Why dosen't Adobe support ubuntu any more?

I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 ( can't afford Microsoft any more ) only to discover you no longer provide Shockwave, without having to go through the often difficult task of installing wine then a windows based browser then trying to set everything to work...only to discover that it won't and causes problems with my new OS.
So could help by giving me a good reason why Adobe dose not support one of the largest used operating systems.
Thank you for you help

  • Why doesn't Apple support iSync any more?

    Apple hasn't added any additional cell phone support in iSync since 10.4 was released. If I want iSync support with my Verizon service, I have a choice of three phones (out of FIFTY) -- and two of those phones cost over $150, and the third is about as low-end as you can get. No Chocolate, no V-Cast, NOTHING. Apple wants the Mac to be the center of my digital lifestyle, so why isn't Apple working towards that goal?

    "Apple hasn't added any additional cell phone support in iSync since 10.4 was released."
    Yes, they have.
    For Sony Ericsson phones, Mac OS X 10.4.3 added K750, D750, K600, W600 and Z520 support, Mac OS X 10.4.6 added W600 & W900 support, and Mac OS X 10.4.7 added Z530 & W810 support.
    Many other manufacturers phones had support added in the iSync 2.2 and iSync 2.3 updates part of Mac OS X 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 respectively.
    If Verizon offers a poor selection of phones, then maybe you should look for another network provider. Apple has no control over the handsets each network provider offers.
    The LG Chocolate phone (like all other LG, Samsung etc.) phones uses a proprietary syncing protocol, unlike Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola, who all use the industry standard SyncML.
    You should direct your comments towards the mobile phone manufacturers who repeatedly refuse to build support for industry standards into thier phones, and refuse to provide Mac syncing support like they do for Windows.
    Why do you think Apple should provide support for other manufacturers phones? Microsoft doesn't do it for Windows... the phone manufacturers do.
    Apple have provided the system-level SyncServices framework which allows third-party device manufacturers to create iSync plugins for their phones. It is hardly Apple's fault if certain manufacturers choose not to.
    So, complain to your network provider or phone manufacturer - not Apple.

  • Any thoughts as to why iWeb software is not updated any more

    hello all,
    I'm wondering why apple is not updating iWeb software any more. Does anyone think they will continue to support it?  Doesn't make sense to me that they have abandoned it. With as much as we all use the web, you would think that Apple would want to have the best software out there for us to use with our iMacs,iPhones, and iPads. I can imagine iWeb software out there that would take our web sites built with state of the art web software that would format the sites we build to work and look the best on all the devices apple makes. Seems to me they are making a big mistake. what are your thoughts about why the have pretty much abandoned iWeb. I don't have a clue. Also seems like they are throwing a lot of people under the buss.
    thanks for your opinions
    donald

    It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple since  new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ RSS Feed Widget
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party optionsl  There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and myself have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

  • Why doesnt my computer reload pages any more after power out?

    From time to time I have a power out and it used to be that, when I came back on, I would get a message saying oops, shall we reload the pages you were previously on? Which was great. Now, that isnt happening any more and I dont always remember some of the pages I was dealing with, so I need this feature back. What do I need to do. I am on Windows XP, have cleared my cache and cookies etc so please do ask me to do that again... thanks!

    So after a crash, when you start Firefox, it just goes to your home page?
    Is History > Restore Previous Session available to load up your pre-crash tabs?

  • Why can't I open .pdfs any more?

    All at once I can no longer open pdf files through emails after saving them to my pc. Using Vista and Reader XI.  I can open them fine on my android phone. 
    I read something somewhere about trouble with Adobe AIR.  I don't use it but did download it a few days ago.  I had trouble a few days ago not being able to open the .pdfs.  Then they all opened. Now a day or so later, again I can't open them.  Now I find I can not open new .jpgs either.
    This is what I'm seeing
    Adobe Reader can not open (attachment) .pdf because it is either not a supported file type or be4cause the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).  I sent the email with the pdf attachments to several others on their own computers and they didn't have a problem opening them up.
    I tried to open them through Adobe photoshop.  It said 'Not a valid portable document file'
    This is the first time I have used this forum.  At one point it told me that I wasn't allowed.  That I would  have to speak with my administrator.  I am the administrator.  I am the only one who uses this computer.
    help :-)

    Hello 'Test Screen Name', I did reply to Pat Willener on that question.  I'm not sure why it isn't showing up here.  In response to 'Can you open one of the affected PDFs with a text editor such as Notepad, then copy and past the first few lines......."
    'no I'm not able to open the new .pdfs with notepad or any new default program.  It says 'File Does Not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Crate an association in Set Associations Control Panel.'
    However, I am able to open older .pdfs and sometimes new .pdfs from the same sender I am now having problems with.  I generally only received .pdfs from this one sender.  Can it be that she is saving them wrong?  She says she isn't doing anything differently, but not long before all this started she said her pc crashed.

