Can't Get ACR Updates for PS CS6

My computer is a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with 8GB of memory.  My problem is I don't seem to be able to get any of the Adobe Camera Raw updates for Photoshop CS6 (perpetual license).  It's stuck at ACR 8.1.  I also can't get the last update to the PS CS6 application (13.0.1.3).  As you can see from the screen capture of Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application, it says I have Photoshop CC and Photoshop CS6 and says all applications are up to date.  This is not the case as I have stated above.  ACR should be at 8.4 and it's at 8.1.
If I open PS CS6 and go to Help > Updates... I get the message that all applications are up to date.
If I click on Preferences, it says "Only show updates for the following products" and there are no options to show updates for any CS6 products.  Again, this display came from the Help menu in PS CS6.  Why doesn't it show an option to check for updates to CS6?  My PS CS6 application was a perpetual license purchase and wasn't converted to a Creative Cloud application.
I have been following several threads at this forum and the Photoshop forum that discuss problems similar to mine but have not found a solution.  I followed a link in one of the responses to a download for ACR 8.4 for PS CS6 on Windows and thought I could do a manual installation.  Instead, I got the following message that the update failed because "This patch is not applicable to you."  I got the same message when I tried to manually install the Photoshop CS6 update to 13.0.1.3.
I would like to keep my PS CS6 (perpetual license) up to date, but I don't know what to do now and am hopeful someone in this community can help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Chas

Thank you very much, ssprengel, for this very helpful information.  It never occurred to me that the camera and lens information was stored in a common location shared by both CC and CS6.  Also, thanks again to Michelle for her useful reply as I did not know that the same ACR file could be used for both PS CC and PS CS6.
Although, I still don't know why my PS CS6 won't update properly or why the manual installers refused to run, you two have provided a satisfactory work around to keep ACR for CS6 up to date.
I'm sorry I can only mark one answer as correct and both you and Michelle's answers were very helpful.  I marked Michelle's reply as correct because it let me know that I could copy the CC ACR file into the correct CS6 folder.
Thanks,
Chuck

  • Where can I get map updates for my NV-u44?

    My friend gave me a NV-U44 gps. Where can I get map updates for it?

    Hello Hawkhero,
    Welcome to the Sony Community.
    Currently there is no map update available for NV-U44. However, there is a firmware update available for your nav-u unit. Although the firmware update does not provide additional map data, it may improve the route quality of your map in certain situations. The firmware update is available from the Sony® Support Web Site.

    It means that Apple is no longer producing the iPad 3rd generation....they are no longer making that version. The iPad 4 and the Mini iPad will both be running iOS 6 just like the iPad 3 is running (if you have updated) and there is no reason to believe that the iPad 3 will not be supported with software updates for some time to come.
    So yes - you will be able to get software updates for the iPad 3 in the future.

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

    How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

  • How can we get incremental updates for Acrobat Pro 9

    We have VLK for Acrobat Pro 9 and the only version that doesn't crash Office 2007 Professional Publisher is 9.4.6.  I can't get just that update to install it jumps from 9.2 to 9.5.  9.5 falls into a loop for prompting for saving information.
    Thanks!

    You get the updates by going to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows for Windows. There is a similar page for a MAC.

  • How do I get ACR plugin for PS CS6?

    I am running windows, but I can't see the ACR plugin listed from within CS6 Extended.
    Can anyone help please.

    Jim,
    That's the problem....when I go to Help>about plugins, Camera Raw is not shown on the list (only CompuServe GIF; Embed Watermark; Filter Gallery; Open EXR and Read Watermark are listed).
    However I do have the latest ACR on my laptop as downloaded from Adobe.com.....and I can open it up directly. Its when I try and open a RAW file from CS6 it then says not the right document?
    Also Help>Updates is greyed out and cannot be selected?

  • I have just purchased Dreamweaver CS6 and believe I should have gotten Dreamweaver CC.  Can I get a refund for the CS6?

    I purchased CS6 thinking I was getting the latest and greatest.  In viewing the "Getting Started" videos, like so many others, I discovered the "insert Structure" feature was only available on CC.  (I imagine the video of that feature is a masterful marketing tool for CC.)  Like someone else in the Forum I did not want to pay $50 a monthfor Dreamweaver.  But in the Forum I learned that Dreamweaver CC was available for $20 a month.  Now I would like to upgrade to CC but do not want to toss out my purchase price for CS6. What can I do?

    Hi,
    Please find the direct link to download the CS6 software: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html . Kindly follow the very important instructions mentioned.

  • How can you get apple updates for apple like windows updates?

    where does apple gets its updates

    By default, Software Update will automatically check for updates on a regular basis.
    You can adjust what those settings are. To do that, choose System Preferences in the Apple menu; in the new window, click the icon for Software Update. The window will change to reflect the current settings for Software Update -
    You can change those settings if you wish.
    Note the selection button for "Installed Software" near the top of that window - if you click that, it will display a list of all software updates that have been installed.

    Heidi,
    Suggest that you purchase PSE v.13. The software is on sale from time to time at box stores and at Amazon.
    Here is their price today:
    Amazon.com: photoshop elements: Software
    Note that the boxed version is for WIN+MAC!
    Investigate whether or not your machine meets the system requirements.
    Good luck!
