Why is it Adobe has gone bad ?

After weeks of mucking around - it looks as if I am after over 14 years of supporting Adobe .... leaving Photoshop and Adobe ....
:O(
They say they support us -- promise to call you back and fix your problems .... then leave you for weeks doing nothing!
You call them back ... whats going on you ask .... you explain the issues again ...... they attempt to fix them ...... nope no luck.
We will call you back tomorrow to fix it for you. .......
Again ... no calls at all - you wait for days .... a week no calls ......
Yep this Cloud stuff works well guys - thanks for the frustration - you ask again via email for help ..... third - fourth time ... again do we have to try to get you to help ..... or at least do what you say you will ... call back ?
If you cant fix it .... if you cant even call us back when you say you will ..... why should we believe anything you say?
I know many users are ok with what you have done and many are using your cloud with limited or no issues.
But the measure of a person / company is not what you can do when things are great - but how you support those with issues ... and in this case you have failed.

Thanks Jeff - you are right this is a support forum ... but guess what - this is when people pay attention ... not when it's behind closed doors - then it's easier to just ignore.
In any case what you say is certainly correct - support forums =.
We finally got to moving over to the Cloud base of Photoshop. ( CC PS )
Installed cloud - installed CC PS - all good so far - then open Photoshop - it closed immediately.
Was Cloud open - Yes
Tried rebooting - just in case.
Opened PS - splash screen - menus all going - it closed again.
Ok Check the net - yep its a known issue.
Close Cloud - open PS - Now it tells me I have a trial version.
Open up a chat version of help with Adobe - after a while - and several attempts to fix I get told that I would be contacted the next day as it was beyond their area of help.
1 day - no call - 2,3,4 ...... ok I get it I'm not getting a call.
I call them.
Someone will help tomorrow.
Nope !
So I call back - now the guy on the phone was nice - he really did try to help - about half an hour to an hour later - no good he had to escalate it up the chain - I did tell him I had tried everything he did.
So .... we will call you back tomorrow with a new Tech. .... yeah you guessed it .... no call 3 days later.
Really - c'mon!
In any case this is the issue - it wont start and stay active for me to use.
We did finally get past the part where it thought it was a trial version ....... now it just wont start .......
So yeah Jeff I am pretty pissed off and have had a rant.
Still not fixed.
CS 5 Suite works fine - and so does the Downloaded version of Lightroom.
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate
32MB ram
Photoshop Opens and closes immediately.
"You have cross-posted the exact same message in multiple forums...what you are doing won't actually help you...you know that right?"
Was actually hoping someone else has gone down the road and found Adobe more helpful ......
I do appreciate your point of view.

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

RAM has gone bad 4 times now, anyone else have bad RAM?

I purchased a 17" MBP (Early 2010) the week they were released. In the first 2 months, one stick of RAM would go bad at a time. This happened 3 times. The Apple Store replaced them the first 2 times, but on the third failure (after doing a diagnostic that found nothing) they decided to replace the unit with a new MBP.
It has been just over a month and one stick of RAM has gone bad on my new MBP. This is the 4th RAM failure.
I keep my MBP on my desk 99% of the time. I'm not doing anything crazy with it. It's almost always plugged in to a power source. I've owned many Macs and PCs over the years and never had RAM problems like this.
I got the feeling the genius employee who helped me this time was getting suspicious of the frequent RAM failures on two separate macs. If I were him, I would be too. But I know I'm not doing anything that would cause this (and I'm not opening up the insides of the MBP for fear of voiding warranty).
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Can anyone think of something that could bring about RAM failures this frequent? Was the 1st computer defective and the 2nd one just bad luck with a bad stick of RAM?
If if makes a difference. On the 1st MBP, when booting up I'd get a blank screen, no beeps. With the 2nd MBP, I'm getting a blank screen but 3 beeps/blinking lights that repeat.

Hi
likely to be coincidence, unless you've a very very spiky power supply there, and/or a power adapter that wasn't renewed at the same time as the mbp.

Why is it Adobe has over 6000 posts in this forum that they are completey ignoring.

