Adobe application manager not finding updates on PSE11

There should be a camera raw 7.4 update available, but it is not being found and I am not sure what other updates are not being found.
In addition I did a manual download of Adobe Patch Installer and when it was launched got the following message in the UPDATES pop up:
     > Error loading Updater workflow
I suspect this may be the root cause of the application manager not finding updates.
Any suggestions on how to get this Updater workflow to load?

FYI - I did an un-install and re-install of PSE11 and it looks like that has worked as the system is now recognizing available updates :-)

  • Adobe Application Manager won't update on Win 8.1 - cannot install apps

    Since updating this PC to Windows 8.1, the Adobe Application Manager which manages the Creative Cloud apps will not update itself, hence we cannot install or update CC apps (specifically, Acrobat).
    On clicking the download button on the Acrobat page of CC, the Adobe Application Manager starts to update itself, then quits with the error:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    Adobe Application Manager failed to install.
    [Quit]
    Repeated attempts fail.  We urgently need to admin several CC apps so to be forced to use the App Manager causes us substantial business interruption.

  • Adobe Application Manager. Error: Updates could not be applied. You are already running the Adobe...

    Hi Guys
    I am having a rather frustrating issue with my Photoshop CS6. I have been trying to run the updates for hours now as my Photoshop CS6 is slow and unresponsive. I have an i7 Mac and 16GB of RAM. it should not be slow.
    Anyway.
    I keep getting this error each time I try to run the updates.
    I have:
    Restarted
    Repaired permissions
    Reinstalled Adobe Applications Manager
    Nothing works.
    Pulling my hair out.

    I have even tried manually downloading the update DMGs and doing it that way but the error persists.

  • Adobe Application Manager failed during update and fils to reinstall

    G'day All,
    I put this up in November last year in a Creative Suites discussion thread (sse blow the line), and though the original post has been viewed more than 280 times, I have received no responses. I simply cannot update my CS6 software. I have just reposted the information below there, and figured I should try here, also.
    Details : CS6 design and web premium, HP Pavilion quad-core i7,  now running Windows 8.1
    Essentially my application manager failed while it was upgrading itself as I was attempting to fix a problem with Acrobat/the Adobe PDF printer constantly failing after printing only one PDF. The updater/application manager then simply disappeared from my system altogether.
    At the time of the original problem I had downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe; if I attempt to run it I get a pop-up window 2/3rds of the way through the installation and the following message 'Installer failed to initialise. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem'.
    Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists.
    So I tried the latest version - ApplicationManager8.0_all.exe. This installed just fine, but seems to be entirely oriented around CC applications, so I haven't tried it on my CS6 programs. Should I just uninstall it? I rather wonder why it says 'This patch will install the Adobe Application Manager that is included with Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products' if, in fact, it's just for CC products.
    So, any suggestions on what to do now? I'd really like to be able to update my applications via a Manager that will actually function.
    regards,
    Bill
    G'day All,
    (CS6 design and web premium, Windows 8. HP Pavilion quad-core i7)
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.
    Having been driven nuts by the 'Acrobat manager is not activated' message which persisted in popping up if I made any attempts beyond one to create a PDF - that is, I could print one, and then no others without a reboot, nor having done so could I read any PDFs - I searched online and got a discouraging, tangled mess of suggestions, including the fairly obvious one of checking that all programs had been updated by the Application Manager.
    'Ah,' I thought, 'maybe if I ensure everything's up-to-date this thing where Acrobat failing to start because it thinks it's not 'activated' means I can neither read nor print PDFs will be miraculously fixed without my having to install magical patches or deregister and reregister the entire suite in order to appease a program I don't even use or want!'
    Poor naive fool that I am!
    So I tried to run the Application Manager.
    It momentarily flashed a message claiming (I believe - it was only there for a second) another instance of itself was running, then proceeded to run an update process for the application itself, then threw up an administration window seeking to allow the program to modify the system about 2/3rds of the way through, and then announced via a little window with one of those horrible little red 'fail' symbols that the application manager had failed to install.
    It sure had!
    That's it - I now have no Application Manager to attempt to manage updates through! No shortcut - that disappeared too! Nothing in the hideous Windows 8 start menu! No search will reveal it! It's simply gone. Yes, I've rebooted.
    All I can find online suggests installing a new instance of the Application Manager, which is, of course, the CC version, and I'm not a subscriber. OK, maybe that will work, but, quite frankly, with two strikes against Adobe already I'm going to ask if anyody actually knows whether this approach, or any other, is likely to solve the problem.
    regards,
    Bill

    Thanks for the reply, Jeff. Sure am! But that's not the main problem.
    However, it appears the main problem has been fixed - via the installation of AAM 8 - a mere 9 months later! CS6 updates - woohoo!
    This didn't fix the Adobe PDF printing thing - in fact, I just lost everything I'd previously typed in response to you testing this hadn't been fixed by AAM 8's updates (it hasn't!).
    However, during the 9 month fallow period I've discovered that if I keep process explorer open and kill the splwow64.exe/acrotray.exe process tree after every single PDF printing  I don't get bizarre messages telling me the Adobe PDF printer isn't 'activated' or have my system go into a tizzy and need rebooting. So it still doesn't really work, but I do have a work-around...
    regards,
    Bill

  • Enable Adobe Application Manager for Auto Updates

    Hello all,
    I originally had Adobe Application Manager enabled, which gave me update sto all my adobe products.  But I accidentally disabled it and now I cannot seem to find it anywhere on my computer.  I have checked in my program files and in my applications.
    Can someone help me re-enable it?
    Thank you very much.

    So doing this in any of my adobe products will invoke the Update Manager so that Adobe will scan for updates for all my adobe products, not just the one in which I did Help>Check for Updates?

