Application Manager says Acrobat X is installed when it isn't.

I had CS5.5 installed on my Mac, and then I also installed CS6 via the Creative Cloud and Adobe Application Manger to try it out. After deciding to sign up to the CC license, I used the Adobe uninstaller to delete CS5.5. That went smoothly, but now Acrobat X is gone (as it should be after running the CS 5.5 uninstaller) and the new Adobe Application Manager says that Acrobat Pro X is INSTALLED. I can't seem to find a way to reset AAM and get it to recognize that Acrobat is actually now uninstalled and install it again.
Any thoughts and help on the matter would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm moving this thread over to our installation forum.

Application Manager says Acrobat X is installed - but I can't find it on my PC. Help.

Application Manager says Acrobat X is installed - but I can't find it on my PC. Can you help please.

I am having the same problem. Control Panel shows it is installed(but all that does is let me uninstall it), but I can't find it anywhere. When installing it, it said installation completed, but some components failed to install. Would apprciate any help to figure out how to install this product. I have had no trouble downloading any of the other products I wanted from the Cloud.
The error report was as follows:

Adobe Application manager says I have already installed programs when that is not true

Hi there,
I have a CS6 subscription, and whenever I try to download and set up an application, it says that the program is already installed on two computers. Which is not true as I am going for the first install of that program.
I just spent an hour waiting for InDesign CS6 to download and install, and now I cannot start using it as it says it is already on two computers. AIt would be good to get the warning saying the program is already set up on two computers BEFORE I wait an hour for the program to download and install.
Online chat is not available and the phone number on the website is for the USA. I am in Australia.
How can I get help to solve this problem? I have NOT installed InDesign CS6 before, so how can the Application Manager think I have already installed it twice?
What is wrong with the application manager or my subscription? I am paying monthly to get access to CS6 programs and I am just getting error messages after a long wait.
Very frustrating.

Sam if you are receiving the message that the software has already been activated on two other computers then please choose the deactivate all option. You can then activate on your computer and then reactivate or activate on another computer.

My mac says that iPhoto is installing, when it isn't

Hi All - my macbook pro - which I recently updated to Mavericks, says my iPhoto is installing - when it clearly isn't. I can't access my photos. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

I tried that - it didn't work.
But what I noticed is that in the App store - if I look under 'Purchased' it shows that iPhoto's installation was 'Paused'. But when I clicked to restart downloading, it just says 'Waiting' - but goes no further.
Would another download of the Operating System help?

Application Manager Says Acrobat is Installed But it Isn't

I had to uninstall acrobat since it wouldn't start, some kind of incorect license message. It may have been installed, in fact it probably was originally installed from a disk I had. I assumed I would simply be able to re-install the creative cloud version from application manager but application manager insists it's installed. It ain't. This is after multiple reboots. Any ideas?
Eric

Hi Eric,
You might try to uninstall the previous installation:
Uninstall Acrobat X in Mac OS®
        In Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers, select the Acrobat X Uninstaller and double-click it.
        Follow the onscreen instructions to uninstall Acrobat.
        In the Authenticate dialog box, type the user name and password for an administrator account and click OK.
         Note: The uninstaller removes only Adobe Acrobat X files from the system. It does not remove Adobe Reader files, Acrobat user data, or files that are shared with other Adobe applications.
    (Optional) Move any Adobe PDF Settings files that you created from the Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF folder and drag the folder to the Trash.
Uninstall Acrobat X in Windows®
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features (Vista/Win 7) or Add/Remove Programs (XP)
    Find the entry for Acrobat X, select it
    Click Uninstall and follow the on screen instructions
Note: be sure to check the list again after uninstallation to ensure the Acrobat components are removed
After uninstall try reinstalling Acrobat X from within the Adobe Applictaion Manger

Application Manager says Photoshop is already installed?

Finally decided to join Creative Cloud. Downloaded the latest version of Adobe Application Manager, and I can't download Photoshop because it is listed as "Up to date." I need to fix this problem ASAP!
Note also that I previously had CS5 (master) installed on my computer (I use a Mac), but before I did any of this, I removed all apps from my hard drive (including emptying the trash). Not sure if the two are connected, but if so, I find it strange that only Photoshop is the problem when I had the full collection?
Thanks

Uninstalled Application appears as still Installed. SOLUTION: I'd like to share something about Uninstalling apps . Sometimes when installing an "X" app (using the Adobe Application Manager) a piggy-back app "Y" gets installed, also. And this without you noticing. To succeed uninstalling, make sure both the main "X" app and its piggybacks ( "Y" ) are also uninstalled. Normally, the uninstaller window will ask you if you want to uninstall the "piggy-back" app(s). Say Yes ! You wanna uninstall everything that the uninstaller window proposes you. Otherwise, Application Manager will consider app "X" as still Installed and/or updated, etc.
It happened to me with PREMIERE (my "X" app - the one that I really needed). By installing Premiere, a piggy-back came along (app "Y" - the one that I didn't know would be also installed ). That piggy-back was Adobe Encore. It was not until I uninstalled Encore, that Adobe Application Manager recognized my previous Uninstallation of Premiere. My Fault ! Because, when I started to uninstall Premiere a little window pops-up, and asked me if I also wanted to remove Encore. I said No. And that's why Premiere was still showing up as "Installed" in Adobe Application Manager. So, I uninstalled Encore using the uninstall app inside Encore's folder, and now I'm ready and clean to make fresh installation of Premiere (and its piggy-backed Encore). Funny, because, Encore means "AGAIN" . Here we go encore ! GOOD to share this. Adobe Cloud rocks! Peace ! fr. Luis "Netweaver"

Adobe Application Manager says Acrobat is installed...but where?

