Acrobat DC shows as uninstalled in Update Manager

I have subscribed to Acrobat DC and have it installed on both my iMac and Macbook. On my Macbook, in the Creative Cloud application list, it says "Acrobat DC installed". On my iMac, it says "Try Acrobat DC", suggesting it's not installed (which it is). I'm assuming updates won't appear here if it can't see that it's installed. How do I fix?

Hi Badly Drawn Boy,
Please let me know what version of OS are you using on your iMac.
Also, ensure that no other previous version of Acrobat is already installed which might be the reason why it is asking to try Acrobat DC.
Please check and let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

The update to InDesign 7.03 is showing up in the update manager after installing 7.04

Hi,
after applying the 7.04 update some days ago the update manager is now presenting me witht the option of updating to 7.03.
A manual install of the downloadable update didn't help either.
I'm a bit uncertain if that might interfere with future updates...
Any ideas how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Mike
specs: CS5 (7.04 English) on Windows 7 32bit

Thanks - too bad anyway.
I finally had my colleagues/users at a point where they would apply the updates they were getting. And now this one fails.

ps: I had the exact same problem on another computer (Windows 7 64bit) today afternoon.

Vista shows Acrobat Reader 7 needs to be updated

When I go to Vista problem reports it shows that Acrobat Reader 7 needs to be updated as it is incompatible with Vista.
When I go to Uninstall Programs, it shows that I have Adobe Reader 9 installed. But at the top of the list there is an item that is called Acrobat.com. I'm wondering what that is? It appears to be a web site so why is it in my programs list?
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility will not remove your remaining Flash 9 OCX file; it won't probably even see Flash 9 anymore, as it had been (partially) removed.
There seems to be some kind of ownership problem with that file, that prevents you from deleting it. There are various tools on the Internet that allow you to assume ownership over a file, also some force-delete tools. Check Google.
The best way (for future Flash Player major updates, e.g. from 10 to 11) is to uninstall the thing, then do a new install instead of an upgrade. That should get rid of all associated files.
When I started using Secunia I found Flash 6, 7, 8 remains, and also very old Shockwave stuff. I use the uninstall method now for these players.

Adobe Acrobat Update Manager Stalls Apple

Every time I start up the PowerBook, the Adobe Acrobat Update Manager (for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional) stalls the start-up. An error window shows, on the Apple, indicating this. It requires, each and every time, a manual close-out of the Adobe updater. I have tried to remove updater, and yet it continues. This is NOT for the Reader but for the full-blown Adobe Acrobat program. Thank you.

Hi Jay, open Acrobat>Preferences and check for automatic updates to uncheck.
Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check System Preferences, the Other row for possibilities.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Remote Update Manager - Acrobat Pro

Hello everyone,
Please review this snippit from the Remote Update Manager (RUM) documentation.
Note: Remote Update Manager is meant only for a subsection of Adobe Desktop products. It can not be used for browser plug-ins such as Flash Player and for Adobe Reader, Acrobat Professional, and Adobe AIR application updates.
I ask the question... WHY?
Why, at the very least isn't Acrobat Pro part of the Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) and RUM configuration?
I've finally gotten my Adobe udate server working and created a Scheduled Task to run the incremental update everyday. Perfect.
Now I'm implementing the override files on my client machines and creating a Scheduled Tasks to run the RemoteUpdateManager so that my users (as well as myself) do not have to worry about updating the Adobe programs... BUT... one of the programs that we use quite a bit, Acrobat Pro, is not part of this automated update scenario.
So, I'm left still updating Acrobat manually which almost, but not quite, defeats the purpose of AUSST & RUM.
Can anyone from Adobe tell me whether there are plans to add Acrobat Pro to the automated updating procedure mentioned above?
Please say yes.
I'm so close to being at the point where the Adobe updates are completely automated. Adding Acrobat Pro to the list would be like hitting a grand slam in the 9th inning to win the game.
Thanks in advance.

Markus, thank you for the information.
First, If Acrobat is not a creative product then it shouldn't be offered in the CC collection of programs.
Second, Things being the way they are - Acrobat being deployable with the CC programs - it should be updated the same way as the CC programs. It would just make it nice and tidy and dare I say efficient.
I will check out the link to the tools. Great, more software to download, install and configure.

Solaris x86 10 u1 (01/06) Update manager showing obsolete patches

I installed 10 u1 (01/06) the other day. I ran the Update Manager and I think there were 8 patches, so I attempted to install them.
Only one of them successfully installed (118966-12), six of them show up in /var/sadm/spool/disallwed_patch_list_report:

And the last one (120041-02) failed.
Anyway, I was grep'ing patchadd -p for some of these and it looks like the ones I checked have been obsoleted by other patches (I didn't check them all, maybe 3).
So, why do they still show up in Update Manager? Or am I missing something (very possible, I'm not a sysadmin, I use this machine for development).

