Update Failed - You are already running Adobe Applications Manager. Please close all instances ....

Okay, I get the following screen every time I try to apply updates.
I can't find any reference to Adobe Applications Manager anywhere, so I can't stop any of the instances from running.
The message directs me to Customer support, but this message is not in any of the forums that I can find.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Barry

Can't update programs: "Unable to apply updates You are already running Adobe Application Manager. ..." HELP!

So, I try to update Photoshop CC 2014 Camera Raw patch, install Fireworks CS6, and InDesign CC, but get this error on my new MacBook Pro:
The only instance of AAM that is running is the one that opens automatically when I click "Updates" in the PS Help menu. I've also tried it from the AAM widget at the top of my screen.
And before solutions are presented:
I have closed down EVERY instance of AAM first.
I have opened the Activity Monitor to make sure that nothing of Adobe was running in between each update attempt, just to make sure.
I have force quit everything Adobe that was running in between each update attempt, just to make sure.
I have tried it two ways:
Opened Photoshop, Clicked "Updates" in the Help menu, chose the update for "Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5 (CC)", clicked "Update" and still get the error.
I have quit Photoshop, ran Activity Monitor and checked Force Quit...launched the AAM Launcher Utility, See big red button at top that says "1 Update", click button, Click 'Update', put in my password, update still fails with same error.
It's a freaking loop of frustration!!! There is no end. It keeps telling me to close "ALL" instances of AAM, but there's not other way to apply an update for it. I try and just keep getting the same an error! Uggh! Someone please...PLEASE help!

Update Failed - You are already running the Adobe Application Manager....

I'm on Mac OS 10.8.4. When I try to update InDesign CC to the latest version, the Adobe Application Manager launches and give me the following error:
Update Failed
Updates could not be applied
You are already running the Adobe Application Manager. Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates.
So, I quit the AAM, verify that it's not running in Activity Monitor and relaunch it... to get the same error message. I haven't found a solution online, so I'm hoping someone can help me get past this.

Rfahl have you tried rebooting and then applying the update again? If so, and you still receive the same error, then you may want to try installing the update in Safe Boot mode. You can find more details for starting up in Safe Boot at OS X Lion: Start up in safe mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373.

Can not update- message says you are already running the adobe application manager - but it is not open

I'm trying to update Indesign and Photoshop. I get a message saying that the Updates could not be applied - you are already running the Adobe Application Manager - but I have closed everything. It may be related to the fact that today, about every 2 minutes, Adobe Creative Cloud Connection pops up. I have closed it numerous times, but it continues to open.

Terminate the process(es) in Task Manager/ Activity Monitor.

CS6 Design and Web Premium - Install Error "You are already running another installer,"

Hi
I have just downloaded CS6 Design and Web Premium and I have been having problems running the Adobe Installer on a Windows 8 HP laptop. The Adobe installer gets 75% way through the setup process and then stops with error message "Installerfailed to initialise".
I have run Adobe Support Advisor and the error message is "cpsid_82829s6: "You are already running another installer," bootstrapper error has occurred."
I have looked at the FAQ's and have done the following
I have checked System Resources -> Process and I can't see any other setup programmes running
I have run CS5 Cleaner tool and cleared out any older versions of adobe products
Rebooted the laptop
Tried running the Adobe Installer and the same error messages appear.
Submitted/packaged the Adobe Support Adviser - 40-85436-165301042013
I did prevousily have CS6 Cloud Trial running on the Laptop but all of the porgramms have been uninstalled and the CS5 Cleaner Toll appears to have cleared any remaining elements.
I would be grateful for some help and advice in sorting this out.
Kind regards
Steve

Hi
I have hopfully attached a PDF with screen shots of the process.
Hopefully will be of some help in resolving the problem.

