So frustrated with Adobe.

Let me start by saying that I am so very sick and tired of Adobe. Amount of excess capital and the resources available to them, it is incomprehensible that Photoshop is such a bug ridden, unstable, essentially unusable pieces of software. I have a beautiful new workstation I have invested more than $7,500. I7-5960 X, 64 GB RAM, SSD, etc..

Photoshop became unusable for me. I've tried everything. It is literally that I'm on a 686. I've just upgraded to the latest version of 2015 and it completely took a dump. The user interface has changed, and a ton of new features, including libraries of cloud are being pushed down my throat. I added a single color on the palette and waited 15 minutes for the app attempt to synchronize and then it just comes crashing and the last 15 minutes of work is gone, with no way to recover what was lost. I'm so sick of Adobe and their crappy products. I am embarrassed that I have to use such a poorly designed product.

All I want to do is finish my project that I have invested in more than 500 hours and my business depends on to survive.


Adobe, I've been a loyal customer over 12 years and I mean when I say, your product has become a useless piece of shit.

This forum sees patients ranging from what I call hard the ignorant, to complete professionals with several years of experience.  Posters with the badges of staff with Indian names are what are called Photoshop support team, and their only job (AFAIK) is to help people on this forum.  They have access to customer accounts so can also help in problems of subscription type.  I must admit that I tend to let posters tirelessly clueless for the guys from the support team as they are paid for it, and it's frustrating to say the same thing, a dozen different ways complete with diagrams, and they still not get it!

Any poster, you see with and orange badge (MVP ACP) gets their free Adobe software, which is Adobes way we encourage to stay here and to share our years of experience and knowledge.  These forums are a valid response from Adobe for their customers who have problems, and we are going to be much better at that customer because most of us earn our living with our Adobe software, and as the hours per day, we spend on these forums, we have seen generally each number a dozen times before.

What a pity DanC came not here from that (s) he had installation issues, because it seemed immediately to restart the computer and run the Application Manager as an administrator.  Installation FAQ has exactly the same information, and in fact, pretty much any information you need is a quick Google away.  It surprises me again well how it works.  Each of these search parameters is exactly the information you need

Photoshop Troubleshooting FAQ

GPU Photoshop FAQ

Launch of Photoshop problems

Installation guide for Photoshop

Locations of files Photoshop (version)

Performance of Photoshop FAQ

etc etc.

If you are looking for information on how to do things, add the word "Help" right after Photoshop there is usually much better than third party otherwise tutorials, you will find a guide.  Or search Adobe TV.  That is not my favorite Adobe installation as they rather missed it upward awhile back of ging, she a front end fantasy at the expense of ease of use.

Finally, do not forget that Adobe 12 499 employees (Wikipedia) only about 70 are working on Photoshop development team, and they don't make decisions that can irritate customers, so there is no point in grumbling in this forum.

OK, if you have a real problem...

  • Frustrations with Adobe Stock 'Customer Service '.

    This position was created in desperation as really seems them to be no other outlet for support when dealing with Adobe Stock. I am located in Melbourne, Australia, and the only way to contact the Helpdesk of Adobe Stock is done by the service "Instant Messaging".  However, to this day, I spent more than 6 hours repeat myself and my questions to the customer that a) don't understand not what I speak not b) only provide scripted responses to my questions and c) bounce around me, to other agents of customer service that ends up telling me that my problem was refitted There is nothing else they can help me with and I'll be in touch by email within 2-3 business days. Then, when I received an email a week later it has nothing to do with my question and the process begins again.

    Help, please. I've been a customer of Adobe software products for more than 10 years and I'm not like if it comes to the level of support that I receive from your company.

    Here is a brief history of my problem. If anyone could be of additional help for me it would be greatly appreciated.

    -J' have subscribed to the Club Photo Dollar prior to its acquisition by Adobe and really the service provided.

    -When my subscription with DPC finished I took 'your first month for free' offer with Adobe Stock because it seemed to be the next offers the best for stock photography.

    -In my first month of using this service, I used 10 images available in my subscription and was looking to buy more. Previously using the DPC service you offer you an amount of credits you must add to your subscription (once you monthly allowance was exhausted) and purchase which was fantastic. I use a lot of stock photography, so it is a common place for me. However, after using all the images that is available to me through my subscription to Adobe stock I couldn't add the extra credit in my account and buy only the images one by one. Which would be perfect, but since I am in Australia, I would be charged fees for international transaction for each image purchased on my allowance which for me is crazy and my interaction with the Adobe Stock customer service began...

