Healthy,
You didn't come here asking for assistance, but so far offers for help are all that you have gotten. You may yet get responses from others who are equally frustrated, but the community here is mostly made up of those who are successfully using AC, and are relatively happy with it. Not to sound too Pollyannish, but our instinct is generally to pool our knowledge to try to solve problems. AC support is generally excellent, but as Bert pointed out, some issues are best addressed with the support of other users. Most of the problems you described have been seen and dealt with by others. If you want to work together on this, your next step is to share the information requested above.
