How can I flush/repair installed programs in the Application Manager / Creative Cloud?

Hi. I had installed a few of the Adobe programs through the Application Manager/Creative Cloud service on a Windows 7 system. The system crashed, forcing me to recover from a prior time backup, which was from before I installed the programs. Now, the Adobe Application Manager shows the prior programs as "Installed", and will not allow me to re-install them. These programs *do not* appear in Window's "Uninstall Programs" listing for me to uninstall manually, *nor* do they appear in the Start Menu to launch. And as far as I can tell, they no longer have Registry entries.
How do I flush the Application Manager to tell it that I do not have these programs installed anymore, or force it to re-install?
Thanks.

I don't believe the data on what is installed and what is not is held at Adobe; I think it is in your particular instance of the AAM that "knows" what is installed.
I'm not sure what happened to me will help you or not but... Also, I have a Mac not a Win7 system.
In my case, I had Acrobat X Pro and I download Acrobat XI. Acrobat does not like to install when there is an older version already on the machine. Adobe tells you to unistall the older version and then install the new version. Why this isn't in their install scripts is beyond me. The installer for Acrobat XI ran sucessfully. I didn't realize the problem until I went to open a PDF.
I manually uninstalled Acrobat X. Still had problems. Then I manually uninstalled Acrobat XI. (Both times I used the uninstaller Adobe provides.) I started AAM and it showed the XI installed. I tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. The tool is supposed to clear out any left overs after an uninstall and thus "flush" AAM. When I ran the Cleaner, Acrobat XI didn't show up in the list of programs. I eventually found a second uninstaller for Acrobat XI that cleaned things up such that AAM agreed I needed to install the software.
With the disk-based installs, when you ran the installer you got an option to "repair" the current installation. Why you have to jump through all the hoops that AAM has not is beyond me. It would seem more rational to put options into AAM directly to let you re-install things or repair them. This is one where Adobe dropped the ball.

  • How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

    How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?  Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Dave

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

  • I just bought the monthly package of lightroom and photoshop cc. I can't seem to find it under the apps on creative cloud - can you please assist me with this.

    You can right click the tab and choose "Close Tab" to close a tab.
    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to open the "File" and "Bookmarks" menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by pressing Alt or by pressing F10.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • Im trying to install photoshop but the application manager says its up to date. What does it mean?

    Ive just bought a year subscription to creative cloud so that I could use photoshop for editing. When I try to down load the software it says its up to date but there is currently no photoshop on my computer.
    I did use the free trial some time ago but I since removed it. How do I reinstall photoshop?

    Mac or Win? How did you remove the previously installed Photoshop trial? Did you use the uninstaller, or did you just drag it to Trash?
    The Application Manager finds signs that Ps is already installed on your machine. Do you have any other Adobe creative software installed as well?
    I think that it might be best to remove all traces of and then attempt a fresh reinstall. Use http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to clean up your system and reinstal the software.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 cloud - I can no longer use "Save As'  and the Application manager won't open.

    I always open an old page and use "save all"  to save it,  then "save as"  and change the name of the page to what I want the new page to be the rewrite the new content. It doesn't open a box for name change any longer. Also The application manager does not open at all.
    What to do to fix this?

    Hi Roger,
    Can you close other applications open on your computer, and retry before the experts here suggest other solutions?

  • How can I recover my personal psd config after troubleshotings witg creative cloud app?

    Hi this is Oscar, recently my creative cloud had an unexpected error and got frozen, after this I couldn't acces to any adobe program and solution proposed was to reinstall creative cloud aplication.Ok i did it and now it's all ok, BUT muy I've lost my photoshop presets, panels configurations and some actions....could I recover my old configurations?
    Thanks!!!!
    have a good day!
    Oscar

    You would have had to save and export them before you did all that, so no, there is nothing to recover because quite simply nothing is there.

  • The FASFA.edu.gov website for my financial aid will not work with Firefox newer than 4.0. How can I downgrade long enough to complete the application?

    I contacted the online help there and was told there is nothing they could do and that I should go find another computer with a less current version of Firefox or IE.!!!! UGH....Government!

    Yes as a one off using IE is probably the easiest answer. Another solution is to use Firefox3.6 portable (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 ) . Whilst on Firefox 5 it is worth using the feedback button or link (http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback#sad ) so that the problem is logged.

    Hi,
    Have you tried updating your iPad through iTunes? If you haven't already synced to your computer, you might have to do that first, but hit "Check for Updates" and it should update through the computer.
    I hope that helps,

  • How do I uninstall the Application Manager?

    After a difficult installation of Creative Cloud, my Windows 7 64-bit Desktop freezes after a period of time ranging from minutes to hours.  Desktop icons won’t launch, and context menus won’t display.  Quick Launch icons still work OK.
    I asked a computer guru with a broad range of knowledge about this. He says he’s seen this before, and it involves processes running in the background.  He recommends using the Adobe cleaner tool to remove the Application Manager.  Yesterday I found a post on where to get it and how to use it, but today, I can’t find it.
    So my question is, “Where do I get the cleaner tool and how do I use it to remove just the Application Manager?”

    Cwcsdc are you saying that you are experiencing slow performance over multiple Adobe Creative applications?  You can find information on the cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  You may want to consider though posting to a couple of the specific product forums if you are experiencing performance issues however.  The CS Cleaner Tool is more likely to help when an install has failed and the Creative application is unable to even open.

  • Help install photoshop CS6 adobe application manager

    I'm trying to install CS6 via the application manager. It downloads a file and then hangs at waiting to install. I've tried everything I can think of disabling virus scanner. I have CS5 installed could that be conflicting with the new software? Any ideas or help would be appreciated!!!

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again. Clean out all apps and reinstall them when needed. You could be seeing a conflict with some shared components or an update having introduced some incompatible data.

    Hello Kencrews,
    When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.

    Hi dmomoney24  ,
    Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