Why is it that Adobe has over 6000 posts on this web site and obviously Adobe(who has taken my computer hostage}, has done nothing to rectify this situation. They have placed a botched up piece of software out for distribution and have done absolutely nothing for the consumer who unknowingly tried to use it. I for one would like to see some sort of response from Adobe. Are they working on this? Are they going to send us something so the can get 9.3 uninstalled? What?... And by the way, I think you have some program developers that should be looking for another field of work... just a thought..... this was neither developed properly nor was it tested thoroughly. It should never have been sent out for use. And now no doubt there are hundreds of thousands of consumers sitting at home not knowing what to do. Many probably going out and buying new computers becasue they don't realize it is a program issue. Shame, shame, Adboe.... Now you are right up there with WOW

Ok.
A. This is not an avenue to contact Adobe. It's a user to user forum. Just people helping other people.
B. Many post get ignored for many reasons (mostly due to lack of information from the original poster). I'm pretty sure there aren't 6000 post from people with the exact same issue as you.
C. The odds of hundreds of thousands of people having a certain issue is a little blown out of proportion don't ya think? I mean, out of 6 sytems, I'm having problems with zero of them. I'm sure there are others like me.
So, maybe we can all calm down here, explain the problem you are having (be sure to include all details even if you think it doesn't matter) and maybe one of us "users" can give you a hand?

So Adobe has gone fully "only subscriptions?"

So has Adobe gone full subscriptions and you wont be able to buy Photoshop or Illustrator fully?

Yes, Cloud only for all new versions. Announced in May 2013.
and you wont be able to buy Photoshop or Illustrator fully?
Adobe still sells CS6 (the version before CC) online for those who still want a perpetually licensed version (pay once, keep forever).
Don't expect that to last very long. I personally expect it to be discontinued (silently vanish) sometime in 2014 but that's pure speculation on my part. Don't quote me on that.

When do I know sensor has gone bad?

I have had for 18 months. Did not know about "putting it to sleep" when not in use. I am walking three/four miles and my reading keeps saying I've gone .15 miles and burned 4 calories...it was working fine last week, but when I reset my weight, nothing has worked right since? I've tried to recalibrate, but that isn't working either....I don't know what to do next!!

I had the same problem - sensor was saying I'd only run .25 mile when I had done more.
I found this on the Nike+ Support Forums and tried it this morning. It seemed to work for my problem.

Hi Pete_D,
I'm sorry to hear that your new sensor sounds like it's dead or at least dying on arrival. That's definitely not cool!
Before you give up on it, I'd like you to try a couple of things to see whether you can resuscitate the new sensor. If these suggestions don't prove helpful, your best bet is to return the new sensor to the place of purchase. Given the fact that you just bought it, I'm hopeful that a quick and easy exchange can be arranged.
First, though, try this:
1. Put your sensor to sleep and then wake it again. To put your sensor to sleep, remove it from your shoe, flip it over so that you can access the sleep/wake button, and hold the button down for approximately a three count. Then, to wake the sensor, give the button a quick press.
2. Reset your iPod nano. This is a good standard step to take whenever you experience weird Nike + iPod behavior; it won't result in the loss of any data, but it will refresh your settings. Please press and hold down both the Menu button and the center button at the same time, holding them down until the Apple logo appears on your screen.
3. Try to establish an active link by getting aggressive with your new sensor. Navigate to the linking screen on your iPod nano (Nike + iPod > Settings > Sensor > Link) and tap the sensor against your desk or another solid surface to simulate a footstrike. Sometimes, it's easier to set up your initial link this way than by walking around to activate your sensor. Once the sensor has been found, record and upload a test workout; then take a look to see whether the "replace sensor soon" message still appears. I'm hoping that the message is left over from your old sensor, and will disappear once you record a workout successfully using the new sensor.
4. Record and upload a normal workout. Once you've established your link by tapping the sensor, you'll want to make sure your sensor can also pick up your normal footstrike and record your workout accurately.
If these options don't prove helpful, please make sure you return or exchange your sensor as soon as possible. As I noted above, it's best if you can work with the retailer from whom you purchased the sensor. If this isn't a good option for you, remember that Apple offers a one-year warranty on the product; you can visit them in person at an Apple store or give them a call at 1-800-APL-CARE to learn about your options.
I hope this helps, and I hope to see you up and running again soon!
Cheers,
Clover

Upgraded to 10.8.1 and now my WD external drive has gone "bad".

