Adobe Application Manager Trouble

I have the creative cloud subscription and everything was working fine until suddenly the application manager decided to stop working.
Two of them would open and bounce in my dock and then would say not responding.
The only solution I've seen is to uninstall and reinstall EVERYTHING.
This sounds like a ridiculous solution.
I may have made a mistake as well in trying to fix it, I used the cleaner tool to "clean" the creative cloud downloader... so now I receive an error every time I try to download something.
Currently I have the programs I need but am unable to get any updates. I also worry that if I uninstall everything, I may not be able to get it back since my problem is in the downloading of things.
My network is fine and everything else internet wise works perfectly. Anyone have any possible solutions for how to fix the Application manger and get the creative cloud downloader back?
Thanks!

Lets run the Adobe Cleaner Tool and use option 3 to remove Creative Cloud from the machine and then install Adobe Application Manager from the below link and try to install it.

- cannot open Adobe Application Manager it comes up with an error message "we have encountered some problems..." it then tries to update but fails.
thanks

Unable to install updates nor exclusive features; Adobe Application Manager damaged?

I've acquired a Spanish student's subscription of Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded Photoshop CS6 Extended, Flash CS6 Professional and Illustrator CS6. However, I have two issues related to downloading updates:
When I try to update or download an application, the Adobe Application Manager shows the message "Downloading error | Adobe Application Manager is damaged and it is necessary to resinstall it. Download it now or contact with customer's support."
However I reinstalled AAM three times, but instead of reinstalling, shows the message "Updating Adobe Application Manager" and after the installation, running AAM again shows the same message.
I cannot access to the Adobe Creative Cloud exclusive features of Photoshop and Illustrator, showing the application as if it was activated by a serial, and not by subscription.
I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit operating system.
Update: The version of AAM is 6.2

I have the same issue, particularly with Pixel Bender 2.5, all the other upgrades get installed correctly without trouble but this one always fail, the message I get is the same one every time:
Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5 Update
Installation failed
Can you point me in the right direction? It seems to me that the patch is faulty.
Thanks.
Update 01/15/2011
Here's another update on my issue with Adobe Application Manager, I just realized today that actually none of the available upgrades got installed. Although it only marks an error with Pixel Bender, other components such as Photoshop, Premiere and others aren't being upgraded either even when the program tells you otherwise, what I mean is that for example there's Photoshop 12.0.2 available for download so I click on "Update"; the files get downloaded and installed with no error message being displayed but when I check the software it is still version 12.0.1, the same is happening with Premiere and another one, can't remember which one.
This is additional to the issue of Pixel Bender being unable to upgrade.
Please advise,
Thanks,
David.
Update 01/16/2011
I tried to download all the available updates individually from the Adobe website, the only one that went through was Photoshop, but then when I double clicked it to install it the same faulty application manager launched and I got the same behavior than before, it runs the installation and displays a message that states that everything was installed correctly, yet there no upgrade performed.
All the rest of the available downloads failed to mount.
Also the speed for download is excessively low, I checked my connection and the issue is not on my end, but yours.
This is starting to become very frustrating.

Could anyone help me with Adobe Application Manager please? I write my approved serial number but can´t go further?

I bought a Student version CS5 back in 2010 for my studies and it worked wonderfully until last week. Now when I try to open any of the Adobe programs, it takes me to Adobe Application Manager and asks for me to provide my serial number. When I write it, it´s approved but it still does not allow me to open any of the Adobe programs. Instead, it asks me again for the serial number. I called support and they confirmed my serial number is correct but they do not deal with CS5 over the phone anymore. Could anyone kindly help me through here please? Many thanks in advance.

