how to reopen closed case

[gnurotic]

I had a support case in March (0218087198) which was closed.  I spent a whole afternoon on the phone with a support tech trying to figure out why the Creative Cloud app, and more specifically how it functioned for updating CS6 apps, was hanging on my Mac.  The tech took remote control of my system and eventually got it working, but it took hours and I have no idea what he did.

Now, when I tried to update Lightroom it happened again.  I've been seeking help in that forum, but not of the suggestions have helped.

In my CC app I am signed in under an old Adobe ID I don't use any more, but the link to sign out is disabled. When I go to Manage Account (how I got here), I am asked for the password to the Adobe ID I currently use, not the one it says I am signed in under in the CC app.  Maybe this is causing some kind of conflict -- I don't know, but there is no apparent way to get out of this.

At this point I think the best option would be to reopen the case from March, as it may be that the same problem is repeating itself.  How can I get this case reopened, or at least be able to review the case notes to see what the tech did in March to fix this?

With all due respect, Mr. Smith, do you really think I have not been to to that page before, searched for anything which might be relevant to my problem, and come up with nothing of help at all?  Furthermore, when you go through the "help" items and come up with nothing helpful there is a "Still need help, Contact Us" option, which does NOT give any means to contact anyone at Adobe and which, in fact, just takes one back to where one started -- the "Need Help - Start Here to get help" page.

I am on this forum out of desperation, because there is nothing in Adobe's online help resources which is of any help with the problem I am (and have also this past March) experiencing/experienced.  If a user is having a problem which is not addressed by any of the canned responses Adobe provides online there simply is no way to get any help from them.  I only got help last March because an Adobe support person saw my post about that problem, took pity on me, and contacted me by telephone.

I called that number. After considerable time someone named Bashar picked up. I explained my problem and gave my old case number.  After some more time he informed me that help with this problem could only be handled through an online chat session at Adobe Forums.  He walked me through signing on to the appropriate section and ended the call.

Once in the Chat interface I outlined the problem and waited for someone to come on.  At 1:16 pm a representative named Paulson came on. I waited some more time while he "checked out the problem" and then he came back on and informed me that he was transferring the chat to the "relevant team" (1:21 pm).

It is now 2:01 pm and I am still waiting for a representative to come back on. At some point I will not be able to continue waiting -- I will need to go to the toilet, eat lunch, get on with the rest of my life and other things.
