What can be done when my ISP is down and a Cloud payment is due?

I love Adobe products. I've been using them since the late '80s. I make my living by using Adobe products. I've owned single programs and the Master Suites, and I've been on the cloud since it started. But I've got a major problem in that in my location in the Smoky Mountains, there's only one ISP that reaches my home/office. It's a small operation, and service can be intermittant, especially over the weekend. They have no one in their office from 5PM Friday until 10AM Monday—tech support is simply voice mail.
Okay, so this weekend their operation was down shortly after they walked out the door on Friday. I had shut down at about the same time. Saturday, I fired up on a job that was due today, Monday. Photoshop and Illustrator were my main workhorses for the project, but Photoshop wanted to "license" my cloud subscription (or whatever it does once or thrice a month). It dutifully went webside to complete the transaction, but since my internet connection was down, I was refused access to my programs. All of them. Every stinking one! I went through all the things I could in case the problem was at my end of the connection, but I finally turned to my iPhone and went to my account on the Adobe Cloud site.
Seems you can't make any progress there either!
So, for an entire two and a half days (Monday morning being shot to... wherever) I've been unable to work because the cloud has no access in case of an internet interuption.
I vehemently object to this kind of system! Frankly, it sucks! I enjoy the frequent updates to the programs, but I would be a lot happier if I could have a disk with the program on it. That program might go back to the previous release or upgrade, and I might not have the latest bells and whistles, but I could at least keep on working. $600 a year for the Cloud access is a lot of money to fork out for something that's so fragile. I lost money and client confidence this weekend because I couldn't get my job done. I just have to guess that I'm only one of hundreds of people that get caught in this kind of morass due to one kind of problem or another. It's just not a good system.
Give us a break, Adobe! You know you're the only ball in the playground, can't we all play?

A cloud payment should automatically be deducted from your credit card on file and would not be affected by an ISP outage.
Licensing phoning home and checking to see if you were authorized to use the products is another story.
Supposedly CC only needs to phone home every three months to check if you’re licensed, but that’s clearly not what happens, where people have to authorize every time they get into PS, sometimes multiple times a day, or at least every time they reboot—this seems to happen to me.
I agree that Adobe needs to either fix what is currently wrong, or at least relax their authorization a little, to give people a chance to resolve things before being locked out.
In your case, since your business relies on CC being authorized, it might be time to check into get a tethering option through your phone or a Wi-Fi hot-spot for when your internet isn’t working.

What can be done when Cold Fusion 9 ODBC Services will not install?

What can be done when 64-bit Cold Fusion 9 ODBC Service will not install on a Windows Server 2008-R2 64-bit machine? Yes, most of the things in other discussions have been tried.

Hi GDMVU,
Save the below code as CF9_RemoveOdbc.cfm
<cfscript>
//login using admin
//createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("administrator_password" );
createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin");
//instantiate datasource object
myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");
</cfscript>
<cfscript>
     writeOutput("Removing ODBC Services...<br>");
     returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice();
     writeOutput("ODBC Services removed");
</cfscript>
Save the below code as CF9_InstallOdbc.cfm
<cfscript>
//login using admin
//createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("administrator_password" );
createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin");
//instantiate datasource object
myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");
</cfscript>
<cfscript>
         writeOutput("Installing ODBC Services...<br>");
         returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice();
         writeOutput("ODBC Services installed");
</cfscript>
Now try the following steps:-
Change admin password in above .cfm pages for your CF 9 server.
Use RemoveObdc cfm page first to remove any existing faulty/corrupted Odbc services.
Use InstallOdbc Odbc services to install Odbc services there.
Hope this helps.

Anit Kumar

What can be done when the Customer Relations Department fails to call? Disgusted and appalled.

