Adobe Application Manager stuck at "About 2 seconds remaining"

I've successfully installed Macintosh CS6, the apps launch and run, and I checked for updates.
There were a bunch of updates for CS6 so I ran the udpater.
Everything seemed to go smoothly but the Adobe Application Manager says the following (see pic below):
Update Progress
Currently Updating Adobe Extension Manager CS6 Update...
About 2 seconds remaining (100% complete)
Can I quit or force quit the application manager? It's been stuck for about 20 minutes. I've launched several apps (post update) and they seem to be working.
Thanks for your help,
Nate

Same here when updating Photoshop CS6
Notice date-time stamp at the bottom of the screenshots
downloaded
DynamicLinkMediaServerRetail-7.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip (47,9MB)

@Carl Sun with me there is no such thing as ribs3debug
Anyway, will try to figure this out myself.

  • Adobe Application Manager Stuck in Menu Bar - Mac

    Hello,
    A few years ago, before I upgraded to my own Mac, I installed the CS5 trial on my husband's Mac, seeing if his computer could handle the Creative Suite. Well, it couldn't. It's an older Mac, so I purchased my own,and have since upgraded to Creative Cloud on my own Mac.
    The Adobe Application Manager is still stuck on my husband's Mac. I have uninstalled the entire CS5 suite, (I downloaded a trial version to his computer at least two years ago), run the Adobe Cleaner, and also used CleanMyMac. The updated with the number is still stuck in his menu bar.
    I tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager this morning, from the Adobe website, but I am receiving an error on the installation. HELP! This computer does not have any of the Adobe Creative Suite products anymore, so I can't open the Application Manager and disable it. I did try to open his Adobe Reader, and click on Check For Updates, but that just tells me that Adobe Reader is up-to-date.

    Let's see...
    Ok - In the Language tab everything's listed (and probably has been since 2008) with English at the top - so I'll delete everything except English and reboot.
    And... I'll be darned.  Now the AAM UI is in English.
    So I wonder why this has never cropped up in the 4+ years I've been running this rig?
    Oh well - this workaround will get me through the installs, but it seems like the AAM could use a little polish in this area
    Thanks!

  • I can't log-in to Premiere Pro & keep getting stuck in an Adobe Application Manager sign-in loop

    I am currently unable to load Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects.
    When I click to open them the Adobe Application Manager opens up, asks me to sign-in (which I do) and then it tries to open PP (the PP icon on my Mac bounces up and down) but then it disappears and loops me back to the Adobe Application Manager.
    I was speaking to an Adobe Support officer on Live Chat the other day and he dialled in to my mac but couldn't fix it. He said he would escalate the issue and told me to expect a call back within two days. Frustratingly no-one has called me back and the issue remains.
    I have uninstalled all the apps and the Creative Cloud and then re-installed them but that hasn't helped.
    I would be really grateful if anyone had any suggestions as I have an important piece of work that I have to get done by tomorrow.
    Many thanks

  • Adobe Application Manager CC not working after last update

    Last night I avrived home and sat down to work on my website and other side projects after a long day at work.  I opened my application manager and it notified me that it had an update.  So naturally I agreed and was excited to see the new upgrade.  Sadly after a couple hours of trying to figure things out on to why I wasn't able to access my Adobe Muse and Adobe Application manager after the update I had to give up.   I was online with tech support about the issue and was given a link to download the application manager yet again (this would have been my 3rd attempt to do so, and the link that was given to me was outdated).  After finding out that this was going to take longer than I had hoped asked if the teck support could help me resolve the Muse issue.  I was told that I'd be transfered to the Muse support and never was after an hour or so.
    I'm now still stuck not being able to use muse (after a couple re-installs) and not able to use my application manager. 
    Currently when I lunch my application manager my backgound decktop goes black and the application manager pops up and is white with no options to choose and shows nothing.  When I try to use Muse  it askes me to log in, and then gives me an error message asking me to please try again later....
    Can anyone help, has anyone had this issue before??

