How do I uninstall the Application Manager?

After a difficult installation of Creative Cloud, my Windows 7 64-bit Desktop freezes after a period of time ranging from minutes to hours. Desktop icons won’t launch, and context menus won’t display. Quick Launch icons still work OK.
I asked a computer guru with a broad range of knowledge about this. He says he’s seen this before, and it involves processes running in the background. He recommends using the Adobe cleaner tool to remove the Application Manager. Yesterday I found a post on where to get it and how to use it, but today, I can’t find it.
So my question is, “Where do I get the cleaner tool and how do I use it to remove just the Application Manager?”

Cwcsdc are you saying that you are experiencing slow performance over multiple Adobe Creative applications? You can find information on the cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. You may want to consider though posting to a couple of the specific product forums if you are experiencing performance issues however. The CS Cleaner Tool is more likely to help when an install has failed and the Creative application is unable to even open.

How do I uninstall the download manager in Firefox - all versions

What download manager?
If you are talking about the built-in download manager it can not be uninstalled, if it is a third party download manager, check the Firefox add-ons manager or the Windows Control panel add/remove programs to see if it is listed in either of those locations.

How can I uninstall Adobe Application Manager?

Hi,
After I watched a video about creative cloud, I visited creative.adove.com. Then when I tried a illustrator try button, I was asked to install Adobe Application Manager. Then it installed and begin to download Illustrator cs6. I know it will take more than day to download it. so i canceled the download. Then I was looking for ways to uninstall Adobe Application Manager. I have I idea how to do it. Can you help me please. I don't want it. Thank you
Krish

It will be removed automatically when you will uninstall the last product from creative suites (including older versions of creatives suites)
However, can you please confirm if download is happening slow on your system. Can you check your broadband speed using www.speedtest.com

How can I flush/repair installed programs in the Application Manager / Creative Cloud?

Hi. I had installed a few of the Adobe programs through the Application Manager/Creative Cloud service on a Windows 7 system. The system crashed, forcing me to recover from a prior time backup, which was from before I installed the programs. Now, the Adobe Application Manager shows the prior programs as "Installed", and will not allow me to re-install them. These programs *do not* appear in Window's "Uninstall Programs" listing for me to uninstall manually, *nor* do they appear in the Start Menu to launch. And as far as I can tell, they no longer have Registry entries.
How do I flush the Application Manager to tell it that I do not have these programs installed anymore, or force it to re-install?
Thanks.

I don't believe the data on what is installed and what is not is held at Adobe; I think it is in your particular instance of the AAM that "knows" what is installed.
I'm not sure what happened to me will help you or not but... Also, I have a Mac not a Win7 system.
In my case, I had Acrobat X Pro and I download Acrobat XI. Acrobat does not like to install when there is an older version already on the machine. Adobe tells you to unistall the older version and then install the new version. Why this isn't in their install scripts is beyond me. The installer for Acrobat XI ran sucessfully. I didn't realize the problem until I went to open a PDF.
I manually uninstalled Acrobat X. Still had problems. Then I manually uninstalled Acrobat XI. (Both times I used the uninstaller Adobe provides.) I started AAM and it showed the XI installed. I tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. The tool is supposed to clear out any left overs after an uninstall and thus "flush" AAM. When I ran the Cleaner, Acrobat XI didn't show up in the list of programs. I eventually found a second uninstaller for Acrobat XI that cleaned things up such that AAM agreed I needed to install the software.
With the disk-based installs, when you ran the installer you got an option to "repair" the current installation. Why you have to jump through all the hoops that AAM has not is beyond me. It would seem more rational to put options into AAM directly to let you re-install things or repair them. This is one where Adobe dropped the ball.

How to get rid of Application Manager? Don't need to buy the Cloud. Photoshop is no longer working.

Hi
I am an existing LR4 and CS6 customer and downloaded the "Application Manager" a while ago which asked me to do a trial of the cloud. I actually never got around to using anything cloud related except Photoshop (which I already own) and the trial ended a few minutes ago. Now I can't seem to get into Photoshop anymore and am in the middle of doing wedding shots due in a couple of days. My only choices were to buy the cloud or exit. How do I get rid of this annoying Application Manager? I tried the applications/utilitiesd/adobe installers folder, but the only choice was to unintall Photoshop only. This is so unprofressional of Adobe I can't believe it. Help.

OK ..fixed the problem (after spending an hour with tech support with no luck, I posted a note on Juliiane Kost's Facebook page and got a response from Adobe which works great). Anyway, go to this blog post from Adobe's Jeffrey Tranberry .. http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updates-now-available.htm l . Essentially when you get asked to purchase after the trial ends, click the license button and enter your original serial number from your purchased version of Photoshop. Then you will once again be in Photoshop, run the update and you are good to go.

Application manager insisting I "renew my subscription" but I have a standalone version of acrobat. Any way to convince the manager that my product is registered? There does not seem to be any manual additions in the application manager app.

I am using Mac OS X (yosemite). I had a creative cloud student subscription for a year (expired in September) and I did not renew. However, I did purchase adobe acrobat XI. I am not sure of the exact day it stopped working (before or after OS upgrade), but now the application manager takes over after I start acrobat and insists I do not have a subscription and must renew. I checked the web and my product is registered and I have the serial number, which I enter upon installation. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything to no avail. I even contacted adobe and they seemed to have a hard time understanding why I was having a problem since the product was registered. I could not devote much time to the online chat so needless to say, my problem still persists.

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update issues forum.
Adugasjr please remove your current installation of Acrobat and reinstall. If you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.

How do I uninstall an application. It won't let me move it to trash as it says it's open. How do i close it

How do I uninstall an application that I downloaded by mistake? It won't let me move it to trash as it says it's open. How do I close it?

Launch the Activity Monitor in /Utilities and sort by name. Select any that refer to the app (shame you didn't indicate what it was), click on the Quit Process button, and click on Force Quit. When all are gone, empty the trash.

Whats the purpose for the Application Manager?

Here's what I'd LIKE the application manager to do:
I use the Adobe Creative Cloud. This was advertised as a service where you go to always get the latest Adobe software so everything is kept up to date. I assumed this to mean that the patches that come out occasionally would be monitored and put on the cloud to install. (NOT TRUE. Patches aren't tracked or offered for download.)
Then, it seems to me that the Application Manager would look at whats on the cloud and whats on your machine, and if you're not up to date on something, it notifies you and asks if you want to update, then does it.
But, it doesn't do any of this! It just prevents me from installing ANY PATCHES to any software and making me reinstall itself which doesn't do any good.
I don't get it. This whole Creative Cloud and Application Manager is an EPIC FAILURE.
Get it right, guys! You're the 900 lb. gorillas in creative software. Surely you can figure this stuff out.

Not necessarily. I'm a tech person so I usually like having the latest ang greatest version of the software that I'm using. So if you're happy with 4.3 and it's not crashing or causing errors then feel free to keep using it.
You can always try 4.7 and if you don't like it uninstall it and reinstall 4.3
