Adobe Application Manager Hangs and Won't Load

I am a Creative Cloud subscriber
I manually uninstalled Acrobat XI -- I know, bad idea, I shouldn't have done that, but now it is what it is ...
So now I cannot run Adobe Application Manager without it hanging
I downloaded and installed the AAM patch from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
That did not solve the problem
I used the uninstallers to remove all my Creative Cloud apps as suggested here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html#download_freeze
That did not solve the problem
I'm stuck.  Now I have no Creative Cloud apps and I cannot get the AAM running so that I can get the apps installed.

Delete the opm.db. Should be somewhere in Library:Application Support:Adobe

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

  • Downloaded the 30 day trial, but when I try to open it "Adobe application manager" opens, and nothing happens. Help!

    I've tried several times now, but every time I try to open Premiere Pro the Adobe application manager opens, and nothing more happens.

    Okay, I'm a super-noob, so please bare with me. This is what I've done so far...
    *Installed the 30 day free trial version of Premiere pro CC (2014), which led me to install "Adobe creative cloud". From there I installed Premiere Pro.
    *When I double clicked on the Premiere Pro icon after successful installation the icon only appeared briefly on my dock before it was replaced by the "Adobe application manager" icon. No new windows appeared and nothing happened.
    *I then tried to uninstall Premiere Pro, but the uninstall window looked broken. There was only "-" symbols where there was supposed to be text.
    *Since I didn't know what to click on in the uninstall "guide" I closed it down and dragged the entire Premiere Pro icon to my waste bin, and the emptied it.
    *Thought I'd try to install the trial version again, and that something might have gone wrong the first time around. When I tried that I was only redirected to the Creative cloud where the Premier Pro icon is still listed under installed apps.
    *I then tried to uninstall Creative cloud and re-installed it in hopes that it would update and let me install Premiere Pro again, but the damn thing still thinks I have Premiere pro installed.
    I'm really frustrated now, and have no idea what to try next. If adobe had some kind of phone support I'd call them, but this is the only place I have found when I try to click on support.
    Please help if you can. I'm attending a course soon where I need to have premiere pro installed on my mac.

  • Adobe Application Manager hangs on installation, can't download any CC

    I just upgraded from CS 5.5 to Creative Cloud (I'm running OSX 10.6.8). When I try to download the programs from the "apps" page of creative.adobe.com, the download manager opens and then hangs on the "updating Adobe Application Manager" screen for several minutes before saying "The remote server is not responding in a proper manner. Please retry after a few minutes." I contacted support (case number 0184298932) and they suggested using the Adobe Cleaner app to delete the App Manager, then download the App Manager from the general Adobe download page. The App manager opens but says it can't connect to the servers. Support also said to create a new admin account and retry the process. That had no effect.
    I followed Robert L. Brown's advice in this forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399026#4399026 and was able to actually launch the application manager and download Indesign and After Effects. I tried to download Photoshop, got an error, quit the installer, and when I tried to reopen it I was back to my original problem.
    I have seen other posts in the forum saying to download the trial versions of CS6 and then authenticate with my adobe ID, but I can't find a download link for anything that's not Creative Cloud. There are no CS6 trials to be had anywhere.

    For anyone else with a similar issue, it turns out that the company firewall was blocking the download. I just connected the computer to a different network and now the download is working like a charm. Fingers crossed that it works when I fire up the program!

  • Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

    In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
    I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • How to I stop Adobe Application Manager appearing and asking me to sign in every time I open a Creative Cloud application?

    I'm all up to date and I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my Adobe software. I'm on a Mac using the latest version of OSX. The issue has been happening since I switched to a different Adobe ID about a week ago.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. I've tried removing 'OPM.db' a few times now, restarting etc but I still have the same problem. The Application Manager still appears every time I open a CC app.
    It appears twice when I open a CC application - the first time it asks me to sign in. Upon signing in, I get a 'Thank you' message. Then after the application has loaded it appears again telling me 'Don't let a good thing come to an end' and gives me the option to either 'License the software' or 'Start Trial'. I choose 'License the software' and I have to sign in again. I then get another 'Thank you' message!

  • 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.