  • I am not able to open my Adobe Creative Cloud any more...What happened?

          The following is the information shows why I am not able to use my Adobe Creative Cloud. I don't konw why and how this kind of information appeared on my desktop, then I was not able to open the Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Illustractor CC, AfterFX... again, but I am still able to open and use Adobe Premiere Pro,Adobe Audition CC and  Flash.

  • WHY DOESNT KEY BOARD EXPRESS WORK ANY MORE WITH FIREFOX?? I HOST TOURS AND NOW IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL I HAVE TO USE CROME FOR THEM TO WORK

    I USE KEY BOARD EXPRESS TO RUN TOURS FOR A GIN LEAGUE I BELONG TO. AS A HOST FOR GIN GAMES I USE THIS TO RUN MY RULES ECT FOR THE GAMES I AM SETTING. ALL WORKED WELL UNTIL LAST WEEK I CANT USE THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT WORK. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK I HAVE TO USE CROME. WHY DOESNT MY MICROS WORK ANYMORE ???

    First, just a note that writing in all caps is considered shouting. Please don't shout at the volunteers.
    Can you give me an example of one or two of the macros that aren't working?
    Does Firefox not respond at all, or is the wrong thing happening in Firefox?
    Does Keyboard Express run purely externally (just sends hotkeys to Firefox) or does it have an add-on? You can check to make sure any add-ons are enabled on the Add-ons page. Here's how:
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    (1) In the left column, click Plugins.
    If anything here is related to Keyboard Express, trying change it from "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate". This might not take full effect until the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
    (2) In the left column, click Extensions.
    If an extension is disabled, it appears at the end of the list on a gray background. If you find one related to Keyboard Express, you can use the Enable button to re-enable it. If Firefox will not allow that, you may need to update the extension.

  • Why are imported images not visible any more in My Catalogue?

    I am trying to find out if there are limitations in PSE's Organizer that make it pointless for people with large numbers of photos to bother buying PSE 12.
    I imported 1050 JPEGs into My Catalog without problem using PSE 8 but all subsequent imported JPEGs show up as Thumbnails that are Opague with an Hourglass design on them. This makes organizing these images impossibly slow.  When I created a new catalog -- good advice from "andalebbfatima.1" --imported thumbnails were visible again.
    But what to do about the 1050 images in the original catalog? I've got two thick "how-to" books and they say nothing about copying images from one catalog to another.
    More important, to have confidence to buy PSE 12, I need to know what caused the 'invisible' thumbnails in the original catalog and is it something that could happen again after another two years of scanning, importing and trying to organize?

    Glad you got it working.
    For creating multiple catalogs from this original one, you can create copies of the original catalog. Check your catalog location using Help > System Info in Elements Organizer.
    Now copy paste the catalog folder (i.e. the folder having same name as your catalog) in the same location. So now, you have say folders say- MyCatalog and MyCatalog-Copy.
    You may open MyCatalog-Copy from Elements Organizer using File > Manage Catalog. Once this open, you can remove images from it so that only a selected set of images can be organized in this catalog. Now images get deleted from the hard disk in this process. Likewise, you can organize the original catalog.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Why won't Mail display incoming any more?

    Yesterday in a moment of brain-fade, I accidently erased my In-box instead of a single email (OK, I didn't have my glasses on, and didn't read the dialogue box properly). The problem now is that although Mail tells me there's X number of mail in the inbox there's no sign of it. I thought about deleting the account and re-doing it but the dialogue box tells me I'll lose everything. Does that include mail stored in folders? Any ideas?
    vfMarky

    Not sure how do you expect deleting anything to be of any help in trying to recover something deleted previously...
    What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

  • Why can't I rip CDs any more in Mavericks?

    I am having a weird issue since upgrading to Mavericks -- I can't rip CDs.  I am guessing the option is still there, but I can never see.  Whenever I insert a CD in, my Mac will recognize it, but iTunes locks up.  I've tried restarting my computer as well as rebooting the drive (it's external, as I'm an optical-less retina MBP) and changing CDs.
    iTunes *seems* to be the problem, as the drive is working and the Mac is recognizing the discs when I insert them. iTunes is locking up.  I am not sure if this is a Mavericks issue.  This is the first time I've tried ripping a CD since upgrading.
    Any help? Troubleshooting tips?

    I think it might be that you created this card using iMessages or something, that tends to not allow me to create a contact picture...
    Otherwise what you can do is create a new contact and add the emails in using that application, for an example using iMessages, you can click add to existing contact... That worked for me...
