Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates.....

Why can't Adobe continue to support and create updates for MAC G5 OS X Tiger?
I'm sure I'm not the ONLY owner and operator of this MAC machine. I'm finding it
VERY frustrating how your comany, JAVA and Apple of just written this machine off.
You know, MAYBE I'd be more understanding if this MAC product or ALL MAC
products weren't so reliable. However, like many MAC users out there
there's NOTHING wrong with my machine or my current programs OTHER than the
simple fact I can no longer update Flash player or Java... all because
my machine is no longer supported.
WHY can't updates continue to be made? This way,ALL consumers are happy:
those who feel it wasteful economically and ecologically to
replace a computer with a NEW computer, and those who just like to have the latest
and greatest tech toys.

You can - click on the "Actions" link at bottom left of the post.
As to the rest - nobody seems to like this forum, and what you're saying has been said on numerous occasions already.
It's Adobe's fault for "buying in" this forum (sorry - "Social Business" ) service, but it's Jive's fault for producing such a crappy solution in the first place.

Why can't Adobe offer Premiere Pro (and its other software) as a perpetual licence and via the cloud

It seems clear to me some like the cloud and others don't. Why? Customers have different requirements. Each approach offers attractions to different people. A company ignores its customers requirements at its peril. You just have to remember VHS vs BetaMax - BetaMax was far superior but it is no more. Maybe not a great comparison but the point is even great products fail. By offering both Adobe would secure a wider and happier customer base.

Very true
I am in the UK, we have HD TVchannels but still a mass of SD ones.
4k or whatever will be a long time coming and it will be on satelite first but that is very far off
That said my camcorders/DSLR's all handle AVCHD HD so no expense there for qute a while
My PC is fast enough and I have three cloned boot drives so apart from upgrades due to MOBO/CPU failures no expense likely here
So with all the above I reckon that as long as I do not have any problems that require re-installing the Adobe software then I am good for the next 10 years
10 years of not buying Adobe products
10 years of updating Edius, Hitfilm, or even subscribing to Lightworks (10 years at $60 per year, you do the math)
That is just me not buying
Oh to have so much money, I may even go to the F1 GP next year with all I will save unless they make that subscription only

Why can't Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 Time remap Audio and Video together?

In case you didn't notice, my question is WHY. I don't know why Premiere Pro can't do this. From what I understand at the moment, the only way to time-remap audio in any way shape or form using Adobe software is through Adobe After Effects, which my computer has absolutely no chance of running ever. I know how to do regular stretching of audio in both Audition and Premiere Pro, but apparently I can't time-remap audio using either of these programs.
So why can't Adobe Premiere Pro time remap audio along with the video? What's the reason that it can't? It's a massive disappointment and would be very impressive to see accomplished in the future. If it's possible to time remap audio and video together in After Effects, that's great and all, except for the fact that I can't use that program. Why can't it be done in Premiere Pro and will it ever be possible in Premiere Pro?
Also, will time remapping audio become possible in Audition someday?

That sounds like a great idea. File a Feature Request:

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

missyzz,
which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

Why is installation so complicated? Why can't Adobe and Microsoft get their act together?

I was offered an update to Flash Player. Downloaded it but then was told I had to agree to the licensing agreement but it will not show me the agreement except for a few lines of it. Why do you make things so complicated? Explorer tells me there is a know compatibility problem with Adobe. (I'm running a 32 bit Vista system.) Why can't Adobe and Microsoft get their act together?

I don't know what (exactly) your problem is, or what Microsoft has to do with it, but did you click the little checkbox left of "I have read and agree..."?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.

Why can't Adobe make Flash to control WMV?

I like to use Flash video but my company only allows WMV. IT actually wants people to use Silverlight. I would prefer continue using Flash. If Flash can control WMV, then I can continue using Flash for video purpose. I understand that Adobe wants people to buy Flash Media streaming server, but why can't Adobe just allow Flash to control WMV in a progressive download mode?
Any 3rd party extension that allows this?
Thanks,

There isn't - to my knowledge - any way of playing a WMV in flash, and this has nothing to do with the streaming server. If you buy the streaming server, you still can't use WMV. Its not built in to the player.
WMV is owned by Microsoft, and would need to be licensed ($$) to be included in any plug-ins not also owned by Microsoft.
H.264 (the standard of online video) is open, and usable without cost. Not only can you play any H.264 content with the flashPlayer, you can also play it with Silverlight, and Quicktime.

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Why can't EXS find my instruments and samples?

Why can't EXS find my Instruments and Samples?
LPX 10.0.7
I have had issues with this problem before, and have spent a few hours looking throughout the many related threads on this forum and on Logic Pro Help without finding a workable solution. So I will jump in again and hope for someone to shed some light on this.
Here is the scenario- I have two rigs, one in my studio and another on my laptop (2.5 gh Intel core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM). I have a duplicate of my sample library on a portable drive, which I take with me when I'm using my laptop. I recently copied a Project I'm working on from the portable drive to my main system. When I open the project, I get a message telling me that certain (not all) EXS files are not found.
Some further pertinent info:
I have not saved the EXS files with the project- the project uses a sizable template and that would be cumbersome.
All of the EXS instruments/samples in the Project are there on both my internal sample drive and the portable drive.
The aliases linking my Application support Logic folder and the sample drive are correct and in place.
This happens whether I have the portable drive mounted on my main rig or not. And whether I open the Project from the portable drive or from the copy on the internal drive.
I have reindexed the internal sample drive with Spotlight. Didn't help.
I have refreshed the Instrument menu from within EXS. Didn't seem to do anything.
Anyone?

Hi Sig! Thank you very much for your reply. But my version is iLife 11, and it should have an iWeb and iDVD

Why can't I contact apple support?

It says I have to have the latest browser for Mozilla, Firefox or IE, and I do!! I checked! Why can't I contact apple support? I get trapped in a frustrating circle!

If you can't get into the support site via the web, just call them:

Or you can make an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one on your area.

Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut? Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.

Why can't I continue my sections ?

Hello,
I have a school presentation to acheive, and i have been using Pages.
After about 7 pages on my report, i realized that the software won't let me add more sections. The icon doesn't even seen to be "working" any longer. Why can't i continue my report with the preformated sections ?
Can anyone help ?
Thank you !

Tried saving and restarting?
What version of Pages?
What version of OSX?
What template?
Tried starting a new document? What results?

TS3297 Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.
