Why does Adobe try to trick me in an underhand way to install Chrome and the Google toolbar?

In a word... "Money"

Why is adobe forcing me to download Chrome and the Google Toolbar with Flash?

Why is adobe forcing me to download Chrome and the Google Toolbar with Flash? I'd rather not see CNN videos than have to have Chrome and the Google Toolbar on my computer.

the only way Adobe was offering the Flash download from CNN was if you accepted Google Toolbar and Chrome at the same time.
You shouldn't download Adobe software from anywhere but the adobe.com domain. If you download it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ you will get an opt-out for Google Chrome (or McAfee, or whatever is on today's menu):
Better yet, use the offline installers that were posted earlier.
While I use many Google products and services, Google Chrome is not one of them. I especially don't like how it installs, setting itself as the default browser without asking, and when you uninstall it, it will remain the default browser, which of course causes lots of problems.

Why does Adobe Flash Player 11.9 keep installing over and over on Windows Internet Explorer?

I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.9. When I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash Player (i.e. NBC News.com) the system keeps asking me to install Adobe Flash Player 11.9. However, Adobe Flash Player 11.9 is ALREADY installed on my system and is working fine. Each time I try to re-install Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't do anything except go through the installation process. Tell me how to stop the notifications.

You've probably got cached files that keep sending outdated info to pages you visit.
Download this file: Deep Clean.zip
Close IE. Check your task manager to be sure the iexplore.exe process is terminated.
Unzip the file.
Double click the deepclean_set.bat file.
A command prompt window will open and your Disk Cleanup settings manager will open too.
Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
Then double click the deepclean_run.bat file.
Again, a comman prompt window will open, and your Disk Cleanup will run, clearing many more files than the standard cleanup does. It WILL take a while to cleanup.
When it finishes, you can delete the deepclean_set.bat file as you won't need it again, but keep the deepclean_run.bat as it can be used to "deep clean" your disk whenever you need it. Save it in your documents folder.
Afterward, open IE again and go back to NBC. You shouldn't see any prompt to upgrade anymore.

Why does adobe try to force Google Chrome on to my computer and a Google Toolbar! Thats is fasist!

also why does adobe require so many updates! why can't they get it right the first five hundred time i update it!
why cant i update or down load with out having to get google tool bar to be spyied on? WTF? And Google Chrome if i wanted Google Chrome i down load it directly!
Google collecting and storing information is an invasion of privacy! If Adobe is so free thinking and so advanced, ask if we want ******** toolbars downloaded it sucks when you think your down loading something and get a new webpage and toolbars. Dont do business this way. Its arrogant & ignorant

Adobe never installed anything on my computer I didn't want. You can always uncheck bundled software that is offered with the standard downloads, or use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd party software.

Why does Adobe Elements 12 destroy my Olympus makernotes section of the metadata

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements 12 and pointed it to a test folder with some of my Olympus OM-D E-M1 photos. I viewed the file properties from within Elements which showed all of the camera info, exposure, aperture, lens used, camera make and model etc..... I then added a couple faces with the facial recognition, added some captions saved it to the Metadata and then went back in to look at the file properties from within Elements. All of the makernotes were screwed up. I no longer see the lens, exposure or any of the camera data. What's up with this? I verified it by running EXIFTool and it shows that the makernotes now has corrupt info that EXIFtool can not read - this ends up being stuff that Elements added in.
Doesn't anyone care about camera maker notes? Doesn't anyone use this information? I like being able to go back and look at a picture I really like and see exactly what lens I was using, focal length it was set to, and all of the other camera settings at the time of the exposure. It helps me learn and improve my skills. Doesn't anyone else do this?
Is there any software out there that does NOT destroy this information?

Try asking in the Photoshop Elements forum here:

You will probably find someone who can answer your question there.

Why does my apple ID password work everywhere except iTunes and the App Store?

I need help guys my App Store and iTunes are not accepting my apple I'd password, but it works online? Does anyone know what to do

It's not meant to be an answer, it's meant to be a suggestion.
You'll notice I said, "Try"...
You can use the email form here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
Maybe Apple can help you directly.

