Do I need adobe application manager? and what does it do? can i uninstall it on Mac OS X Mavericks?

The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

I want to download whatever updates I need for Photoshop CS5. I try using Adobe Application manager and it isnt working.

I want to download whatever updates I need for Photoshop CS5. I am using Adobe Application Manager and there are updates but they arnt going through. It has been awhile since I tried. Dont remember when the last time was. But my Mac Book Pro is in good shape and I am finally getting around to this. didnt expect it not to work. Help?

Hi Richei Creative,
These would be my suggestions:
Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
Instructions if you need them - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
Hope these help,

In Windows 7 I mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and all applications (CS3E, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from programs on the start menu

WIN7: Mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and now all Adobe apps (CS3, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from the programs list in the start up menu.
CS5 Bridge is still there so I can get into the photo editor to de-activate it and re-install.
However, all of CS3 has disappeared so I cannot get into it to de-activate.
Question 1: Will downloading and re-installing Adobe Application manager get CS3 automatically back?
Question 2: If not, what to do to get CS3 back things working properly again? Remember, I can't de-activate it.
Thanks and have a happy day!

Don't worry about activation unless you are installing on a new and different machine. Simply reinstall in order. It should all work.
Then install any updates. Product updates
After that, let me know how it went and if there are any further questions.

There is also an icon for applciation manger in my launchpad. Don't want to clutter up my new computer if I don't need this.

Photoshop CS6 - Problem - Do I need Adobe Application Manager?

I just installed Photoshop CS6 - a fresh, new install, i.e. no previous CS version installed.
Accidentally I clicked on Adobe Application Manager in Start and got the below.
Right now, I only have a clean desktop - no taskbar and need to use the taskmgr (ctrl-alt-del) to bring up my webbrowser or any other program that was and is still running.
Luckely I made a Windows image just before installing CS6 so I will restore that image and will start all over.
Now, I donot need creative cloud, also I don't know what this 'Application Manager' is being used for.
Question: how to avoid similar issues? Is this application manager necessary?
Thanks!

Adobe Application Manager and DPS Tools 2.0.3 Update

Hello,
I am using Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition 3.1 in order to push the CS6 Suite and Updates to our computer systems. It has so far been working great, with one exception: The DPS Tools 2.0.3 Update does not show up in the updater engine on the Mac version of the software. When I attempted to download manually and create the the .pkg to push it through Apple Remote Desktop, the manual package creation gives an error message stating that this update is not compatible with the installation.
On the Windows version of this tool, the update shows up and I have been able to deploy the update.
I need to deploy this update to the Mac systems, and need to get an answer on how to create the pkg file from the dmg that is downloadable from the adobe Downloads or how to allow the update to be seen from this tool on the Mac Version.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
- Chuck Crabtree

Chuck,
Unfortunately it lookslike AAMEE deployments are blocked on iOS due to an AIR installation issue We've opened a bug on our end to try and work around that installation issue. It's too late for it to make it into the v23 release, but we'll look at it for v24.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
Neil

Adobe Application Manager and Photoshop Elements 11 Update stopped working

and then I tried to find a adobe application manager om Adobes download site, but I got Creative Cloud. And I can't see, what I can use this for, as I have purchased a DVD with Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
Anybody knows how to get the Adobe Application Manager alone?
I use my products on a win 8 computer

Problems with TCS3, Adobe Application Manager, and Acrobat X

I have to deploy Technical Communications Suite 3 to a group of 20 people with a volume license key. In order to avoid giving 20 people in the company a volume key, I'm using the Adobe Application Manager to build a distributable silent installer for this delivery. The problem is that when you use the Adobe Application Manager to create the build, Adobe Acrobat Professional X (which is part of the package) is not an installable option, nor is it actually installed as seen in the attached screenshot
However, if I just launch the installer by double-clicking Set-up.exe from the downloaded media directory, I do get the option to add Acrobat X.
Finally, if I drill into the installation media folder, "...\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3\payloads\AcrobatProfessional10.0-EFG" there is a .msi which is for Acrobat X, but when launched, the product key I was provided for Technical Communications Suite 3 does not work. The key works just fine to install the entire suite, but not Acrobat X by itself.
Has anyone else had any luck creating a silent install for TCS3? I called support and reproduced the problem for them, but they had no answer.
Just for the record, I have found this exact same behavior with all the Adobe Suites which are supposed to get Acrobat.

