Why is the basic plan more than the premium

Why does the basic plan cost 14.99 a month and the premium is only $11.99?

Re: Adobe Marketing.
What you say is obviously right. "Locking in" is often associated with discounts.
However, using Orwellian language ("basic" = much less service for dramatically more money - compared with "plus") is just not a good idea.
I get that Adobe wants to go from sales to rental, from products to services. You acheived your virtual monopoly position by making and integrating great software. Your biggest competition is usually your own earlier releases. I get it. You need cash flow.
But please, do not follow in the footseps of the other rentier companies like the telecommunications giants and big banks. They are soon hated for their opaque and disingenuous marketing and pricing games, regardless of the quality of their services.
The temptation must be great, but please don't do it! I have always loved Adobe, but recently, since your move to a rental model I'm getting nervous.

  • Why is Verizon charging $50 more than Apple?

    Somebody care to explain to me exactly why Verizon is charging $50 more than Apple themselves for each model of the Verizon iPhone? 
    Seriously, I'd love to hear the reasoning. 
    I'm upgrade ineligible but use Macs for my business so I've accepted that I can't get an early upgrade, even though VZW has selectively chosen who they'll give discounts or rebates to. We've been with Verizon for 10+ years and are loyal customers. Regardless, I've accepted it and have planned on paying full retail since day one. 
    So rather than whining and saying that it's a slap in the face that they won't give me an early upgrade- I won't. WHAT I will say though is that charging $50 more per phone when they know full and well that the vast majority of buyers at full retail WILL be upgrade ineligible, loyal customers, now THAT is a slap in the face.
    Think $50 isn't much when you're already spending X amount on the retail price of the phone? Consider that when pricing the 16GB at $649 through Verizon and THEN adding sales tax, you're not far off at all from the 32GB version via Apple.
    I don't mind spending a few extra $'s if I'm going to get something from it. I don't like spending another $50 because the corporate suits say "Let's charge a little more because upgrade ineligible customers WILL pay whatever we want and LIKE IT".
    If you want the Verion iPhone bad enough, vote with your wallets, give your money DIRECTLY to Apple and save your $50. 
    Or maybe someone here, or better yet, a Verizon rep can enlighten me on why I should just hand over that extra $50.  

    If you are already a VZW customer,  go to this link, underneath the device description, click on "Check your iPhone 4 eligibility" and type in your info. If you're not eligible for an early upgrade it will show the the full retail price if you buy now and, it will also show you the price and date when you are eligible for the reduced price.
    If you are eligible for an ugrade, I'm not sure if it still shows the full retail price.

    And yes, we all full understand the ins and outs of the business world. However, Apple is pretty strict about how much you can charge for their products. That aside, if in fact the pre-order can only be done on Verizon's site on Feb 3rd, and they are not giving loyal customers any type of discount, sure would be nice if they could keep the retail price the same for us. Especially when they know that the majority of those purchasing at full retail will be existing customers. Besides, we're talking about a "reputable business" with Verizon, not Ebay or Craigslist.
    In case you're wondering why I think the majority of people paying full retail will be existing, non-upgrade eligible customers? It's simple, a new customer could get the discount price, and cancel a couple months in, eat the ETF and it would still be cheaper than the full retail cost. 

  • Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Deggie is correct. The carriers originally wanted it so people wouldnt be downloading large files on their networks and causing congestion. Also look at is from a carrier perspective for protecting costumers. People could also complain if they went over their data plan that they should have received a warning about downloading large files. Rather than argue about updating/downloading apps, they have the warning now.
    I am hoping down the road that carriers converse with Apple to lift those, we will see what happens. Rodgers has more influence on lifting that limit that normal costumers would.

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that?

    # Question
    Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?
    Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed.
    It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.
    Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese.
    Please explain in everyday English.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Prabhuti,
    Thank you so much for all your suggestions & helpful links to get help. I am not very computer literate. I have taken many classes over the years I've had a computer but I am still only a beginner.
    I want to tell you that I found a solution to my problem. I finally realized that maybe FF was not the problem but Wind. 7 on my new comp. I went on the 7 Forums & found another person who had the same problem & the answer was simple all I had to do was to right click on the Notepad icon & it would bring up a new Notepad & I could open & minimize as many as I want. I had moved the Notepad icon to my taskbar from the Start menu when I got my new computer.
    I have one more question for you. The notepad 2 program was mentioned there along with several others. I think it was about that prog. that someone said that it could open many notepads & when you closed the comp. the notepads would not disappear. Do you know if it was that program? Also is it possible to use that program the same way as I used the original Notepad? There are so many technical options on that program that I didn't understand. All I want to do is open the Notepad & copy & paste my notes in it & minimize them. Not losing them if I shut down the comp. would be real benefit to me. I believe that is the same prog. you recommended to me. Since you seem to understand tech things I thought maybe you could tell me if that is possible?
    Thank you so much for all your help.

  • Why I can't see more than 10 emails at a time

    does anyone know why I can't see more than 10 emails at a time?

    No idea. It may be a limitation of your email provider. If you go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendar and scroll down to mail there is a setting for the number of messages to show, but the smallest number is 50.
    But then again, I'm not sure what you mean by seeing more than 10 at a time. The screen only holds 9 if preview is off, and less if preview is on; you would need a bigger screen to see more.

  • Why am I being charged more than $3.00 per month?

    Why am I being charged more than $3.00 per month?

    The taxes would make sense, except that the song cost .69 cents and I was charged .77 cents. Even if the additional charge was due to taxes, it should have only cost .74, maybe even .75 if it was rounded up.  So I am still being charged 2-3 cents more and this isn't the first time this has happened.  I was charged $1.03 more for an album than it cost originally.  At first I thought itas because I had bought a couple of songs from it and then decided to buy the album, but I clicked on the "complete my album" button, not the "purchase album" button.  The cost for the album was $12.99 and the cost for completing my album was supposed to be $10.99.  I know that 3 cents isn't much of a difference, but when you consider how many songs I've bought from iTunes, it makes quite a difference.  Thanks for replying and I did think about this as a possibility, but the math is not adding up.

  • Why does photoshop cc cost more than creative cloud photography plan?

    I see that Photoshop cc costs $10 per month more than the photography plan, even though the plan includes photoshop cc.  Are the applications different in the two plans?

    Hi Howard,
    The main difference in price between them is because Photoshop CC plan comes with 20GB of online storage space and inclusion Behance ProSite.
    For other difference between Photoshop CC and Photography plan you can follow the article: Photoshop Help | Differences between Photoshop and Creative Cloud Photography Programs where the difference is clearly mentioned.
    Let us know for any more confusion around this.

  • Why can't I paste more than one page at a time?

    I have a problem with Pages when I try to paste more than one page worth of content at one time.
    In my business I have a form online for clients to fill out. When the clients have finished the form, I copy the form (saved either as a safari document or as a pdf) and then try to paste what I have into Pages. It should flow to fill out four pages, but for some odd reason it only fill the first page of a Pages document, then it gives me a second blank (empty) page. So the document is two pages long, but only the first page has content.
    I know the pasted information is hidden in the document, because if I were to cut (erase) a few lines of content, the pasted information would appear from the bottom of the page to fill the space I just made.
    Why is Pages not making a four page document containing all my pasted information? Why isn't it flowing to fill out as many pages as it takes to show all the information?

    You may perfectly "their typed information and move it around" in Numbers which behave as the AppleWorks Draw environment.

    And of course, with the Numbers document open, you may copy pieces of it and paste them in Pages's pages.
