Please Help - ApplicationManager 2.0 won't install - Mac Intel OSX 10.6.8

I've Adobe Master Suite 5.0 demo on my hard disk and would like to deinstall it the correct way.
Unfortunately each and every time I attempt to deinstall any program, I receive a dialog box informing me that the Application Manager
is either not present or damaged and needs to be installed/reinstalled.
I've downloaded ApplicationManager 2.0 from Adobe's website and launched the installer.
Its 'Initializing Installer' progress bar progresses all the way to the end and then it quits.
Since I "don't own' Adobe Master Suite 5.0 demo software, Adobe's tech support won't even discuss the situation with me.
If any kind soul has areasonable answer/workaround I would greatly appreciate it.
FWIW, I am not about to use the software that removes all traces of Adobe CS products
because I am using some CS4 software and choose not to get into a worse situation.
Nor am I about to totally erase my hard drive and "start from scratch"
Thank you very much in advance for any help that can be provided.
Cheers!

Michael,
Many Grateful Thanks for the suggestion ... that particular piece of software did work.
Though I still needed to manually trash all of CS5 software and associated files.
I still can't figure out though why Application Manager 2.0 refuses to install?
It's been definitely updated since I used it with CS3.
Cheers!

  • OMG freaking out please help!!  Installer won't install..Disk Utility gone?

    Newer mac user here with very little osx experience. First post on the forums really hoping you can help.
    I have a couple issues right now. First of all, lately when I try to install apps nothing happens. More specifically, when I click on the .pkg file nothing happens. The screen kind of flashes (it doesn't really flash, but I don't know how else to describe it) like it wants to do something, but then.....nothing. This has happened recently with both a divx codec I downloaded from divx.com and also with neooffice. I have tried dumping the neooffice download in the trash and redownloading and trying to reinstall and it does the same thing everytime.....nothing.
    Second....can someone tell me exactly what is supposed to be in the applications/utility folder? I thought there was a disk utility program in there that would allow me to reset permissions, but I can't find it!! I can't find it using finder either!! I am freaking out a little bit here and any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Sounds like you trashed a few things from your Utilities folder. For details on restoring one or more missing pieces, see my post at:

    There is a problem with the activation process between your machine and Apple to verify your machine is allowed to reinstall OS X.
    You will have to call AppleCare to resolve this issue. (even if you did't purchase AppleCare you still call their number)
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Another method is to take it back to the AppleStore you purchased the machine at.

    You don't need any software to run the router at all.  Connect with your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password admin and configure your router manually like everyone else. 

  • CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac  OS 10.5

    I've just received CS3 Design premium, and InDesign won't install. There is no reason given, just that it won't install. Shared components and Version Cue Server won't install either. I just upgraded to Leopard on a g5 Intel system. Any ideas on what to do next?

    CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5
    Hi Darlene,
    I think I just got lucky - it hesitated a few times then finally clicked.
    One of the previous posters suggested to not install Version Cue, so I
    clicked that one off. Did you repair the permissions and restart before
    installing? Spin around 3 times clicking your heels saying, there's no
    program like InDesign?
    If you can stay in InD 2 I would suggest that, expecially if you use a lot
    of clipping paths. InD3 has a bug there that won't see interior paths, so
    you have to go back into Photoshop to rework the image. If I had only know
    that before.....
    Good luck!

    Best regards, John.

    because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
    John,
    William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.
    Regards

  • Please help! My CS6 won't open and Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew CS Cloud subscription.

    Hi there.
    I recently canceled my CS Cloud subscription about 3 weeks ago and went back to using CS6. I was using CS6 Creative Suite without a problem until 2 days ago. Now my CS6 programs (AI, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) won't open. Instead the Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew the subscription, see below insert.
    I have chatted with Adobe customer support numerous times but when it comes to transferring me to their technical support, the chat mysteriously becomes unavailable. The only time the transfer went through, I was advised to remove CS6 Creative Suite using Cleaner Tool and reinstall, which I did but my CS6 still does not open and the AAM keeps popping up giving me the same message to renew the subscription. The AI/Photohop icons just keep bouncing up and down without opening while the AAM pops up.
    What can I do to stop this annoying AAM from popping up and open my CS6? I just want my CS6 to open up again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help!

