Why has CS5.5 support and extensions been Dumped?

If anyone knows of a place to get new extensions for my CS5.5 design suite please let me know as I have spent days trying to find something that works. It makes me sick to my stomach to think I spent all this money for this softare package 2 years ago and now  it appears i own junk that I cannot use or get anything new for. I hope Adobe has thought about all the faithful customers as my self they have throwed the screw to by forcing a paid upgrade to all their apps for their customers that are perfectly satisfied with what they have..Oh now I get it..thats the key..they want to make you unsatisfied with what we already have so we will purchase their new stuff. I hope I am wrong about this and Adobe didnt **** on all their previous customers and suites for this new , money imbezeling cloud software..Thats crap!!I dont want it.. I just want to be able to use what I have to its full potential and with the extension manager going straight to the cloud or cs6 I cannot use it anymore the way I want and Im pissed because non of those extensions are compatible with cs5.5 only cs6 and the cloud which I feel is dirty as hell of Adobe..I hope some one here can show me Im wrong about this. Please help if you can.

I feel your pain.
It's a lesson you learn at some point, although a sour one. I remember spending thousands of euros on studio licenses of Maxon Cinema4d 7, 8 and 8.5, and with version 9 the upkeep became so high I figured I would update one version later - only to find out my license was worth even less, and the upgrade costs would have cost me an arm and a leg. At that point I cut my losses, and switched to Lightwave and Blender.
Same with Adobe: I refuse to buy into the CC subscription, and I had to swallow a couple of times realizing all the money I invested in Adobe software over the years would become yet another lost investment (well, to be honest I did make good money over the years using Adobe software, fair is fair). Let's say I lost my time and skills investment. Anyway, I switched to other software almost two years ago now. I do still use Adobe software in my instructor career, but not for my personal and professional work.
Nowadays I try to stick to and support open source as much as I can, and I support the smaller indpendent developers. I have not regretted this decision so far, quite the opposite. Large behemoths of companies only care about shareholders generally, and less about their loyal customers. 
Not bad or good, merely reality. If you do not like the current situation, change your situation, and take control. Or be happy with what you have - this society and its companies unfortunately continuously endeavour to keep people unhappy and cause endless consumerism - in the end it is not Adobe making us unhappy, it is ourselves who make us unhappy by always wanting the newest thing and comparing ourselves to others.
Yeah, capitalism sucks at times

  • Why have many of my add-ons and extensions been disabled after switching to firefox 6

    Many of my add-ons and extensions have been disabled after switching to Firefox 6.
    None of the Java extensions can be used;
    my Microsoft frame is disabled;
    my media player is gone;
    and my google toolbar with all of my important bookmarks is missing.
    How can Firefox 6 be considered an "upgrade"?
    How can I '''retrieve Firefox 4 or 5'?''--there's no point in using a browser that limits so many necessary add-on sites!

    Hi, mhaoo7--
    Tried your plugins updating suggestion; no go.
    Then tried updating to FF7.
    This time the Yahoo! toolbar was no longer compatible with FF.
    Scoured sites discussing problems with versions 6 & 7
    and decided to retire to version 3.6.19.
    Now both Google and Yahoo! toolbars are re-installed and
    working....Only deficit may be that FF no longer supports or
    soon will not support this version.
    I have stashed all of my necessary bookmarks on Google's toolbar;
    I like its drop-down menu as it doesn't change the page/window I'm
    in the process of using;
    I don't want to see that menu listed separately in a new window (too chaotic).
    Same for the Google dictionary and Thesaurus, which are straightforward
    and easy to use, again requiring nothing more complicated than a drop-down menu
    to search for words and concepts.
    --I checked Firefox 6 and 7's Dictionary/Thesaurus options but unfortunately
    found none.
    So if Firefox continues to upgrade with diminished returns, I'll likely have to go
    to Google Chrome.
    Would rather not do that.
    Maybe I can keep FF 3.6.19 without incurring nasty repercussions.
    Hope so.
    Have enjoyed being with Firefox for a few years.
    Thank you for your attention.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

  • Why has Apple remained silent (and not helpful) on MobileMe & iPhone mess?

