Request for New Features in Adobe Application Manager

Creative Cloud has been around for a year now and Adobe Application Manager has been the tool to update and download new apps. AAM works fine but, it's so minimal, ever since then I've been waiting for Adobe to release a more useful version.
Here are some essential features that would make Adobe Application Manager more useful...
- Make the AAM window resizeable. If a window contains a long list of items why would it be locked at a short height? Just let the user expand the window as large as they like to view all items.
- Show the version numbers next to the application titles. User should be able to see the version of the available update as well as the version currently installed on user's computer.
- Show the available app's download size in MB. And, while downloading show the MB progress/totals not just a percentage.
- Allow user to pause downloads.
- Show a short description of the application under each title. Or, at least make a link to the application's webpage.
- Add an Uninstall option for user's existing apps.
I currently have Version 7.0.0.324 of Adobe Application Manager. Please let me know if there is some other more advanced version of AAM or if I'm overlooking some existing features.
Thanks.  Den.

    I try to download components for CS Cloud. Adobe Application Manager freezes. Working with Win XP. What can I do?

    You need to provide a lot more info like what apps you are trying to download, what exactly seems to be going on, exact system specs, Internet connection info, whether AAM is up to date and so on....

  • Request for new feature: Login to Flickr account

    I have a request for a new feature for ATV2 in the next sw update. I am hoping Apple will read this.. Please enable ATV2 to login to our Flickr accounts. The way it is, we can't see certain contacts' pictures as their profiles are set to public.
    And please find a solution to never ending "Loading XXXX's Library" screen. Loading a library on the same wifi network (both for files on Mac or Airport's USB Harddrive) takes forever.
    Thanks

    I have an ATV2 and it was logged in fine--I had to restore a few minutes ago because it lost it's connection with iTunes Match, and now I can't log in any more.  This is TERRIBLE as I HAVE to keep my photos on Flickr private, but want to have them playing on the AppleTV at home for me, friends, and parties. 
    Why did this go away?!?!

  • My updates are failing.  Adobe application manager may be damaged.  I have downloaded and installed a new copy and the problem persists.   Please help.

    I am trying to update Photoshop CS6 in order to read my camera's RAW files.  It is a camera that is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS6.  However, when I try to get the Adobe Application Manager to update the software, it fails to do so.  (The spinning wheel tells me it is checking for updates and then quits, saying that "Update Failed - Updates could not be applied.  Adobe Application Manager may be damaged.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.")
    I have tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager 8.0, which gives me the following error message "We've encountered the following issues.  Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  However, when I go to the link provided to download the Adobe Support Advisor, this piece of software NO LONGER EXISTS. "
    The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued
    The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
    So, I have gone to the forums and took the recommended step to update my software manually - getting the update Photoshop_CS6_13_0_6upd-2.dmg.  However, this update also fails stating that my Adobe Application Manager may be damages.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.  Which puts me right back where I started.  
    I have also taken the step of completely reinstalling Photoshop CS6.  This did not solve the problems outlined above.  
    Please help!

  • Adobe application manager needed for CS5

    I just d/l and installed 3 updates for AI, ID, PS from the Adobe site. The update application isn't working. After d/l and trying to install Adobe Bridge 5.02 twice, I've gotten the same error message:
    Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again.
    It must have been working to do the other updates. I just d/l the Applications Manager for CC, which says it works for CS5, but to only run if I get one of 2 error messages:
    Adobe Application Manager is needed to update your product.
    Adobe Application Manager is needed to start your trial.
    My error message is different but to me, implies the same thing. Should I install it?
    I'm on a mac 10.9
    thank you

    Thank you for the response Jeff. I had just installed the Adobe software on a brand new computer that had just had a clean install done by Apple less than 48 hours earlier. I don't use Adobe Cloud or any of the online services. The Adobe Updater appeared after I opened ID for the first time.
    "The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications."
    Does this mean that there were some prerelease installation files on my CDs? This just doesn't make sense to me unless it's possible that something traveled with a document from my previous computer. I never had any trouble with CS4 and CS5 existing together before.
    Does this change your thinking at all?
    Thank you!

