CC Photoshop and Extensions Manager

CC Photosop and Extensions Manager update once or twice every day or whenever I restart my iMac. Is this usual or necessary?

Hi Mark
You say everything is up to date? And you have tried reinstalling all the CC apps? Is Windows also fully up to date? Hmmm... That could be tricky.
What version of Windows are you using? Have a look in Task Manager > Processes and see if 'CEPServiceManager.exe *32' is listed as running?
If not, I don't know where it would be installed from, and we'd need someone like Chris Cox to join the thread to tell us, but my guess is that it would install along with the CC Desktop Application Manager. Windows 8.1 can be problematic, and a bit fussy about the order of things, and it is definitely worth adopting best practice when installing your CC apps. That means restarting your computer, and right clicking the Desktop Application manager and running as Administrator.
How many CC apps are you running? If just Photoshop, Bridge, Expansion manager etc. then - and I hate to say this - perhaps have another go at reinstalling, but run the Cleaning tool after uninstalling.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Try some other Extensions before the Tony Kuyper's TKActionv3. GuideGuide is a favourite of mine, as well as Dmonzon tools, and maybe Russell Brown's Flypaper Textures.
I have to say that I have had problems with the CC Extension Manager a while back, but simply reinstalling just the Extension Manager fixed it. Perhaps CEPServiceManager.exe *32 installs with Extension Manager? Heck, maybe start with just trying that before reinstalling all your CC apps.
If you are still stuck, I'd risk sending Chris Cox a PM, but not until you triple check that your video card driver is up to date from the card maker's website.
Good luck, and be sure to let us know how you get on.

Photoshop CS6 Extension Manager Upgrade

Tried to install the upgrade for Photoshop CS6 Extension Manager and keeping the same Error Message: U44M1P7. What does this mean?

It means that the updater is having a bad day . Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall all your apps, then try to update again. These issues occur due to some updates locking stuff or flagging the pertinent entries in teh various databses and config files wrongly.

In this log file I can see you are getting Error : U44M1P7 while updating the software
This Error comes where language packs for software are not installed properly on the machine.
I would suggest to update Adobe Application manager from
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
then try to install the update if still you are not able to update software and getting same error then uninstall all the Adobe software selecting remove prefernces.
After uninstalling the software run the Adobe Cleaner tool(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and remove the leftovers.

Dreamweaver CS4, OS X 10.6, and Extension Manager 2.1.115

...they absolutely hate each other.
None...NONE...of my extensions work now. I can 'install' them with EM but the moment DW is started they not only show up, but when I returned to EM, they are (if EM was closed) no longer open, or (if EM was still open), there but not showing up in DW. I'm told (obviously) that I must restart DW. I do this, but still nothing; the extension(s) are not appearing anywhere.
If tried everything I can think of having searched multiple threads all over the place.
It seems to be an issue between OS X 10.6 and Extension Manager.
Anyone experiencing the same? Anyone find a solution??

Well you probably don't want to hear this, but until a lot of these bugs and incompatibilities get worked out it would be best to go back to what worked first, your old system. If its a production machine I would not upgrade until at least 3 or 4 updates had been released. If you just want to test use your second activation on a second drive and have the new OS loaded seeing how everything works until you are confident that you can install the new OS on your production machine.

Creative Cloud desktop app unresponsive and extension manager not downloading

I uninstalled Acrobat pro from my computer so I could install the newer version and now my creative cloud app is stuck on spinning circle when I try to go to the applications. I can't uninstall the craetive cloud desk app to reinstall it as it says the applications on my computer wont allow it. Also,I have tried to download the new extension manager cc and it says downloading and nothing is happening. It isn't downloading. Any suggestions?

Zfire45, Lets Quit Creative Cloud desktop app and follow Solution 2 mentioned under the below article.

Re-launch CC desktop app and check if it works fine now.

How to uninstall old versions of CS3, CS4, CS5 of Bridge, Device Central, and Extension Manager

I have the following files:
Adobe Bridge CS3
Adobe Bridge CS4
Adobe Bridge CS5.1
Adobe Device Central CS3
Adobe Device Central CS4
Adobe Device Central CS5
Adobe Device Central CS5.5
Adobe Extension Manager CS4
Adobe Extension Manager CS5
Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5
I want to delete the old versions of these files, but Adobe says I need to use the installers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers, but there are no relevant files in that folder. Any ideas on how to do this properly on a Mac.

That is correct Dancingjewel. Migrating/transferring/copying Adobe applications is not supported and often leads to unexpected behavior. To resolve this you will want to attempt to completely remove the current installations utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool and then reinstall. If you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Other downloads.

