Old Adobe Updater Removal

Hello Fellow Adobe CC Users and @adobe,
So I've been a Create Cloud subscriber for a couple of years now. I've noticed even on a brand new iMac that the old Adobe updater makes it's way into the menu bar next to the create cloud updater. The old Adobe updater really has no functionality, it makes sense that Adobe would kill this in an update, but it's now been years and it's still there, see the attached showing CC and the A next to dropbox.
Does anyone on the forums have a way to kill this component without affecting Create Cloud? I don't see any value and it takes up menu space for zero reason.
Thanks,
Dave

How do I remove the old Adobe Updater?

I have two Adobe items in my menubar (see attached image). I'm now using CC, so I want to get rid of the older updater. How do I do that?

Hi,
Try looking for the application here:
root: /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/Adobe Application Manager.app
If you double click and it still brings up the CC app, then you'll need to quit the CC app temporarily. To do that, go to gear icon in the upper right corner (see screenshot)
With the CC app closed, try launching the AAM app again.
When you're done turning off the AAM notifications, go to root: /Applications/ Adobe Creative Cloud/Adobe Creative Cloud to launch it again.

steve

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

I want to remove Adobe Updater from the menu bar!

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

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

I would like to remove the Adobe Updater from my menu bar for my Mac, I found a lot of instruction to remove it for other versions of the updater, but the I can't find that option in the new CS6 updater.
If there is a way to completely stop the updater from running, that would be useful too.
I also don't understand why the updater say "4" in the menu bar, I only have Photoshop installed, and there are no update avaiable.

I am one of the many for whom Application Manager just started to crash every time I tried to open it. I was also getting the 'trial' dialog box, then a request for a serial number, even though I subscribe to Creative Cloud.
After hours with Adobe Tech Support, I have gone the around-your-elbow-to-get-to-your-mouth method of creating a second user and installing CC apps there...hopefully this is temporary situation, but a girl has to work.
My question is this: how do I remove the updater notifications from the menu bar [original user] if I can't open Application Manager? It crashes every time...besides, Tech Support had me send it to the trash and delete it. I went to my other user ID, updated all, but I'm still showing the annoying update badge in my original menu bar. [Altho' Camera Raw failed to update...that's another issue]
Please advise. I had CS5.5 Design Premium...maybe it would be easier just to upgrade that to CS6 and ditch Creative Cloud!
Thanks in advance.

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!

Hi-I have an old Adobe Audition 1.5 and I used to be able to hear as I was recording. After updating computer and reloading Adobe Audition 1.5, can no longer hear as recording but only on playback. Please advise.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

Adobe Updater not working and/or removing the Icon from a MacBook Pro?

I purchased CS5 -Design standard for my MacBook Pro a few years ago and have never had a problem until recently. I put a new hard drive into my laptop and reinstalled everything. CS5 programs run fine when I'm using them. Now all of a sudden, I'm getting an icon on my top MAC menu bar from Adobe Updater saying I need to update all of my programs. It will not go away. I follow all the steps, it completes the download then says there are errors and the downloads cannot be completed, to close and try again. I've done this 5 times over 2 weeks with no luck. If there are updates I'd really like to install them or just shut the updater down so that I can't see the icon on my menu bar.
It does not give me an option to enter serial numbers from the CS5 I purchased or to just close the thing and move on with my life. What do I do? All this is running on a MacBook Pro, CS5-Design standard.
Icon on Menu Bar
I open it to see Adobe Updater wants me to update a bunch of programs
I hit the update button- downloading starts and completes to 100%
Now all of the updates are errors downloading- with no options but to close and try again.

Adobe updater tries to update to an old version

Hi,
the adobe updater requests a update to Photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 but ist is allready at level 12.0.5. Same with Ilustrator ist on 15.0.3 and the request is to level 15.0.2. How can I supress this request
Thanks in advance
best regards
Roland

Not that much you can do about it - it's a bug that Adobe rolled out the 12.0.5 security update as a "secret" patch that its own updater isn't even aware of.
Since there are very likely going to be no more updates ever tor Photoshop CS5 you could just disable the updater process through its options settings so it will stop asking. Seems pretty stupid on Adobe's part to force you to have to do so.

Removing Old Adobe Files?

After restoring a backup onto a new computer, I transferred a bunch of adobe files onto my new computer but photoshop did not work. I finally got it installed by downloading a trial and putting in my serial number, but it seems that a lot of these old adobe files were not affected by the install (when I click get info, it says it was modified a while ago)
Should I delete all traces of adobe and then try installing again to be sure I have no excess files? Or are these necessary? I'm on a mac, running mavericks.

It can't hurt to make sure you have a full, fresh install.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If you do choose to clean up via the above tool, I'd suggest deactivating it first via the Help - Deactivate menu.
