Application Manager shows 'Install' next to apps already installed

I have been using CS6 apps as part of a Creative Cloud subscription since not long after CC was released. I have only installed the apps as part of CC.
However my AAM window shows a blue Install link next to apps (eg ID, PS, AI, Acrobat) which I use every day. (You can see ID CS6 in the background of the screengrab below.)
The only two apps which show up as installed are AE (which I downloaded a month or two ago) & LR5 (which I downloaded yesterday) and even that shows a grey 'Installation complete Launch app' message when I've already been using it.
Does this suggest that AAM isnt properly monitoring the update status of my apps?
How can I fix this?

Pete.Green:
I don't see the need to do this really. IF you want to you can, but they're the same application. I'd stick with what you already have installed.
Cool.
So assuming Pete and Jeff are on the same page is the basic advice to:
use the CC desktop app to monitor the update status of the remainder of my Adobe apps, and
simply keep an ear to the ground for any updates to LR and update LR from within the app itself (Help / Check for updates…)?
Jeff A Wright:
You can safely ignore the Adobe Application Manager at this point and use the Creative Cloud interface.  Also the normal Adobe icon will still be displayed for the time being when updates are available.  These will eventually be handled within the Creative Cloud application interface but I have seen the same Adobe icon on several of my upgraded computers already.
Jeff, was 'can safely ignore' intended to mean that I can choose to ignore AAM, or that I should ignore AAM? If an update is shown to be available via the AAM icon in OSX's menubar is a user meant to use AAM or CC desktop to update the apps? And if the update status of the 'production' apps is at odds in the 'management' apps (as it currently is on my computer) which should I trust?
Is AAM now simply an app which is intended to work in the background (and hence should I uncheck 'Notify me of new updates on the menu bar' setting in Preferences)? Is that is something that will happen down the road, but isn't ready yet?
Sorry for all the questions -- which I appreciate are veering a little into the academic rather than being strictly necessary (I can at least use my production apps at the moment) -- but I'm just surprised how confusing this all is. And I don't imagine I'm the only person who is confused.
The Creative Clud Desktop help page makes no mention of AAM, and the Install and Update Apps help page only seems to add to, rather than clear up, the confusion about how the two managment apps are meant to work together.

  • Application manager show that Acrobat X Pro is installed on my computer but it's not

    Application manager show that Acrobat X Pro is installed on my computer but it's not, what is the action to resolve this issue??

    Hi Cailloux1973,
    I would check to see if the uninstaller is available at
    Control Panel > Programs & Features or Add Remove Programs or Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    If you find and uninstaller run it.
    If the product is not listed there you might try the Acrobat cleaner tool from here

  • Why does Application Manager show that Lightroom 4.1 is installed when in fact it isn't?

    I attempted to install Lightroom 4.1 three times and it stopped on 99% installed each time.  Restarted Windows 7 and had the following results when I logged into the Application Manager.  I had installed Photoshop CS6 earlier than Lightroom and Muse after the attempts at Lightroom.  They both installed and launched correctly

    Are you on Creative Cloud? If so I suggest you ask on the CC forum.

  • 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!

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

  • How do I get Application Manager to recognize that Photoshop is not installed?

    Application Manager says that Photoshop CS6 is installed. It isn't. I've rebooted the Mac and it still says it's installed.  What installed was a partial or corrupt file which I have trashed. How do I get Application Manager to recognize that Photoshop is not installed so I can download and install it again?  Thanks.

    Do you have an uninstaller available to you in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder?  If so then please run the uninstaller.
    If you don't then please utilize the uninstallers available in this folder to remove all currently installed Adobe Creative Software.  You will then want to follow this by running the CS Cleaner tool.  You can find details on the use of the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

    Win 7 64bit
    I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed.  The active x widget says not player is installed.  It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
    How can I install the program?

    Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
    I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not.  I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    then download and run both installers from
    Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
    Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

  • Requires me to install programs that are already installed

    I keep trying to install Google voice but it keeps asking me to install it even days after I installed it. Same with the Netflix Microsoft Silverlight that is needed to play the instant queue. Why does it ask me to install programs that are already installed. I already uninstalled them and reinstalled them but that did not work either. PLEASE HELP!

    There's a new version 5.7.1.  If you click on install, it will install the new version in lieu of 5.7.

  • Creative Cloud application manager shows none of my installed apps

    I've searched through more threads in the community than I care to remember but I'm still none the wiser ... so here goes:
    I have a mix of CC apps installed (Encore CS6, Premiere CC, Photoshop CC & CC2014 and more) some for quite a while. Suddenly, a few days ago the CC apps manager decided that I have none installed. This is what I've tried so far (I'm on Win7 Ultimate 64-bit):
    1) Deleted the %AppData%/Local/Adobe/AAMUpdater directory. Didn't help
    2) Uninstalled and re-installed CC Desktop app. Instead of the Install button next to all the apps I now see Trial! A restart seemed to fix that but still it's pretending I have nothing installed
    3) Renamed the opm.db file in %AppData%/Local/Adobe/OOBE. No change even after another re-install of CC Desktop app.
    4) Quit the App Manager opened Illustrator CC 2014 and checked for Updates (this seems to fire up Adobe Application Manager but maybe not the full-blown CC desktop app, not sure).
    5) Uninstalled and re-installed the CC Desktop app. Before launching it I open Encore CS6 and check for updates. When I launch the CC desktop app it now decides that it wants to install Premiere Pro CS6 for me! I disagree and close the CC desktop app.
    6) I open a few more apps and check for updates. Re-open CC desktop and ... no installed app listed (but at least it doesn't try to install Premiere CS6 any more).
    I noticed one thing: when I check for updates from within an app and click on Preferences from within the Adobe Application Manager window it shows me the correct list of installed applications. So the information on what apps are installed are on my stystem somewhere. Somehow, this abomination of an app that is CC Desktop can't read it.
    I have read posts about the CC Cleaner tool. Don't even go there. Un-installing all my apps just to get CC desktop to work is putting the cart before the horse. Apart from the time and download allowance involved in that I also have no confidence that the CC desktop app will offer all the versions of apps other than the latest CC2014 releases. I still need Encore CS6 and I haven't tried all the 2014 versions yet on my existing projects, so I need to have the CC versions installed in parallel. After all, that was the whole point of the CC desktop app initially installed the latest release in addition of existing apps and not upgrading them.
    I apologise for the somewhat lengthy post but I'm hoping it may save time in the long run.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Many thanks

    Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

  • After update Application manager shows app as not installed

    Hi,
    I've installed almost all creative cloud apps since day one and everything is ok.
    But, after the last Adobe application manager update, I see "install" beside each app in application manager. I installed two apps after the update (lightroom and acrobat x) and these two are correctly displayed as "installed" (launch application button is now displayed).
    This is not a big issue for me, but I'm wondering if this affects the automatic updates procedure. If the updater checks which apps are installed, he knows that I installed also the other apps or it will check only for Lightroom and Acrobat x (the two marked as "installed" in app manager)?
    Thanks
    Andy

    I'm having the exact same issue, and was also concerned about whether it would affect it showing me updates for my "installed" programs.

  • My Adobe Application Manager shows that I didn't install anything

    But I already installed the things I wanted to. Today I just wanted to update my programs and then after the Application Manager updated itself it showed me that I only can install everything insteat of update.
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Thank you in advance

    Ok will please try reinstalling the Adobe Application Manager as previously discussed.  If that fails to work then at your convenience you will want to remove all Adobe Creative applications.  You would then want to follow this by using the CS Cleaner Tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  You should then be able to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager and reinstall your applications.