  • Cannot Install Creative cloud OR Adobe Application Manager on brand new install of Windows 7 64bit

    Here is where I've been today...
    I started out this process formatting my C drive (a 120gb SSD),
    then I reinstalled windows 7 64bit  from scratch
    then I ran ALL of the updates "Windows Update" suggessted
    then I installed google chrome
    then I logged into creative cloud and whent to the download center and I think I clicked on like Adobe Acrobat XI pro or I might have clicked on the actual "Creative Cloud" download
    then I opened the installer and it got to about here:
    And then it popped up with this "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the download process (Error code: A12E5). For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page.":
    Then I I tried what I thought was the next best second option.... I downloaded the Adobe Application Manager ("ApplicationManager7.0_all"). After the successful download of said installer
    Then I ran the installer and told it to unpack it's gear on my desktop. It sort of did, but before it was done it gave me this error: "a problem occurred while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and write privileges on destination folder":
    Then I tried to run the akward result of the "failed" extraction (see pic below):
    Which just so happened to have a healthy looking setup file in it:
    So naturally I ran the setup file and got this error "we've encountered the following issues installer failed to initialize. please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" which gave me two options "Get Support Advisor" or "quit":
    Guess what I did next... I clicked "Get Support advisor"
    Downloaded the windows version... install seemed to go alright and then after this I ran the software package and sure enough I found out that the system is doing great no errors were found!~ Sweet! "inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further Assistance." and as it sugessted Iwent over to http://www.adobe.com/support/ and poked around for quite a while and gave up
    A diffrent thread (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/a12e1-error-downloading-creative-cloud.html) seemed to suggest that it was the downloading of the installer that was causing the issue. So I tried downloading the installer from every possible source that I can find... Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer "IE" 11, I searched despratly for a way to turn off the "Download manager" and all of this has been to no avail!
    I tried a few other things which I cannot recall (I think one of them was downloading it through mozilla which had a little more promise.) and I think I also tried what was suggested in this thread: "http://forums.adobe.com/message/5386547"
    Here is a quote from that thread:

    Hi Shawn, Are you on MAC or Win ?
    Try this :
    Rename OOBE folder to OOBE_old located :

    Win 7 32 bit : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe

    Delete opm.db file located at :
    Win  7 :C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    MAC : ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Then try to install AAM again, it should install without any issues.
    This process was what I THINK what produced the "Adobe Application Manager" Icon on my desktop!
    which I then clicked hopefully!
    It then began to update "OH BOY!!!"
    Then I was greated with the still stark reality that I was wrong to have silly hopes... and it coldly told my boyish heart "We encountered the following issues: Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the download process (Error Code: A12E5). For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page."
    I've tried just about everything I know how to try... I need this software up an running or my job is on the line YIKES!
    Please help! God bless you for doing so!

  • What's up with Adobe Application Manager CS6?

    If I select within Pr (CS6): Help > Updates...
    here is the resulting update check (as expected):
    But...
    if I directly run Application Manager either from the Start Menu shortcut,
    or by running the executable file (PDapp.exe) in this location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\
    Here is the message I get:
    (Not logged in with my Adobe ID.)
    'Sup with that?
    notes:
    This is the first time I have tried to run AAM since this series of events
    on 7/6 (I was logged in with my Adobe ID at the time)
    The steps I took on 7/6:
    - Ran Adobe Application Manager from the Start Menu shortcut.
    - Normal AAM interface appeared (as pictured in first image above).
    - Once connected, the AAM interface immediately disappeared,
    and a small progress bar appeared stating:
    "Updating Adobe Application Manager".
    (No screen shot available)
    - At about 50-75% completion of the progress bar, an icon appeared
    on my desktop called: "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    - At about 95% completion of the progress bar, the update stalled.
    - I killed the stalled AAM update in the Task Manager, then rebooted.
    After reboot, these processes had been added to startup:
    - Creative Cloud.exe
    - Adobe CEF Helper.exe
    I killed these two unwanted processes in the Task Manager,
    then uninstalled "Creative Cloud.exe" using:
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
    After reboot, the two unwanted processes
    were no longer present in the Task Manager.
    Now that I am logged in with my Adobe ID, I am going to run
    AAM again from the Start Menu shortcut and see what happens.
    UPDATE EDIT:
    I am now logged in and I have just tried again
    to run AAM from the Start Menu shortcut.
    Error:

