Lets have another crack at the crackheads at Adobe.

I installed InDesign CC 2015 2 months ago, on my system it is version 11.3.0.34. What is strange is that Creative Cloud is telling me that InDesign CC 2015 is a required update. What am I to think Adobe, is it me or my newish MacPro that is mad. I know it can't be Adobe because the last thing they want to do is confuse me with updating the same thing 3 times.

Let's go to my favourite program, Illustrator. I persevered with the download bollocks 2 months ago and am running Illustrator CC 2015.3  (system says it is Version 20.0.0). Guess what, clever little Creative Cloud is telling me I need to upgrade to Illustrator CC 2015.3.

Now, I don't know what you people out there think of this little story, me, it just shows you what rot is permeating Adobe, perhaps Warnock and Geschke should fall on their swords and spare us any more misery - hi geeks, you listening????

Anyone know of any VERY good class action lawyers There are those that think increasing this string is going to kickstart Adobe into action, nah, not a hope. I've been using illustrator since V1 on a MacPlus, how's that for loyalty, now I cannot stomach the reprobates.

They are the pirates, taking our money on a monthly basis and giving NOTHING in return. Stop paying and our software is gone.

Good one Adobe, hope you are actually bothering to look at this string, you might learn something about business ethics!!!!!!!!

Luffw what Adobe software or service are you attempting to install?  Do you receive a specific error message?

We need to be able to install whatever application we want, offline! That's the issue!
We don't want the cloud, it's rubbish.

Ok thank you again for the feedback Luffw. 

If you are in a low bandwidth situation please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care​ to request a DVD of the current updates.


I don't find anything above to be helpful. It is easy to see why Adobe ignores our plight, their staff are numb nuts that don't understand the problems - request a DVD???? Geez, our new Macs don't have a superdrive..

Why do I want individual installers - hey, so I can let it run overnight on my Slooooooowwwww internet connection and  then umm date my desktop MacPro and my super portable iMac which I take away on my business travels.

Now, if I had to use the crappy Cloud installer then the downloads would take x2 and inevitably crash.

Following is how I really feel about the Adobe Clown organisation

Adobe is not getting it's act together, they are a lazy, overbearing and ignorant organisation who have put their misguided ideals before their loyal customers wishes and requirements. I feel this way because they continue to ignore the pain a lot of their customers are feeling.

Is it right that paying customers cannot receive what they pay for. Is this fraud??? Can I sue the Adobe behemoth, maybe not. Can a huge group of us sue adobe, damn right we can.

It wasn't that long ago that I convinced many people to use Adobe Products, great user experience, almost as fanatical those of us that love the MacOS. So now, Adobe has chosen to annoy us to the very core, hey, they even have chosen to make Acrobat DC an oddity with their NEW and stupid save as screen - huh, is Apples finder not good enough, bollocks to you Adobe for messing up my ability to quickly navigate to where I need to go -stupid, stupid, stupid