Fireworks and Extension Manager don't see each other

I have Fireworks CS5 Version 11.0.0.484.
I have Extension Manager CS5.5 Version 5.5.163.
All this on OSX Snow Leopard.
Fireworks isn't listed in Extension Manager.
From within Fireworks, when I go to Commands -> Manage Extensions..., nothing happens.
When I double-click on an MXP file containing a Fireworks extension, I get "This extension cannot be installed, it requires Fireworks version 9 or greater."
What are the troubleshooting steps I should follow?

Your version of the Extension Manager should match the version of the product you are extending. You have to install Extension Manager CS5 to manage extensions for Fireworks CS5. Please go to http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/em50_download.html to download and install Extension Manager CS5.

CS Extensions and Extension Manager

Someone please tell me I'm wrong...
1) CS Extensions can only be installed using the Extension Manger.
2) As is apparent from this screen shot, it is possible to disable the installation of Extension Manager:
Putting these two facts together spells trouble. I might be creating installers that will not work because a user might not have Extension Manager, and there's no way around that...
If Extension Manager was made mandatory for CS Extensions, the installation of Extension Manager should be mandatory as well...
Also, is there more than one location where Extension Manager might be installed (if it is...)?
Harbs

Harbs,
There is a checkbox in the Export Wizard, when it is checked, the zxp
(file format used by Extension Manager) will be unpacked into the
same export directory where you pick for zxp export. The extension in
the unpacked folder is signed and is ready to be copied to the
extension folder for release deployment. So you should be able to
incorporate that to your
own installer (or installation process)
thanks!

CS5 and extensions manager

I am using CS5 and I cannot get the extensions manager to work I need it for a 3rd party extension. Is there a fix for this ?

Please provide more details about your problem. What issue have you experienced? EM crashed during launch? EM can't list your installed products? EM failed to install the extension? Are you using Windows or Mac? OS version? EM version (5.0.x.xxx)? ...

Photoshop CC2014 Extension Managerが認識しない

こんにちは。
Adobe Extension Manager CCについて質問させていただきます。
現在、私はPhotoshop CC 2014体験版を使用しています。プラグインを使いたくて、Adobe Extension Manager CCをインストールしました。そして、Extension Managerを開いて、プラグインをインストールしようとしたのですが「拡張機能がサポートする製品をExtension Managerが認識していることを確認してください。」とエラーメッセージが表示されました。つまり、Extension ManagerがPhotoshopを認識しておらず、プラグインをインストールできません。
この問題を解決する方法を教えてください。
よろしくお願い致します。

yo42miさん
おはようございます。
私はExtensionをあまり利用しないので予想にはなってしまうのですが、
単純にPhotoshopを再インストールしてみてはどうでしょう？
認識されていないか、何かの拍子にPhotoshopのスクリプトが無くなってしまってそうなっているのか・・・予想にはなってしまいますが、
うまく行く可能性はあるかと思われます！

Adobe Bridge and Extension Manager missing products

I installed Production Premium, yet Adobe Bridge will not preview After Effects Presets. When selecting Manage Extensions, the Adobe Extension Manager does not show After Effects as a product.
How can I fix this?

Nevermind :-) Fix this moments later. I had noticed After Effects would start with an error about quick time not being installed. (new OS). After I installed that it works fine. I guess Bridge uses Quicktime to preview the presets because after restarting bridge it works fine.
Thanks

Photoshop CS6 Extension manager 6.0.4 does not install

I am running a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5 and I tried to update extensiion manager 6.0.4 and received an error message, U44M1P7, and the update would not install. This happened twice and after the first time, I did repair disk preferences.
Does anyone know what this means? Is this an essential update to Photoshop CS6? Thank you.

Download and install the updates manually.
Go to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates and download the update that you are trying to install.

Upgraded to Yosemite, can't get an Extension manager that works with CS5

I am suing the CS5 suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, etc
Am trying to add some plugins to Photoshop and Extension Manager CS5.5 just crashes every time. Tried upgrading to EMCC and it won't open the extensions. It tells me I am need at least Photoshop 12.0. I thought CS5 was a later version.
I can't afford to upgrade when the suite works perfectly for me.
How do I get EM to work with the extensions I need?
The plug-ins I need are located here:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Photoshop CS5 Optional Plug-Ins (Mac)

Each version of Extension Manager only supports the corresponding verison of CS products. To install extensions for CS5 suite, you can only use Extension Manager CS5. Extension Manager CS5.5 or CC wouldn't work. But you have to download and install 5.0.3 update from Adobe Extension Manager Updates Downloads .
