AAM Wants to install apps already installed

I have a full subscription, and everything is working fine, accept AAM says that InDesign and Photoshop are not installed. I ignored it for a while, but it is kind of annoying so I let it try to reinstall them, and got an Installation failed message. So I quit the AAM and restarted it, and was told there was a new version available. Sounded promising, so I installed that - but it still shows Photoshop CC and InDesign as uninstalled.
Interestingly, those two apps were already installed as Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS5.5, but I also have Premiere Pro CS6 installed and the AAM sees Premiere Pro CC s installed.
So, can I force the AAM to rescan my c drive and find Photoshop and InDesign CC are already installed? It's just a wee bit annoying, but it seems to me that if it does not think those two apps are installed, it won't tell me when updates are available.

Are you on Windows or Mac OS X?
CC, CS6 and CS5.5 are all different major versions.
Do you want all of these versions installed or just the latest CC versions?
Uninstall InDesign and Photoshop from the Control Panel on Windows or from the links under Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers on Mac OS X. Then reinstall from the Creative Cloud application (updated version of AAM) and things should be fine. If you want the CS6 versions you will need to select them from the Download Center page at https://creative.adobe.com/products.

Will firefox for mobile run all my apps already installed?

Will Firefox for mobile run all my apps already installed? I would like to install Firefox on both my phone and on my tablet. They are both listed as being compatible with Firefox. However I don't want to lose use of the android apps I have paid for...

Thank you, I will install Firefox on my phone & tablet computer.

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

Already installed apps re-install themselves spontaneously!

Already installed apps re-install themselves spontaneously!
Yesterday, I installed iPhoto and iMovie. I didn’t use them in editing photos or videos but I opened them after installation to make sure that they were downloaded correctly and completely.
Today, I installed iBooks then opened it after completion of downloading and everything was alright. When I went back to my home screen I found that both icons of iPhoto and iMovie are dark with a download meter on them and the word “loading” below (as if I was downloading them for the first time!). I went to my settings and found both apps already there but when I went to “apps made by Apple” in the AppStore I found them started installation. I waited till completion of this second installation for both apps and when I launched them they didn’t show the welcome screen that appears after fresh installation or new update, i.e. they opened directly to their home screen.
Could anyone explain this to me?
BTW: the device is a brand new iPad running iOS 7.0.4 and I have only installed iWork apps + iPhoto + iMovie + iBooks.

Why uninstall then reinstall? and to fix what?
Both apps launched normally after installation for the first time, and in the next day I installed iBooks which also launched normally but when I went out of it I saw iPhoto & iMovie started redownloading themselves spontaneously.
I found that the icons were automatically rearranged alphabetically, so I thought that the apps were just refreshing their icons or something like that, but the installation process proceeded and I waited till its completion, then I opened both apps and everything was fine.
My question here is what caused this weird behavior?
Is it a bug in iOS 7.0.4?
Is it something related to iBooks?
Did the reinstallation process replaced the existing files without consuming my storage memory?

Application Manager shows 'Install' next to apps already installed

I have been using CS6 apps as part of a Creative Cloud subscription since not long after CC was released. I have only installed the apps as part of CC.
However my AAM window shows a blue Install link next to apps (eg ID, PS, AI, Acrobat) which I use every day. (You can see ID CS6 in the background of the screengrab below.)
The only two apps which show up as installed are AE (which I downloaded a month or two ago) & LR5 (which I downloaded yesterday) and even that shows a grey 'Installation complete Launch app' message when I've already been using it.
Does this suggest that AAM isnt properly monitoring the update status of my apps?
How can I fix this?

