Why is Adobe Application manager open in dock

Now overtime I open Lightroom 5 in Yosemite, the icon for Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is open in the dock. Clicking it does nothing. Interface is not seen. Stays there even after Lightroom quits.
even if I right click and quit it does not go away.

Hi Kvora711
I would suggest to use the Adobe uninstaller or the Adobe Clean tool to remove the older Adobe Application manager.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
Then install the updated Creative Cloud
Thanks

Downloaded the 30 day trial, but when I try to open it "Adobe application manager" opens, and nothing happens. Help!

I've tried several times now, but every time I try to open Premiere Pro the Adobe application manager opens, and nothing more happens.

Okay, I'm a super-noob, so please bare with me. This is what I've done so far...
*Installed the 30 day free trial version of Premiere pro CC (2014), which led me to install "Adobe creative cloud". From there I installed Premiere Pro.
*When I double clicked on the Premiere Pro icon after successful installation the icon only appeared briefly on my dock before it was replaced by the "Adobe application manager" icon. No new windows appeared and nothing happened.
*I then tried to uninstall Premiere Pro, but the uninstall window looked broken. There was only "-" symbols where there was supposed to be text.
*Since I didn't know what to click on in the uninstall "guide" I closed it down and dragged the entire Premiere Pro icon to my waste bin, and the emptied it.
*Thought I'd try to install the trial version again, and that something might have gone wrong the first time around. When I tried that I was only redirected to the Creative cloud where the Premier Pro icon is still listed under installed apps.
*I then tried to uninstall Creative cloud and re-installed it in hopes that it would update and let me install Premiere Pro again, but the damn thing still thinks I have Premiere pro installed.
I'm really frustrated now, and have no idea what to try next. If adobe had some kind of phone support I'd call them, but this is the only place I have found when I try to click on support.
Please help if you can. I'm attending a course soon where I need to have premiere pro installed on my mac.

Illustrator cc 2014 will not open, instead adobe application manager opens

I downloaded creative cloud and downloaded the trial for illustrator cc 2014, but when i go to open the app, the icon bounces a couple of times and then disappears and the adobe application manager comes up, but doesn't open? so how do i open the ******* illustrator app

Why does Adobe Application Manager fail to install?

I just subscribed to the Creative Cloud. I am trying to download applications. The download starts with an update to Application Manager. Each time, I get the error message,"We've encountered the following issues: Adobe Application Manager failed to install." I'm not able to install any of the CC applications. [I've tried Acrobat and Photoshop.]

I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
Step 8: close the black window
Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773 and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
Step 10: Run the application
Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps. I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever. Each tech person gave me different information. The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer. If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out!

When I install CC, only Adobe Application Manager opens?

When I try to install Adobe Creative Cloud, only Adobe Application Manager starts running. The actual CC-panel (like this: https://helpx.adobe.com/no/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-desktop/_jcr_content/main-pa rs/procedure/proc_par/step_0/s…) does not appear. Could anyone help me?

StineKJell,
For Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow leopard, Creative Cloud desktop Application is not compatible. It is compatible with Mac 10.7 and above.
10.6.8 works with Adobe Application Manager only. That is the reason, irrespective of how many times you try to install Creative Cloud, it will install Adobe Application manager.
See this help link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html#System requirements

How do I open the updates window in "Adobe Application Manager"?

How do I open the updates window in "Adobe Application Manager"? Or can I or should I....??
I am a brand new Cloud member. I heard of the Retina update. Assuming this was where the updates would logically appear I went to the "Adobe Application Manager" app first. Without closing the "Adobe Application Manager" I opened Photoshop and went to the help menu and selected "Updates..."; a second window opened in the already open "Adobe Application Manager".
I selected update all.
The result is below:
DW CS6 12.1 Creative Cloud
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I200
Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1 update to address critical issues

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 6.0.2 Update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I200
Now, I closed the "Adobe Application Manager" and opened "Photoshop" again and again selected "Updates..." from the help menu. The "Adobe Application Manager" opened again with just one window this time and the updates happened correctly.
I was hoping one of the updates would be to the "Adobe Application Manager", I don't think so.
So, If I were you I wouldn't select "Updates..." from an Adobe app unless the "Adobe Application Manager" is closed until they fix it...
Current version: Adobe® Application Manager - Version 7.0.0.128 (7.0.0.128) Note the Two windows in the "Adobe Application Manager" in the attached image.