Cant run adobe application manager

I am trying to run adobe application manager and cant ecause it wants me to logi to adobe avccount and keeps saying it cant access the iinternet to logion/ I am logged in without problejm Whe I tried to chat with tech another adibe pprobken started = I kept being bkoked friom te chat window whe Rea;l PLayer kept opening and trying ti uopdate I checked and saw that it had sonehow gotten itslef enabke because I DID HAVE a problem with it and it was disabked ] I disav=bled the tealplayerb again but it continued to open to update. The tech said it had something to do with flash player II have installed. I tried to download a new installation of fashbut it took so long to gt it to not gwet interrupted bt=that it would =not yun the install filefor flash. I am out of optiuions I could try tio dowload realplayer agan but it seemed fkash was the culprit since reqalpolayer is also mad with flash What sgiyks I do? Uninstalll realplayer? Uninstall Flash if possible:? Downloadingand reinstalling flash player seems to be impossible here as it timews oyut because the fash realplayrer stops it and adibe stopsb the download or the instll of new flash player. I seem to be caught in a catch 22.

Thank you for answering. I somehow did this and it worked. I don't know if I saw it here because it says message not seen.
I actually came to this window (inbox) when searching for another simple task that doesn't seem to have an answer that works. I really hope you can help me.
I just saw an answer u posted today. I never received a notice that it was here. Today, Adobe finally got revel fixed and I looked carefully at my account. When the app first opens in revel, I see briefly a few of the photos added from iphone. I then came to adoberevel.com to see if possible to upload from computer using just some type of add photos button in revel. I searched help and got an answer saying to click add
Qoute from answer:
"To add photos to your Revel account, just click "Add Photos" to upload or drag and drop the files from your computer.
To add your images to an Album
1. Click on "Select Photos" then select your images
2. Then click "Add to Album" & choose the album that you want to add your images to."
I searched every part of revel and cannot find any button anywhere to "add photos." I next tried the next answer to add inages to an album. I created a new album and did see the note in center of album screen which says "add photos or videos to this album." The link you need to click to do this does not work. I've been at this for hours, first spending a lot of time trying to get revel app to open, trying to find photos that show in browser in computer but not only fly by me and ultimately coming to computer to try to upload photos and nothing the support answer says actually exist or are functioning. on the computer revel site. This makes it impossible to buy a subscription which I want to do but this is really becoming too time consuming to continue.
Maybe the last resort answer will actualy exist, there is mention of using Photoshop or Elements to do this. I have both programs installed but do not know how to do this and again the support answer stops just short of telling enough to be able to do this.
I'm sorry to have to bother you with such a basic question. My real preference is to be able to just click add photos and as all programs do, the small window opens to select photos.
Thank you very much.
My email address in case you can let me know when you have the answer posted is: [email protected]

Download the Fireworks updater from here:

When you have downloaded and extracted the file right click and then click "run as Adminstrator".
It should work for you. I had the same issue and did this and everything worked,

Hi Guys
I am having a rather frustrating issue with my Photoshop CS6. I have been trying to run the updates for hours now as my Photoshop CS6 is slow and unresponsive. I have an i7 Mac and 16GB of RAM. it should not be slow.
Anyway.
I keep getting this error each time I try to run the updates.
I have:
Restarted
Repaired permissions
Reinstalled Adobe Applications Manager
Nothing works.
Pulling my hair out.

I have even tried manually downloading the update DMGs and doing it that way but the error persists.

Failed installation: How to rerun Adobe Application Manager updates for Photoshop CS6

Hi.
The installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 failed - while 2 others update for Photoshop CS6 did intall. I was installing Adobe Reader X .
That's why I discovered the notication from the application manager about updates for CS6 - and I just confirmed that as well.
Apparently the Reader installation blocked only the update installation of Adobe Extension Manager CS6 - saying another installation process was running ... such stuff happens sometimes.
However, it seems Adobes Application Manager update module does not track its failed installations? It does not automatically advertise that update has not been installed and notifiying me again to install it. At least not immediately ...
So how do I rerun the Adobe Application Manager update moduel to check for updates manually?

You go Photoshop CS6 > Help > Updates ...

