Why does Adobe keep adding in unwanted 'features' that annoy their users?

First Adobe made it so that if your browser isn't looking directly at a flash, it slows down to about 1 FPS or less with no option available to disable this 'feature', making it impossible to play numerous idle games around the web. But I wasn't too much of a fan of idle games to begin with, so no harm done to me directly, at least.
Now whenever you clear your browsing history, Adobe decided in it's wisdom that we wanted to delete all our flash save files as well. Without so much as a prompt to ask us if we wanted them deleted. Without even bothering to tell us that this was happening. So many, many hours of gamesaves gone. What the hell, Adobe?

  • Using IOS 6, why does it keep adding an unwanted alert?

    I have deleted all entries of this particular event and then re entered it as new and a week later it did it again! It starts adding an alert the day before at 9am. Not to all entries, it just seems as if it is this particular set, or if I try to delete and replace. Crazy, I know. It should not know the difference between events but somehow it does! No one else has access to my calendar but me and I am only using ICal. I am stumped. I must be doing something stupid or this program is seriously possessed. :-)

  • Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

    I am really disappointed that after installing an update to  Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
    This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
    Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support. 
    Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
    I am running windows 7

    Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
    2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
    3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
    4Deselect (uncheck the box) the  \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and  click the \"Next\" button.
    5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
    6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
    7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file  located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under  \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
    8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
    9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

  • Why does Adobe keep crashing for no reason on the newer versions of Firefox?

    I tried updating the flash player after updating to the newest version on Firefox and it still doesn't work. That flash player problem needs to get fixed. This is so annoying! It does that on versions higher than Firefox 13.
    I also have the hardware acceleration turned off.

    this is fucking nonsense. no matter what ver ion you choose for both ff and flash its always crashing on my PC .
    I believe this time its because of flash itself. god damn adobe , will they ever build some software right ?

  • Why does Illustrator keep adding a "-01" to filename when saving/exporting?

    Is there a way to turn this off? I can't overwrite files like i want. When i either save or export a file, Regardless of what i name it, when i click save, Illustrator is automatically adding a "-01" to the end of the filename. Then i have to go back in and manually delete the old file and change the new filename by deleting the "-01" on the end. This has caused me to delete the wrong files a few times.
    It's annoying and i'd like it to stop!
    Thanks!

    Actually, unchecking the "use artboards" only works to a certain degree. If you have any artwork sitting outside the artboard, it shows up in the saved or exported file. That can be a problem if you like to open Illustrator files in Preview to make quick PDF proofs for clients (like I do) or need to open the file directly in Photoshop. In that case, you're forced to check the "use artboards" option in order to hide any temp/sidelined art, which triggers the numbered naming scheme.

  • Just updated Firefox to 3.6.9 Adobe was updated also. Why does Adobe keep trying to update everytime a new Firefox window is started?

    This action is very annoying. Whenever a new Firefox instance is started, a window pops up saying it is updating Adobe. Then another window comes up showing what is being updated. But it is blank.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
    Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You can find the links to download the Flash plugin for Windows at the bottom of this page:

    Go to: 3. Download Adobe Flash Player : Flash_Player_10_Plugin (All other Windows browsers)

  • Why does adobe keep crashing for no reason on higher versions of Firefox than Firefox 13?

    Any idea for this? This is very annoying and a waste of time. I even have hardware acceleration turn off on Firefox.

    Download the  Flash Player uninstaller.
    Save it - DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Link as".
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
    Close your browser completely (check the Task Manager to be sure the Firefox process is no longer running).
    Run the uninstaller to completely remove Flash Player.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the installer to replace Flash Player.

  • Why does adob keep charging sales tax to a not for profit?

    I have repeatedly sent tax exempt forms, spent over 6 hours on the phone that could have been better spent enjoying your fine products. Two accounts, one is tax exempt. one is not. Why is this so difficult to resolve?

    Hi,
    Please contact the support through call/chat for the tax exemption request.
    Seems your account is still not tax exempt.
    Contact Customer Care

  • Adding % field, why does it keep adding 2 more digits?

    I am trying to add a percent field that will be used to calculate a discount field.  Ill add the box, type in 25 with the idea it will show as 25%, but instead it shows up as 2500%.  Ive tried all the options I can see for that text box but nothing will change it to show as a basic 25%.  What am I doing wrong?

    Divide the value they're entering by 100, or use your own custom formatting
    script to add the percentage symbol.

  • Why does Adobe keep telling me I need an update for my Flash Player?

    When I say OK, it says my system won't support it. Shouldn't it know that before telling me I need an update? I am runing Snow Leopard.

    You can try to download the latest version from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

  • Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

    I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
    Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

    Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
    As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

  • Why does adobe flash update by default try to install their security product?

    I like adobe products. What I don't like is the continual push on installations to install other products (i.e. security) when installing something as simple as a flash update.
    It becomes a bit tiring after a while to continually having to carefully survey every install/update to make sure that something I don't want is by default added to my system.
    How about making everything optional that is not directly related to what I am installing or upgrading.
    Eventually I will just stop using the adobe products and will find some other company that does not do this. I hope all the companies marketing departments
    are listening to this. I am sure that I am only the tip of the iceburg of people who are tired of this deceptive practice and will move somewhere else where this is not done.

    There are "standalone" installers that don't have the "bundled junk"
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Adobe doesn't push them because they offest costs by having McAfee/Norton/Google pay them for each download that IS bundled. And complain as you (and everyone else) might, the practice ISN'T going to change.

  • Why does Adobe implement new features half way?

    The new hover scrub with big thumbnails in icon view would be certainly useful if it was implemented in a way that works. As it is, it's useless. Unless your total footage is about ten clips, you end up with dozens or over a hundred clips with no way to sort them out, unless you love wasting time and you drag them all around in the order you want, which I'm sure very few people are willing to do.
    So why does Adobe bring in a new feature, even makes tutorials about it, when for most people is absolutely useless? I don't get it.
    Oh, and before you nag me about filing a feature request, don't. I already did it, and this is not something anyone should do. Feature requests should be for new ideas, not a crutch for Adobe to rely on to release new features half way, and then expect people to nag them about it to finish them.

    So I would have preferred a little more decency and for the Adobe Premiere team manager to say, we're not going to include this incomplete feature in CS6, we're going to get it right and include it in 6.5 or 7, in a way that people actually can take advantage of, because this is supposed to be a professional NLE, not a toy.
    Hi,
    I think what you meant to say is that you wish the team would have implemented sorting features before they added hover scrubbing. Hover scrubbing is a separate feature than Icon View, which has been in the product without sorting capability for years.
    I agree with you that sorting capability should have been added to icon view long ago, but that's no reason to hold back a cool feature like hover scrubbing to the UI.
    The other thing is that we as editors do not know what goes on behind the scenes during software development. There are a number of reasons why hover scrubbing made it into the interface before sort capability.
    Hover scrubbing might have been developed by another group, and key features important to Premiere Pro users were not yet added.
    There was not enough time to implement the feature, and other features took precedence.
    Implementing the feature broke 5 other things when it was added to the existing code.
    Implementing the feature causes the application to crash more frequently.
    Other reasons that are privy to software developers.
    Not saying that any of these things happened, but we cannot know. Honestly, there's not much more we can do as users can do but to request what we want, and how we want those things to work.

    why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me.

    No idea.  What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?