  • LR3 and camera raw and adobe application manager

    Hi all,
    I have LR3 and can't for the life of me find out in the documentation or on the website whether or not
    1. LR3 uses camera raw
    2. if it does, whether it gets installed automatically with LR3
    3. where it might get installed
    4. if necessary, how you have to install the upgrade (I get "adobe application manager required" error message, can't find that on the website either)
    HELP PLEASE!!
    Cheers, Bob

    Although ACR (app) may not be necessary when using LR3, it is needed when you use services in Photoshop - such as "merge to panorama", or HDR. I'm constantly getting an error the latest ACR is not installed. WIth the release of ACR 6.2, I'm trying again and when I try to install it I get an error "Application Manager needed to update your product" then:
    Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from Adobe.com, or install this product again.
    The link (http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager)  to the page is incorrect and returns a 404 error.
    Helpful.
    I'm not albe to locate a link to download a copy of the Adobe Application Manager. Anyone know where that is?
    So, I still can't install ACR because of this issue. Although this doesn't seem to be a LR issue specifically, accessing ACR from LR3 is significant to some of us.
    Suggestions welcome, and appreciated.

  • Rror message "Adobe Application Manager is needed ......."

    Getting error message "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem, however it is missing or damaged. Download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager or install this product again".  I am using CS5.  The only patch I can find is for the CC version.  Will this work for my older version?  Any suggestions for how to solve this are greatly appreciated.

    The Adobe Application Manager is not used or needed for CS5.  I suspect you have installed something in error and got your adobe apps confused.  Can you gives some history?  What steps/issues led to this situation?
    Also what operating system are you using?

  • I can't select  indesign CC, photoshop CC, illustrator CC... in the adobe application manager

    Currently I have installed CS6 Master Collection and like to install adobe creative cloud for teams additionally. Adobe Application Manager now does not offer me the CC - Versions of indesign, photoshop etc. but only the CS6 Versions. Do you have any idea what the reason is?

    It is June 17th and I can't get CC versions of anything from Creative Cloud either.
    Please could someone from Adobe tell me how to run both CS6 and CC on my mac at one time as I am a certified instructor and need both versions. Thanks

  • Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

    Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager.  I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product.  In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install.  For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

  • 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

  • Suggested Feature for Adobe Application Manager

    In an upcoming release I'd like to suggest a feature for the application manager. It would be nice if there was a shutdown computer after updates finish option. This way I could let it run when I finish working, leave, and have it take care of shutting everything down for me.

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Aarroonn789 the Adobe Application Manager is a main component of the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  I would recommend removing and reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.

  • Unable to install updates nor exclusive features; Adobe Application Manager damaged?

    I've acquired a Spanish student's subscription of Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded Photoshop CS6 Extended, Flash CS6 Professional and Illustrator CS6. However, I have two issues related to downloading updates:
    When I try to update or download an application, the Adobe Application Manager shows the message "Downloading error | Adobe Application Manager is damaged and it is necessary to resinstall it. Download it now or contact with customer's support."
    However I reinstalled AAM three times, but instead of reinstalling, shows the message "Updating Adobe Application Manager" and after the installation, running AAM again shows the same message.
    I cannot access to the Adobe Creative Cloud exclusive features of Photoshop and Illustrator, showing the application as if it was activated by a serial, and not by subscription.
    I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit operating system.
    Update: The version of AAM is 6.2

    I have the same issue, particularly with Pixel Bender 2.5, all the other upgrades get installed correctly without trouble but this one always fail, the message I get is the same one every time:
    Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5 Update
      Installation failed
    Can you point me in the right direction? It seems to me that the patch is faulty.
    Thanks.
    Update 01/15/2011
    Here's another update on my issue with Adobe Application Manager, I just realized today that actually none of the available upgrades got installed. Although it only marks an error with Pixel Bender, other components such as Photoshop, Premiere and others aren't being upgraded either even when the program tells you otherwise, what I mean is that for example there's Photoshop 12.0.2 available for download so I click on "Update"; the files get downloaded and installed with no error message being displayed but when I check the software it is still version 12.0.1, the same is happening with Premiere and another one, can't remember which one.
    This is additional to the issue of Pixel Bender being unable to upgrade.
    Please advise,
    Thanks,
    David.
    Update 01/16/2011
    I tried to download all the available updates individually from the Adobe website, the only one that went through was Photoshop, but then when I double clicked it to install it the same faulty application manager launched and I got the same behavior than before, it runs the installation and displays a message that states that everything was installed correctly, yet there no upgrade performed.
    All the rest of the available downloads failed to mount.
    Also the speed for download is excessively low, I checked my connection and the issue is not on my end, but yours.
    This is starting to become very frustrating.

  • Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

    I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello there,
    Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
    I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
    I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
    I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
    Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Pierre
    PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.
