Adobe Updater 6 be deleted?

Should this be deleted or disabled? Why is there so much out there in other locations taht say this is bad?

Hi ekiM,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with the Adobe Updater. Would you mind reposting this on the Mac Creative Suite forum? You've reached the AIR installer forum and I just don't have the expertise needed to answer this one.
Thanks,
Chris

I've been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. It is preventing me contacting Apple support and blocking other contacts. I have deleted the downloads but the problem persists

My laptop has just been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. I deleted the download immediately and restarted but the problem persists. The malware has created a new search page, endless ads but more dangerously is creating hyperlinks hidden in normal webpage text. It is also blocking access to Apple directly and blocking me logging on to my bank etc

I want to remove Adobe Updater from the Mac OS X menu bar. It is defunct now that the Cloud updater is installed. I deleted the updater and other superfluous software when I updated to the Creative Cloud. Now I can't remove the Adobe Updater "A" from the

I want to remove Adobe Updater from the menu bar!

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Adobe Update Ran, Now PP CS4 No Longer Works with MPEG Files & More....

I think I know what this is but I thought I would make sure.
(Running CS4 Master Suite in Windows 7 Home Premium with 16GB Ram, i970 processor and six short stroked drives for cache, files, etc.)
Last night Adobe Updater popped up and wanted to do some installs. I had already been editing a project usine PrPro and AE for several hours so called it a night and initiated updater. This morning PrPro no longer recognizes my MPEG source files! Niether does AE or ME. In PrPro it hangs on "conforming." Did I get hit with the Revert to Trial bug? Could it be something else?
What I have done: cleared all cache files, rebooted, checked cache settings, rebooted, wiped deleted cache files, rebooted, cursed.

Welcome to the forum.
Sounds like the Revert to Trial Bug. See this ARTICLE for details and the fix.
Good luck,
Hunt

After an Automatic Adobe Update, Photoshop crashes on opening files

I just did the automatic adobe update to photoshop (CS3) and now I crash on opening files (file-open....crash!)
I tried deleting the preferences file, still crashes in the same place
I have un installed the program, reinstalled from the original program disc (not done the update) and it still is crashing.
I haave a Macbook pro with 2.33 Intel core 2 Duo processor, and am running 10.5.6
Any ideas?
Thanks
Carrie

You really need to be running the updated version of CS3. If its crashing in the new user its probably a system thing.
I would run Diskwarrior or Apple's Disk Utility from the DVD. then I would update the System to 10.5.7 with the 10.5.7 Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.

How do I remove the Adobe updater from the Mac menu bar?

I would like to remove the Adobe Updater from my menu bar for my Mac, I found a lot of instruction to remove it for other versions of the updater, but the I can't find that option in the new CS6 updater.
If there is a way to completely stop the updater from running, that would be useful too.
I also don't understand why the updater say "4" in the menu bar, I only have Photoshop installed, and there are no update avaiable.

I am one of the many for whom Application Manager just started to crash every time I tried to open it. I was also getting the 'trial' dialog box, then a request for a serial number, even though I subscribe to Creative Cloud.
After hours with Adobe Tech Support, I have gone the around-your-elbow-to-get-to-your-mouth method of creating a second user and installing CC apps there...hopefully this is temporary situation, but a girl has to work.
My question is this: how do I remove the updater notifications from the menu bar [original user] if I can't open Application Manager? It crashes every time...besides, Tech Support had me send it to the trash and delete it. I went to my other user ID, updated all, but I'm still showing the annoying update badge in my original menu bar. [Altho' Camera Raw failed to update...that's another issue]
Please advise. I had CS5.5 Design Premium...maybe it would be easier just to upgrade that to CS6 and ditch Creative Cloud!
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Updater

Hello,
We currently have a big problem regarding Adobe Updater that comes with Adobe Acrobat 9.1, which relates to our network connection. When the adobe updater program runs on a computer with admin privileges, it tries to connect to akamai.mel.pacific.net.au. The updater cannot run on our network, and sits on the persons taskbar, with a red x on the icon. When you click the icon, it says failed to connect to adobe updater. This causes our internet to slow down to 30kb from around 700kb(We have a fibre 6/6mb connection). It will stay like that, until you cancel the adobe updater program or restart the computer. You can see a constant connection to that address in our checkpoint logs which is causing the problem
I was wondering if you have heard anything like this before, so we can fix the issue. Currently Im deleting adobe updater from any computer on the network and looking to block the destination on the checkpoint side, But my manager wants a better solution, then deleting adobe updater.
Thank you.
David Field

You can set the updater not to look for updates.

Can adobe patch files be deleted what are they whay do they take up so much space

Can adobe patch files be deleted? What are they and why does it take up so much space?

sweetboo5
If you are using Premiere Elements 9 Mac, then the next thing to do is to get details on what you mean by "patch files".
There are no "patch files" as you describe. There is a Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update that needs to be used with the program. That you install and do not uninstall for best performance of the product.
What I am wondering is this. Do you mean by patch files and the description that you give Scratch Files?
If so, then you are looking at preview files and conformed audio and video files.
I am strictly an Elements Windows person so you will have to help me translate my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Windows instructions into meaningful ones for you as it relates to file location.
Under Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk, where do you have Video Previews and Audio Previews directed. At that location, you should be able to delete these files. They are automatically generated when you render Timeline content. The consequence of deletion is that you will need to render again content in the project from which they came (if that project still exists). Go to the location shown and delete.
Then look to see where the Media Cache is directed. Those are conformed audio and video files (cfa and pek). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. Go to the location shown and delete.
Then look to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database. That is targeting conformed video files (.mcdb file extension). They can be deleted and will be regenerated by the program if and when needed. You can click on the Clean button there to get rid of them instead of following the path to them as shown in the Media Cache Database area.
Do not delete any source media that went into projects after they were saved closed.
Please review the above and do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
If none of the above applies to your question, then please more details.
Thanks.

