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!

  • 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

  • Adobe Edge Animate Cloud installation not recognized by Adobe Application Manager

    I installed Adobe Edge Animate with a direct download from the website.  In order to have it be recognized by Adobe Application Manager, I trashed the App and downloaded it again through the Adobe Application Manager and installed it.  After restarting the  computer, the Adobe Application Manager still does not recognize the app and it is listed as "Install"  Please advice as how to make Adobe Application Manager recognize Adobe Edge Animate so it is listed a "Up to date"?

    Stefan,
    I don't think your problem has anything to do with you downloading Edge Animate directly from the website. I setup all Creative Cloud programs through Adobe Application Manager on a clean-installed Mac. Everything looked good for a few months but now Edge Animate and Touch Plug-in Apps always show as "Install" in Application Manager. I installed both like 3 times using the application manager (even though I already had them installed) and that made no difference either. I think problem lies in the application manager. Maybe some Application Manager update that was supposed to fix another issue caused this bug. I'm hoping Adobe is aware of this and working on a fix. While it's purely a cosmetic problem, it's quite annoying to see apps already installed showing up as not installed.

  • 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

    Do I need adobe application manager? and what does it do? can i uninstall it on Mac OS X Mavericks?

    The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

  • Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

    Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy.  What should I do?
    I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM.  But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install.  It is like an infinite loop!
    Please, someone help!
    Thanks!

    HI gener7!
    I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud.  I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application.  My AAM version is:  8.0.0160
    The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work.  A window shows up during that install that says:
    We've encountered the following issues.
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
    Thanks!

  • Creative Cloud Desktop frozen/spinning wheel after updated version April 22,2015; Adobe Application Manager won't sign in either - Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

    I cannot update any apps via Creative Cloud Desktop Application just prior to nor after the April 2015 updated.
    I've tried everything listed in support forums, including:
    uninstallation
    removal of the AAMUpdater and OOBE folders in both the user and system libraries
    use of the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
    enabling the root user and cleaning everything out there and reinstallation from the root account
    and reinstallation of both the Application Manager as well as Creative Cloud Desktop...multiple times.
    I've also tried out the instructions to uninstall Java and reinstall the latest version of Java.  I have looked through every iteration of these issues on several support forums, and tried everything that has supposedly "worked" to get Creative Cloud Desktop back up and running.
    I am on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.
    I also can't sign in via the Application Manager, with message that I am not connected to the internet.  I can launch the versions of Photoshop CC 2014, Illustrator CC 2014, Lightroom 5, etc., but when I try to sign in to any of those applications, the Adobe Application Manager launches, asking for a sign in, and then won't connect...no matter what.  I have tried doing this from the root account with the firewall temporarily disabled as well.  I do not have internet connection problems whatsoever, and all other applications, browsers, etc., can reach all aspects of the internet just fine.
    The most peculiar thing: I have another Creative Cloud installation on my MacBook Pro with the same version of Yosemite, and everything is loading and working just fine, with all the latest updates.  Duplicate installation for my laptop, and yet my iMac with the same installation won't work at all.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I've attempted to repair permissions the usual way, as well as through a complete cleanup via Onyx.  Still no dice.
    Creative Cloud Desktop was working previously, for quite a few months (with the occasional "can't connect" and inability to load the App Update panel, which seems to plague the software constantly anyway...but at least it worked intermittently) well after I installed Yosemite.
    This is a more recent issue...just a few days ago...before installing the update, as well as after.

  • In Windows 7 I mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and all applications (CS3E, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from programs on the start menu

    WIN7: Mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and now all Adobe apps (CS3, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from the programs list in the start up menu.
    CS5 Bridge is still there so I can get into the photo editor to de-activate it and re-install.
    However, all of CS3 has disappeared so I cannot get into it to de-activate.
    Question 1: Will downloading and re-installing Adobe Application manager get CS3 automatically back?
    Question 2: If not, what to do to get CS3 back things working properly again? Remember, I can't de-activate it.
    Thanks and have a happy day!

    Don't worry about activation unless you are installing on a new and different machine. Simply reinstall in order. It should all work.
    Then install any updates. Product updates
    After that, let me know how it went and if there are any further questions.

  • Adobe application manager won't recognize Acrobat Pro XI for Mac

    I purchased and downloaded Acrobat Pro XI for Mac.  The installation is successful, but when I attempt to open it the Adobe Application Manager interrupts and says "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  It then says to "To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own an interest serial number."  Except Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is not listed.  I confirmed I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Mac,English) and the serial number I have is correct.  Please advise.

    This error message comes when you try to activate the upgrade version which requires the previous version to activate.
    Please follow the steps to activate the upgrade version product.
    1. Install the porduct and enter the upgrade version serial number
    2. When it asks for the previous version serial number, enter the older version serial number
    3. You would be able to activate
    In order to locat the serial numbers please follow the below link:

  • Has anyone had issues with the new Mac Pro computers and the Adobe Application Manager?

    We just purchased a new Mac Pro and transferred everything from the old computer to the new one.  Now we are getting Adobe Application Manager errors and it wants us to download Application Manager.  That leads us to the Adobe Installer that encounters the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.  But that doesn't work either.
    Anyone run into this?

    Yep, half of my tracks are coming up displaying an error -69 ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684 ) and every time I remove a track from the shuffle or update the shuffle, Itunes opens a window displaying the contents of J:\ (obviously the ipod) and hidden folder \iPod_Control.... I'm really irked with this. Been mucking around with the stupid thing for hours now.
    Nothing was wrong with it until it suddenly decided to stop working, it wouldn't play tracks and Itunes wouldn't recognise it, hadn't missed a beat up till now. Sifted through the Support site for an answer and getting told I needed to update Itunes and update the Ipod software, ***?? It was working fine before. Me thinks Apple have inserted software in ipod to force users to update to newer version of Itunes. Anyway, ever since updating to the latest Itunes, the Ipod is back in action, but it is trying to tell me that half of my mp3s are corrupt (see error -69), rofl, um no, it's your stupid software Apple, I'm off to by myself a decent MP3 player without the bloat software.
