From what oboewan posted and what I have recieved (and what others have posted in other threads) it seems clear to me that these are automated responses that use keywords within the person's email to decide what those responses will be. Since no AI has yet to pass the Turing Test this is a recipe for disaster. Sure the auto responder will get some of the soloutions correct but, more often than not, it will create frustration on the part of the user looking for help.
I don't believe that it is a real person that is doing the cutting and pasting.
Even if I'm wrong and it is a real person do you not believe that we deserve better customer support for the money we pay for the product? When I pay $00 for a product I expect that, if there is a problem, I will recieve proper customer support without having to deal with language barriers and solutions that don't deal with the actual problem I'm having. Perhaps I'm old fashioned but there was a time when companies would bend over backwards to satisfy the customer.
Follows is my set of emails with them. I sent my system information in an attatchment in the first email I sent to them.

Could someone at Creative check to see if the file at http://ccftp.creative.com/manualdn/D...B_2_5_0006.exe?has become corrupted somehow? If it hasn't then I will ask a friend of mine to download the file to her computer and burn me a copy.

  • Is Warren Buckley a real person-he needs to pay at...

    I Notified BT about a fault with my Broadband on 23rd July. I had been having extremely slow speeds with my wireless connection which was particularly bad in the evenings.  The issue of slow speeds started about 7-10 days before that. I have spent hours on the phone waiting for my calls to be answered by different people in call centres in India. The longest wait I had for someone to answer my calls was 45 minutes.  At times I would be cut off without speaking to anyone after 20/25 minutes leaving me to start all over again. I have spent countless hours on hold in the last 3-4 weeks. Every time they want to run the same tests on my line that have already been done. I was told on 6 separate occasions that someone from level 2 technical support would call me back at specific times which never happened.
    An engineer was sent out eventually after I insisted on 6th August. He identified that he thought we are too far away from the cabinet (1200 metres). He boosted the line and it was working better in the mornings and at non peak times only to disappear almost completely in the evenings and other peak times. The speed coming into the house is never faster than 7-8MG and at times can be as slow as 0.16MG. Even when the signal to the house is 7-8 the wireless doesn't give anything like that. I have done the speed tests with an ethernet cable and it also shows slow speeds. I have used 4 different speed tests and they all show huge variabilility from one hour to the next. We have no other connections in the house and nothing near the hub that can be interfering with the hub. We even had a new hub sent -still doesn't give a stable signal.
    Again I spent hours talking to people who wouldn't listen and insisted on running the same useless tests over and over and
    telling me my line was working! Yes my line is working but I am not getting a stable broadband signal.
    Eventually after a fight I was allowed to talk to someone senior, again in India. His answer is BT can't give me a BT infinity connection because we are too far away from the box. His answer is I need to be downgraded to standard Broadband but this means being disconnected from the Internet for up to 5 days. This is outrageous as none of this is my fault, this is BT's issue and we need the Internet for work purposes.
    I spoke to another person at BT India 4 days ago and was told that moving to BT's normal broadband wouldn't help and wouldn't guarantee me a stable signal. This particular phone call took 2 hours in total as I was transferred to 3 different people. The final person made me do the same tests AGAIN and reset the modem and the hub AGAIN and said it would be escalated to a higher level AGAIN. I was suppposed to get a call back within 48 hours advising me of what the new moniroting of my line had shown. Guess what no phone call and still a uselessly slow internet connection.
    I have a number of issues with this whole sorry saga.
    1) Despite repeated requests to do so I was told I couldn't talk to anyone in the UK. The clue is in the name.
    You are British Telecom.
    2) It can take up to 45 minutes to get through to your call centres and frequently the calls are cut off after 20/25 minutes and the whole process has to start again.
    3) No one ever calls back when they say they will.
    4) One of the people I spoke too said I could cancel my account if I wasn't happy. That's a really good way to treat your paying customers.
    5) I have paid for superfast Broadband for the last month but have speeds similar to dial up.
    6) I get regular e-mails from Mr Buckley who if he is a real person needs to do something about how totally useless his service in BT India is.
    7) I have complained through the 'contact us' button on the website and the people responding to those e-mails don't even bother to read the complain properly and reply obviously from a script they have been given
    I have been a loyal BT customer for nearly 30 years but this experience has left me extremely unhappy and I feel very badly let down. I intend to discuss this with Ofcom and as soon as I can sort out an alternative I will be taking my landline and my broadband elsewhere.
    Linda

  • Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

    Hi,
    just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
    Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
    or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
    Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
    Thank you very much for helping me! :-)
    Chriss

    Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6.  There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

  • For a communications company why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person?