Worked well last night when I moved large files on to it to make room for Creative Cloud apps...
Then this morning after installing 10.8.1 upgrade and restarting, it didn't appear and is unreadable.
Disk utility said it could not repair it.
Have gone to the WD site, downloaded and upgraded the firmware & software, the WD diagnostics seems to be stuck
on the 90% complete mark.
Do you think this is Mountain Lion or do I need to have the external hard drive taken to a place that
can (hopefully) take off all of my client files and time machine backups (ouch!)
Thanks so much!

MommaKaren,
I'm in the same situation, certainly it's a problem with Moutain Lion. I did a rollback to Lion yesterday and my HD MyBook worked as usual.
It's not the first time that WD have this kind of compatibility issues with Apple OS, It seems like everytime Apple makes major chages in its core OS the problems apears.
I'll wait for a solution from Apple (system update) or WD (firmware update).
WD is denying this compatibility issue, but everyday the number of users with the same problem increase, thus expect a solution pretty soon.

Hi All,I have an iMac 24'' 2007 and my HDD has gone bad.

Hi everybody ... I am in desperate need of help,concerning the replacement drive! All I find on Amazon,for example,are SATA III drives,and my iMac,being quite old,has SATA I,I suppose?! My question is ... will my machine recognize the SATA III drive,once installed??? I know that the connectors are identical to all SATAs but,since the replacement procedure is quite complicated,I beg you to,at least,tell me if I have to do something prior to the replacement?
I've read somewhere that one should reduce the thoughput from 6 to 3 GB/sec,or something like that,whith some jumpers,but all that is alien to me!!!
I am pressed by work and deadlines,so I would appreciate immencely any feedback!!!
Thanx in advance,
George
Just for info,I am looking at a WD Caviar Green 1TB SATA III ... ???

The reason I advise having this done by Apple service techs is if you open this iMac up and work on it yourself and you fail to get your iMac working again, you will not be able to bring to Apple, directly, any longer. They will not do the repairs or installations needed to your iMac. You will be forced to take it to a third party Apple authorized service center for repairs from now on if you attempt to do this drive replacement, yourself.
Tearing down and reassembling an iMac is not for a "newbie" or novice computer user/ upgrader.
iMacs do not have any easily serviceable or user upgradeable parts inside.
I have a lot of Mac upgrading experience and the newer flat style iMacs (and the much older eMacs) are about the only Macs I will not attempt to try and work on.
Too many screws and screw sizes. Too many really fiddly and fragile connections. Just too many variables of things that can either break or forget or hook up improperly. The 2005 and newer flat screen style generations of iMacs are just complicated and finicky puzzles to work on.

How do you know when your raid controller has gone bad?

I fired up my xserve raid 14X400 with 2X512mb Raid Controllers and drives 1-7 on the left won't show up at all. I swapped the controllers and then drives 8-14 won't show up. I have been trying to update the firmware from 1.5 to the latest and keep getting an error with the upper controller. I can't find anywhere that you can buy a new controller. Anybody know what I should do? My apple warranty ended in June and I didn't update it so Apple isn't going to help. What should I do? Can you have the controller card itself serviced? Thanks for any help. Also, I'm hoping that my media is still good?
Todd Stanley

Hi
If you have swopped the controllers around and the problem follows the controller then that is a pretty good indication that something is not quite right with the controller. Obviously reseating - basically pulling out the affected controller, a good blast of air inside to remove and dust/grit that might possibly be stopping a good connection and pushing it back again - the controller to see if that makes a difference is one thing you should do. Swopping them over effectively does this anyway. What does the events log in RAID Admin say? There is usually some indication in the log if there has been a problem.
Its an obvious question and possibly you may have forgotten it in the panic but when you purchased the XServe RAID did you not take up the spare parts kit option? If you did install the replacement controller. If you did not and in view of the fact you did not take out the extended warranty seems overly optimistic, your only recourse in my view is to remove the affected controller and send it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist - or deal with Apple themselves. They should send you a replacement under their Global Service Exchange Program. Make sure you send the faulty part as well as knowing the XServe RAID’s Serial Number. They should send a 90 day warranty replacement within 2 days. If you are in the UK its going to be expensive (approx £350VATshipping). Actually its going to be expensive wherever you are.
There is a possibility that one of the other guys knows a method of getting this going again and will hopefully post a suggestion soon. However the sooner you act on this the sooner you can get your RAID array back on line. I do hope you have a current and effective backup in place just in case. You should be doing this anyway.
Hope this helps, Tony