  • Please help!!! can't install itunes on windows 8

    my brother got a new laptop (sony vaio) with windows 8. as he tries to install itunes, an error indication keeps appearing, telling him that the itunes setup is not compatible. what should he do to solve the problem? he tried installing the whole thing several times, but it just doesnt work. please help!!!

    Is he using the newest iTunes? If so, you have to run the iTunes program as an administrator. If you can't install it then, run the program with the compatability settings for windows xp service pack 3 and run it as an administrator then. If that doesn't work, you have to call up apple then.

  • Please help!  i tunes won't display song list or artist ??

    have 2 identical new computers and have installed itunes on both. One computer will open the cd automatically but does not display the artist and songs. The other computer automatically opens the cd and displays both the titles and artist. I must have a setting wrong on my one computer somewhere but have no idea where to look. I have un installed and re installed i tunes a few times but the settings never change. I have put both as my default player but still no luck. Please help!

    Thanx for responding vdub, I deleted I tunes because I made the mistake of importing all of my music for a second time after adding all of my music to my new external hard drive and what happened, was, that created duplicates of almost all of my files and triples and quads of a whole lot of them. After spending 2 days trying to manually delete the duplicates and barely putting a dent in it, I decide it would be easier to just delete everything and just start over, well apparently that was a bad idea because now I've been trying to reinstall itunes for about a week with no success. Also retrieving it from the recycle bin is not an option because, of course, I emptied the bin. I'm lost,....

  • PLEASE HELP!My phone won't stop rebooting!

    For some reason my phone turns on, and then the screen showing "Blackberry" with the loading bar appears, but it gets about 3 quarters of the way then flashes off then starts to repeat the same process. I am lost on what to do, even after reading sevral solutions that haven't worked!
    Also when I plug it into my computer and open Blackberry desktop software, it recognises the phone but won't connect to it! Please please help!

    However, there's no way for anyone to tell you which OS to download for your model BB. If your carrier supports multiple, then you should download the one running on your BB. But, in it's current condition, you have no way to tell now -- only if you already knew before this all happened could you possibly know now. So, I'd suggest going with the most recent version. Your BB, in it's current state, is pretty much toast anyway (including, btw, all of your data...hopefully you've been backing up regularly).

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Please help! emac wont boot after installing os 9 alongside os x!

    Hi,
    I am a teacher. My school recently gave me an emac to use in my classroom that has Tiger installed on it. I have a bunch of OS 9 games that I want the kids to be able to use, so I decided to try to install OS 9 alongside os x. I just installed OS 9 on the same partition as os x using an OS 9 emac installation disc. I had to install OS 9 on the same partition as OS X because I am not allowed to repartition the school computer. I tested out classic in OS X, but it didn't play the games well. I then tried to boot naively into os 9 by going into system preferences, then to startup, and then selected OS 9 as what to boot into. When I restarted, the only thing I was left with was a floppy disk with a flashing question mark inside. I tried to boot back into OS X by holding the option key, but my only option for booting is OS 9. I then tried to boot back into OS X by holding down the "x" key, but it still tries to boot into OS 9. Could someone please help?
    Thanks!!
    -Stacy

    Hi, Stacy -
    Since the machine boots to the OS 9 Install CD, it is indeed OS 9 bootable, by definition.
    Since the installer on the CD was able to 'see' the destination drive, then that drive does have OS 9 drivers on it.
    Those two are the primary causes for a machine not being able to use OS 9 as a boot OS.
    I assume you accepted the default install of OS 9 and did not customize it. If that is the case, then it should have installed all files needed by your machine in order to use it as a bootable OS.
    About all that is left is make sure that the OS 9 System Folder has been blessed - registered as a bootable OS. To do that, boot to the OS 9 Install CD but do not run the installer. Instead, open the icon for the hard drive (if it is not already open), locate and open the System Folder (not the folder named just System - that's OSX). Drag the files named Finder and System (both are loose in the System Folder's window) out to the desktop. Close the Syatem Folder. Then drop those two files back into the closed System Folder.
    Once that is done the System Folder should be displaying a miniture glyph of the Mac OS logo superimposed on the icon for that folder.
    One other question, re the CD you used for the installation. Was it a Software Install CD specific to that machine (does it show eMac on the label)? Or was it a retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9)?