I cannot locate where Acrobat is installed... or what I am supposed to do next.

It should be located inside your Applications folder. Please try locating it there.

Creative Cloud : Flash did not install but Application Manager says the program is "Up to Date"

I tried to instal Flash via the Application Manager the other day, my laptop went to sleep during install and when I woke it back up again the installation had frozen. I closed the manager and rebooted my laptop. The application manager now says that Flash installed and is "Up to Date"
But the application is not on my laptop... I looked in the adobe folder and there is nothing for flash. Searching comes up with no results.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app manager but the same thing appears, I have no way to reinstall Flash. If you have any ideas please let me know!
Thank you!

Hi Jeff,
I am having a similar issue. Application manager says these programs are installed: Ps, Ae, Dw, Sg, Pl, Creative Cloud, but only Air and Premiere show in the Programs and Features panel as having been installed. The directories are all there, too, under Programs, but the programs won't run (nothing on start menu or in the programs list from that).
In addition, you say to uninstall the Application Manager, but it's not listed on the installed programs either. If I click on the downloaded file for it's intallation, it simply runs the program, as if it's already installed. Shouldn't it be under Progams and Features as an uninstallable program?
So, first, how do I uninstall the Application Manager? I like the idea of using this simple interface, so would like to continue to use it again after re-install.
Second, I would try manually installing the programs that are missing, but I don't know if that's safe considering the targeted directories are already full of files and data, as if they were installed, but didn't register properly with Windows to be able to be run.
I am not blaming Adobe on this, by the way, but I suspect that, because it was taking so long to install all the listed programs, I left the computer on and went to sleep, and possibly some power-saving feature interrupted the installation progress. It's a brand-new, very fast laptop, a Lenovo Y500 with Windows 8, and I just don't know how to control everything on it yet.
What to do?

Why does Application Manager say "Try" for Acrobat XI Pro?

If I have a Creative Cloud subscription, why does the Application Manager say "Try" for the Acrobat XI Pro app? Shouldn't I be able to upgrade my existing X Pro version? I have tried in the past, but it will not work after download.

Re-reading my post from Saturday, I thought I could add some more detail about what I am actually seeing.
When I launch Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2, the standard Acrobat window providing options for the next actions I can take with Acrobat - Open a file, combine files into a PDF, etc. - appears briefly and then Adobe Application Manager launches automatically. AAM shows me a window labeled "Adobe Acrobat XI." At the top of the window area is the title "Serial Number Upgrade," and the text below that headline states, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." It goes on to state, "To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number."
Below that there is a drop-down menu titled "Select a product," which lists the following products:
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Windows
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 3D V8
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
Adobe Acrobat X Suite
Next to this drop-down menu is a text entry block for the serial number.
Below that is the text, "If you have registered products in the past, you can go to you account page to find your serial number. Contact Customer Support for further assistance."
My next step will probably be to do another complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

Adobe Application Manager says Lightroom is installed. Its not.

I have been migrating my apps to a new drive and now I cant install Lightroom couse Adobe Application Manager says Lightroom is installed allready. What to do???

We have to Re-name the OOBE folder and so we will be able to install the software from AAM, once it is installed we can undo the OOBE folder.
Mac HD> Application support > Adobe> OOBE
For 32 bit : C:\Program Files > Common Files > Adobe\ OOBE
For 64 bit: C:\Program Files( X 86) > Common Files > Adobe\ OOBE
You can re-name the OOBE folder as OOBE.old.
Note: Please don't forget the Re-name the OOBE.old as OOBE once the software is installed.

Application Manager says Muse is "installed". It is not. HELP

Application Manager says Muse is "installed". It is not. I found a legacy beta copy of Muse I had downloaded a long time ago, so I erased it and all of its files. That did not work. What to do? I purchased cloud in part for Muse?

I found a legacy beta copy of Muse I had downloaded a long time ago, so I erased it and all of its files.
I'm sure ther Muse forum contains instructions on how to do this the right way similar to this one for PS CS& Public Beta:

Application Manager says "Up to date" but running 12.0

I installed the 12.2 update on my computer at work just fine.
But when I got home I tried to install it there as well. Ran the Application Manager and it downloaded the update and procedded to install it. I ran DW when it finished, but the update is not there. Now the Application Manager says my DW install is up to date, but when going to About DW it reads 12.0, not 12.2 and I do not have the Edge Web Fonts integration at home.
So my question is how do I run the update again? I have checked the Hosts file, Certificate, and Firewall. Nothing is blocked. All my other updates ran fine, but DW will not apply this 12.2 update for some reason.
I am running Windows 7 6-bit4 Pro with 32GB RAM and more HDD space than is necessary for an average home users PC (4TB).
Thanks,
Joe.

12.2 is Cloud only. The Creative Suite version is 12.0.3.
Which version are you running at home?

How does one force Application Manager to do a re-install?

I uninstalled Acrobat X to try and resolve some issues with plugins, but Adobe Application Manager insists it's already installed and won't let me download or attempt to re-install it again..
Can one force a re-install of an already installed application? Or at least persaude AAM to re-evaluate what is and what isn't installed? After all, I used it to install these apps - it should have some idea of what's what..

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cant-install-acrobat-aam.html
.. did resolve my situation (there are occasions when my brain just melts and I can't digest what the heck I'm reading. Sigh. Apologies for wasted bandwidth.