It would appear that there is a problem with Adobe Application Manager. When I run Bridge(64) I run the HELP->UPDATE. The system will launch Application Manager and hangs. “Checking for Updates….” Icon spins and nothing that I can see happens. I will have to use Task Manager to kill it.
It also appears that I cannot install from my CS6 Installation disk. Will not except the S/N. My guess the count need to be reset. We are at 6 authorizations.
The problem: Ever since I stopped the CC Upgrade Special and deleted CC software I have not been able to get Adobe software squared away.

Trying to update thru Bridge. It gets into Adobe Application Manager and just clocks (Spins)
Things that Adarsh had me try:
Verified Serial Number
Had me type serial number instead of CUT and PASTE from my User Account
type it using keyboard carefully
do not copy paste
transferred call to technical department
Amit Kumar:
Verified Serial Number
Asked me what was wrong
open tinyurl.com/975597
After looking around he asks “Is it working fine?” – I’m still baffled at this question because he had not made any changes.My response:
Well no.. let’s check it out
1. bridge update, that would be no
2. CS6 installs? That would be No...
So what's the question?
Amit Kumar: When it is already install, then why are you installing it again.
Rod Chatfield: option 1 - Bridge is my 1st choice to work. If that does not work then I have to Re-load Adobe
Amit starts looking at various systems setting and web pages and we wind up on: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Before Amit could run anything I spoke up: “the last time a rep took me this path I had to rebuild my pc... Are you sure you are not taking me down that path?
Amit Kumar: I will just check adobe id credentials.
Rod Chatfield: get me to the next level of tech.
Amit passes me off to Udit
Udit Tuli: What is the issue you are facing?
By this time (at least an hr) I give a little push back (read the log plz) to which Udit replies, “So you are using CS6 Photoshop?”. Photoshop has not been even mentioned in the past hr.What happens next is the pinnacle of Adobe Customer support:
Udit Tuli: Then what is the product you are using?

Can't run adobe application manager

When clic on botton : open creative app on safari I receive a message saying I can't run adobe application manger. If I ask details it gives me a long list including this : KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000025
What to do?
Thanks

Albertos35110529 are you trying to install the Creative Cloud Desktop application or are you trying to open it? If it is already installed then you will want to open it from the Applications folder. You can find more details regarding the installation process at Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps.

Do all updates have to take place in Adobe Application Manager?

Upon opening some Adobe apps, lets pick Acrobat as an example, I get prompted to update to the latest version by a pop-up window with a click-to-download link. Do I do this or should I wait until the AAM tells me there is an update?
Will it cause issues to update from outside of the AAM?

Hi Ankertw,
It shouldn't matter whether you go to Help>Updates in the programs themselves or through the Adobe Application Manager, the result should be the same.

Could anyone help me with Adobe Application Manager please? I write my approved serial number but can´t go further?

I bought a Student version CS5 back in 2010 for my studies and it worked wonderfully until last week. Now when I try to open any of the Adobe programs, it takes me to Adobe Application Manager and asks for me to provide my serial number. When I write it, it´s approved but it still does not allow me to open any of the Adobe programs. Instead, it asks me again for the serial number. I called support and they confirmed my serial number is correct but they do not deal with CS5 over the phone anymore. Could anyone kindly help me through here please? Many thanks in advance.

When I try to open any Adobe program, "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard - Adobe Software License Agreement" pops up. I press "Agree" and then it takes me to the next part: "Provide A Serial Number" because my trial had expired. I had never agreed to a trial back when I bought the CS5 package because I had the package, of course. And I have never had any troubles/messages to access my Adobe programs until last week. I called Adobe to confirm my serial number and it is correct but then the person could not help me further because they do not deal with CS5 over the phone, hence asking through here. Once I write the serial number, I get a green tick saying that "This serial number will be used for: Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard". I then press "Complete" and it takes me all the way back to the "Adobe Software License Agreement". It has been this vicious circle over and over. I unistalled it, then installed it again various times using my serial number and ID, I don´t know what else to do and everyone I call they can not help me for some reason. So thank you very much for taking your time in helping me out.

After running Adobe application manager everything updated excpet for the following three errors.