    Verizon is a communications company: why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person? Why when I call to set up a payment plan I get an auto response the sets up my payment date with no option to decline? Why hasn't the FCC shut this company down for breech of contract and lying to its customers?

    Breach of contract? You are in breach of contract by not paying for services rendered.
    Why should you be late paying an invoice and yet expect Verizon to keep your device on? You are breaching the contract.
    #PMT from your device gives you an option for payment arrangements. The system more than likely can only extend the due dates by a certain number of days.
    *611 or 1-800-922-0204 and ask to speak to financial services and ask them to extend the date.
    Verizon would be out of business if everyone just paid them when they please.
    Good Luck

  • QT still stuttering - How to talk with a real person at Apple about it

    Does anyone know how I can get a hold of someone at Apple ( like a real person to talk to )? I’m a PC guy and have never had this much trouble figuring out anything before. All I wanted to do was d’load a song - legally. I got ITUNES>made an account> looked up a song> and it played like crap ( stuttering ), So, I bought the song thinking I could put it on another machine and play it ( nope, not authorized ) So, I’m stuck with a .99 cent piece of crap. The amazing thing is THIS HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO. I have listen to hundreds of folks here grope around in the dark, some having success some not, without a peep from Apple. Is this how they operate? If it is, I’m sure not seeing why they have a such rapid fan base.
    Plan and simple – I need to talk to a live person NOW. I have been through the boards at nausea have tried everything posted ( and I do mean everything, more then once too ) and now I plan to get my .99 cents back because I don’t believe Apple is up to the task of fixing this customers problem.

    That's because the Discussions are user-to-user only; Apple does not provide technical support through these forums. If they have something blanket to say, they do it through an article in the KnowledgeBase.
    As to your problem; it is just with some tracks, or with any track you import or purchase? If it's just certain tracks from the iTunes Music Store, they may well have arrived corrupted from the record company (the record companies provide the tracks; Apple doesn't handle the compression themselves). In such a case, you need to contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them. There is no telephone number; Apple, as is the case with all download music stores I've seen, doesn't find it cost-effective to provide telephone technical support.
    If it's all tracks that are affected, then perhaps this KnowledgeBase article will help:
    iTunes and QuickTime: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly
    I bought the song thinking I could put it on another machine and play it ( nope, not authorized )
    So just authorize that second system. All you need is to have it connected to the Internet long enough for it to contact the iTunes Music Store. If the track stutters on that system as well, then the track is almost certainly defective. Contact the iTMS through the link I provided above.

  • I need to talk to a real person NOW!

    I am showing $50 in my account balance, which is my monthly fee, but for some reason it is saying my monthly unlimited plan has expired. I have been trying to get a real person on the phone for over an hour now to no avail. 611, even if I push 0's, eventually says "We're sorry YOU'RE having trouble, goodbye", as does 1-888-294-6804 and 1-800-922-0204. Someone please help! I am furious and in tears! This is my only phone and can't afford to pay by the minute. I shouldn't have to drive to a store, in tears and angry, to talk to a real person. I am VERY disappointed in Verizon Wireless customer service.

    Try this it usually works for me Dial the Prepaid Customer Service 1-888-294-6804 when the 1st recorder message starts push # 4 then when the next message starts  push # 4 again,  when the mext message starts push # 5 this will take you to a human voice.  You don't have to lesson to the whole message just click the numbers as soon as the message starts, it saves alot of time. Good Luck.

  • How does a customer talk to a real person?

    How does a person talk to a real person at Verizon these days.  I have been trying for three days to get help.  I am on hold an average of 45 minutes before I hang up feeling frustrated.  I can't get a live chat or send an email, so what can a customer do?  I am so fed up with Verizon and there bloody contracts are ridiculous.  Every little change requires a contract renewal.  I am soooo frustrated!!!!

        No need to spend time on the line havan! We would love to assist you right here. What's going on? How may we help out?

    Yes, . . .Customer Service has been awesome most times, . . this shortcut should help bunches with the phone tree, which may need revamped some also.   It's Telesales, Shipping,  and  Returns that need an overhauling!

  • How can I talk w/a real person for password support?

    and why do I continue to get a pop up screen saying "safari wants to use "login" key chain??  Help.

    What's the problem? We are easier to ask than a real person on the phone. If you'd really like to talk to someone about it, call 1-800-APL-CARE during business hours, or see the international numbers list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    The login keychain is just your stored passwords. Mac OS calls any set of stored passwords a "Keychain" which is viewable in the "Keychain Access" application. Your basic, catch-all keychain is your login keychain. Basically, you should grant Safari access unless you have a good reason not to.
