Worst Interface update ever
First time I've ever felt that I needed to complain on the interface update in 10 years of using skype. I haven't found anyone on my contact list that likes this change. I wouldn't have mind so much as I simply reverted back to an olderversion and turned off the auto update but I discovered the older versions are being retired so I'm displeased. Please allow the old version to stay on or allow us to change the interface of the new version because its not up to scratch.
Uninstall the currently installed version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 version:

IMovie 10.0.7 is the worst app 'update' ever
After producing about 100 movies on the previous version of iMovie, which was intuitive and not at all difficult to figure out, in comes iMovie 10.0.7 and it's a programmer's dream: it's elegant, with a sexy skin AND IT IS UTTERLY USELESS.
Any upgrade should NOT require a 100% re-learn. I don't have HOURS to re-learn a program that was perfectly useful and not in need of an "upgrade" other than to provide employment for programmers.
I cannot figure out how to use it—and I've edited video, and 35MM film on everything from a Moviola to a KEM flatbed. It rates an "F" for FAILURE.
I was at an event and needed to edit and publish a movie. I was UNABLE to do anything with it on 10.0.7. Fortunately I'd kept the earlier version and easily edited and posted the movie. 10.0.7 is JUNK.I agree entirely. That update was apparently for those who have lots of devices and want a quick and easy share of photos/movies and who don't mind using iCloud. However we who don't need iCloud and enjoyed using a single computer for archiving/accessing our personal photos and making family movies are now frustrated without resolve. I can no longer even access photos for Word documents (to make cards, letters). "Photos" does not show up in the media browser/panes. Just "Photo Booth", and who needs that useless application? I still used iMovie 9 until recently, when I updated and suddenly iPhotos became Photos and I can no longer access photos for a variety of projects. The new iMovie 10.07 won't let you burn a DVD plus it's difficult to use. I hate what Mac has done to what formerly was a fun and useful product. Trying to get answers to my questions from support has been impossible. Not going to pay them to tell me I need to buy a different kind of software, which I probably will have to do.

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Worst update ever - my computer loads slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and totally unusable.
TThis has to be the worst update ever. My Mac (if it loads...50% success), boots slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and completely unusable.
Don't shout. Yes, we will be seeing an update soon. Version X.1 is always released just a few weeks after the initial release. Apple tries to repair the most disruptive bugs in that first update, and does more finetuning in the second, which usually is released about two or three months after the initial release. That's the usual routine.
On some Mac's people seem to have performance issues like yours. I understand your not happy, but I suggest you'll be patient some more and update when 10.1 or 10.2 comes out. When it does run smooth on your machine, you'll find out it's the best upgrade (it's an upgrade, not an update) since many years.
Do as Canyonlight wrote in the fourth entry of this topic. Just use you backup and go back to Mavericks and wait it out. Nothing wrong with that. Upgrading is not a necessity but a choice. -
I have upgrade ios 6 to ios7 on my iphone 5. I do NOT like it at all. I want to come back to the previous version. why is it so complicated? Why can I not find the instruction strait from apple? This is the worst possible upgrade ever. It make me think of when ericsson got sold to Sony....drastic PC change.
I would like to have simple instruction on how to downgrade.
It feel like a change that I did not ask for , ok I push the upgrade buttom, but really this is the worst update aver!

SQL Server 2008 is the worst installation experience ever
Sorry but you guys have really messed up with SQL Server 2008 installation.
I've been using SQL server since 6.5, so I would classify as a fan. We were looking at upgrading from 2005, which I was quite pleased with.
The installation experience is the worst I've ever experienced. I am a computer expert, and I couldn't figure out how to install it properly. Why is it that when I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008, it seems as though it wants
to install the full database? Why is it when I was asked if I wanted to install a new version of SQL Server 2008 or use a previous install, when I chose previous install, it said that an instance ID was missing, but there was no way to specify anything
else? It drove me crazy.
Why are there so many requirements and restrictions for the installation, when all I want to do is install Management Studio? It's intolerable and makes me never want to upgrade to 2008. Why is the process so terrible when Microsoft is supposed
to have the best UE people in the business?
You guys did a really terrible job on this one.We have not tried to cluster 2012. We used to cluster; however, we were not prepared to manage the added complications. The result was that our non-clustered servers had better uptime. We used to joke about how many 8s we were
getting with our cluster. (To be fair, it did not help that we had a 7x24 SLA with only 8-5 staff. When the cluster fails to failover, it can be a long time before it is fixed. We eventually got the kinks worked out.)
I understand the frustration. Excellence and stability can be achieved, but product lifecycles can punish those who seek such qualities. Product changes and shorter support lifecycles produce revenue for MS, so I don't see this getting better.
There will be a new OS, new SQL, and a new set of problems the next time around.
I expect things to get worse until we get pushed into the cloud. A stable environment in the cloud is profitable for MS and clients. I do not think this is the case now outside the cloud. Upgrading applications to remain
on supported products is very costly. And about the only business benefit of the upgrade is that the product remains on a supported platform and gets security updates. Sort of sound like that blackmail virus? I'd rather pay to have a
patch for new features and focus on application upgrades that improve business processes. Now bug fixes can require a major version change - which will have new bugs. I'm ranting because of some head pounding
I've done this week due to a hard coded limitation introduced in SQL 2012 by design. I'll replace the process, but I wonder how long it will work as my SQL related PSH often breaks with a new version of something. I'll
stop now. Where'd my Prozac go? Next week is new week, life is good, everything will work,....
PS I actually enjoy the work and think MS products are decent; however, our environment does seem to be more frail and less stable due to MS product changes - even if the products are getting better. Better is worse - what an odd thought.

Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?
Yes! Ask me why...
I'm posting here a) to warn other Mac users what to expect if you ever need customer support and b) because there's no where you can actually e-mail comments to Apple, and trying to contact customer support has been fruitless (see below).
Here's what happened to me...
I bought my iBook just under three years ago - a few weeks ago, the logic board went. Now, because I purchased the computer less than three years ago, that's covered under the extended warranty for iBook logic boards (see here: http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/).
Simple, right? Well, I took my computer in to my local authorized service provider about three weeks ago. They confirmed the logic board was the problem... copied my receipt for the iBook to prove date of purchase... agreed that it was covered by the warranty.
However, when they sent all this to Apple, their reply was that it was NOT covered because it was manufactured more than three years ago (although Apple's own website says it's purchase date - not manufacture date - that's important).
I called Apple last Monday to find out what was going on. Spoke to a nice fellow named Kevin who said he'd look into it, and call me back the next day.
Next day passed... no call. I called Kevin back left a message, and indicated I'd like to know what was going on.
Wednesday passed... no call. By this point, I'm getting anxious - the service provider can't move ahead without authoriztion from Apple, Apple's not returning my calls (or the service provider's) to grant authorization.
I tried Kevin again on Thursday. Left another message. No reply.
Tried back on Friday morning. Left another message. Still no reply.
Called customer support again Friday night. Antoine puts me hold for a half hour. I call back, explain that I've been on hold for half an hour, ask how long the wait should be. Antoine says two or three minutes. He puts me on hold again.
For another ten minutes.
I call back. Antoine explains that the reason I'm on hold is probably because customer service is closed. So why was I on hold for nearly an hour listening to terrible music? That's one of the mysteries of Apple customer support...
So here I am, with a computer that's been in the shop nearly three weeks, that can't be repaired because Apple won't honour its warranty, and no way to even find out what's going on, because Apple's customer service is such an unnavigable maze.
The sad thing is, I usually like Apples. I was even going to buy a new one this summer.
Now - not a chance.
The moral of the story? If you own an Apple, pray nothing ever goes wrong with it. If you expect your computer to ever need repairs, I'd suggest getting rid of your Apple now.
If you're considering buying an Apple - consider again.
As for me - from now on, make mine Microsoft.
iBook G3 700 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?
I doubt it.
Seriously, would you like some help?
Call back, and don't mess around with Customer Service. Immediately ask for Customer Relations. These are the people whose job it is to make an unhappy customer happy again. They aim to please.
A polite, but seriously disappointed tone of voice is what you need, so take some deep breaths until you can achieve that.
There was an article in the February, 2005, issue of Reader's Digest called "How to Complain." Please read these tips. Then call and tell Customer Relations your sad experience with Customer Service.
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president of an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it.
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck!
(P.S. Microsoft doesn't make computers; just the crappy OS that goes on them.) -
i can not re install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional on my computer. It is saying a qualifying product is not detected. I cant even get through using the customer service line they provide 800-272-3623. This is the worst interactionI have ever had with a company.
Hi joej49728017,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
Please refer to the following KB doc. Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The above link will help you to install a special version that does not require activation.
In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

In my office, all of us who use the 8830 Blackberry, get complaints from the people we speak with on the phone that our phones are the "worst sounding phone ever".
We have tried talking softer or louder, re-positioning the phones when we talk....we've tried it all. Changing the sensitiviy in the voice dialing settings does not help... (now I know why I see posts here re: problems with the voice dialing -- its gotta be the mic! )
Nothing apart from using a hands-free device seems to help.
It is as though the phone's microphone is too sensitive and everything is distorting. My calendar is a horrible phone.
This is very annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there a fix for it?
DVHi and welcome to the forums!
Quick test:
Go to voicenotes and record a mini conversation.
Play it back and see how you sound, and the background noise.
If it sounds normal, it may not be the mic.
Go to work and have everyone check the DB levels in Options Status .
The lower the number the better the quality -30 is good -70 bad.
You could be having reception problems with a very clear signal.
Thanks,
If you need further information please ask!
If not please resolve the post. Thanks

Just had the worst online chat ever, the person that was suppose to be helping me was making matters worse. All I wanted to know was what is the colour of the charging plate I was being sent. After going in circles he was telling me the colour of the phone which he couldn't get right either. I ordered white and he kept telling me it's gold and if that's not what I want I need to wait for my order, send it back and reorder! You have got to be kidding me O2!