    And going over curvy roads with my wife driving? No way. As long as I am driving I am OK. With someone else, anyone else, not so much.
    On those, I usually get to drive. Last time that we came over from Temecula to Palm Desert, through Anza, I tightened up the suspension, put the anti-slip on full, and lit the fires in her AMG. Out of Anza, there were headlamps behind us, but they disappeared instantly. We had some slush on the road, but the big MB hung in there nicely. When we got down, it took almost 45 mins. for the next car to approach. We were already into our second course, and third glass of wine.
    It was kinda' like the last time that I did The Road to Hana, http://www.frommers.com/destinations/maui/0015020319.html. Some locals had written into the Maui paper, about "tourists" hanging up traffic. Well, I did that road in 53 mins., from the Hana cutoff (Paia near Mama's Fish House) to Hana, and not one local stayed in my rearview mirror, for more than a minute, after I passed each one, plus a few dozen "tourists." Now, on the way back, I did stop to see the streams, that we crossed at about 50 mph, just to see what we missed. I am sure that the locals then wrote in about the "crazed tourists," who drifted through each of the 189 curves, and over the 82 bridges. They should not have thrown down the gauntlet. If I had had the AMG, I think that I could have done that trip in less than 45 mins.. If I had had the XKE, I would think that about 35 mins. would be doable, depending on construction.
    To this day, my S-I-L will ONLY ride the High Country, if I am driving. Unlike my loving wife, she trusts me with every move.
    Now, if I had Mitchell's TT, who knows how quickly I could do The Road to Hana, and especially if the "locals" threw down the gauntlet? Of course, his sticky tires, and brake pads would need replacing, but hey, that is life "in the fast lane." I'd love to have that road closed, with a Porche 939 Turbo, and racing rubber.
    Hunt
    PS - sorry about the sickness. I had one bad bout, but think that it was due to bad fish. My father almost did not let me live that one down, but it was a "one-n-only" situation, and I was about 13. Yeah, bad fish for lunch.

  • Adobe Application Manager failed during update and fils to reinstall

    G'day All,
    I put this up in November last year in a Creative Suites discussion thread (sse blow the line), and though the original post has been viewed more than 280 times, I have received no responses. I simply cannot update my CS6 software. I have just reposted the information below there, and figured I should try here, also.
    Details : CS6 design and web premium, HP Pavilion quad-core i7,  now running Windows 8.1
    Essentially my application manager failed while it was upgrading itself as I was attempting to fix a problem with Acrobat/the Adobe PDF printer constantly failing after printing only one PDF. The updater/application manager then simply disappeared from my system altogether.
    At the time of the original problem I had downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe; if I attempt to run it I get a pop-up window 2/3rds of the way through the installation and the following message 'Installer failed to initialise. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem'.
    Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists.
    So I tried the latest version - ApplicationManager8.0_all.exe. This installed just fine, but seems to be entirely oriented around CC applications, so I haven't tried it on my CS6 programs. Should I just uninstall it? I rather wonder why it says 'This patch will install the Adobe Application Manager that is included with Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products' if, in fact, it's just for CC products.
    So, any suggestions on what to do now? I'd really like to be able to update my applications via a Manager that will actually function.
    regards,
    Bill
    G'day All,
    (CS6 design and web premium, Windows 8. HP Pavilion quad-core i7)
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.
    Having been driven nuts by the 'Acrobat manager is not activated' message which persisted in popping up if I made any attempts beyond one to create a PDF - that is, I could print one, and then no others without a reboot, nor having done so could I read any PDFs - I searched online and got a discouraging, tangled mess of suggestions, including the fairly obvious one of checking that all programs had been updated by the Application Manager.
    'Ah,' I thought, 'maybe if I ensure everything's up-to-date this thing where Acrobat failing to start because it thinks it's not 'activated' means I can neither read nor print PDFs will be miraculously fixed without my having to install magical patches or deregister and reregister the entire suite in order to appease a program I don't even use or want!'
    Poor naive fool that I am!
    So I tried to run the Application Manager.
    It momentarily flashed a message claiming (I believe - it was only there for a second) another instance of itself was running, then proceeded to run an update process for the application itself, then threw up an administration window seeking to allow the program to modify the system about 2/3rds of the way through, and then announced via a little window with one of those horrible little red 'fail' symbols that the application manager had failed to install.
    It sure had!
    That's it - I now have no Application Manager to attempt to manage updates through! No shortcut - that disappeared too! Nothing in the hideous Windows 8 start menu! No search will reveal it! It's simply gone. Yes, I've rebooted.
    All I can find online suggests installing a new instance of the Application Manager, which is, of course, the CC version, and I'm not a subscriber. OK, maybe that will work, but, quite frankly, with two strikes against Adobe already I'm going to ask if anyody actually knows whether this approach, or any other, is likely to solve the problem.
    regards,
    Bill

    Thanks for the reply, Jeff. Sure am! But that's not the main problem.
    However, it appears the main problem has been fixed - via the installation of AAM 8 - a mere 9 months later! CS6 updates - woohoo!
    This didn't fix the Adobe PDF printing thing - in fact, I just lost everything I'd previously typed in response to you testing this hadn't been fixed by AAM 8's updates (it hasn't!).
    However, during the 9 month fallow period I've discovered that if I keep process explorer open and kill the splwow64.exe/acrotray.exe process tree after every single PDF printing  I don't get bizarre messages telling me the Adobe PDF printer isn't 'activated' or have my system go into a tizzy and need rebooting. So it still doesn't really work, but I do have a work-around...
    regards,
    Bill

