Application Manager vs. Updates

I recently loaded CS5 Photoshop (upgrade from CS3 to 64 bit; Win 7). Notified there is an update available. Update stalls - Application Mgr says: "Please close the following application to continue--Adobe Bridge CS5 (Bridge.exe"). Only problem is that Bridge isn't open. Got similar message when I tried to remove CS3 Photoshop.

This might be already obvious, but in case it's not -- did you make sure that there isn't a piece of Bridge still
residing in memory? Ctrl-Shift-Escape brings up the Task Manager,
and you might see Bridge in the Processes tab, even
if it's not in the Applications tab.

  • Adobe Application Manager indicates updates avail. -- attempts to download result in 'There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.' - pls advise!

    I have a Windows PC - OS: Win 7 Home Premium, SP1
    I recently had to have my hard drive replaced and, as result, had to reinstall the Adobe products I own: Acrobat 10, Premiere Elements & Photoshop 9
    I assume as part of reinstalling the software the Adobe Application Manager was installed as well - regardless, it indicates 'updates are available' -- however when I open the updater I am receiving the error message:
    'There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later'
    The full message is as follows:
    'Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.5 Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
    Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.'
    Please advise!! thank you kindly
    (secondary problem: whenever I open Elements or Photoshop and I am asked to log in with my Adobe ID, I get the error message 'Error. Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connections. Error 400'. Now I know photoshop.com was replaced with Revel - but why is it consistently giving me the same error message? shouldn't it be updated by now or, specifically, is this indicative of a different problem when I attempt to login with my Adobe ID??)
    thank you so much for any help provided!!

    I don't know why you are getting these errors.  Try downloading & installing the updates manually from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html

  • Adobe Application Manager says Update Failed and the patch is not applicable for me. PLEASE HELP!

    As the title said, that's my dilemma. I have the OS X Yosemite update (worst mistake of my life) on the iMac. Photoshop CS6 was acting much slower and crashed a couple of times, so I tried to update it. However the Adobe Application Manager was uncooperative and said that the update failed. If there are any other things you need to know in order to fix the problem, tell me. Just please, please HELP ME.

    which update are you trying to install? What is the current version you have?

  • Application Manager nach Update nicht funktionsfähig

    Hallo,
    nach Aufruf des Application Managers (Zweck: Update Photoshop von CS6 nach CC) unter Mac OS X 10.8.3 kam die Meldung: Update erforderlich.
    Das Update dauerte ewig, irgendwann war es beendet. Seitdem befindet sich auf dem Application Manager Symbol ein großes Fragezeichen und ich kann ihn nicht mehr aufrufen!
    Was tun?
    MfG
    WV

    Ja wie gesagt es hat davor auch ohne Probleme Funktioniert nur war ich gezwungen das System neu zu Installieren und ab dann konnte ich die da oben genannten Updates nicht mehr Installieren. Ein Mac ist zwar eine schöne Sache kommt aber für mich nie in Frage da ich mein PC als Arbeitsrechner und Gamer Rechner nutze und das meiste läuft halt nicht auf einen Mac und man müsste manche Programme neu Kaufen, das sehe ich überhaupt nicht ein, und meine Anwendungen werden aus Prinzipien nicht für Apple Produkte entwickelt da verdient man kaum etwas... aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. An eine neue Version habe ich eventuell nächstes Jahr gedacht aber auch nur die CS6 ob man das brauch ist die Frage da CS 5 genau macht was es soll. Das Modell mit der Adobe Cloud hat zwar denn Vorteil das die Programme Aktuell sind aber man muss Monatlich dafür Zahlen und CS5/CS6 oder älter brauch man nur einmal Kaufen. Darüber hinaus finde ich eh das Adobe so eine richtige S*** ist wenn es um Support ältere Programme geht so zeigt Adobe meiner Meinung nach das Ihre Produkte nichts wert sind zumindest macht es den Anschein. Aber wie gesagt, bin ich hier um Hilfe zu bekommen um das Problem zu lösen ohne ein neue Version zu kaufen, das ist ja bekanntlich die einfachste Lösung, aber wenn Informatiker auch so denken würden dann würde es sehr schlecht aussehen... und als Anmerkung am Rande, es wäre ja nett wenn man mir denn Link dieser Updates zukommen lassen könnte um die Updates Manuell zu Installieren.
    "Aber wie sollen wir denn Programme testen auf Hardware und OS, die es erst in ein paar Jahren geben wird."
    Dies kann man in voraus natürlich nicht aber in nachhinein geht das und Software Entwickler denn etwas an Ihre Produkte liegt, machen das nachhinein auch und passen gegebenenfalls Ihr Produkt an.
    PS: CS 2 läuft ebenfalls auf einem Windows 8.1 rechner ;-)

