What was Adobe thinking?

Maybe Im missing something having come from .Net, but is
there any particular reason that Flex uses a zero based month index
for the Date, DateField, and DateChooser classes?
I'm not sure, but I don't know of any place in the world that
uses 0 to represent January, 1 February, etc.
So basically, everytime I need to do anything with month
values, I will have to +1 to the end? Seems sloppy to me.

So my question it if the month field is indexed on 0 (event
those day is not, hour is not etc), and since 11 is the max value
possible for the month field...
How in the world can I pass a date of December 1, 2007 (which
everywhere else in the world would be 12/1/2007 but in flex would
be 11/1/2007) to a .Net webservice and receive accurate
information?
And I dont think .Net will even respond to a date of January
1, 2007 listed as (0/1/2007)...

I just got the Itunes update. So frustrating. I will be trying methods on this forum to save my library and re-install the older version of ITunes. What was Apple thinking when they developed and released this mess?

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

- If you encounter error -42408:

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

ITunes 7.6 What was Apple Thinking??????????????

iTunes 7.6 is a DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!! What was Apple thinking when they released this update?????????? I can't play audio CDs, can't burn CDs. I've tried ALL suggestions in these discussion threads. I've given up on fixing this. I just want to get the songs I've recently purchased from the iTunes Store to my new iMac which, thank God, is running iTunes 7.5. I can't make a CD to transfer the songs. I think Apple should give me a credit so I can download all these songs on my new computer without paying for them again. How do you contact them? I've looked at all their contact info in the Apple site and none are appropriate to address this issue. I've owned an Apple Computer since 1984 and never had a problem of this magnitude. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same problems here. Since the update 10.5.2 iTunes doesen't work at all for me. I don't have any Plugins for iTunes or the system at all. I did a PRAM deleted, User rights fixed, iTunes new installed, deleted preferences, all with no help.
iTunes is still nor working properly ...
I thought it could be because in Switzerland we don't have the iPhone or the rental store, but since you have the same problems in NY, it's not that neither.

MPEG DVD Pal Widescreen at 1.458 PAR, what were Adobe Thinking?

Okay apart from the fact that Adobe wanted to stiff me for another £999 to upgrade from the CS3 Production Premium suite to CS5.5, my first HDV project on the new system messed up; and I thought I was moving forward (apart from my bank balance) phew got that off my chest. Whichever way you look at this and no matter how many technicians tell us otherwise, DVD players, You Tube, Vimeo, well the world really have been happy using a PAR of 1.422222 for PAL Widescreen and now Adobe are using 1.458 the "correct" PAR for the BBC apparently having read previous threads (well yippee da). This doesn't help me uploading my videos for a client to You Tube, Vimeo or a DVD and having black bars either side, they couldn't care less whether it is the correct standard for the BBC or not they just want their footage to look like everyone else's. What are you playing at Adobe, just give us another option in Media Encoder to export the same way we have been happy doing for years and stop rolling over for the BBC. Incidentally I upload MPEG2 DVD to You Tube and have been getting good results so that is why I am using MPEG2 for You Tube and Vimeo (but I'm sure someone will now give me a good reason not to). I have been fighting Adobe's (and Window's) corner for the last god knows how many years while the Mac crew have been tempting me with that alluring mistress FCP, more stable audio and better colour resolution. Adobe sort this out we've had enough of this nonsense, what is it with big companies they become god like in their sheer arrogance, give us what we want and stop toying with your minions. This really hacks me off.

I understand the frustration that your tone implies, but you've run off the tracks here.
The computer world uses square pixels. Vimeo, YouTube, etc. When people upload anything but square to those services, the resulting picture is distorted, as it's displayed in square pixels. And I see a lot of distorted videos on YouTube.
http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/static.py?hl=en&guide=1728585&page=guide.cs
I'm fairly certain that if you upload an MPEG2 to YouTube, they're going to recompress it to FLV or MP4 for you. It's not one of their "supported formats." So, I wouldn't be surprised if they muck it up.
£999 to go from CS3 to CS5.5. sounds like a pretty good deal to me... that's a three version jump. I also believe Adobe has become more responsive to customer input in the past few years, and not just "rolling over" for big clients. But, those are opinions.

Stupid Me! What Was I Thinking ??

OK, I know, everyone on here is gonna' Laugh & say "WHAT AN IDIOT!!" I agree with you, believe me. A friend of mine gave me the M2452 Keyboard. I wanted to clean it a bit, so instead of taking the keys off & taking it all apart (the Correct Way), I took a semi Soapy Sponge and ran it along the Keyboard. This was 5 hours ago. Believe it or not, I did this with a PC keyboard many years ago & after a day of drying out, it still worked perfectly and was clean. So anyway, I plug it into my PC, which it was working with, prior to the cleaning, and now it does not work. It types different letters words, commands, etc... Could I be Lucky & perhaps after a day or 2, it may completely dry out and start working. I know it's not that big a deal. I can get another. Just wondering what you think and wanted to share my Silly story. I'll keep you posted as to what happens. Hey, what do you want from a PC User ??