When I try to open any Adobe program, "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard - Adobe Software License Agreement" pops up. I press "Agree" and then it takes me to the next part: "Provide A Serial Number" because my trial had expired. I had never agreed to a trial back when I bought the CS5 package because I had the package, of course. And I have never had any troubles/messages to access my Adobe programs until last week. I called Adobe to confirm my serial number and it is correct but then the person could not help me further because they do not deal with CS5 over the phone, hence asking through here. Once I write the serial number, I get a green tick saying that "This serial number will be used for: Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard". I then press "Complete" and it takes me all the way back to the "Adobe Software License Agreement". It has been this vicious circle over and over. I unistalled it, then installed it again various times using my serial number and ID, I don´t know what else to do and everyone I call they can not help me for some reason. So thank you very much for taking your time in helping me out.

"Product you are trying to install is not genuine" - Adobe Application Manager error message.

Trying to launch the AAM and getting the error message that says "Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure. The product you are trying to install is not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit".
I've been subscribed to the creative cloud for four months, never had any trouble before, I'm not trying to download anything and nothing on this computer is counterfeit.
Any help?

Hello,
This behavior is due to a known issue (details at http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2012/09/security-advisory-adobe-to-revoke-code-signing-certif icate-apsa12-01-2.html). Fortunately, the solution is simple.
You need to download the latest version of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773. After you install it, the error will go away.
Regards,
Amit

The Adobe Application Manager prompts me to restart the download

Photoshop took 6 hours on my internet connection which is horribly slow. The problem is that if you have any trouble at all with the installation (like a file open you need to close) it RESTARTS THE DOWNLOAD. Can't you just save the files on my disk? Do you really have to start downloading all over again? (A pause button would also be nice).

From Adobe Application Manager I wanted to download Photoshop CS6. It says "install" but is actually downloading at first. A couple of nice things would be an estimate of how long it will take rather than the % complete. Another nice thing would be a "pause" button so you can pause and continue the download (common in almost all download managers these days).
So I had the Bridge open. I got the error pop-up that says "Please close Bridge and Photoshop". (Photoshop was not open, but okay). It has the option to cancel or retry. I closed the bridge and hit RETRY.
At this point the install indicator went back to 0 and in about 5 minutes it eeked up to 4%. That's when I realized it would be downloading again.
So this needs to be remedied, but I also would love to have had a "Report a Bug" button on the web site that could take me to a screen where I could have typed this all in. Much nicer, don't you think?

Adobe application manager needed for CS5

I just d/l and installed 3 updates for AI, ID, PS from the Adobe site. The update application isn't working. After d/l and trying to install Adobe Bridge 5.02 twice, I've gotten the same error message:
Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again.
It must have been working to do the other updates. I just d/l the Applications Manager for CC, which says it works for CS5, but to only run if I get one of 2 error messages:
Adobe Application Manager is needed to update your product.
Adobe Application Manager is needed to start your trial.
My error message is different but to me, implies the same thing. Should I install it?
I'm on a mac 10.9
thank you

Thank you for the response Jeff. I had just installed the Adobe software on a brand new computer that had just had a clean install done by Apple less than 48 hours earlier. I don't use Adobe Cloud or any of the online services. The Adobe Updater appeared after I opened ID for the first time.
"The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications."
Does this mean that there were some prerelease installation files on my CDs? This just doesn't make sense to me unless it's possible that something traveled with a document from my previous computer. I never had any trouble with CS4 and CS5 existing together before.
Does this change your thinking at all?
Thank you!

Adobe Applications Manage rin Yosemite Kaput. Advisor directs me here. Another Adobe Run-around. CS5 Extended still crashing with Eyedropper when moved to desktop.

I'm sorry to report that I've not yet figured out how to go about this 'Cleaning'. I've run the cleaner on the Applications Manager, then attempted to reinstall the downloaded Applications Manager and again I get the same message as above. I attempted to trash the Applications Folder and rerun the installer. That did not work. I then moved the downloaded Applications folder to the utilities folder and restarted CS5>Updates. It reports, again it can't find/or is damaged Applications Manager. I will now take the folder out of the trash and return it to the Utilities folder.
If I run the Recovery tool on Photoshop will I uninstall Photoshop or will it only 'clean' it. Does it mean I will lose any third party plugins?
I do thank you for your continued support. This is the first time a requested answer/suggestion to my troubles has been promptly be addressed by 'Adobe'. I am also pleased I can reply to an email to aid in resolving questions.
Again, Thanks!