I have had a sony KDL-W590B (same as the W600B but from Costco) for less than one year. The original television had a dark spot in the upper left hand quadrant. I contacted Sony and was instructed to do a factory reset on the television and exchange it at Costco if that did not fix the issue. It was not fixed so I exchanged it per their instructions. The replacement KDL-W590B worked adequately for 10 months and then developed a dark, dead spot in the upper left hand quadrant. I contacted Sony and was advised that I could receive a new downgrade as a replacement (the new 48R510C which has 2 HDMI ports compared to the 4 on the W590B and horrible input lag) or I could request a facory recertified W590B. I chose the latter and received the replacement the next week. The replacement was broken. The image on the screen was barely discernible through the black spots and circles all over the screen. I called Sony and explained the situation and was told on Wednesday 5/27/15 that I would receive a call from the Customer Relations Department no later than 1p.m. on 5/28/15. I called back at 3p.m. on 5/28/15 and was told that there are no supervisors available at Sony and that I would have to await a call from the Customer Relations department no more than 24 hours later and he claimed to escalate the issue. I called back at 4p.m. on 5/29/15 and was told that I would have to await a call back from the Customer Relations Department no more than 24 hours later. I called back at 4p.m. today, 5/30/15, and was told that the Customer Relations Department is closed on weekends and I should receive a call from them on either Monday 6/1/15 or Tuesday 6/2/15. My Playstation Plus membership expires tomorrow and will not be renewed. My PS4 and PS3 will be traded in this week. My Sony HTC-150 sound bar will be sold. At this point I just want my money back so that I can buy a decent product from a decent company. Done with Sony after 20 years of supporting them because I get no support in return. Seriously, all I wanted was for them to call me and help.

Alright! I got a response from Charlie by phone after posting today and she was very helpful. She explained what happened when I had my issue escalated on 5/27 because after receiving my third defective KDL-48W590B (this one a factory refurbished unit with a 90 day warranty period to replace a defective set that was purchased with a 1 year warranty) I requested either a refund or a working television with a 1 year warranty. Apparently the expectations for the reply from the Customer Relations Department were set incorrectly. What I should have been told was that a reply after an escalation should take 24-48 business HOURS. This is quite different indeed. The Customer Relations Department is open from 9-6, 5 days per week, so that means that 48 business hours is actually 5.33 business days. That's over a week. So while I expected a reply within one business day as I was explicitly promised on 3 separate occasions by 3 separate Sony employees on 3 consecutive days, it was really over a week. The fourth day, today, 5/30, I was told that I should receive a reply either Monday 6/1 or Tuesday 6/2, which is when I took to the internet to post the complaint at the beginning of this conversation. That was all wrong though. Charlie explained that I should have been told to expect a reply, once my issue was escalated, within 5.33 business days. That's if you are available to answer the one phone call that could come any time on any business day. After she explained this she offered to replace my defective television with a new in box unit of the same model with a 90 day warranty. This would have been perfectly acceptable if there had not been 3 prior defective units and repeated issues even getting a reply from the Customer Relations Department. At this point I would expect at the very least a television with its original warranty period (I don't care if it's new or refurbished as long as it's guaranteed to work for longer than 3 months, especially if I have to go through this process again) or a refund. Maybe even an upgrade? Not from Sony. She indicated that maybe I can get a refund if I submit another copy of my receipt and wait for her to process it and call me back. Unfortunately I am travelling for work and will not have access to it again until Monday, 6/1 and then I can await her reply within 5.33 business days. Hopefully I don't miss her call and can get either a working, guaranteed product or a refund so that I can purchase a Samsung television (complete with 3 year warranty). I made it clear that I will be very upset if I do not receive a response by Tuesday, 6/9 as she promised. The follow-up e-mail that she sent is posted below: "Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc regarding your KDL48W590B. This is to document that I contacted you over the phone to discuss options to resolve your issue today. As agreed, kindly reply to this message with attached copy of your Proof of Purchase. Once valid receipt is received, please allow 24-48 business hours for me to review your file."

What can be done about my lack of coverage and service?

