CS6 Bridge doesn't run, nor does Application Manager

After just installing CS6, when I try to run the Application Manger it 'updates' itself and then says it fails to install. Also when I try to launch Bridge, either on its own or in any of the other programs, it does not run. Everything else seems to be OK.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
I hope my "fix" is of help:
During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

Update Failed - You are already running the Adobe Application Manager....

I'm on Mac OS 10.8.4. When I try to update InDesign CC to the latest version, the Adobe Application Manager launches and give me the following error:
Update Failed
Updates could not be applied
You are already running the Adobe Application Manager. Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates.
So, I quit the AAM, verify that it's not running in Activity Monitor and relaunch it... to get the same error message. I haven't found a solution online, so I'm hoping someone can help me get past this.

Rfahl have you tried rebooting and then applying the update again? If so, and you still receive the same error, then you may want to try installing the update in Safe Boot mode. You can find more details for starting up in Safe Boot at OS X Lion: Start up in safe mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373.

Can not update- message says you are already running the adobe application manager - but it is not open

I'm trying to update Indesign and Photoshop. I get a message saying that the Updates could not be applied - you are already running the Adobe Application Manager - but I have closed everything. It may be related to the fact that today, about every 2 minutes, Adobe Creative Cloud Connection pops up. I have closed it numerous times, but it continues to open.

Terminate the process(es) in Task Manager/ Activity Monitor.

CS6/Bridge doesn't use GPU on Nvidia Optimus machines

Photoshop CS6/Bridge
Win8.1 64bit/Nvidia GTX 870M
Is there a way to force Adobe Bridge to using the Nvidia GPU rather than “software rendering”?
The problem: Starting Bridge on notebooks with the Nvidia Optimus (I tested several) in “preferences -advanced”, the option, “use software rendering”, is not tagged which is correct.
But as soon as I open an image and recheck with the preferences, “use software rendering” is tagged and greyed out, hence zooming and all other manipulations suffer from a lack of speed and smoothness, slide-show for ex. is not usable at all.
I’m familiar with the Nvidia control panel and of course the Nvidia GPU is assigned to Bridge.exe there.
Strange enough, in the registry, the Bridge – preferences value for “use software rendering” always stays on “0”, which is correct.
BTW. Photoshop is running fine on the Nvidia GPU.
It is a shame that Bridge performs a lot better on a 6 years old laptop than on a brand new high end gaming machine only because there is Optimus on board.
Does anybody have an idea for a workaround?

Is there any insight here? I can't seem to get my brand new work y70 to use the NVidia graphics card for any external displays! What the heck is going on!? And, moreso, why can't even the crummy Intel onboard graphics push 2560 x 1600 via either HDMI or USB (through a replicator)? I've had a 30" monitor running 2560 x 1600 for 5 years. This is a brand new laptop and can't push out high res?! It's crazy to me!! EDIT: I presently have the Intel display adapter disabled in the device manager. I have video on the laptop display but I can no longer get ANY external displays to work. Which means, to me, it would seem that the NVidia GPU is 100% relegated to the laptop display, ONLY.

Why does application manager only shows me CS6 version of the apps? How do install the CC versions?

Everything in the Adobe site leads me to believe that the CC versions of the aplications are the current versions, however, when I open application manager, I only see the CS6 versions. Do I have to uninstall something and then reinstal? What do I do to install the CC versions?

The Creative Cloud versions will not be available until June 17th. Please see the following related discussions.

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.

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

Why does Application Manager show up in Japanese?

I have been having problems with the Application Manager always showing up in Japanaese making it very hard for this English speaker to figure out what I'm trying to download. I have tried re-installing the software to no avail.
This is on a MacBook Air running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Any thoughts on how to fix this so that I can download applications?

Does Application Management Pack (for E-Business) need a separate license?