  • Adobe Application Manager crashes everytime I try to download Lightroom trial

    Hey,
    I am using a Macbook air and I am trying to download the free trial of lightroom on this mac but everytime the download loads the adobe application manager crashes and ends the download. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Thanks,
    Arominger

    Application Manager or the CC desktop app? Sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app, restart your computer and sign in again. Don't start any other programs. If that fails, sign out and uninstall the Creative Cloud app. Run the CC Cleaner tool. Re-install CC app and sign in.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Application manager hangs when closing

    Macbook pro 2.66 GHz i7 OS 10.6.8
    CS6 Production Premium
    Updates complete, Application Manager hangs and does not close when clicking "close". Force quit, on re-launch all apps up-to-date.
    Is this a known bug?
    Any input appreciated.
    --David

    The other thread you are referring to was specific to a standard user account.  Since you have indiciated you are using an Administrator account I have removed your post to avoid confusion for the other topic.
    It looks like you are using an older version of the Adobe Application Manager.  Please go to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ and you can find a link to the current version of the Adobe Application Manager in the bottom right hand corner.

  • 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?

  • Why isn't the latest version MUSE CC 2014.3 updating in Adobe Application Manager?

    Adobe keeps touting the latest fixes and enhancements for MUSE but it's not available through the Adobe Application Manager. And they do not provide a link ANYWHERE to download this version. I have a client file that I am unable to open because I can't access the latest version of MUSE - even though I have a CC subscription. What am I missing?

    The key here being the 64-bit support ......

  • Update Failed - You are already running the Adobe Application Manager....

    I'm on Mac OS 10.8.4. When I try to update InDesign CC to the latest version, the Adobe Application Manager launches and give me the following error:
    Update Failed
    Updates could not be applied
    You are  already running the Adobe Application Manager. Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates.
    So, I quit the AAM, verify that it's not running in Activity Monitor and relaunch it... to get the same error message. I haven't found a solution online, so I'm hoping someone can help me get past this.

    Rfahl have you tried rebooting and then applying the update again?  If so, and you still receive the same error, then you may want to try installing the update in Safe Boot mode.  You can find more details for starting up in Safe Boot at OS X Lion: Start up in safe mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373.

  • Adobe Application Manager -- real adobe app, or is it malware?

    I have a user whose laptop somehow acquired this adobe-ish-looking icon on the task bar, and when it runs it says that it is
         /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe\ Application\ Manager.app
    and that it wants to update applications.  Then it asks for the root user/password.
    Is this a real Adobe application?  Or is it some piece of malware trying to get me to give it the system manager account password?
    (And is there some mental illness that affects Adobe engineers that they can't produce an update procedure that doesn't function as a Trojan horse?)

    Believe me, I'm telling the truth, and when I ask for your admin username and password
    I didn't disbelieve that part at all. And no, you don't have to have any Adobe apps running for the updater to notify you of updates. Normally, it's the Acrobat Pro software and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader that will pop up an installer message whenever an update is available. All others will show a number on the menu bar near the date. As an example, you'll see the Adobe logo with a 2 next to it if there are two CC apps with new updates available.
    So if you did install Acrobat Pro from your Creative Cloud membership or the Adobe Reader, then yes, it's completely normal for it to pop up on its own without the app running. It also clearly notes the update is for Acrobat Pro or the Reader and will say something about what your current version, and the new version is 11.x.x, do you want to install it? If you click OK, the admin box will appear to allow the update.
    It's good to be wary, but your account of what a Trojan Horse is, and where they may come from is greatly over generalized.

  • What updates is Adobe Application Manager trying to install

    I'm getting the same behavior that CLS_SP reports (the zoom animation for application startup blinks onto the screen for half a second and then disappears). I am running 10.7.4, on a 16 GB MacBook Pro. I get the same results when I manually open /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/ and double-click on "Adobe Application Manager.app". No entries related to AAM show up in Console.app in the system log.
    Is there another way to tell which updates AAM is trying to notify us to apply, without using AAM itself?

    Branching this to a new discussion as the previous thread was regarding not meeting the minimum system requirements for the Adobe Application manager.
    The update for the extension manager can at least be found at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/.  Which Adobe product do you have?  Do you have Creative Suite 6 or Creative Cloud?
