Application manager failed to update error A12E1

I signed up for the Creative Cloud Photography package (Lightroom and PS) about a week ago and today it informed me it required an update. So i clicked on update, as you do? After a while the afore mentioned error code popped up.
After several failed retries, on both my laoptop and desktop pcs running windows 8.1 and 7 respectively, both 64 bit, I decided to uninstall and try restarting from scratch. So i uninstalled the Aplication manager from Control Panel.
Now it wont even reinstall on either PC, i get the little grey window pop up with the green bar that goes across and that is it??
Where do i go from here? I have only had it a week and its broke, cant say i am overly impressed with CC to be honest, it wasn't exactly straight forward to get PS etc installed in the first place and now this.

Mac124x please see A12E1 error installing Creative Cloud products | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/a12e1-error-downloading-creative-cloud.html for information on how to resolve the A12E1 error.

  • 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! 

  • Application Manager Failed to Update Itself

    When I booted up my Windows 7 system on Monday I was prompted to update Adobe CS6 applications. Application manager (which had been working fine since last year) failed to update itself. The Application Manager icon disappeared from my desktop and Application Manager no longer appears on the start menu. However, when I opened Photoshop CS6 and ran an update, Application Manager opened and successfully ran updates on four installed applications.
    A phone support technician suggested finding and running the adobeapplicationmanager.exe executable already installed on my system. I did, but Application Manager failed again. I downloaded and ran Adobe Support Advisor. It reported "cpsid 82829s1 A restart is pending" and created support package 40-92950-074702072013. I have restarted the system with no effect.
    How do I restore desktop access to Application Manager?

    Ok then I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine the root cause of your installation difficulties.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.
    Please feel free to post to this discussion any specific errors you might have questions on.

  • 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

  • Application manager fails to update.

    i get the green progress bar.. then suddenly a error message "can not install application manager".
    of course no further explanation...
    tried a few times.
    we use CS6 with a volume license at work.

    no, it has nothing to do with CC.
    i just wanted to update the application manager that comes with CS6.
    or better say i just wanted to start AAM. but it immediatley goes into "update mode" 
    the download works, then i see the progress bar that says AAM is installed.... and then i get the error message that the installation failed.
    the result is.. i can´t start AAM because next time the same game starts again.
    that is exactly the kind of problems i expect and fear from all this "always update, everything good comes out of a cloud" stuff.
    i just want to start an APP i already HAVE on my system and nothing works because it has to call home and decides it NEEDS an update right now.
    and now i sit here.. for hours.... and try to fix this problem.

  • Application manager fails to update CS6 Extension Manager

    I've tried to do the update several times in the last week or so. I've tried rebooting my Mac (MBP running 10.6.8 2.66 Core2 Duo w/ 8GB of RAM). I've tried repairing permissions, I've tried just about anything else I know. The update worked fine on my iMac (running the same OS).
    Any help would be appreciated to avoid future update issues. Thanks.

    @them,
    I'm just a user like you who volunteers my time here. Your technical question requires the response from a support engineer.
    I do sincerely think you'll get a better response by asking in the Downloading, Installing, Setup forum which I referenced in post #3. They have support engineers who monitor that forum for these kind of issues. This forum can only deal with general issues. Sorry.

  • Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

    installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
    Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
    CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    What do I need to do?

    I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...