    I am puzzled frankly why Apple corporate has decided to remain virtually silent (and not at all helpful or apologetic to users) on its website and public statements regarding the mess people experienced in trying to install the new 2.0 update on first gen iPhones, or currently, in trying to get MobileMe to do even part of what was promised. From a company with such loyal customers, this is frankly baffling. I hope that criticism the company received this week in newspaper columns (see links below) by two generally pro-Apple tech critics -- David Pogue in the New York Times and Walt Mossberg in the Wall Street Journal -- really take Apple to task for its blunders.
    The New York Time's Pogue really hit the nail on the head -- http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/technology/personaltech/24pogue-email.html?em& ex=1217131200&en=9e9469e0fadb7cc5&ei=5087%0A -- by implying that Apple has become just like all of the other tech companies when it comes to being totally indifferent over customers' complaints or requests for help.
    The company even refused to try and clear the air by speaking to Pogue on the record!
    I really wonder what genius at Apple has decided that silence and no form of apology is the best policy. I would think being compared to the competition is the last thing Apple would like. The corporate mind is truly unfathomable.

    2 apologies

  • Why has some of my purchased music been deleted off my iPhone 5 and how do I get it back?

    When I first got my phone I bought some music off iTunes and now I can't find old songs I used to have but they still appear on my iPad. Please tell me how I can get my old songs back onto my phone! I have tried to manage my iCloud too.

    Hey Leo123451,
    I would follow the directions in here to download all your purchased music from iTunes:

  • Why has the camera roll and/or stream roll been merged together?

    Wwe hat happened to my stream roll? This IOS8 system is not as user friendly as IOS7 was.

    Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 and you'll get the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream back.
    If you have already updated to 8.1 go into Settings and turn off "iCloud Photo Library Beta" which will bring back the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream.

  • Why has the "Reload current page" control been moved to the navigation bar Firefox 29? I would like to be able to place it where I had it in Firefox 28.

    After getting the Firefox 29 download I tried to rearrange my buttons\controls to where I was used to having them in Firefox 28 and prior. I noticed, in particular, that the "Reload current page" control is no longer available to be set in front of the navigation bar where I've had it for years now. The reason I chose Firefox in the first place was because I could customize it to my liking. I know you can simply right click and "Reload" the tab or just get used to going to the end (right side) of the navigation bar but that defeats the purpose completely for me.
    Here's an analogy; Ford decides they will now replace current model cars in the US with British standard style vehicles. Every car sold by Ford will now be right-hand steer. While this may seem like a "no biggy" to some, others, especially those of us who are inclined to drive standard transmission vehicles, may be a bit resistant to that change. Not sure if I successfully made my point or not but hopefully I did.
    Initially I thought I'd start by "Has someone fallen and hit their head?' or "Did Steve Ballmer suddenly take over Mozilla, in particular the build of Firefox 29, because this one smells like a Windows 8 (aka the aroma of a full sewer tank on a hot day)?" It is understood that updates are required and as an IT guy, I've been around for many a faux pas where the kinks just need to be worked out. They happen. Maybe some consideration will be made with Firefox 30 to those of us in the states that are used to left-hand steer vehicles.
    I may be missing something here, and will gladly fall on my sword if that is the case, but there is no indication that I've seen from the Mozilla sight that the "Reload current page" control can be manipulated in any way as of Firefox 29. On the bright side, I now have a good reason to go back and review some of the browsers I discounted back in the day when I decided to go with Firefox.

    As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
    # Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
    # Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    # Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
    # On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
    # Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
    # Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
    # Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
    That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
    * Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
    * Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
    * Press F5.
    * Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

  • Why has my clip changed and become magnified.

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm working with 3.5 FCE and transferred a clip (Copy and Paste) on to another Sequence or timeline.
    When I go to play my new clip I see that my settings have changed. In other words what was a face on the original clip now is just a part of the head. Why is this happening? Everything has been magnified and grainy. What to do?

    Well--let me see if I can explain myself better. If I take my HD footage from the browser to the viewer
    it looks fine. The persons head is in full frame. At fit to window it sits @33 %. I then drag it into the timeline and at 25% i have this teeni frame that is now in the Canvas with only the part of the head showing and the parameters looking more like something for DV footage and not widescreen. The fit to window reads 83%.
    Again--this is only happening with the one clip even though it has the same specs as the others.
    Still miffed as to why this is happening and if this is what I'm stuck with.

  • Link longest file support, why Box (not Linux support) and Ubuntu (went down in July)?