  • My updates are failing.  Adobe application manager may be damaged.  I have downloaded and installed a new copy and the problem persists.   Please help.

    I am trying to update Photoshop CS6 in order to read my camera's RAW files.  It is a camera that is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS6.  However, when I try to get the Adobe Application Manager to update the software, it fails to do so.  (The spinning wheel tells me it is checking for updates and then quits, saying that "Update Failed - Updates could not be applied.  Adobe Application Manager may be damaged.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.")
    I have tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager 8.0, which gives me the following error message "We've encountered the following issues.  Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  However, when I go to the link provided to download the Adobe Support Advisor, this piece of software NO LONGER EXISTS. "
    The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued
    The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
    So, I have gone to the forums and took the recommended step to update my software manually - getting the update Photoshop_CS6_13_0_6upd-2.dmg.  However, this update also fails stating that my Adobe Application Manager may be damages.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.  Which puts me right back where I started.  
    I have also taken the step of completely reinstalling Photoshop CS6.  This did not solve the problems outlined above.  
    Please help!

  • Failed installation: How to rerun Adobe Application Manager updates for Photoshop CS6

    Hi.
    The installation of  Adobe Extension Manager CS6 failed - while 2 others update for Photoshop CS6 did intall. I was installing Adobe Reader X .
    That's why I discovered the notication from the application manager about updates for CS6 - and I just confirmed that as well.
    Apparently the Reader installation blocked only the update installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 - saying another installation process was running ... such stuff happens sometimes.
    However, it seems Adobes Application Manager update module does not track its failed installations? It does not automatically advertise that update has not been installed and notifiying me again to install it. At least not immediately ...
    So how do I rerun the Adobe Application Manager update moduel to check for updates manually?

    You go Photoshop CS6 > Help > Updates ...

  • Error code updating Adobe Application Manager

    How do I get Adobe Application Manager to update, it either fails or I get Error code A12E1

    Hi pawphoto,
    Open Activity Monitor on Mac (It's the the Utilities folder in Applications)/ Task Manager on Windows
    Look for "AAM Updates Notifier" in the list of processes (sorting by process name helps)
    Highlight it and then click on "Quit Process" or "End Process", say yes to the warning
    Quit Actiivty Manger/ Task Manager
    Retry the install
    Hope this helps.
    Please let me know if you face any problem.

  • Updating Application Manager Applications Pop Up Notice:

    This morning I received a pop up message stating that “Adobe applications were ready for update. Open Application Manager to update applications”. I did so, I had to sign in with account information and then nothing happened. I wasn't aware of any updating, there was no downloading process, or account updated notice or anything to signify that this was actually happening. Please explain this notification and the process that occurs once I launch the Application Manager. Thank you.