My VPN server on 10.4.11 has gone bad

Hi!
The basic problem with my Tiger server is that users will be unable to login after the server has been running for a while. I have narrowed the possible causes a bit and now it seems like the VPN service is somehow contributing to this problem.
Because VPN needs more than 1 IP address, I was somehow afraid that the problem is somehow related to Samba not working correctly over 2 IPs on the same subnet, because it advertises itself on both or so it seems looking at the logs. But, to narrow thinsg down even more, I removed the alias IP so the server has just a single connected interface with a single IP address. The problem is still there.
When I start the VPN service, this is what I see in the kdc.log:
Mar 24 11:17:56 p0002.prx krb5kdc[313](info): AS_REQ (7 etypes {18 17 16 23 1 3 2}) 212.47.207.2: NEEDED_PREAUTH: [email protected] for krbtgt/[email protected], Additional pre-authentication required

Mar 24 11:18:01 p0002.prx krb5kdc[313](info): DISPATCH: repeated (retransmitted?) request from 212.47.207.2, resending previous response
And after that the last message (resending previous response) just keeps filling the log tens of time per second. But this is just a symptom. The real problem is that from now on the users are unable to log into the domain (the server is the PDC). Samba's log.smbd has line like this:
[2008/03/24 11:21:57, 0] pdbods.c:odssamgetsampwnam(2329) odssam_getsampwnam: [0]getsam_recordattributes dsRecTypeStandard:Users no account for 'agnes'!
Looking at OD settings the checkbox in front of the "Enable Directory Binding" is missing and cannot be set and saved - it just keeps going back to unset status. Moreover, it was not possible to browse user accounts in the WGM.
The system.log had lines like this at the same time:
Mar 24 11:18:19 p0002 DirectoryService[156]: could not load the replica file.
Stopping VPN service didn't help, I just made a restart of the server to restore order in the domain. Also, I think that thing went wrong only after I actually made a VPN connection, just starting VPN service did nothing wrong.
Can anybody help me with this?

My solution was to buy a separate VPN appliance from Nokia.

Photoshop and Illustrator link has gone bad

hi.
I cannot get illustrator to open my smart objects from photoshop.
usually the process is double click the vector smart object, it opens in Illustrator.
Now I get an error message that says
'Could not edit original smart object because the application which created the smart object could not be launched.'
What should I try? I tried calling tech support but they weren't able to understand the issue.

Somehow your OS has lost the association of the .ai file extension with the Illustrator application. (or PDF, or EPS - whichever you are using)
You need to reset that association, so the OS can launch Illustrator when Photoshop asks it to edit the .ai file.

I am pretty sure my video card has gone bad in my macbook pro, I want to retrieve data before replacing it. Is this possible?

My video card has failed and I want to retrieve photos. Can this be done?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I wouldn't worry about that. Take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller and let them repair your Mac. If it's a GPU failure, your hard drive is OK, and you will have the same hard drive with the same data after getting the MacBook Pro repaired.
However, it's recommended to make a backup. As you can't start up your Mac, what you can do is to take out the hard drive and connect it to another Mac through a USB to SATA adapter, so you can recover your files

Is it possible to enter the password via itunes to retrieve information from my iphone if the lcd has gone bad

Hi,
Is it possible to enter the password to your iphone via itunes if the lcd on your screen is preventing you from doing so? i would like to be able to sync my calendar and notes from iphone to my computer but my phone is locked.

No. If you had previously synced the iphone to your computer you would not have to enter a passcode on the phone, as the devices would have established a trust relationship. Absent that there is no way to unlock the phone.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.