This is true that Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition currently does not support silently deploying Acrobat alongwith TCS3. However, you do not need a separate license key for Acrobat.
Pls follow the below mentioned steps to silently install TCS 3 with Acrobat:
1) Uninstall TCS3 (including Acrobat) from your machine, if already present. Make sure all products are uninstalled succesfully.
2) Create a serialized package for TCS 3 using the AAMEE tool
3) Run the silent installation command for TCS3
4) Goto the Exceptions folder inside the TCS 3 package and open ExceptionInfo.txt. This has information of all the products that this package will not install. Look for the command to install Acrobat X Pro. For your reference, I am mentioning it here,
msiexec.exe /i AcroPro.msi EULA_ACCEPT=NO REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES SUITEMODE=1 TRANSFORMS=en_US.mst INSTALLLEVEL=101 AS_DISABLE_LEGACY_COLOR=1 IGNOREAAM=1 /qn
5) Install Acrobat silently using this command
6) Launch any product installed through TCS ( FrameMaker or RoboHelp) and verify that its activated (Help->Deactivate menu should be enabled)
7) Now launch Acrobat. You will see that Acrobat automatically picks up TCS 3 license present in the machine and gets serialized. You do not need any other serial number.
Hope that helps,

Adobe Application Manager and other Installers All Messed up

I have a Mac Pro running 10.5.8 and CS5 Design Premium. Today I noticed 3 new updates: Bridge 4.0.2, Camera Raw 6.1, and a Flash thing. I ran the update using Adobe Application Manager (AAM). It failed on all three. I tried every way I could find to re-install AAM including
1. Deleting the PDApp folder under OOBE
2. Running the installer from a terminal window in silent mode
3. Running the original installer
Running the original installer starts AAM, which then crashes, and when I relaunch it, it looks for updates and doesn't return to dealing with the full install.
So, I have no idea what to do. I cannot reinstall CS5 or uninstall it. I cannot update anything, even by hand.
I am a fairly sophisticated OS X person, so I am not doing something stupid like not being connected to the net. It's a permissions or ownship thing.
Any suggestions would help.

Your problem is similar to mine.AAM and Deavtive are two central actors in this isssus. OOdude is right on Deactive Question is YES/NO to AAM. Two options with some trial and error. Follow the below-but...
AAM Runs??
1) Deactivate. Uninstall. Run the clean-up script**. Reboot. Reinstall. If you product key works, you’re good. Live long and be creative.
AAM not Running? ‘
2) Backtrack on the link I left earlier. Look it over. If that helps, follow it. Try running the clean-up script. Should pull the bad installation. Reboot and Reinstall. If your product key works, you should be good.
No luck? The sticking point is the fact that you were not able to deactivate. Tech support calls time. No matter how painfull, Adobe’s product key use database has you in its grips.
3) Tell Support “reinstall due to software problems and product key not working.” Adobe will give you codes to release your product key. " You can’t out horsepower this problem.
** >The "Clean-up Script" appears drastic, but it only removes CS5 and "takes out the trash.". Cyber-house cleaning on steroids. Be mindful of instructions and follow to the letter. Reboot. Run CS5 install. Similar to a "clean install" of your OS, but CS5 is the "only-warez" affected.
Ahh...it will work again!! Good luck WileyC

Adobe Application Manager and all applications "hang"

For the last week I have been unable to open most of my Adoe applications tha tI have as aa member of Creative Cloud - I am able to open Lightroom, and, after recurrent failures, Premiere Pro did launch and I could work on it, but subsequently I have been unable to do so again. I have tried contacting support, but after 45 minutes of waiting my phone battery died (on two occasions).
I am using wiindows 7
I have tried to:
Uninstall AAM and reinstall - no help: When I launch this program it either does not launch at all or starts bu then hangs. When it does tno lauch the AAM process is visible in the task maanger pane in Windows.
I tired to uninstall Photoshop, but this was a problem as the Adobe uninstaller 'froze' as the AAM does.
I tired to use Adobe Download assistant as described somewhere on teh forum - no advance. I ran Adobe support advisor and received this notification number -
40-44589-041827012013 - but have been unable to notify to anyone! (Tried 'chat tech support" - told me to phone voice support)
Today I launched Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner and removed the AAM as per instructions. When I then went to reinstall Photoshop, the AAM launched but blue dots started to go aroundand then stopped as occurred previously.
I hope that someone can offer advice - please help!
Stephen

Have you actually trahsed all the application prefs? Made your system's security tools behave? Checked the specific causes for the failures in your System Event Viewer? Removed any other software/ Windows updates? If all apps fail, something has changed on your system and it's most likely not the Adobe software...

Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
Thank you.

Hi Richei Creative,
These would be my suggestions:
Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.

I have CS 6 installed on my Windows PC (Windows 7). It worked for a long time. Now I cannot update the Programm. At first I get the message "update failed, please download a new Version of the Adobe Application Manager". When I did it and tryed to install the application Manager, I got a new message: "Installer could not be initialized. Please download the Adobe support advisor to identifie your Problem." But the Support Advisor has been closed by Adobe and I cannot download the program. What can I do now? (please sorry for my bad english).

Audition CS6 constantly needs to be registered with adobe application manager?

I have audition CS6. For it to open, it needs adobe application manager. However app manager automatically upgrades to creative cloud and deletes itself.
So everytime I try to open audition, it says app manager is missing, and I have reinstall it and register audition. Of couse then then app manager gets deleted, and the next time I wanna open it this process keeps repeating!!
How can I get audition to work with creative cloud?
when I go to "update" in the help menu of the program, it says it is up to date. my operating system is windows 7.