  • Adobe application manager not working properly

    First, If I'm in the wrong forum, please let me know and I'll re-create this entry in a better location. 
    I've been a user of Elements 10 since it came out but now with my new camera I would like to try Elements 13.  It was a struggle, but I finally was able to install the trial package but I can not launch elements 13 because the Adobe Application Manager refuses to connect and authenticate. 
    I went through this thread for help:  https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1098435
    and it lead me to some additional information below.
    And followed these steps under troubleshooting connection issues found here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    All of them worked just fine indicating that in theory, I should have NO problems connecting to Adobe.  However, that is not the case and I can not access the site that allows me to try or use the software....  The software manager just sits and spins its wheels so to speak.
    Now, the funny thing, if I type in the WRONG password for my adobe ID, the application manager software immediately comes back and says that I've entered the wrong information.  That tells me the application manager is connecting to where it should.  As a last resort, I have even tried turning off my firewall and still no luck.  Is there anything else I can try?  There would be NO point in buying the software since I would still be stuck not being able to use it. Or anyother Adobe software for that fact.
    Cheers
    David

    Jeff,  
    First of all, Merry Christmas.
    Now, an update.  Elements / Photoshop 13 installed just fine on the my Mini Mac.    My PC has been running since day one (four or fives years now without a complete re-do.) and this seemed as good as time as any to install a factory fresh copy of Windows 7. Who knows how many programs etc.. have been installed / uninstalled etc.. over the past several years and now its complete. Mostly...   Fresh Windows install, All updates installed, latest video drivers drivers and anti-virus installed, google Chrome installed.  I had no issues installing Adobe Photoshop Elements after that.  Again, I have to say its very sad it comes to this extreme measure, but I really and truly do appreciate you taking the time to help me with this issue.
    Cheers

  • Adobe application manager fails to update/install

    Please help me resolve this error and update App Manger properly.
    I have downloaded and am running Creative Cloud CS6 versions of Illustrator and Photoshop that I installed back in Decmember.  Now I'm trying to download more applications and am encountering this error:
    I click 'download' on InDesign (for example)
    Download initiates launch of Application manager, App manager opens main window then "initializing installer window"
    Application manager flashes this warning for a split second: "other instances of adobe application manager are currently running which must be closed before installing this product. Please close or wait for them to complete." (see image). This warning closes on its own after just a second.
    Then it continues to install for a few minutes, asks for my password then fails with the message, "We've encountered the following issues, Adobe Application manager failed to install" (no error number, see image)
    Photoshop and Illustrator still run fine, but none of my Adobe apps (including Air) will update properly now. I have tried deleting the App Manger files from applications > utilities and re-installing, but that also creates an error.
    I have searched for duplicate app manager files but have come up empty.  I've run the support advisor app and it checks out fine.  I have a token from that if it helps. 
    I'm running iMac 10.6.8 and I also have CS5 installed on this computer if it makes a difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.   I'd like to be able to run the apps I'm currently paying a monthly fee for.

    I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
    I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
    Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
    Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
    Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
    Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
    Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
    Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
    Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
    Step 8: close the black window
    Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773  and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
    Step 10: Run the application
    Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
    If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps.  I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever.  Each tech person gave me different information.  The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer.  If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
    Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out! 

  • Adobe Application Manager Not Recognising Installed Applications

    Hi,
    I've just launched adobe application manager for the first time on a month or 2 and it no longer knows that I already have photoshop, illustrator and fireworks installed, and therefore I cannot update them!
    Thanks for you help
    Matt

    I've seen cases in which installing the products with a different Adobe ID than the one associated with your Creative Cloud membership can cause this, but haven't heard of instances where just installing updates to AAM caused it.
    Another solution to try would be uninstalling the product not listed in AAM through the OS/with the uninstall and then just reinstalling it through AAM
    Control Panel > Programs & Features (Windows 7/8)
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)

  • Adobe creative cloud not finding updates

    Hey everyone,
    I've got a problem at the moment, for some reason, Adobe Creative Cloud isn't alerting me with any new updates. At the moment my creative cloud reads that I have updated all my app's and that they are all up to date, yet I know today Photoshop 14.1 with Generator was released, yet I can't seem to download it.
    On my Desktop however, I was prompted to download a lot of updates, downloaded them all, but to my surprise, photoshop wasn't an app included with an update, or at least it's still 14.0.
    Is there any way I can fix this? I've been searching and searching and unable to find an answer.
    Thank's for your help.

    @sanchaithw,
    As Vikas mentioned "if you are in an enterprise environment and could you please check with your Admin if he has  disabled/suppressed updates from Adobe and hosting in on a local server"
    Please let us know if this works, if not please check your private messages so that we can setup a connect session to resolve this.

  • Adobe Application Manager CC not working after last update

    Last night I avrived home and sat down to work on my website and other side projects after a long day at work.  I opened my application manager and it notified me that it had an update.  So naturally I agreed and was excited to see the new upgrade.  Sadly after a couple hours of trying to figure things out on to why I wasn't able to access my Adobe Muse and Adobe Application manager after the update I had to give up.   I was online with tech support about the issue and was given a link to download the application manager yet again (this would have been my 3rd attempt to do so, and the link that was given to me was outdated).  After finding out that this was going to take longer than I had hoped asked if the teck support could help me resolve the Muse issue.  I was told that I'd be transfered to the Muse support and never was after an hour or so.
    I'm now still stuck not being able to use muse (after a couple re-installs) and not able to use my application manager. 
    Currently when I lunch my application manager my backgound decktop goes black and the application manager pops up and is white with no options to choose and shows nothing.  When I try to use Muse  it askes me to log in, and then gives me an error message asking me to please try again later....
    Can anyone help, has anyone had this issue before??

  • 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.

  • 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?