The great trick when washing electronics is to ensure that they are fully dried before attempting to use them again. Often, assuming no residue is left, you actually can washed such things as keyboards, and even far more complex equipment, and return them to use, but powered them up (or in the case of a keyboard, connecting to a running system) before it's dry can cause shorts and component failure.
Sometimes, a good rinse with cold, clean, water and a lengthy period to air dry is all that's needed.
In the future, you might find a soft paintbrush is a less risky took for cleaning debris out of a keyboard, and for cleaning off key caps, Blu-Tac (for those in the UK) rolled on the key tops works rather well. Never found an equivalent in the US, but I'm sure there must be something similar!

What was I thinking?

I clcked before I thought about it. Initial stimulus the word annual (means once a year).. The gotcha annual monthly fee. I guess 50 dollars a year may have been a dream cost. Also, CLOUD usually reference is to software you can run from any location on whatever computer you are using. If you install it directly to a computer it ain't in no cloud. So if your gonna use it might as well buy it. Much cheaper that way.
I clicked to quickly and downloaded the creative cloud trial. After that it was buy me trial. It took me a a little bit to figure out how to un-install the thing. I did use the adobe uninstall tool. Which got most of it. I did find it embeded itself into my Nikon View NX2 (really anoying). The Adobe team must really have a low opinion of it's user base.
I guess you can fool some of the people all of the time. Anyway... Just sayin.

Great news! Now could you explain what it is you are actually trying to tell us?

What was apple thinking???

Well here's my story, I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
I have a 4s on pre-order with estimated delivery date 24-31 oct. I'm in Ontario.
Today I decided to go to my local futureshop and maybe try to play with a live demo of the phone, but to my surprise there were tons of new 4s phones in stock for my carrier bell mobility, there were 4 people in front of me and the guy said maybe a 2 hour wait, so I said what the heck I'll wait and buy it today and just cancel my pre order from apple store. So I waited about 2.5 hours until the others were all served.
Finally my turn came and he got the new phone out for me and looking at my account he said I'm not eligible for an upgrade, I say I know it's no problem i will pay full price and just sell my old one like I did last time, he said apple forbids us from selling it outright for the first couple weeks. Boom all that waiting for nothing, now I have never heard of this and he couldn't explain any further. Does anyone know why apple won't let them sell the phone at retail value yet?

The 5G is my first iPod and first apple product and have got to say I love it, it trully is a wonderful product however I must say that the lack of a proper case is very poor when you consider what a trully beautiful item the pod is, and it really should come with a half decent case in order to give a £300 paying customer half a chance of keeping it looking tip top. 2nd the aftermarket manufacturers have seriously missed the boat in not getting cases on the shelves in time.
My only other gripe is I feel that apple`s logic or should i say lack of control over file creation ( sub folders ext- ) is very poor, it would have taken very little extra code to put that feature in, anyway that stinks.

What is Adobe thinking with their cloud version?

The user interface on the Cloud version is just awful. I don't think I've ever used such an unusable product and I've used computer products for 25 years. I do like the fact that it crashes the first time I run it but works the second time. Bravo.

Welcome to the forum. Your thread title is the million dollar question and elephant in the room many others are wondering as well. Sorry to hear of your troubles however.

What is Adobe thinking?

Why are the "powers to be" pushing out an auto
matic Reader update that does nothing to patch the current exploits in Reader or Flash. How many thou
sands of users are going to be tricked by this.

It might seem churlish to complain about free software. However, unless there are free players or readers, there is no point in buying the Flash and Acrobat creation software since there will be no one to view or read the output.
Adobe is historically extremely slow in producing fixes for its players and readers. The ubiquity of its formats means that users of its highly vulnerable players and readers are at grave risk of successful attack by criminals. Adobe has a responsibility, a duty of care, for the online safety of those who view the output of its highly priced products. If it cannot or will not carry out that duty, other companies like Foxit should take over responsibility for players and readers. It is a matter of great regret that there does not seem to be a Foxit equivalent for Flash player. The line taken by Apple on Flash is completely justified in my opinion.
Unless Adobe improves its act and quickly, it will inflict serious self-harm. Progress toward alternatives will become unstoppable if Adobe's corporate head remains in the sand for much longer.
So be it. It's no skin off my nose.
The following Wikipedia article is well worth reading:

Adobe, what do you think about that ?

