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.

  • Adobe Application Manager. Error: Updates could not be applied. You are already running the Adobe...

    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.

  • 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

  • How come some of the apps are missing from the Adobe Application Manager.

    When I downloaded the AAM for cloud it only gave 14 apps instead of the 26 apps to install.  What do I need to do to see all of the apps?  I have windows 7.
    Thanks,
    D.....

    Branched this out to a new discussion.  If you have programs missing it is likely that your computer does not meet the system requirements for that particular application.  For example if you are running a 32-bit operating system you will not be given the option to install After Effects or Premiere Pro since they require a 64-bit OS.

  • Update Failed: Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager to continue

    I check AAM in Activity Monitor. There's no AAM process. Who has any ideas of this issue? I manually download the install package. Run installer still pop up this kind of warning.

    Hey,
    Please try to reinstall Application Manager:
    Windows:http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773

    Hope it helps!

    I own an iMac 2011. I am unable to reinstall and launch premiere pro cc. We I attempt to run the program I get a error message saying that the adobe application manager is missing or need to be updated. I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

    Davinci thank you for the update.
    Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers.  Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.

  • 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

  • How do you download InDesign using the Adobe Download Manager?

    How do you download InDesign using the Adobe Download Manager?

    With the Adobe Download Assistant installed you should be able to initiate the download at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign.  If this is not working for you then please try an alternate web browser.

  • The Adobe Application Manager doesn't work, can't download trial software.

    I'm on a Mac, trying to download a trial of Acrobat Pro X, and as I hit download, it launches the Adobe Application Manager. Once it's launched, it keeps spinning the blue-gray squares round and round and nothing happens. Is there a way to directly download the file and install it manually?
    Cheers,
    Rita

    Ok, I tried and it has begun the installation.
    The first time, before I got to the end, it said 'The Adobe Application Manager is already running.'
    I was asked to quit, but there was no quit button, so I Force quitted it.
    Then I started the installation process again, and now I get this error message:
    The installation cannot proceed, because some of the processes are running.
    Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    I quit all Adobe products.
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Just completed a clean install of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and the Adobe Application Manager does not work and cannot install a fresh copy from Adobe

    Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy.  What should I do?
    I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM.  But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install.  It is like an infinite loop!
    Please, someone help!
    Thanks!

    HI gener7!
    I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud.  I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application.  My AAM version is:  8.0.0160
    The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work.  A window shows up during that install that says:
    We've encountered the following issues.
    Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to download Adobe Premiere in the Adobe Application Manager

    I just bought a subscription but when I went to download Premiere, the Application Manager popped up but there wasnt an option to download it on there. I just went and double checked that I have Adobe Reader, Flashplayer, AIR and Shockplayer already downloaded. Am I missing something else?

    Angelapetrelli45 please make sure you meet or exceed the system requirements for Premiere Pro CS6 listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.html#Ad obe%20Premiere%20Pro%20CS6%20system%20requirements.
    The Adobe Application Manager will not display applications which your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run.  This is the likely reason why you do not see the program listed within AAM.

    June 3rd 2014, I am seeing this. I am unable to reach Adobe server while packaging up Design and Web CS6. I have confirmed with Networking its not a firewall issue. Even stranger, our PC's are able to connect to the servers and update and download CC trials.
    We are using Casper and an internal software update server for Adobe. Does anyone have any advice?
