Enable Adobe Application Manager for Auto Updates

Hello all,
I originally had Adobe Application Manager enabled, which gave me update sto all my adobe products.  But I accidentally disabled it and now I cannot seem to find it anywhere on my computer.  I have checked in my program files and in my applications.
Can someone help me re-enable it?
Thank you very much.

So doing this in any of my adobe products will invoke the Update Manager so that Adobe will scan for updates for all my adobe products, not just the one in which I did Help>Check for Updates?

  • Adobe Application Manager won't update on Win 8.1 - cannot install apps

    Since updating this PC to Windows 8.1, the Adobe Application Manager which manages the Creative Cloud apps will not update itself, hence we cannot install or update CC apps (specifically, Acrobat).
    On clicking the download button on the Acrobat page of CC, the Adobe Application Manager starts to update itself, then quits with the error:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    Adobe Application Manager failed to install.
    [Quit]
    Repeated attempts fail.  We urgently need to admin several CC apps so to be forced to use the App Manager causes us substantial business interruption.

  • 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 fails to update/install

    Please help me resolve this error and update App Manger properly.
    I have downloaded and am running Creative Cloud CS6 versions of Illustrator and Photoshop that I installed back in Decmember.  Now I'm trying to download more applications and am encountering this error:
    I click 'download' on InDesign (for example)
    Download initiates launch of Application manager, App manager opens main window then "initializing installer window"
    Application manager flashes this warning for a split second: "other instances of adobe application manager are currently running which must be closed before installing this product. Please close or wait for them to complete." (see image). This warning closes on its own after just a second.
    Then it continues to install for a few minutes, asks for my password then fails with the message, "We've encountered the following issues, Adobe Application manager failed to install" (no error number, see image)
    Photoshop and Illustrator still run fine, but none of my Adobe apps (including Air) will update properly now. I have tried deleting the App Manger files from applications > utilities and re-installing, but that also creates an error.
    I have searched for duplicate app manager files but have come up empty.  I've run the support advisor app and it checks out fine.  I have a token from that if it helps. 
    I'm running iMac 10.6.8 and I also have CS5 installed on this computer if it makes a difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.   I'd like to be able to run the apps I'm currently paying a monthly fee for.

    I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
    I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
    Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
    Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
    Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
    Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
    Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
    Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
    Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
    Step 8: close the black window
    Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773  and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
    Step 10: Run the application
    Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
    If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps.  I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever.  Each tech person gave me different information.  The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer.  If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
    Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out! 

  • Adobe Application Manager. Error: Updates could not be applied. You are already running the Adobe...

    Hi Guys
    I am having a rather frustrating issue with my Photoshop CS6. I have been trying to run the updates for hours now as my Photoshop CS6 is slow and unresponsive. I have an i7 Mac and 16GB of RAM. it should not be slow.
    Anyway.
    I keep getting this error each time I try to run the updates.
    I have:
    Restarted
    Repaired permissions
    Reinstalled Adobe Applications Manager
    Nothing works.
    Pulling my hair out.

    I have even tried manually downloading the update DMGs and doing it that way but the error persists.

