How do I remove the Adobe updater icon from the menu bar?

How can I remove the Adobe Updater icon from the menu bar? It's pixelated and looks broken. Any help is appreciated.
I found this thread, but it doesn't work. When I click on the Updater icon, then click "Open updater," it opens the Creative Cloud instead. I haven't found a way to remove the updater icon from within Creative cloud.
Remove Adobe Updater from OS X menu bar?
^^ Doesn't work
Anyone know how to remove it?
Thanks!

Found it, thanks to later posts in that thread I mentioned in the OP. Here is what they suggest (you have to use Photoshop):
1. In Photoshop, go to Help >Updates:
2. Click "Preferences" at the bottom right.
3. Uncheck the box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar." Then click "Ok."
Hope that helps anyone!

How to really, really disable auto-update popups from flash player?

I have here a serious problem under 64bit Win7.
More and more frequently a popup appears prompting me (or even start download without prompt!!)if a new flash player should be installed.
When I proceed it shows the progress bar and downloads the package and installation started until the "done" button is shown.
Then I re-open Internet Explorer 9 again and re-vist the last webpage and ....the download starts again.
This is really annoying.
How do I really, really stop forever update prompts for flash player plugins for Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Hi pxstein,
Thanks for posting the screenshots, especially the one of the Process Explorer. It indicates that this is not an auto-update install situation. This type of installation is triggered via content on the page that requires a newer version of Flash Player (your screenshot indicates you have 11.8.800.94) and the content provider has decided to use this type of installation (we support several types that content providers can implement). Since this type of installation is controlled by the content, there isn't a way to disable it. Normally, IE displays a User Account Control dialog window or a dialog bar at the bottom of the page asking if you want to save/run the file. I don't see these in your screenshots and you don't mention if they displayed or not. If not, you may have disabled this warning at some point in time.
Flash Player 11.8 is very old and very vulnerable to security issues and we've released many security updates since then. My recommendation is to update Flash Player to the latest version, 15.0.0.167 for Internet Explorer (15.0.0.152 for non-IE browsers on Windows). If you don't want the latest features available in Flash Player 15, you can install what we refer to as the Extended Support Release (ESR) version. This is a previous stable version that we only release security updates for. Currently this is 13.0.0.244 for both Internet Explorer and non-IE browsers on Windows.
To download the latest version, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Internet Explorer
To download the ESR version, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. The links to download the FP 13 ESR version are at the bottom of the page.

How do I disable Adobe Update??

I need to know how to disable Adobe Update so it only runs when I want it to run. I saw that my i7-920 24gig machine was using 100% of cpu tonight. Im running on a 12 hour old fresh install of Win7 64bit and was immediately concerned when i saw how much cpu was being used. When I checked system resources, I saw that it was adobe update that was using 99% of all the resources. I cant have this. Please tell me how I can disable adobe update from running without me initializing it.

Adobe Update Manager Disabled using Packager

Hi,
I installed CC Apps by use of a package created with Creative Cloud Packager. I had the "Adobe Update Manager" set to Disabled. Also, "Disable Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application" was checked.
Now that the apps are installed, is it possible to have them Auto-Update again? I downloaded the Creative Cloud Desktop App and installed it, but it doesn't even see that the apps are already installed, and wants to install them all over again.
Any ideas besides re-creating the packages and re-installing everything?
Thanks in advance,
James

Hi JamesAcart,
Please follow these Steps to enable the the Adobe Update feature.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0
In this location please look for the ‘AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.DAT’ file and open this file with notepad.
After opening the file in notepad you can find below mentioned code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Preferences>
<Suppressed>1</Suppressed></Preferences>
Change the Suppressed value from 1 to 0 and save the file at the same location.
Same steps applied to Macintosh in the below mentioned location.
Mac:
Go to – Main HD /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0

Disable adobe updater

    Is there a way to disable adobe update4? I thought I did and it just showed up on my menu bar.
     It seems to affect my photoshop by showing a strange "A" like symbol that flashes on occasion while in Photoshop.
   Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Then you should get the Adobe Update Manager:
Click on the Preferences label (upper right). This will change the page to:
Now uncheck the first box on the left side if you want to turn all notifications off. If you just want notification for one or a couple of the products, just leave only that one(s) checked on the right side.

Adobe update manager

What part does adobe update manager play in the ongoing functioning of 5.5?

If we issue an update patch, and if we were to do so I would notify the forum in advance, the update manager would be able to discover this, notify you, and perform the download and installer launch. At this time there are no plans to release a patch. With CS 6 due in less than a year, and with any patch or update requiring significant testing that could otherwise be spent on new feature development, it's unlikely to occur unless a serious flaw on the level of data corruption or fatalities is found.
So you can probably kill that process without worry.

AMelie Eliabeth the Adobe Download Assistant can be dragged to your trash can. There is no separate uninstaller or any other application files to remove.

Adobe Update Manager Crashes even though not installed???

Using Mac OS (Tiger), each time the Apple is re-started, adobe manager update flashes on the screen and crashes the starting of the Mac. This happens even though I have deleted all the "Update Manager" programs that i can find. The "problem report" window says the path of the crash is: Path: /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Updater.acroplugin/Adobe Update Manager.app/Contents/MacOSClassic/Adobe Update Manager
Parent: WindowServer [69]
But, I follow that path and it does not exist.
I have tried calling Adobe and have never found a less helpful company in any area of life. If I could delete all Adobe products and find another pdf reader I would gladly do that. Any help, please?

I'd recommend re-installing Acrobat. If that doesn't help, try deleting your system cache using a utility like Applejack or Onyx.

Prevent Adobe extension manager from running

Hi
does anyone know where I can turn off the Adobe Extension manager from running everytime I start Dreamweaver?
We are a school so clearing down the profiles on each machine after each logoff. Needless to say at the next log on it runs again, not something we can expect the studenst to have to do every log on! As we deployed CS5 via group policy we do not appear to have the luxury to be able to uninstall the manager seperately.
Anyone know where in the registry we can disable it from running everytime we start Dreamweaver?
Many thanks
Addid

Hi
The extension manager should not start with dreamweaver as it is a stand-alone application, have you checked that it is not set to start along with dreamweaver in your servers 'start-up' script for dreamweaver.
You could also submit a 'bug report' here - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, (ignore the 'wishform' in the link as bug reports are also on the same page). There is also a link to the Adobe support page in the linked page text should you wish to contact them.

Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.