    -After taking a lot of time to explain my situation to the service representative and still not get anywhere as it seemed like adding extra credit was not a feature that Adobe Stock has the offer, I learned if I had already subscribed to CPD, I was entitled to a reduced monthly subscription. As I had signed Adobe stock with another email address of my CPD membership this offer has been applied to my account.

    -J' expressly asked, if I was able to transfer my account using the same login as my former DPC subscription to take advantage of this offer and we told him 'NO,' I have to create a new account based on the same login as the old DPC members and cancel my existing subscription. I also specifically asked that I stay a client Adobe stock I undertake any kind of cancellation fees? I was told 'NO '.

    -So, I did as suggested, created a new Adobe Stock subscription based on the same as my old and weak DPC membership login and behold, I could enjoy a lower monthly subscription. fantastic news.

    - Then I cancelled the original Adobe Stock composition, I created without problem until I noticed that I had been charged of membership $180 cancellation fee!

    -I just spent an hour on the time trying to talk to someone because, they told me I should not this tax and that, due to the fact, I continue my subscription with Adobe Stock just under a different user name I should not be held responsible for the cancellation, but had absolutely no chance. No one understands what I'm trying to say, it takes up to 10 minutes in some cases has received a response through the 'cat' portal and then finally my question is 'up' and I you will receive an email within 2-3 business days. This has happened twice and after a week I received correspondence from Adobe Stock but email only said: ' Chris, we would like to inform you that you will be able to buy at THE $ 59.99 / month "has absolutely nothing to do with my question.

    First of all, I don't think I should have to pay the cancellation fee that I am in fact pursuing a membership with Adobe Stock and was informed that I woudnt be charged. If for any reason any that should be charged, I would prefer that my subscription was restored and I saw the contract of the year and have actually 2 accounts rather than having to pay $180 for nothing!

    If someone, anyone... could you please help me with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Being able to talk to someone who has made a greater understanding of the services associated with this feature of Adobe products would be amazing. I realize that it may not be the fault of representatives for customer service but outsourcing Adobe Stock that their call centre in India is really not useful that just does not seem to have any understanding of ther product other than scripted information they have before them. I'd be happy to wait as long as it took just to talk to someone who had a real understanding of my issue and eventually get some sort of resolution.

    Help, please. It comes from really should be a very simple thing to fix.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I'm sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience with our support team and focus on the problems you mention.

    I will also refund cancellation fees.

  • InDesign cs6 still not compatible with the iMac 5K, his frustration that adobe is not fixing this issue! Perhaps a strategy to move to Adobe CC? I have urgent need to know how can I run the application correctly.

    InDesign cs6 still not compatible with the iMac 5K, his frustration that adobe is not fixing this issue! Perhaps a strategy to move to Adobe CC? I have urgent need to know how can I run the application correctly.

    It will never be updated for InDesign CS6. This has been discussed to death. Adobe updated the CS6 applications that she could update. Illustrator and Photoshop come to mind, so your conspiracy theory is incorrect.

    InDesign should be re-written from scratch due to the difference in the way it was designed.

    Your choice is to live with it or move to creative cloud.

  • I have problems with creative cloud.  5 times now, I was in the chat with Adobe and they say the problem is solved and so far it has either not been corrected or there 1 night and then I get this message again

    So to continue with my problem.  I could not open CC, or if I sound only for 1 day, then I get this problem again...

    Adobe Creative Cloud is necessary to solve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged.  Please download and install a new copy of the creative from cloud

    ' http://www.Adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp '.