Search here..why does my home page have music notes dancing around and the word (null)

hi

\o,
Just in case anyone else stumbles upon this issue and is wanting answers....
I raised the issue with an apple service rep.
This appears to be a bug. Current theory is that when the phone enters sleep mode (which can be anything from 5-15 minutes or even longer depending on apps that are open and other phone settings - mail, push settings etc) the music app is resetting, well not exactly, anyway it forgets its in shuffle mode if it was in shuffle prior to going to sleep. That is, when the phone goes to sleep the shuffle setting resets to shuffle 'off', as this is the default shuffle setting.
This will require patching in a future iOS update. Might be the next one, might not be. Its not really a major bug so it might not get prioritised for inclusion the next iOS update.
Apparently I was the first person to notice this.. very surprising. I'm sure others have had the same issue but maybe just not realised it was a reoccurring bug.
Wait and see what happens after the next iOS update.
Kind regards,
Mikeymus

Does anyone else have horrible feedback since installing Mavericks and the new IOS for your devices?

I am so frustrated since installing all of these new updates...they took a great app like FaceTime and totally ruined it with feedback. I even went to the apple store and they reset my phone after finding that apps were crashing, and it didn't make a speck of difference. So annoyed to have to go back to skype on all three apple products. But its the only way to use a video chat now that I can find. Anyone else have this issue

For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

Why does Adobe continue to sell Master cs6 when its discontinued?

Why does Adobe continue to sell Master cs6 when they discontinued the suites and released Creative Cloud CC?

CS6 is not discontinued it is the last perpetual version of Adobe products and is still being marketed. Adobe prefers you to join the cloud. However Adobe knows many intelligent customers will not be joining their cloud.

Why is Flash player installation installing Google Chrome and a Google add on?

Perhaps I didn't see that some other items were checked before I clicked the install button for new Flash player plugin, but I'm very annoyed that it started installing Chrome and another Google add-on without asking me. I as able to quickly cancel the installation before they were installed. What's up with this? If I wanted Google products installed, I'll go to to Google's website and install them. I don't need Adobe sneaking extra stuff in.

Use the FULL installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Nothing is ever bundled with those.

Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7. I'm sure it did when I first got my computer. Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.

Why does Adobe sneak Google software into Flash Player updates?

Why does Adobe sneak Google Toolbar and Google Chrome into Flash Player updates? I am tired of waiting for this alien software to download and, in some cases, having to uninstall it.

We don't like this yet tolerate it becaue ADOBE is unconcerned with OUR opinions and there is no suitable replacement for Flash or Reader as of yet. However, I am certain that the "Land of Opportunity" will soon provide an alternative to accepting this deceiptful practice and we will abandon Adobe Flash en mass. Only when this policy affects the price of stocks will Management take this seriously. Once it hits their pocketbooks, they will take notice but the question then will be "is it too late?" I am also looking for alternatives to Google and would appreciate any suggestions.

See also: FASB revenue recognition GAAP
To the best of my recollection, that is what the Adobe rep mentioned. If you look up that phrase, the top return in Google is a PDF file explaining how it works. Good luck understanding it even if you're a CPA.
John Waller has added another link on that revenue law.
To be clear, the accounting issue called GAAP for revenue recognition states that the way Adobe counts R&D and development costs are applied to a specific product version for that version's lifetime. So, all of the Photoshop CS6 perpetual license development cost are applied against the revenue produced by that specific version. Adobe is allowed to add bug fixes and maintenance updates, but no new features for the life of that version. And, yes, this sucks for several reasons not the least of which is that the engineers are forced to try to shove as much new stuff into the most recent version and any updates that can be done prior to the end of the quarter in which a version ships because after that date, new features can't be added.
Generally accepted accounting procedures pretty much force Adobe into this accounting. Yes, there are other accounting methods that would mitigate this, and the subscription license is one such option. Since the subscription revenue os an ongoing stream, Adobe can add new features as functionality to subscription users. Unfortunately, the users of a perperual license can not get those new features and functionality, only new bug fixes.
The bottom line is that sucscription users get the added advantage of getting new features and functionality while perperual license users do not. Yep...kinda sucks, but it is, what it is and it's not really Adobe's fault...the accounting regulations I believe actually came into enforcement because of the whole Enron scandle...
I realize this sort of explanation is akin to talking about sausage making...nobody really want to know how sausage is made, they just want to eat it. Same deal with Photoshop users...nobody really want to know how Adobe has to do their accounting, but the realities dictate what Adobe can and can't do...
BTW, this all has zero to do with state sales tax...although there my be state to state differences on whether a state charges tax for software. But that has zero to do with Photoshop development.