Cisco Custom ISO - VMWare ESXi 5.5 Upd 2 - VMware Update Manager still showing Update 2 Required

Hello All,
I just updated one of my hosts with the latest cisco image provided on vmware's site (Vmware-ESXi-5.5.0-2068190-custom-Cisco-5.5.2.3). After applying it as a host upgrade and then doing a scan against the host in update manager, it shows that ESXi Complete Update 2 is missing???
I know this may be more of a vmware issue, but wanted to see if anyone had run into this?

I ended up getting a vmware ticket opened. Turns out that the patch description was no that great and it was bug fixes for 5.5 Upd 2. We verified 110% that it was correctly updated. Update manager could not be so vague sometimes.
Thanks for the reply.

Solaris 10 x86: Update Manager quit working and shows empty warning message

All,
A little while ago my Update Manager stopped working. When I check for updates, I am getting an empty warning message box that has literally no text but only a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the upper left corner and an ok button.
Once confirmed, nothing happens. Googled the issue but so far no luck.
Any hints?
Thanks

Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
thanks muchly :^D
p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Acrobat Pro 9.5.2 No Updates Available (to 9.5.3)

Since reading of the release of the January 8, 2013 updates I have been trying to update Acrobat Pro 9.5.2 to 9.5.3 but "Check for Updates" under Help invariably returns “No updates available.”
I have downloaded the manual update but I am trying to get the Check for Updates to work to avoid to always have to manually update the product.
I first checked Acrobat Pro 9 and when that failed to find the update decided to update Acrobat Reader first and have subsequently checked and frequently rechecked Acrobat Pro and continue to have the problem of not finding the current update. Reader X updated from the previous version to the current 10.1.5.33 although I will probably kill that to get to Reader 11.
The thought of uninstalling Acrobat Pro did occur to me but the update process for Acrobat Pro 9 has been proven to be extremely cumbersome due to a large number of updates that have to be sequentially updated not to mention a very slow process as the original updates for Acrobat Pro 9 were not incremental and therefore required complete replacement of the software.
I tried the repair option for Acrobat Pro 9 but that only wasted my time and failed to correct the problem.
Windows 7 64-bit.
Thank You

Hi,
I have seen similar reports and would like to help, but you will need to work with me on this.
Can you please do the following:
(Make sure AdobeARM.exe process is not running - exit Updater if visible or kill this process using Task Manager)
1.
rename existing AdobeARM.log file in the User Temp folder
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Temp
2.
add iLogLevel DWORD 32 bit value in the registry below and set it to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM
If you do not know how to operate with Registry, the instructions are here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/136393
3.
Start Acrobat and select Help\Check for updates
4.
Whatever is the result, send me new AdobeARM.log file from User Temp folder
There is no private inforamtion in this log file - you can send it to me in the private message.

Completely uninstall Adobe Application Manager

I mistakenly installed Adobe Application Manager last night because I thought it was needed to make it easier to update my existing Adobe Reader v10 and my other Adobe products (AIR, Flash, Photoshop Elements, and Premier Elements). How stupid of me to not do my research FIRST!!! Now I can not get rid of the damned thing. It will not show up in the Windows Programs and Features program listing in the Control Panel so I can remove it that way and the instructions to completely remove AAM that are given on the web site simply do not work as I have NONE of the applications listed in AAM that purportedly will remove AAM if they are uninstalled.

I was also fooled into believing that Adobe Application Manager was a necessary update for my creative suite. Even if AAM is necessary for core functionality (i.e., see smoke and mirrors description for AAM), I would be left with the following concerns:
Core functionality has nothing do to with Adobes decisions to install software on my personal computer that appears solely dedicated to pushing unsolicited trial software.
Using the Adobe application update manager to install AAM/a mechanism to push trail software is deceitful.
The description for AAM appears to be intentionally misleading.
The interface is confusing; AAM lists installed software as not being installed, as well as software that is not part of my creative suite. Why would I possibly want to install a trail version alongside my equivalent licensed version?
If Adobe wanted to push an update that truly provided core functionality, they would have done this as they have done in the past, and I would not have a confusing listing of trial software sitting of my desktop.
For lack of a better phrase, I feel like Adobe Spammed my computer with trialware in a manner that is markedly disingenuous. My take away lesson – Do not trust Adobe updater, do not trust Abode to conduct business in a forthright and principled manner, and of most importance, image/backup before running Adobe updater.
Venting aside, I inevitably gave up on trying to uninstall AAM and reverted back to a recent drive image.
Does anyone know of a way to keep AAM from popping up in the application update manager?

Acrobat XI shows in cloud, not on computer

In the Cloud, Acrobat XI shows as updated, but it is not in my applications folder. Since migrating to a new MacbookPro, I have had all kinds of problems with my Adobe apps. I finally got PS and INDD back. The chat guys in support told me to uninstall Acrobat and then download it, but after uninstall it still shows in Cloud as updated, so I can't download it. Help? I do not want to spend 2 more hours chatting to no avail.