  • Missing Adobe Application Manager

    We have installed and reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Windows XP 64 bit Lenovo tower. When I attempt to open Photoshop I get an error that says it can't find the adobe application manager. I tried to look this error up and I found a site that referenced the 64 bit Adobe Photoshop CS5 was looking for the 32 bit version of Adobe Application Manager.  When I look in  my application folders, I can see the 64 bit Adobe Application Manager, but not the 32 bit version. The 64 bit Enterprise version of AAM runs, but Photoshop CS5 will still not start.  I tried force starting the AAM and according to task manager it runs for a few seconds then shuts down. Any ideas?

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for your responce. I checked the services window and the only mention of Adobe is regarding somethign called Adobe switchboard. At this point I'm willing to try just about anything to get this tower back into the workflow. We are dead in the water without Adobe Photoshop on it.  WSCL-Imaging

  • Creative Cloud / Adobe Application Manager

    Do Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager do the same thing/ duplicate each other?
    Creative Cloud says Photoshop CC is up to date & on checking the version, it's on 14.1.1
    CS6 (which i already had installed before joining CC) recently updated itself to CS6 'Extended' & currently shows as version 13.0.1
    Adobe Application Manager popped up today saying there's an update for Photoshop CS6 & Photoshop CC to 13.1.2   it states:
    "This Adobe® Photoshop® and Photoshop Extended 13.1.2 update installs new features for Adobe Creative Cloud members and Photoshop subscribers. It offers exciting new capabilities for design, photography and more, including the freedom to nondestructively edit with Blur Gallery and Liquify using new Smart Object support, the ability to export text and shapes as CSS, the option to create Conditional Actions, and support for new HiDPI displays that enable a dramatic improvement in image fidelity and resolution. Other new workflow timesavers are also included. Customers with Photoshop Extended will also receive new 3D options including improved live previews that simplify the creation of shadows and reflections in 3D artwork and a 32-bit color picker for better illumination control, and more."
    Am I too assume that Creative Cloud only updates Phtoshop CC & that Adobe Application manager updates CS6? 
    I guess too that if i click 'update' in Adobe Application Manager, it will update CS6 & leave CC as it is? (if I deselect the CC update, it deselects the CS6 update too).

    Hi Les,
    Creative CLoud Desktop App and Application Manager are the same thing . The pop up that you are getting is from Adobe Application Manager updater and the sole purpose of this application is to connect to the Adobe servers and find out if there is any update available or not .
    The update window that you have got is for CS6 only as there isnt any update for PS CC available right now( current version is 14.1.1) .
    Cheers,
    Kartikay Sharma
    Thanks Kartikay. I'm sure i'd read somewhere on the forums that Creative Cloud when installed would replace the Application manager? However, I went ahead and clicked on 'update' in Application manager & it said it was trying to apply 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' (no mention of CS6). Tthe update failed with the following message:
    'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
    Installation failed. Error code: U44M1P7'
    I've tried removing Photoshop CC from the list of programs to check for updates for in Application Manager but that made no difference either - the update for   'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' remains & failed again when I tried to apply it.
    I then tried removing CS6 from the list of programs to be checked in Application Manager & then it reported all my programs are up to date; when re-checked the box for CS6 the update reappears.
    So it seems there is an update for CS6 but there's the 'Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud' update linked to it which cannot be unticked without removing the CS6 update as well. If I try to check for updates within CS6, the same problem occurs.
    So if the update is indeed just for CS6, how can i apply the update?

  • Please help! My CS6 won't open and Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew CS Cloud subscription.

    Hi there.
    I recently canceled my CS Cloud subscription about 3 weeks ago and went back to using CS6. I was using CS6 Creative Suite without a problem until 2 days ago. Now my CS6 programs (AI, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) won't open. Instead the Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew the subscription, see below insert.
    I have chatted with Adobe customer support numerous times but when it comes to transferring me to their technical support, the chat mysteriously becomes unavailable. The only time the transfer went through, I was advised to remove CS6 Creative Suite using Cleaner Tool and reinstall, which I did but my CS6 still does not open and the AAM keeps popping up giving me the same message to renew the subscription. The AI/Photohop icons just keep bouncing up and down without opening while the AAM pops up.
    What can I do to stop this annoying AAM from popping up and open my CS6? I just want my CS6 to open up again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help!
