What is with the 'free' in 'free update'?
So everyone here has probably seen the news on facebook: "we are pleased to announce that Milestone will receive an upgrade free for Android 2.2 (FroYo) in Europe with an initial start of sliding at the end of this year."
Regardless of other issues (other regions, other phones, the bootloader (Yes, really, James King), which means "end of year" and so on)-how the word 'free' in there?
-Do you want to pay for an upgrade to Froyo?
-Do you want to pay for a future update, it was an option?
-No matter how long you have had the phone? (less / more than a year for example)
-How the locked bootloader affect you?
-Overall: do you think it would be legitimate to require the payment of an upgrade to a phone that is less than one year, if the OS is under GPL license, and where the only reason users would have no option to update themselves because the device is tivoized?
Or in other words: I'm the only one to consider the use of this word as a rather pathetic attempt to wring the upgrade as a great favor, rather than basic support, like many users he would see?
In other words, we are all slaves to a locked system. The word "free" is implicit in the prey on the consciousness of guilt of customers, that we should not deserve.
When I said a suggestion long ago, everyone should ask bike, it's ALL ABOUT the MONEY? OR A HARDWARE LIMITATION?
If it was money, then Yes, I think a LOT of PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN to PAY for an update in a timely, judging by our despair.
But now that the word "FREE" is used, I think it's the ultimate excuse for, "I must spend my year-end vacation, see ya in 2011 the Miller.

Is this really the case with the free player, the clients can access is no longer a PDF to add comments and mark out? We have always used a PDF file for the reviews of books/documents, but now we hear customers that there is no way to add comments and annotation. Please let me know if this is the case, or if there is a solution
'' If '' they use the free software Adobe Reader and "If" there is no security prevent this, he should be able to add comments.
It'll be hard to say what's wrong without more details such as what exact version of the reader they use, they open the pdf file in a browser or in the player itself and what exactly happens when they try to add comments.

How can I get the free update to CS6?
How can I get the free update to CS6 promised when I bought CS 5.5 student edition? I bought 5.5 right before 6 is out and part of the package was that the upgrade was free when 6 is out.
I don't know if a promotion that has been designated two years ago is still in force today, but you can check with Adobe Support by chat or phone and find out. If the upgrade is still valid then they should be able to direct to the acquisition.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

Try to upgrade OS 10.6.8 to El Capitan on iMac. But the FREE update tells me it can not install but will not say why even when I click on learn more. Suggestions? Help? Appreciate the assistance.
More details on the iMac you have and how much RAM is installed would certainly contribute to answering your question.

After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot? To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Do your system restore, then:
Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window
> then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it
> Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".
When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.
> or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it
See you soon.

Adobe Reader - how to add page with the free version numbers?
Hey guys,.
Imagine that I have a PDF file and I want to create a new one by selecting some pages out of it. I know that this is all just possible using PDFcreator but I want to add page numbers. As far as I know that's not possible with the free version of Adobe, unless I would add the page number on each page by using a text box. I want to do different PDF catalogs for page numbers are really necessary. You have an idea how to solve this problem? You know that's about the only thing I need to add which means that it is not worth buying the Pro version. Unfortunately, I only got the PDF and I can't work on it for example with MS word before I have to export it. Do you know if there is a way to add the page numbers with a free version? There might be additional free software that allows this?
Thanks for your support!
You might be able to use Acrobat Standard (if Windows). Adobe have no free solution for your problem.

Hello! I use a PC and have problems loading my homepage of Muse. First of all, I made one with the address "nordensstjarnor" and updated several times without any problems. And once, I couldn't download on 'nordensstjarnor' any longer. Don't know why, when he got the address "nordensstjrnor". That me ok at first, but now I really need to give the first address once again, "nordensstjarnor". But when I try, the alternative of the site of ' publish on ' old isn't here. And if I try to create a new one, but with the old URL, the box turns red. What can I do?
The reason why you cannot change nordensstjarnor.businesscatalyst.com is because a different Adobe ID is used for the publication of this site.
t * [email protected] is used for the publication of nordensstjarnor.businesscatalyst.com
t s. * [email protected] is used for the publication of nordensstjarnorindex.businesscatalyst.com
You must make sure that Adobe ID is used in account publish, so that you can see a list of the websites published under this account. Go in Edition > Preferences > publish on Business Catalyst > publish with accounts
You can pass the accounts for you can also make changes to the sites.
Thank you

What is with the monthly subscription? Can I buy is only the program as a one-time fee?
What is with the monthly subscription? Can I buy is only the program as a one-time fee?
Yes you can, but they have been very confused about this option (try to get people to opt for the subscription - please let them know what you think of this policy). The link is to http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html. The default value is subscription, but if you click on the 'I want to buy' drop down list there is complete and updated versions to available level. It's so confusing if you don't know it's available, you would probably never have it find. I have not found it until some other MVPS made outside and many of us complained.

Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.
For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.
Hope this helps.

Publish with the choice never 'check updates' when installing
Hello
I was flash deployment on our computers (win 7 clients) with the option 'never check the updates. I was choosing this option because we use user account control in our environment and updates have been asking to specify a name of user and password.
Well I learned yesterday update silent and deployed a mms.cfg file customized via Group Policy. I checked, and flash has not updated on computers in question. The question, I discovered, is that when I choose 'never check updates' service update flash and the task were not installed!
Does this mean that I have to reinstall flash on each computer where I installed flash with the option 'never check updates'?
Thank you.
I solved it.
Run FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe from a command line located at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\ (64-bit) or C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\ (32-bit) with the - Setup switch.
This installs the service update of flash player and the task of updating flash player.
Thanks Process Monitor!