Pete.Green:
I don't see the need to do this really. IF you want to you can, but they're the same application. I'd stick with what you already have installed.
Cool.
So assuming Pete and Jeff are on the same page is the basic advice to:
use the CC desktop app to monitor the update status of the remainder of my Adobe apps, and
simply keep an ear to the ground for any updates to LR and update LR from within the app itself (Help / Check for updates…)?
Jeff A Wright:
You can safely ignore the Adobe Application Manager at this point and use the Creative Cloud interface. Also the normal Adobe icon will still be displayed for the time being when updates are available. These will eventually be handled within the Creative Cloud application interface but I have seen the same Adobe icon on several of my upgraded computers already.
Jeff, was 'can safely ignore' intended to mean that I can choose to ignore AAM, or that I should ignore AAM? If an update is shown to be available via the AAM icon in OSX's menubar is a user meant to use AAM or CC desktop to update the apps? And if the update status of the 'production' apps is at odds in the 'management' apps (as it currently is on my computer) which should I trust?
Is AAM now simply an app which is intended to work in the background (and hence should I uncheck 'Notify me of new updates on the menu bar' setting in Preferences)? Is that is something that will happen down the road, but isn't ready yet?
Sorry for all the questions -- which I appreciate are veering a little into the academic rather than being strictly necessary (I can at least use my production apps at the moment) -- but I'm just surprised how confusing this all is. And I don't imagine I'm the only person who is confused.
The Creative Clud Desktop help page makes no mention of AAM, and the Install and Update Apps help page only seems to add to, rather than clear up, the confusion about how the two managment apps are meant to work together.

How can I purchase an app already installed by another user?

We're using MacBooks in our business and I'm the new IT guy there. Basically I've discovered that due to lots of disregard by my predecessor (who is now my boss...>_>), people have apps installed on their computers that they don't "own" due to the fact his Apple ID is the one that they belong to. This presented a problem today when one of my coworkers tried to use Keynote, required an update to open a file, and was denied further progress due to needing my boss's Apple ID (eventually we just logged in as him and installed the update in order to keep things moving).
Is there some way to clear off apps that don't belong to a current user so that user can repurchase the app from the App Store with their own account and/or not be nagged by updates they can never complete due to Apple ID mismatches? Otherwise they just say "Installed" or "Update" and the users can't do a thing about it. I'd like to be able to reinstall Keynote to his machine under his Apple ID and also know how to fix this problem down the line when it's sure to happen again so people can reinstall apps/update apps already on their machines with their own Apple IDs.

You company has started a journey down the wrong road and you could have a mess of a future ahead.
Company Macs are not consumer Macs and should not be set up with personal Apple IDs. You should speak to the Volume Licensing division of Apple for advice on setting up Macs with company Apple IDs and volume licenses.

I need to have update option for the apps already installed on Afaria

I already uploaded apps on Afaria client. After that I make some changes to the app and again uploaded the apk and ipa of Apps. For the users who already installed apps previously , got UPDATE option. But they face following error while updating app.
In a nutshell user cant update his app but he has to uninstall it and again download and install it. Can anyone suggest solution for this?

Hi Aditya,
After making changes to the project you need to create apk from it with the same certificate that was created for the first time. I believe that the android developer is creating new certificate each time when the app is updated, resulting in this issue.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

App already installed

I downloaded an application and then deleted it and emptied my trash. The App Store says it's already installed. Do I need to delete a receipt or file from somewhere else to allow me to re-download?

Hi,
Try syncing the app to the iPhone from iTunes.
If the issue persists, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702

App Store Update shows App already installed, but still keeps bugging me

App Store Updates continually shows Apple Remote Desktop V 3.7.2 as an update. When I click on UPDATE, I get the message:
"Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
"Software Update from the Apple menu" no longer exists since upgrading to Yosemite. Besides, that's what the UPDATE button does.
I looked at other discussions, and tried the advice there, with no luck:
I downloaded Remote Desktop Version 3.7.2 again, and it would not install, saying a newer version already exists.
I turned off Applications in Spotlight, then turned it back on. I even restarted before turning it back on.
I went to delete "~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore" but there isn't one.
There's got to be a way get rid of this. No it's bugging me in Notifications to update software that won't update, because it does not need updating.