  • Adobe Application Manager failed during update and fils to reinstall

    G'day All,
    I put this up in November last year in a Creative Suites discussion thread (sse blow the line), and though the original post has been viewed more than 280 times, I have received no responses. I simply cannot update my CS6 software. I have just reposted the information below there, and figured I should try here, also.
    Details : CS6 design and web premium, HP Pavilion quad-core i7,  now running Windows 8.1
    Essentially my application manager failed while it was upgrading itself as I was attempting to fix a problem with Acrobat/the Adobe PDF printer constantly failing after printing only one PDF. The updater/application manager then simply disappeared from my system altogether.
    At the time of the original problem I had downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe; if I attempt to run it I get a pop-up window 2/3rds of the way through the installation and the following message 'Installer failed to initialise. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem'.
    Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists.
    So I tried the latest version - ApplicationManager8.0_all.exe. This installed just fine, but seems to be entirely oriented around CC applications, so I haven't tried it on my CS6 programs. Should I just uninstall it? I rather wonder why it says 'This patch will install the Adobe Application Manager that is included with Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Suite 6, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 products' if, in fact, it's just for CC products.
    So, any suggestions on what to do now? I'd really like to be able to update my applications via a Manager that will actually function.
    regards,
    Bill
    G'day All,
    (CS6 design and web premium, Windows 8. HP Pavilion quad-core i7)
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.
    Having been driven nuts by the 'Acrobat manager is not activated' message which persisted in popping up if I made any attempts beyond one to create a PDF - that is, I could print one, and then no others without a reboot, nor having done so could I read any PDFs - I searched online and got a discouraging, tangled mess of suggestions, including the fairly obvious one of checking that all programs had been updated by the Application Manager.
    'Ah,' I thought, 'maybe if I ensure everything's up-to-date this thing where Acrobat failing to start because it thinks it's not 'activated' means I can neither read nor print PDFs will be miraculously fixed without my having to install magical patches or deregister and reregister the entire suite in order to appease a program I don't even use or want!'
    Poor naive fool that I am!
    So I tried to run the Application Manager.
    It momentarily flashed a message claiming (I believe - it was only there for a second) another instance of itself was running, then proceeded to run an update process for the application itself, then threw up an administration window seeking to allow the program to modify the system about 2/3rds of the way through, and then announced via a little window with one of those horrible little red 'fail' symbols that the application manager had failed to install.
    It sure had!
    That's it - I now have no Application Manager to attempt to manage updates through! No shortcut - that disappeared too! Nothing in the hideous Windows 8 start menu! No search will reveal it! It's simply gone. Yes, I've rebooted.
    All I can find online suggests installing a new instance of the Application Manager, which is, of course, the CC version, and I'm not a subscriber. OK, maybe that will work, but, quite frankly, with two strikes against Adobe already I'm going to ask if anyody actually knows whether this approach, or any other, is likely to solve the problem.
    regards,
    Bill

    Thanks for the reply, Jeff. Sure am! But that's not the main problem.
    However, it appears the main problem has been fixed - via the installation of AAM 8 - a mere 9 months later! CS6 updates - woohoo!
    This didn't fix the Adobe PDF printing thing - in fact, I just lost everything I'd previously typed in response to you testing this hadn't been fixed by AAM 8's updates (it hasn't!).
    However, during the 9 month fallow period I've discovered that if I keep process explorer open and kill the splwow64.exe/acrotray.exe process tree after every single PDF printing  I don't get bizarre messages telling me the Adobe PDF printer isn't 'activated' or have my system go into a tizzy and need rebooting. So it still doesn't really work, but I do have a work-around...
    regards,
    Bill

  • Adobe application manager not finding updates on PSE11

    There should be a camera raw 7.4 update available, but it is not being found and I am not sure what other updates are not being found.
    In addition I did a manual download of Adobe Patch Installer and when it was launched got the following message in the UPDATES pop up:
         > Error loading Updater workflow
    I suspect this may be the root cause of the application manager not finding updates.
    Any suggestions on how to get this Updater workflow to load?

    FYI - I did an un-install and re-install of PSE11 and it looks like that has worked as the system is now recognizing available updates :-)

  • How do I allow Adobe Application Manager for managed user?

    When a managed user attempts to open CS5 Photoshop, this error comes up: "Adobe Application Manager is not allowed"
    I know there is a way to give this app permissions in the Workgroup Manager, but I can't find them on the web (google or here)
    Can anyone tell me which apps have to be allowed for CS5 Photoshop to work?

    You can reinstall the Adobe Application Manager using this link http://www.adobe.com/applicationmanagerpatch/index.html.

    If you are a Creative cloud member then you can completely remove Adobe application manager from Adobe suite cleaner tool which can be downloaded through http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and install our new Adobe Creative cloud from https://creative.adobe.com/https://creative.adobe.com/products.

  • My "Adobe installer" is not running  and "adobe application manager" will not update....

    My question?
    When did making art get so technical? Also, have the software engineers at Adobe finally  begun to shed the Cheetos from their beards and then crown themselves as artists extraordinaire? Well good for them! Bad for me! No offense, but I've  been wrestling with this for quite a while. Without a single Cheeto.....
    Could somebody at least tell me that this problem is mostly imaginary? I can relate to that actually, one time in Santa Cruz...
    Bridge crashes frequently, especially during a drag and drop action. Photoshop crashes less frequently, but when even a mere moment's worth of my eternal genius has been shed, all life weeps, including you...unknowingly...
    I was then instructed by the Adobe to perform a strange ritual using an ancient language called the "DOS" and to inquire for the Adobe of the little known " fsutil file setshortname" routine. Then the Adobe would know my true name, and where my short paths were (?).I tried very hard to comply with the demands of the Adobelites who lounged in the Cloud but fled to this place for counsel./
    This is all true. My mother said so.
    Thanks, and with much too much time on his hands,

  • 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.
