Thought bloatware was only for sketchy profiteering companies.

But i guess I was wrong. The simple fact that I have to custom install anything onto my PC is in itself a hassle, but when something like flash becomes that monster.....well, it's frankly abhorrent. Adobe is the last company I expected to have this gripe with, but sure enough, you're lame partner PC Optimizer I Don't Do Anything that Even a Slightly Computer Literate Person Can Do has snuck its way onto my system. Can i get rid of it? Sure, simple. Does it piss me off? To no end. The amount of time I have to spend to keep my PC healthy is absurb, and I blame you. Because you have a public forum for it. Because you're a giant in the field. It comes with the territory, so deal with it. The sheer fact that I can't contact you short of a forum post tells me how little you actually care. I don't blame your for making a buck. I blame you for actively making it difficult, or impossible, to keep unwanted junk off my PC. So here's to you, moderator that might actually read this post. Maybe I'll at least get a response from you. Maybe you'll have something enlightening to say. Somehow I doubt it. But I'll be checking my email anyway.
With much chagrin,
Drew

I have no idea what that is, or how it got onto your system.  Not with Flash Player, I can assure you.  Perhaps you should run a malware check on your system?

  • I Thought This Was Only Supposed To happen To Microsoft!!!

    Wow... I almost was a believer is all the hype... Bought an iPhone last year (for double of what you can buy one for today... triple for some...) and was seriously going to a MacBook Pro this coming week and moving fully out of Microsoft products, but...
    Why couldn't Apple possibly give a current customer a SLIGHT bit of preferred treatment over the 3G minions, and give us the 2.0 upgrade maybe just a day earlier. I mean, we probably deserved to get the latest firmware a little bit earlier than the people that are getting a better phone at a far better price...
    Did I say Wow already???
    I was almost a believer...

    No, I live in Charlotte,NC.
    My update is working. And, actually I don't care about the delay with that, it's just the complete lack of regard for the current customer. Look at the iPhone page... completely littered with 3G hype, with a tiny balloon on the bottom about a 2.0 update for current customers... Crap.

  • I didn't realize Firefox 4 was only for Mac OS X 10.5 and higher. I have OS X 10.4 and need to reinstall Firefox 3.6 if possible.

    Having no Firefox is bad! Can you link me to download 3.6? Please

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Help...installer said i was signing for boxes

    Yes I was on the phone running my business while the installation was taking place. I wasn't paying much attention to the installer but while I was on the phone i was interrupted to have me sign a paper. I placed my customer on hold and I did asked what is this that I'm signing? He said it was for the boxes and for the installation. I said they told me that the installation was free he said I'd have to sign or he'd have to take the equipment, well because I was on the phone with a customer I didn't have time to focuse on him and what he was claiming he had to do. Plus he was there 3 hours I just said I will have to call Comcast because they were not suppose to Bill me for installation. He coukd care less he ran out of the house without even training me on how to use the equipment. So my first Bill arrived okay I paid it didn't see anything out of the ordinary now this month my Bill arrived and boom there it was $725.00 including my regular monthly bill. I was floored so I spent 2 hours explaining that I did sign the paper but that I basically thought I was signing for the boxes I never knew that the install was included in that paper plus I knew I had an email stating that the installation was included at no cost to me. I still have to call Comcast and will do so tomorrow but having to prove to them that I have this email even though they should clearly have a copy of it is so frustrating and takes so much time from my short days but I understand that I have to prove this or pay what they somehow think I owe even though they should look at my history and see that those fees were waived not just because I'm me but because since March 12 1015 I had been trying to get Comcast to install cable which sound crazy in its self that I would wait 4 months to get cable. Quick reason I waited so long was ever sales person I spoke to would promise something different and every time the techs came out the brought something different to install. so we went through this 3-4 times and trust me it wasn't fun or funny but I hung in there now it seems their trying to get the last laugh. I will call them and i will return to this forum to update my outcome. I know I shouldn't have signed but if I was being told by the installer that he wouldn't get paid and that it was only for the boxes than why should I doubt him. Plus I knew I had that agreement in writing via email. So will see what happens. I just hope I have good news to report to all. Wish me luck.

    I apologize for the delay and any frustration regarding the installation charges on your monthly statement. I do see that you have been assisted by a representative and some adjustments have been made. Please reply back if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  • IMPORTANT WRT600N Logging only for diagnosing problems

    I purchased a WRT600N and was attempting to use the logging capability to log to another computer. After MANY weeks of trying and working with Tech support I was finally given an answer.
    The problem was, logging stopped each time after about 8-12 hrs. Let me say I have about 6 computers connected for my kids, wife and myself. We play games, surf the web, download stuff etc... almost 24/7 so my network has a lot of traffic.
    After calling the corp. number I was sent to a support team that told me the logging in the WRT600N (and even the remote logging) was ONLY FOR DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS, NOT FOR 24/7 use.
    And if I wanted to use it that way, I should log into my router and clean out the LOGS MANUALLY every 4hrs.
    I mentioned it did not say logging would not work 24/7, and was told it did not say it WOULD work 24/7 either.
    This is like saying if the router did not work 24/7 there was nothing saying it would.Any suggestions? Thanks!
    (Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

    No.. after leaving it hooked up for a few days to the remote logging,  the logging starts again...but the info is old data. I know it is old data because one morning it said one of my computers was sending out data at 7:30am.  That was impossible because the computer had been off for almost 7 hrs.    The logging works for 8-12hrs then stops, if you leave it hooked up...sometimes it starts again with old data but the correct timestamp...then will stop after a few hours...over and over.  But support says it is working they way it was intended. 
    I have worked for one of the big three auto companies in their Information Systems div. for the last 15 years and work with the larger Routers from Cisco and I have never seen this before.   It is clearly an issue in the firmware.