I can't find the disc, which was installed at least 6 years ago, when I was living in another city. Remote Desktop Admin was very expensive at the time. $299 if I remember correctly.
I've since deleted every file with remotedesktopadmin in the name, from system and user libraries. Restored 3.7.2 from the external drive, and the problem persists.
It would appear to be a software bug in App Store since I installed Yosemite. In six years of using Remote Desktop I've never had a problem until Yosemite install.
3.6 would not run because it checks for updates first. 3.7.2 runs just fine, and the App knows there is no update - otherwise it would behave like 3.6 and require an update. It's only App Store Update that erroneously indicates the App needs updating. If I deleted all plists, preferences, receipts, etc. what does App Store Update use to determine App update status?
Moreover, if I did not buy it on the App Store (there was no App Store six years ago), why is it showing up at all? I have lots of software that I bought directly from the vendor, and I don't get erroneous update messages for those.
Even stranger, when I looked at trying to buy a new copy in the App Store, instead of Buy, the icon said "Open". Somehow App Store thinks I bought it from the App Store, even though I didn't? I clicked Open, and while the App was running, the erroneous update message STILL persisted.

How to install apps considered installed by "Adobe Creative Cloud"?

I've a membership of Creative Cloud and installed the corresponding apps. After some time I deinstalled some of the apps manually (file system delete). Now I want to install Lightroom again, but as "Adobe Creative Cloud" considers this app still installed, it won't let me. What can I do?

Assuming you are using Windows, you will need to uninstall the apps using Control Panel > Unistall Tool.
This removes the files as well as registry entries regarding the app.
Restart tyour computer, and then open the Creative Cloud desktop app. You should be able to find your apps in the list under "Find New Apps" and can install again.

Can't install Reader "Already installed"

So I had a problem with Reader where it gave me an error message saying ReaderSomething.msi (I don't really remember the name) could not be found. So I tried to uninstall reader to then install it again. Though when I tried to uninstall, some files did not want to be removed, in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Resource\CMap\ Identity-H and Identity-V. I tried to remove them myself, but for some reason they, or the map Reader 11.0 cannot be removed. I tried to re-install Reader by downloading the latest ver from the website, but when I tried to install it says that reader already is installed, but it isn't. This is very annoying. I have tried to remove every single reader file, including the ones in ProgramData. But still it says reader is already installed. A screenshot won't help, because it's just the installer that says ☑ Already installed
What do I do to make this work? I am using Windows 7 64-bit.

A simple batch, well why didn't I think of that myself...
A slight edit of the file could work for future problems too..
@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"
echo.
echo Please paste the full key path.
set /p key=
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /setowner=users
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /grant=users=F
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /setowner=administrators
subinacl /subkeyreg %key% /grant=administrators=f
reg DELETE %key% /va /f
cls
echo.
echo Key deleted.
pause
exit
Not sure if that would work though...
Anyways, thank you very much. The file deleted the key (though it's still shown in the registry, but who gives a damn) I could install Reader and it works perfectly!
And I must say, thanks again for the fast and great support!

OIM91 Weblogic Install: Cannot Install because already installed

I am attempting to install OIM 9.1 with Java 142_15 for Weblogic 8.1 SP6 server.
When I get to the server input information, after I press next, it gives the following error:
"Oracle identity Manager Installer has found that Oracle Identity Manager is already installed on specified BEA Weblogic."
Here is what our env looks like:
We have 1 instance of OIM on JBoss (we have since removed)
We are installing into a brand new DB.
We have never installed OIM on Weblogic before
The Weblogic server being installed on is brand new
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks-

Also, see Note:457067.1
Bug No. 5568196
When a environment variable with string 'Xellerate' is set on a machine, the
OIM 9011 installer will fail to install OIM. A message is shown that OIM is
already installed and installer will not move forward beyond the screen where
admin server, managed server names and ports are entered (incase of
weblogic).
This should either be documented or the check shouldn't be made during the
installation.

I am unable to update installed apps after installing iOS5

After installing iOS 5, I can not update my installed apps.
Does anyone know of a way to resolved this problem short
of deleting and reinstalling the application?

After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.
I have not installed iOS 5.0.1 - to many problems!!
