Adobe Update Manager Crashes even though not installed???

Using Mac OS (Tiger), each time the Apple is re-started, adobe manager update flashes on the screen and crashes the starting of the Mac. This happens even though I have deleted all the "Update Manager" programs that i can find. The "problem report" window says the path of the crash is: Path: /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Updater.acroplugin/Adobe Update Manager.app/Contents/MacOSClassic/Adobe Update Manager
Parent: WindowServer [69]
But, I follow that path and it does not exist.
I have tried calling Adobe and have never found a less helpful company in any area of life. If I could delete all Adobe products and find another pdf reader I would gladly do that. Any help, please?

I'd recommend re-installing Acrobat. If that doesn't help, try deleting your system cache using a utility like Applejack or Onyx.

Error in Adobe 9.3.4. Will not install after crashing on PC

Here is a screen shot when I try to re-intall Adobe Reader.
My version of reader was not working all of a sudden. Yes-I have removed the program first and still the below Error 1402 code pops up and the Adobe download manager crashes and will not complete intall. Many thanks for your ideas.
Windows XP-SP3

I tried your set up on Post #7 and
enetered the info as you had, with caps and without the spaces...
I re-booted and tried to download again. Same ERROR CODE 1402.
When you last hit enter, do you just X the dialog box closed??
Are there older versions of Adobe without the Bug that might work better??
If so, please post.
Thanks much for your time.

My thunderbold firmware update 1.2 (2013) keeps popping up in App store - even though I installed it already ....

The subject says it.
I already installed the update but it keeps poping up.
What can I do to shut it up ?
Or didn't I install it properly ?
One thing to note - I installed the update on battery power only (even though not recommendet I know).
But the screen went grey like it says in the instructions etc.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Michi

Hello michihauer,
The system will, indeed, need to be connected to a power source for the update to actually install. The grey screen was likely an attempt to install the update that was abandoned as soon as the system identified that it was not connected to an external power source.
Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.2
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1653
Do not disturb or shut off the power on your computer during this update. Note: Your computer must be plugged into AC power for the update to install.
All the best,

Adobe Update Manager Disabled using Packager

Hi,
I installed CC Apps by use of a package created with Creative Cloud Packager. I had the "Adobe Update Manager" set to Disabled. Also, "Disable Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application" was checked.
Now that the apps are installed, is it possible to have them Auto-Update again? I downloaded the Creative Cloud Desktop App and installed it, but it doesn't even see that the apps are already installed, and wants to install them all over again.
Any ideas besides re-creating the packages and re-installing everything?
Thanks in advance,
James

Hi JamesAcart,
Please follow these Steps to enable the the Adobe Update feature.
Windows:

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I wanted to restore my iphone beacause i've forgotten the passcode but it is asking me to update my software even though my iphone is up to date. and in the end , the update is showing error.

hello. i am having hard time with my iphone 4s. actually, i did set my passcode using the tamil keyboard. my passcode was 'ka' and 'lai'. there's no such alphabet in the keyboard. in order to get "lai" we've to tap "la" and "i". so, it will transform into "lai". i did this in my settings. and when i locked the phone and tapped the word "ka', "la" and "i', this time the two alphabets are not transforming into "lai". it keep remains as two different alphabets. so, i couldn't unlock my iphone 4s. then, i decided to factory reset it via itunes. but, there's a problem again. when i tapped the restore button it is asking me to update iphone software even though it is up to date. and yet when i clicked the download button, it will start the downloading process but after sometime there will be an error in downloading. so, until now i couldn't unlock my iphone. i hope there will a reply as soon as possible.

Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
Pdfs with other versions are okay:
Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,
Louise.

Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.
Thanks,

Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

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.

Apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed

I have all Creative Suite (Master) apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed. Why?

I find a way that could be firing this issue.
First, I installed Creative Cloud in spanish language, then installed some apps like DW, PS, FW, FL, and some more.
Then, some days ago, I realized that my apps were in spanish language, but I prefer them in english, so I switched the language of CC to english in settings options.
Now, these apps installed in spanish language are marked as "not installed" and I see the option to install them. And applications installed before language change, are fine and tracked for updates.
Maybe the issue is related to language changed, the CC manager can't track the language change.
Hope to find a solution in short time, this could be a major issue for someone.
At this time, I'm re-installing the apps in english, I think they must override the spanish ones.
I'm using MacOS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) on MacBook AIR, Core i7 (if that make sense)
Cheers!

PS CS6 update 13.0.5 will not install

PS CS6 update 13.0.5 will not install. Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7. What is the problem. please?

Are you on a Mac and have a perpetual license (non-subscription) to CS6? Otherwise the update is not applicable.
If you are indeed on a Mac and do have a perpetual license (non-subscription) to CS6, there are two things to watch out for:
1.— Some necessary file(s) may have been deleted. If that is the case, using the Adobe Uninstaller go ahead and uninstall Photoshop, then run the CS Cleaner Tool (downloadable from Adobe) and Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility.
2.— Make sure you don't have an expired trial version installed on your disk. If you do, apply the steps in #1 to said trial install.
Good luck.

"Check for updates" is disabled even though I'm signed in as administrator.

I would like to upgrade to the newest Firefox version, but it's not allowing me to (& check for updates is disabled) even though I'm signed in as the administrator. How do I change this? How do I get to the installer preferences?

I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 under Windows 7 Service Pack 1. If there is any other relevant information I missed out, please tell me! :-)
Yes, a re-installation would most probably solve the problem but I'm to curious to do that. I want to know why some settings are unavailable even though I run Firefox as an Administrator. :-)
I have attached a screen dump of the About-window (Firefox->Help->About Firefox). The button for updating Firefox is replaced by the text "Uppdateringar är inaktiverade av systemadministratören" which translate to "Updates are inactivated by the system administrator".
The other dump is of the updates settings (Firefox->Settings->Settings->Advanced->Updates). As you can see, the options for automatically updates is not available. This dump correspond to https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-06-01-08-15-43-7e6d8a.png
Both dumps are done when Firefox is ran as administrator.