  • Is the Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2 ?

    Hi,
    Is the Apple iPad Air Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2nd generation ?
    There is no mention on the box and as this is a gift I received, the sticker on the back which identify the model + price was removed.
    I wanted to know whether if the midnight blue color was only for iPad Air 2 or existed also for iPad Air 1 ?
    Best regards,
    FXR

    The Midnight Blue is a new color, specifically for the iPad Air 2

  • I bought a new iPhone and only photos from the last 30 days were transferred to my photostram on icloud. I thought icloud was the storage for all my old photos. How do I access the old photos on icloud?

    I bought a new iPhone 5. Only photos from the last 30 days were transferred to my photostream on iCloud. I thought iClud was the storage for all the old photos. How do I access the older photos than 30 days on iCloud?

    Where, exactly, did you read anything from Apple that suggested that iCloud Photostream was permanent storage?

  • I signed up for cc a while back and thought i was supposed to receive both ps and lr but i have only been able to use ps.  I pay the monthly 9.99 subscription. Does this price level not include Lr?

    i signed up for cc a while back and thought i was supposed to receive both ps and lr but i have only been able to use ps.  I pay the monthly 9.99 subscription. Does this price level not include Lr?

    Sounds a bit odd to me.  Like Gene says, if you are signed in to the Desktop Application Manager, it should recognize you and the plan you are on, and let you install LR without asking for a serial number.  Try signing out of the Desktop Application Manager by clicking on the cog icon > Preferences > Account tab > sign out.  Then sign back in again.  This forces the Desktop Application Manager to scan your system (it normally only does so once every 24 hours looking for updates).
    If LR is still not inviting you to Install it, then sign in to your Adobe account .  See what it says under My Subscriptions. I don't have the Photography plan, so don't know what you should see, but I imagine it will be obvious.  Click on Manage and see if that makes sense.
    If still in trouble, I think you would do better starting a thread in the Creative Cloud forum that deals specifically with this sort of issue.  You'll also find some FAQ links on that page that will likely give you a clue as to what is going on.
    Bottom line is I have never been asked for a serial number installing LR from the CC Desktop Application Manager.

  • I thought I was getting more GBs for my ipad and it ended up the Icloud, I purchased $20.00 annually only to find out this was not what I needed and for sure I do not want it annually.  How can I get a refund?

    I thought I was getting more GBs for my ipad so I could download from the APP store and I ended up getting for $20.00 annually more storage for my ICLOUD; this is not what I wanted, how do I get a refund?

  • Hello I have a iPhone 5S all of a sudden my music that I have purchased only plays on 1 speaker.  I thought it was a bad audio cable so I brought it back to the store.  Only to have the same thing happen again. What is going on?

    I have a iPhone 5s all of a sudden my music on my iPhone would only ply oit of one speaker in the car.  I thought it was the Audio Cable went and brought another Audio Cable and the same thing again.  I than plugged my son phone which is a NOTE 3 into the Audio Cable and it started playing fine.  I purchase all of my music from the Apple Store and one of the reasons is because I enjoy listening to my phone with my playlist inside my car.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Apple needs to fix this ASAP or refund me my money back for all the songs I purchased.

    If you connect headphones to your 5s do you also hear music on from one side?
    If yes get a light and inspect the headphone jack and clean out any dirt/debris/ etc. you find in there.
    If that does not fix it you will need to get your iPhone replaceed under your warranty.

  • HT6154 iOS 7 and iPhone 4S - I lost my WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities last September with the new OS, and I THOUGHT it was actually fixed this morning with the latest release - my WiFi AND Bluetooth actually worked....for about 5 minutes, but no longer

    I thought this latest OS release had fixed my WiFi and Bluetooth problem, but I was excited for only a minute!  I actually was able to connect to my WiFi at home and paired my Bluetooth to my car - but after a few minutes, the Bluetooth automatically turned off and the WiFi no longer worked.  Is there a FIX to this???  I know it's the OS that disabled them and I'm not paying $500 for a new phone when my upgrade is not availbe for another six months!!!!

    My iPhone 4S did once again did  lose it's wifi connection after running perfectly for about 8 weeks.
    I was streaming Pandora Radio via bluetooth connection at the time, ( not sure if that has anything to do with why the wifi dropped out again, but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
    But!.... I was able to get everything up and running perfectly again by simply grabing my girlfriend's hair dyer heated it up again for about 5 - 7 minutes ( the over heated message even appeared this time) then powered it off, warped it in a plastic bag, stuck it back in the freezer for 15 minutes, took it out of the freezer, powered it back on, and Abracadabra it works perfectly again!!!
    Phone has been running perfectly AGAIN for about a week now.
    One strange thing this time after fixing it for a second time is that the the little WiFi symbol no longer shows at the top of the screen, but the wifi connection and everything IS RUNNING PERFECTLY!
    If all I've got to do once in a while, is spend about 20 minutes with a hairdryer and a freezer to keep my iPhone 4S running perfectly.....well I'm as happy as a pig in s*** :-)
    And please no comments about how I have now voided my apple support etc. I never had any to begin with  (it's a 2nd hand phone and  I really  couldn't care less about warranty issues etc etc etc..... The phone works, and that's all that matters to me!

    My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

    Anything is possible.

  • My computer was stolen so I deauthorized all computers that had iTunes on them on 10/28/2011.  I have a new computer and it was authorized for iTunes.  When I checked my account it says I have 2 authorized computers, but this one should be the only one.