- one day I was demoing DPS to 35 people in Paris. The whole day the servers were barely accessible. For the reputation and reliability of DPS that was wonderful.
- another day I was doing a little DPS demo for Adobe. Again the same problem.
- another day, the demo was ruined because the servers were so slow.
- this Monday morning, I open my iPad and I can see my latest Folio in ACV.
In the afternoon I join Adobe reps and partners and other VIPs in London for the launch of CS6. There I go with my iPad and what a surprise when I want to show the Folio to an Adobe representative ?
Despite being signed in, all my folios where archived and all in Download state. I could not access a WiFi and even if I could I think that downloading 500 Mb would be impossible.
Many people where asking me :
—"And are you teaching DPS ?"
– I said "Yes, I'm even working on it for real projects."
— "Do you have one to show us ?"
– "No, because Adobe's software, for a reason that I don't understand, deleted all my folios a few moments ago and I would have to redownload them again. ACV sucks".
People to who I have talked to where Adobe people, chiefs of graphic studios (newspaper, agency,...), potential clients for DPS,...
There was even of Adobe person that told me : "We are receiving a lot of complaints about the technical model of DPS, and you're right, it's terrible".
There are so many problems with this app and with the servers.
DPS's reputation will may be better when one day we just play offline with the folios like a PDF in GoodReader for instance.
DPS is exploding my bandwidth.

Peter, that is sad. If a publisher decides to pull the issue from the
server, that's like burning down their own library of things.
Apple wanted adobe to stop downloading such large data into the storage
that will be backed up. So issues now go into the cache, that will not be
uploaded to the Icloud storage.
Because you buy a 64gb iPad, but get only 2Gb of online storage.

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released?

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released? I'm using it now and I think it's great. It's cs6 on stereroids lol More new features that people who fully paid for cs6 should of had.
I do wish the cloud standard price changes to 29.99 a month for all users so everyone gets a chance to enjoy the cloud.

I just downloaded CC, and still have all my CS6 apps as backup. Bridge CC (64-bit) is showing the same unacceptable performance I had with CS6 version. Can't believe that Adobe is so inept. I did fix the CS6 version but I forget how I did it. CS6 version of Bridge is near instantaneous. And it's not a matter of building the cache. It takes the program forever just to respond to a simple mouse click in the menu bar.
Photoshop CC crashed my machine, whereas CS6 version runs perfectly. Afraid to download any further apps.
Adobe 11 failed to install because it think's prior version of the that program is still on the computer. I never installed Acrobat 11 on this machine. Just Acrobat 10, which also got the stupid 30-day "refuse to start" bug, so I'm using Acrobat 9.5 which works flawlessly. Funny how the newer the code from Adobe, the worse it gets for its customers.
I'm using Win 7 Pro, 16GB mem, Nvidia 2800M video card on Thinkpad with i7-920XM chip.

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it. She had a different ipod before this one, and I think we never registered this one, so it seems the computer restored her itouch to what was on her previos ipod. Any ideas?

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it, but itunes seems to have restored it back to what was on an older ipod she used to have. I don't think we ever registered her itouch, and I know she didn't back it up to the computer. Any chance of getting her stuff back? She lost hundreds of pictures.

- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup of her iPod.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.
- Is she update the iPod via iTunes on other then the computer she syncs with the media on the iPod gets erased. Same for if on the syncing computer if the media was not in the iTunes library.

What was your coolest take-away from Adobe MAX 2014?

What inspired you?
What was the story or lesson you could not wait to share with your team?
What made you want to start building when you got home?

Thanks for the link fortunegreen- it's hard to find updates as not much communication is coming from BC on official channels (blog, twitter, emails etc).
From the recording it sounds like there is no roadmap....and with Liquid rollout taking up the rest of the year, not much is going to change to the product until sometime in 2015. A list of options (below) was offered to the attendees of Max to poll on....I do hope the request for input from partners is going to be wider than that if it's going to influence development decisions.
1. Incremental fixed on core modules (evolutionary)
2. Start rewriting modules on top of REST APIs and open platform
3. Fix e-commerce - taxes, stripe, shipping etc
4. Visual e-mail marketing editor
5. Build a mobile app to enable end-users to manage their business from phone
6. Invest into InContextEditing
7. Online marketing features - A/B testing, advanced targeting, re-targeting
8. Uptime and infrastructure
I was glad to see the attendees voted strongly for e-commerce developments (50% - proving it's fallen way behind expectations), and intersted to see in the comments that many thought AWS hadn't offered any significant improvements, if anything it's been unreliable.
Ultimately it's still worrying that there is no mention of BC from the core Adobe presentations, and with a full BC site subscription being close to that of Creative Cloud, it's surprising that there is not more investment in BC...it seems a very small team (working incredibly hard no doubt, but still requiring the help of partners to explain and present the recent developments) and this is probably the main reason why things are moving so slow. There simply isn't resource.
I hope we'll see some better communication from BC on what's happening soon, and that a voting system can be anabled partner-wide to steer future developments.
Fingers crossed.

I started downloading CS6 trial but was interupted. Now I don't have CS6 but Adobe thinks I do
