy with layout of components

    I have written the front end of a banking application.
    The problem is I am not happy with how the components are positioned.
    Any suggestion?
    I am using gridlayout(7,2)
    6 rows are made up of mainly labels and textfield.
    One row is a panel, which has other components.

    I have an open source layout called AttachLayout that a member of this forum gave to me awhile back. It greatly assisted me and you can check it out here:
    http://www.compaq.com/java/download/attachlayout/
    It's easy and intuitive.
    Let me know if you need more assistance or have difficulty getting the classes.