Hi, I am licensed for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Release 1 Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0.
Now I want to add Application Management Pack for E-Business R11i and R12. Do I need to purchase a new license?
From my existing installation there is a link About OEM -> ... License Information; I don't see any entry for E-Business Suite management.
Thanks,

Yes, you need to license Application Management Suite for E-Business Suite to cover the EBS management functionality. In both EM 11g and EM 12c, you need to download the plug-in for EBS. In the case of EM 12c, you can simply use the self-update feature to quickly get the EBS plug-in. For 11g, you will have to get it via e-Delivery.
Here is the OTN home page for packaged application management where you can find details and self-running demos of the EBS management functionality:

Why does Application Manager keep telling me to install Edge Animate?

Every time I launch the Adobe Application Manager, it tells me I have to install Edge Animate, even though I have the most updated version, every other application just says "Up to date".

So that's correct, If you have the most updated apps, It should say "Up to Date".

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

Element's 6.0's Bridge doesn't open anymore - says application "unexpectedly quit"

Hello. I purchased my MacBook Pro in late September, and purchased and installed Elements 6.0 for Mac.
Elements and Bridge were both working fine until late October, when one evening its Bridge CS3 application suddenly froze, so I had to force-quit it, and now every time I try to open Bridge I instead get this message:
"The application Bridge CS3 has unexpectedly quit."
I posted this question in the Elements forum, where I was advised to launch the updater from PSE Help Menu -> Updates, which I did, getting the message that there were "no updates available."
I was also advised to reset my Adobe Bridge preference files (by pressing and holding in the Option key as I launched Bridge), which I did but that didn't work either. I still get the same error message whenever I try to open Bridge, which I have been unable to open since October.
I was further advised to ask in this forum, to see if anyone could help me trying to solve this problem.
I will appreciate some advice on this. Thanks.

As I'm not familiar with Bridge version for elements it might have the same
places were it stores cache and plist file.
First try to delete the Bridge list file (user/library/preference) and in
here find adobeBridge plist file and drag this to the trash. (it will renew
itself with a fresh new file after restarting Bridge).
Restart Bridge holding down option and try again.
If not then close ridge again and in same user library but now cache folder
find the cache folder for Bridge (can be a very large file when having used
much files). (user/library/caches/Adobe/BridgeCS3 and inhere place the
cachefile outside the library (or drag it to the trash)
With this action you will need to recache all your previous cached files but
together with plist file and refresh prefs you have an almost new install
for Bridge.
Bridge CS3 is not the best version for bridge to say the least, I often used
this method (once every 5 or 6 weeks) because it had very much issues which
I solved with those actions. CS4 is more stable and faster, but you need to
upgrade and that is not for free...
I was further advised to ask in this forum, to see if anyone could help me
trying to solve this problem.
I will appreciate some advice on this. Thanks.

TS1702 CNBC for Ipad crashes on opening, every time. I have deleted and reinstalled it 3 times. Opening and closing the app doesn't help, nor does restarting the Ipad. What to do..??

Subject:

Try quitting EVERY app in the task bar, restart and then try the app again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
A personal observation ....
I am of the belief that some apps will just not run on my iPad. I have two apps that I have given up on. They were free apps and neither is that big of a deal. I have tried everything that I could think of to get them to work and nothing fixed the situation.
What I am saying is - and you may not like the answer - if you can't get the app to work, just let it go. Find another news app that works for you, or log onto CNBC via a web browser if you have to.
That doesn't mean that you should give up now, I just mean don't drive yourself batty trying to get a non essential news app to work. That is merely my opinion based on my own experiences with apps that gave me grief!

I have a single song that is on my iPod Classic 7 but the artist does not appear and under "artists" in the music it doesn't appear, nor does it in albums. All the information on the song is correct the artist just will not appear. Why is this?

All the information is correct and filled correctly, I have chacked seven times, but it still will not appear, why?

Any funny characters in the artist or album names? I take it that it is not hiding for the reasons given in Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist? Sort fields can sometimes cause items to be listed in a different place within the list. Can you find it using search on the device?