I am well inside 4g coverage area and have been in the same house for over 5 years now. In that time our coverage has gone from 3 bars down to 1 bar within the last year and a half or so, and starting a couple days ago our phones think we are in roaming??
Minorly off topic is we have been lied to repeatedly at the local sales store and or corporate more than once, the largest pain being the fiasco in "renewing" my military discount I am eligible for by being a disabled vet. had it for years then we get a mail saying it needs to be renewed, go in to local store and they do the paper work, corp says they didnt get it we have to jump through a bunch more hoops its finally reinstated.
So is this crappy service and lack of coverage tho map shows us more than covered just part of what we pay over a hundred bucks a month for? No way to complain to anyone but to other people with problems? Canceling our account will be a big hurt financially up front but be a little easier on our pocketbook in the long run. (we would have to do local land line phone service which is almost as much and with no features at that, so not much easier)
Is there some way out of this as they are no longer providing the service they did when we signed up? thi site is a mess and impossible to find actual help for anything, they will sell me more stuff and give me a person even if i want to buy something. an issue tho? fergetaboutit, go cry on a forum.
Basicaly now that my crying is done, does anyone see any options that I am not? thank you for your time.
also, this says im my wife .) im not, this is Jeff. thats another area where even "my verizon" page is a mess. we both on the account but each spot canonly have one person I guess. the billing is in her name (she keeps track of the bills) the phone account is in my name so we can get my discount etc etc

We have been with them for years, would love for them to care. but I have seen the dwindling support and the removing of power from those who use to be able to help over those years. I challenge any verizon employee to be seen even. I cant even find an e mail address or any other way to contact verizon other than to buy more from them. This is their "provided customer service" so thought I would use it as a last effort as I know of nothing else to do. I was hoping someone out there had some luck somehow and could give some advice or one of those employees I have seen on here rarely in the past might be able to help or something.
I basically came here assuming I was going to just have to cancel our account as the early cancel fees would be cheaper than continuing to pay for nothing till contracts up. buying their booster the store tried to sell us would probably solve the problem and may be cheaper in the long run but I am also tired of the "give us money while we do less" crap going on with this company. 5 years ago we had fine enough service in my house, we have watched it fade over the years (even tho they say they are putting up better faster service in the area) until we had to go outside to keep our calls connected to now, we are put in roaming while at home. I shouldnt have to keep paying more to keep my service I originaly paid for in my opinion.
I thank you for any help you can find and your continued responses on this thread. But this is also not your responsibility. I am thankfull for anything you can find tho. I am also doing my research into who all I can complain to, not that that will help either, but it might keep one more person from them and much like here it is probably only good for venting. nothing will come of it, but it least it wont stay pent up inside.

White screen of death with some text, what can be done?

Anybody knows what can be the reason for this particular screen? What can be done?
I bought over eBay, and discovered that the logicboard was changed...
Tried few times to restore, but same results.. sometimes the screen becomes completely red.
The display works fine, from time to time it starts correctly and I can activate the phone and play around.
I tried DFU, but I get the error 4013 in iTunes during the restore, then it switches to recovery mode and a further restore gets interrupted.
Is there any deeper way to completely wipe phone's firmware, to make sure there is absolutely no software issue?
Or should I bring it to the Genius bar?

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil" I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
Thanks for any help

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to Restore, it apparently "disappears" out of view past the upper left corner. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize. What can be done to move it back?

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to restore one, it apparently "disappears" out of view beyond the upper left corner of the screen. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize in the task bar. When Restore/Move/Size are clicked, the pointer just goes to the upper left corner of the screen with all combinations of clicking/dragging having no success. What causes this, and what can be done to move it back?

If a window disappear then using the system menu can make it reappear or make it possible to move that window in view. I don't know what causes it to make the window disappear in your case if it does work correctly if you start Firefox.
You can check the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to open all links in tabs in the current window.