Photoshop CS3 10.0 - Adobe Updater Crashes

I have Photoshop CS3 V10.0. Every time I open my Adobe CS3 a "Problem Report for Adobe Updater" window opens, stating "Adobe Updater quit unexpectedly". It asks me to "Click reopen to open the application again" but doing this has no effect. I'm concerned my PS CS3 isn't being kept up to date, plus it's a real waste of my time each session. Can anyone help please?

THANK YOU Mylenium
That was most helpful
I'm not sure what did it but I followed these directions I found thanks to your suggestion:
I'm not sure what version they are referring to....
"1.photoshop preference-
2.general,history states to 1
3.click on 'next'
4.at the bottom of menu it says..."recent file list contains"
5.change to "0"
6. click ok "
I also turned off version cue - My version cue has never worked properly - or at least I get an error message on start-up of the pc
I enabled my 2nd hdd as scratch space and bumped up my ram resources
I deleted the psp file after the crashes started
If I ever figure out what made the difference I'll post it....
Cheers

Adobe Updater failure

Hi,
I posted my frustration on the Adobe Photoshop Facebook page because I found no easy way to contact Adobe about this.
One of the support persons that Adobe employs overseas "helped" me with my most recent upgrades to CS 5--Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Lightroom 3. This online support person pushed the wrong link to me and I ended up buying through the MIS area. (I discovered that after I found that I could not find a way to download my newly purchased files.) BTW, that took about an hour of online support trying to help me find the download area, because I did not even HAVE a UID on the Adobe MIS site. (I never should have clicked on the "help me" link in the store. I just wanted to find out if there was a package update that was more worthwhile financially than the manual updates I already had in my cart!)
Because I'm nearly deaf, I shy away from using telephones unless I must. Also I had to try to raise the support flag twice. The first "supporter" could not make any sense of my purchase ID. It took the second person ~30 minutes until they finally figured out what had happened.
Ok, finally all my products were downloaded, and I finally installed them. (There was also some complication with the serial numbers.)
Since then (around the beginning of this year), Adobe Updater keeps finding updates for the products I have, but when it tries to install the updates, it fails.
I will try to attach the example .jpgs of the AU failure window.
I do computer consulting for small businesses in NY City; All of this is often the type of problems I am constantly resolving for my clients, but this really tops the list.
If somebody in Adobe-land can help me here (even with fresh install files?!) I will be SO VERY GRATEFUL!
Thanks,
Michael Delugg

MIS?
Did you buy your software through Adobe.com? You should be able to log in to your Adobe ID account and download any software you purchased from your account page.
It looks like you moved or deleted some required software.
This document should work for you:
Try this document to resolve 12.0.4 update/install errors: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90228.html
Though you will probably need to reinstall the everything (not just Photoshop).

Adobe updater won't update

I have a notebook and a desktop with Photoshop CS6 on both. (Windows 7 on the desktop, Windows XP on the notebook.) Adobe Updater works on the notebook, but when I try to check for updates of Adobe PS on the desktop I get the following message:"The update server is not responding. The server might be offline...or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect." I have Norton 360. I have checked the firewall settings and all Adobe items are set to "Allow". I tried clearing the cache of AUM updater per Adobe help but no difference.

To make sure the update successful, the Extension Manager CS6 GM build (6.0.0.412) or 6.0.1 update (6.0.1.26) or 6.0.2 update (6.0.2.40) should have been installed (You can click menu item "Help"->"About Extension Manager" to know which version you are using) , and all files under the installation folder should be intact. There have been some users in this forum said that they failed to update EM, most of them have deleted non-mother-tongue resource files from Extension Manager installation folder. If the version is not what I mentioned above or you have deleted/modified some files, you will have to reinstall Extension Manager (from http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/) then update it.
You can also generate log files to help troubleshooting, refer to http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431136#4431136 for details.

Adobe Updater won't respond, won't go away

On my install of Adobe CS4 at work (running WinXP), the Adobe Updater keeps trying to run but it's blank. The buttons will not respond either.
Our IT guy has tried disabling them through the start up file for Windows but it keeps coming back.
I've seen some other discussions on the boards about this but those fixes aren't working for my situation.
Any other suggestions of how to fix this? It's really annoying.

- If disabling updates in the program do not work or the updater is still trying to run, I have heard of people having great success by deleting C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater6 folder and also C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater6. I would back up the files just in case but if Updater cant run in the first place it can't crash!Guarantees version control :-)

My computer had to be wiped clean and I had to reinstall my Photoshop Elements 5. I keep getting this message: The Adobe Updater could not be started. Please reinstall the application and components.