The updates are currently available by going to Help>Updates within the Application. Once you invoke the Updater, which is a component of the Adobe Application Manager, it will locate and apply the updates. It looks like most of your updates have failed to install. I would recommend you begin by trying to apply the updates that are available on our product update page at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and seeing if you face the same difficulty.
If you continue to experience problems with applying the updates then please review your installation log to determine the cause of the failure. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

I can't log-in to Premiere Pro & keep getting stuck in an Adobe Application Manager sign-in loop

I am currently unable to load Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects.
When I click to open them the Adobe Application Manager opens up, asks me to sign-in (which I do) and then it tries to open PP (the PP icon on my Mac bounces up and down) but then it disappears and loops me back to the Adobe Application Manager.
I was speaking to an Adobe Support officer on Live Chat the other day and he dialled in to my mac but couldn't fix it. He said he would escalate the issue and told me to expect a call back within two days. Frustratingly no-one has called me back and the issue remains.
I have uninstalled all the apps and the Creative Cloud and then re-installed them but that hasn't helped.
I would be really grateful if anyone had any suggestions as I have an important piece of work that I have to get done by tomorrow.
Many thanks
Greg

What's the point of Adobe Application Manager?!

Why is Adobe Application Manager telling me I have Lightroom 4.3 and it's up to date but when I launch it it's version 4.1 and the application tells me there is an update? This then sends me to a clunky, manual download link in my browser.
AAM Also tells me that Muse is up to date and again when I launch the app it tells me there is an update.
And although I already have Edge Animate and Flash Builder installed AAM has an install button next to them as if they aren't already installed.
What exactly is the purpose of the update function in AAM or indeed AAM itself? Because at the moment it doesn't really seem fit for purpose.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Hey Steve,
It should list and install Lightroom 4.3 in AAM for paying Creative Cloud members
If it doesn't you might need to update your version of AAM
Macintosh: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
Please try installing that version and see if it helps.
Was this the document you followed for uninstalling?
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/manually-remove-lightroom.html
This document probably needs to be updated to say that there is actually an uninstaller when Lightroom is installed through AAM for Creative Cloud customers. The uninstaller should be located at
Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers
Could you test running the uninstaller (if you see one) and then installing again through AAM?
Let me know how it goes,
-Dave

Adobe Application Manager quitting

I am trying to download a trial of Illustrator, however my adobe application manager opens but then "quits unexpectedly" when I try to start the download. Any tips?

Yes, at first I tried to download the trial from the link below. I also tried with the link you just provided. Both times I get an error message - Error 205. From there I found that using the Adobe Application Manger should solve that problem, but the application manager keeps crashing. When I click on the "download trial" button in the link below, the application manager opens briefly but crashes after a few seconds.

When I try to open Illustrator it opens Adobe Application Manager, but it does not open any window, why does this happens?

Hi I am trying to open Illustator CC 2014 but it only opens Adobe Application Manager but it does not open any window. It's on a mac. Please help!!

Hi Henry,
Can you please also confirm the Mac OSX version?

Premiere Pro, Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager all wont open.

One day it was fine, the next it's not. My Premiere Pro, Creative Cloud & Adobe Application Manager all wont open.
No error messages, it just doesn't open. I can't get through to talk to staff (because why should you be able to right? You only pay for the service..)
Could someone please shed some light on my situation?
My Lightroom and Photoshop are running fine as normal. I wish I could provide more information but it's really that simple - none of it will open.
Thank you!

At this point, I think I'd just download & run the Adobe CC Cleaner app, and use it to uninstall & clean up your PrPro & the Creative Cloud desktop app itself ... then download a fresh copy of the CC desktop app, install & sign into your account, then download & reinstall PrPro ...

Adobe Application Manager keeps opening/closing?

Hello.
Installed 6 copies of CS5.5 Design Premium this weekend on some machines in our studio. Did all the updates, etc. and everything was fine. Now, on 3 of the machines, every minute or so, the Adobe Application Manager pops up in the dock, then dissapears after a few seconds (nothing opens on-screen or anything). Anyone know what's causing this?
Regards,
Kristin.

Hello ducky,
as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. 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.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