Ok so I downloaded the most current installer CS5.1, My previous installer was version 5.0. It did install fine fully updated to my license version. I just wanted to update in case anyone in the future has a similiar experience. Too bad this advice was not offered by the "experts" here.

Adobe Application Manager Download Error (and other problems)

Last week I purchased a Creative Cloud membership (Student and Teacher Edition, if that matters at all). When I tried to download applications, the Adobe Application Manager seemed to be unable to connect and instead displayed "Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support." I read some of the responses to this problem on the forums, and after trying several things, I got it to work (I'm honestly not sure what I did that caused it to work). However, it is now failing to work again and I can't seem to fix it this time. As an additional problem, When I tried to open Adobe Premiere Pro (which I managed to download when I got the App Manager working for a while), I got the opening screen that asked me to open a project or start a new project. No matter what I clicked on, Premiere Pro closed with an error message. Just as with the App Manager (and at the same time), I managed to get Premiere Pro to work (it seemed to work after I set permissions so I thought I solved it), so I was able to use it for a day. However, now the problem has returned.
I don't know if these two problems are related, but they started working at the same time and stopped working at the same time, so I'm posting them together in case there is a connection. I am running Windows Vista on my home computer. I can sign on to the creative cloud online without problem so it recognizes me as a creative cloud subscriber. My Internet connection is working fine. I have disabled all firewalls and it still doesn't work. Very frustrating, obviously.
Thanks for your time and any help or suggestions you can give.

Kardypaine for your Internet configuration difficulties I would recommend reviewing Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.
For the failure of Premiere Pro to open you will want to review the install log to see if you received an installation error. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

How to install Adobe Application Manager?

How to install Adobe Application Manager? I downloaded it, but can't install.
Just purchased the CC for photographers. Have been using Photoshop since version 3.
I have been studying your support docs for several days and have no business messing around with something called, .gz files and installation logs. Totally unsuccessful "Updating" my CS6 or CS6 bridge or Extension Manager or the Adobe Support Advisor by the CC Desktop.
Have no Photoshop CS6 because I followed your CC support instructions.
Uninstalled my CS6 today so I can finish a job tomorrow. Bad decision on my part because I can't reinstall it and am unable to correct
this problem.
I was able to use CC to update LR, but am absolutely too afraid to touch it now.
I have been waiting inline for Chat also, but the numbers ahead of me are going up.
If someone in this Community forum can help me, it would be fabulous.
Thanks very much.

Uninstalled Creative Cloud.
Downloaded it again - 4th time.
Deleted a AAMDetect file from the Library/Internet Plug-ins
Downloaded and installed Adobe App Manager and an icon for it is on my Desktop
Installed Creative Cloud.
OK.
Now how do get my Photoshop CS6 back before I download Photoshop CC?
CS6 is not listed in the available Apps in the CC Desktop.
Support wait time right now is 2 hours by phone.
After sitting on Chat yesterday only to see the people "waiting ahead of me" go from 17 to 18, I gave up.
Please advise.
Thanks again.

Photoshop CC 2014 Adobe Application Manager unreaparable issue

Suddenly Photoshop CC 2014 give me this error: Adobe Application Manager is required and is missing or damaged. I downloaded it, i uninstalled photoshop and any other adobe apps, a unistalled creative cloud. I reinstalled everything and i always have this error. Adobe Application Manager doesn't show in my softwares but i installed it. How can i resolve without restoring? Thank you

In the past I had a problem with the Adobe Creative cloud Desktop Application and the Adobe Application Manager. Had problems more then once. Even requited Adobe assistance. I Had to install to Adobe Application Manager for when it updated itself is when the problems began. There was a problem in one of Adobe databases for my user id the file messes up was "opm.db" . Can not remember how things were finally fixed. I post a search and the download links.

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?