  • Need to Prevent Adobe Application Manager for upgrading to Creative Cloud

    I have successfully packaged Dreamweaver CS5&CS5.5 via Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition v2.1 and after a successfully deployed via SCCM Dreamweaver runs perfect. Unfortunatly upon the first launch of the icon on the desktop of "Adobe Application Manager" it's self upgrading to Creative Cloud.  This is a problem.  In this enterprise deployment I have updates set to manual and my AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat is set to the below which should be preventing this to my understanding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Preferences> <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> </Preferences>

    Thank you for getting back to me, currently my work around
    is to have the deployment delete the two “Adobe Application Manager.lnk”
    icons from both the desktop and the start menu for each OS version.  Not
    exactly how I would like to have to do it however my
    “AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat” does not seem to block Adobe Application
    Manager from updating.

  • Adobe Application Manager - Always Failing

    I have CS5 Extended and CS6 Extended, but - what they call
    "Adobe Application Manager"  (and i must call rubbish) - always fails
    to install any updates after downloading them.
    I have tried few times, and would suggest to Adobe: to stop being
    embarrassed this way, and re-write the manager that really does the job.
    It's clear that this "manager" part of so great CS software now is:
    undoing all that good.
    And - it's constantly giving you the warnings as this - not even true to what is going on
    (in this case i am NOT running the manager already, and here is one of many wrong warnings,
    before it fails to install any updates (again and again) - this is just one sample i've made today:
    Michael.
    =============

    1. You can open your Finder and navigate to Extension Manager CS6( "/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS6" ), and drag it to Trash.
    2. Then download and install Extension Manager 6.0.4 full installer from
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/dw_exchange/extension_manager/mac/A dobeExtensionManager6.0.4All.dmg
    3. After that, ignore the update message that "Extension Manager 6.0.4 is available".
    Try installing the updates.
    also uninstall & re install the adobe application manager.
    try updating the program.
    If still doesnt help then download & install the updates manually.

  • Adobe application manager no longer opens.

    I've seen lots of posts about how peoples manager stopped working but when I read the post its about how it wont download. My is down loaded and has worked fine up till a month ago. Now I get icons on my PC that says I have updates and to launch my application manger but it wont open. I tried to uninstall and download again but my PC says I first have to close my desktop application manger. If I could open it I wouldn't need to remove it and try again.

  • Why won't application manager install

    Just purchased Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 13 and installed OK but when opening the programme I get an erro message telling me to download Application Manager. Having done this and clicking the "run" option to set it up I get an error message saying it "failed to initialise" and to dowwnload Adobe Support Advisor which no longer exists - haen't a clue where to go from here - can anybody advise?

    Hi,
    The error message saying it "failed to initialize" appears when you try to install the products.
    It might be possible that your products have downloaded correctly but you are not able to initialize set-up.exe.
    Either the Setups(for PSE13 and PRE13) you have downloaded are corrupted or Adobe Application Manager on your machine is corrupted.
    1.Try downloading the setups again from :
    Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 | Adobe
    Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Premiere Elements 13 | Adobe
    2.If the problem still persists please download and update Adobe Application manager on your machine and then run Setup.exe
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
    Please update with the results.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Application Manager CC not working after last update

    Last night I avrived home and sat down to work on my website and other side projects after a long day at work.  I opened my application manager and it notified me that it had an update.  So naturally I agreed and was excited to see the new upgrade.  Sadly after a couple hours of trying to figure things out on to why I wasn't able to access my Adobe Muse and Adobe Application manager after the update I had to give up.   I was online with tech support about the issue and was given a link to download the application manager yet again (this would have been my 3rd attempt to do so, and the link that was given to me was outdated).  After finding out that this was going to take longer than I had hoped asked if the teck support could help me resolve the Muse issue.  I was told that I'd be transfered to the Muse support and never was after an hour or so.
    I'm now still stuck not being able to use muse (after a couple re-installs) and not able to use my application manager. 
    Currently when I lunch my application manager my backgound decktop goes black and the application manager pops up and is white with no options to choose and shows nothing.  When I try to use Muse  it askes me to log in, and then gives me an error message asking me to please try again later....
    Can anyone help, has anyone had this issue before??