    Mozilla Thunderbid dont allow Dropbox to link longest file in emails, but Box and Yousendit dont support Linux Sync, then what can I do when Ubuntu go down in July ?
    Thanks

    OK, I will try to correct my bad English (sorry) in the question:
    I am talking about "Filelink for Large Attachments" in the Thunderbird program.
    Configuring Filelink according to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments
    When I select the menu option: Edit | Preferences | Attachments and click on the Outgoing button, the Thunderbird program show me Ubuntu One as the "service provider", but Ubuntu One will be down on July 2014, then I try to add a new service provider clicking in the add button and Thunderbird show me the window "Set up Filelink" with a drop-down list with only 2 service providers: "Box" and "YouSendIt" but nobody of this service providers works with Linux for Sync. then this is (or are) my question: What can the Ubuntu (Linux) users can do to replace the Ubuntu One ? If Thunderbird and Mozilla is and strong partner of Ubuntu (Linux), why is there not any other service provider, like "DropBox" (for example) in your Drop-down list ?

  • Why has my music disappeared and how can I get it back?

    So its been a few weeks since I last used my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 64gb), and this evening I decided to resync it with iTunes as I had added a couple of new albums these last few weeks (Coldplay and an xmas album, not that it matters of course). After syncing, my iPod now only shows these two albums, but not the other 50gb+ that I have on there. They're still showing and playing in iTunes, and everything checks out when the iPod is connected.... it shows I have it filled with the right amount of audio/apps/etc. But no matter how many times I resync, the old music just isn't showing up on my iPod anymore. I've synced plenty of times before without having any problems.
    Anyone have any advice? I'd prefer to fix it without wiping if possible, as 55gb of music and apps takes a **** of a long time to restore.

    I am not sure if my problem is identical to yours but will post what I have discovered for the missing Greenday music from my daughter's ipod. It has been an aggravation to have to keep putting this music in and after a period of time, it disappears. This is what I have discovered as of yesterday. I hope it helps someone.
    How to keep music/picture files in your ipod:
    I have noticed that my daughter's music and pictures that have been put in her ipod from our PC files happen to disappear at random times. The photos have disappeared twice and the music 4 times. I think  I have finally found a solution to this problem.
    When you are in itunes, you will notice that music files have checkmarks beside each song. The downloaded music files (bought from itunes) are the ones that always stay in her ipod. It is the PC transferred music that disappears. This holds true for the photos too. The ones she takes with her ipod don't disappear but the ones we put in her ipod from our PC do.
    When in itunes, you will see the checkmarks beside each individual song when under music category. That is the itunes menu and the songs that have checkmarks that are your PC files, do not automatically sync each time that you sync your ipod. The downloaded stuff from itunes automatically does, by default, so I will explain what needs to be done so that your ipod knows this too.
    Connect your ipod into your PC. Go into itunes. Click on "ipod" (under "Devices" in left hand column) to whatever you named your ipod. We call my daughter's "marley". So click on "ipod name". On this page you will see your ipod name, capacity version, software version, serial #, etc. If you want your music, the categories are listed at the top of this page, so click on music. You will see, at the top, a checkmark beside "sync music" and boxes underneath with "selected playlist, etc." and other boxes with "include....etc.". Put checkmarks in boxes for which you want. At the bottom right hand corner, you will see a box called "Albums". In this box, anything that you have downloaded from itunes  is checkmarked by default but any files that you have put in from your PC will be unchecked. Put checkmarks in these boxes, click "apply", and sync your ipod after doing this. You shouldn't lose these files again.
    The same thing applies to photos. Go back to main ipod page mentioned above. Click on photos. There should be a checkmark in "sync photos from my pictures". Also the circle with selected photos should be filled in. Underneath that you will see "Folders". Put checkmarks in the folders that you want. This should help you to not lose photos. I have not had issues with video, etc. as we have not put these type of files into ipod yet. This has only applied to music and photos as of this post.
    Hope this makes sence and do hope that it helps someone.

  • Why has iTunes become difficult and frustrating to use?

    I've been a Mac user for 6 years and have always loved them, but since the latest two iTunes updates I've found myself with my old Windows reaction - getting frustrated because it won't do what I want it to. (I'm on version 11.0.1 (12).
    When I search music in my library - either by track or artist - I expect to double click on the result and be taken to it. Now insted I have to right click and be given loads of options, and it still won't show up. User simplicity has always been the key to a great product in my opinion, and now it seems to be going backwards. Perhaps there's something I'm missing, but I don't think so.

    Hi,
    In search box untick search entire library and click on arrow where you can select all, song, artist, album or composer.
    Search works fine for me.