    I was in the chat with Adobe 5 times now for hours in a row and had to re download my times apps and use my data allowance and I'm sick of it! After every time Adobe says: the problem is corrected and I will have no more problems, and that's not true.  The last time I was in the chat was last night and it reassures me, the problem has been solved once more and it worked today and tonight it's the same thing.  I am a student online and am so far behind that I have not been able to use my apps, Illustrator and Indesign as CC keeps having this problem.  I am very frustrated and I don't know what to do. If I go again being discussed, I know they will do the same thing and I am not convinced that they will never fix this problem.  They assure me this is not my computor but it is a corrupt file or something on it.  I pay a monthly subscription for the products that I can't even use

  • Very frustrated with creative cloud. Suddenly unable to launch any apps. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I am so extremely frustrated with my creative cloud software and I'm reaching the end of my tether and do not know what to do. When I got creative cloud of last year was a boon absolute and so easy to use. However, a few months ago, it has suddenly stopped working for me and I don't know why.

    Whenever I try to launch an application (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign), licensing prompt appears asking me to connect with my Adobe ID when I do that, as requested, it is said that creative cloud is now authorized for me and click on continue to enjoy the app. However, when I then continue, the application closes itself and guest licensing appears once again, asking me to reconnect. This continues to make the round and round in circles as he stuck on some kind of loop broken.

    I tried to contact support online chat, to be honest was pretty useless. I was in line for an hour and a half, talking to a guy who didn't know how to help me and actually gave me instructions which also damaged my applications and so I had to reinstall everything again. I also tried tool clean cloud creative to reinstall the entire package.

    My computer is an Apple iMac G5 (2006 model) and currently runs on OSX Snow Leopard. I understand that CC products are not compatible and so I always use the CS6 products that are available. I am unable to offer an update on my computer at the moment in order to run the Mavericks and CC products unfortunately. I'm afraid that it could have something to do with it, even if I am just trying to access the CS6 software.

    I currently pay £30 a month for a service I don't get and it really gets me down, freelance graphic designer and Illustrator as a source of extra income next to my minimum wage job, is to have extreme negative effect on my workload and of the ability to win. I'm really at a loss to know what to do :-(

    Everyone knows this and is at - it one any solution?

    Someone who can help me is amazing.

    Thank you xxx

    Delete the file OPM.db and reconnection in the desktop application of creative cloud using the Adobe ID associated with your subscription.

  • How to open the files .dll automatically with Adobe Reader via Firefox?

    Hello

    When I print labels eBay via Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to automatically open in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change the options to display "all files", then find the .dll file and open it.

    When I try to change the default application in the preferences of Firefox, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".

    Is there a way to have Firefox automatically opens files .dll with Adobe Reader?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • You Tube is not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update

    You Tube and other sites do not play video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update for both. Adobe Flash works on other sites but not You tube and sites that can have embedded videos from You Tube, I'm not sure.

    Adobe Flash not crushed and no error message is visible. All that shows is a black screen for Flash video. Make a right click of the screen shows only a non-interactive 'a film has not loaded' and the clickable link to the home page of Adobe.

    I spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this, but none helped.

    I sent sad face, letting you know what I think of the last update for this reason which explains pretty much the same thing, as I have said here.

    I have no other info but if I had a form any entry and queries you I might be able to provide more.

        I think the Flash 12.xx is a phantom. I can't find it on my comp. Only 13.xx shows anywhere but on the Pugins page in Firefox.

    Weird. I have no idea why it does that. Your list of details of the system shows that 13.0.r0 Flash.

       About the .Js I cannot find a User.JS in the profile folder but ther is a user.bk and other files that have.json. Should I do anything with these?

  • Open the PDF with Adobe Reader - wonder what must do Firefox - every time

    Hello

    Whenever I want to open a PDF file, Firefox asks me "that should Firefox do with this file.
    I opened with Adobe Reader (default) selected and I have the box 'do this automatically... ". "checked.

    So, it seems to me that Firefox should not ask me every time.

    Hi - I do not always want to ask; I want that he will never ask.

    That said, I changed my setting of the option "always ask" and the next time I tried to open a PDF document, the open dialog box to ask me what to do. The box 'do this automatically... ". ' has been disabled, as expected.

    I checked the box 'do this automatically... ". "and now Firefox is most requested.

    Weird way to solve the problem, but it seems to work fine now.

    The plug-in may not work well in Firefox because you are using an older version of Adobe Reader.

    What version of Windows you are migrating towards?

    Check the compatibility of each program by accessing the Web site of the Publisher. In addition, many companies, such as Adobe, have their own forums which will give experiences of other users to use a particular version of a program on a particular version of Windows.

    If you upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can use the compatibility of Microsoft here for a guide Center:
