WTH is wrong with Adobe update process?

Adobe products require so much and so frequent patching and updating and it and seems so unorganized and unprofessional. I find this pretty outrageous at this point.
It should be embarassing to Adobe that the Enterpise updating process is such a mess.
Why are the administrative installations still messed up so Volume License keys are made invalid if you attempt to update it?
Why are there no Update Catalogs for SMS, SCCM, SCE etc?
Why aren't there cumulative updates that can be installed over any previous versions?
Why are they not offering an WSUS-equivalent centralized update manager?

Acrobat products require less patching than MS products I believe. Most folks view scheduled quarterly updates as a good thing. Security patches go out as needed. Averaging about once per quarter I believe.
As of July 13, Reader updates are provided as a chained installer from the Reader Download Center.
SCUP support is coming in A10.
Managing Windows software is best handled via Microsoft tools--SCCM, SMS, GPO, etc.

What is wrong with Adobe Update Manager???!!!

Why in heaven's name can't Adobe fix their broken Update Manager?! Once again, the Update manager tells me that I have updates available, but the information is completely bogus. Two updates are listed: Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 and Illustrator CS5 15.0.2. The problem is that I am already running Photoshop 12.0.5 and Illustrator 15.0.2.
Is it really too much to ask that the Update Manager for this very expensive software work properly???!!!

I appreciate your reply, Steve. But it sounds like you're saying that the way to fix the Update Manager's whacko behavior is to tell it not to check for Photoshop CS5 updates. But that's its job! Still sounds broken to me. I understand that the 12.0.5 security update was issued "outside the AUM framework", but why do it that was if it was going to confound users?
For me, the same thing is still happening today—not just with Photoshop CS5, but also with Illustrator CS5. AUM tells me that the 15.0.2 update is available, but I am already running Illustrator 15.0.2.
It's not a temporary hassle, it's a permanent hassle because the AUM clearly cannot be trusted. It means that the only reliable way to update any of my CS5 apps is to manually go to the Adobe website and drill down to the relevant section for each CS5 app individually. This is shoddy customer service at its finest.

such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,

activate is grayed out. Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet" So I select "submit again" and nothing happens. Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

What's wrong with Adobe's Bug Management System?

I'd like to submit a bug in Flex SDK, but something is wrong with Adobe's JIRAs.
I can't login with my existing ID,
don't get emails trying to reset the password in case I type it wrong,
can't activate a new account as emails with confirmation never arrive.
I was trying following URLs:

Am I missing something?
Thanks!

... the reply can be interpreted in either way...
Anyway doesn't work for me from any computer, home or work.

Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, you must make sure you meet ALL of its system requirements.

Problem with Adobe Updater - WebPremium CS3

Hello. Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe's latest updates to CS3 on Leopard (Macbook Pro)? It seems to hang on the Flash update. The update caused chaos on my Macbook Pro, constantly writing crash logs as soon as I quit a process another started up. I resorted to a clean install (my 3rd since Leopard) and exactly the same thing happens when Adobe Update Manager kicks in and gets stuck on Flash 9.0.2 update even when running as root. I reproduced the same results on my G5 too so at this point I can only assume the problem rests with Adobe. Anyone else?

Aha, it seems to be Adobe's problem, the latest updates hangs on Flash

Problem with Adobe Updater

Recently reinstalled CS3. On first opening the system pulled down updates. These won't install. The updater is caught in a perpetual circle of trying to update and stopping. My instinct tells me this is something simple but I can't find a clue anywhere.
Version of the programme I'm trying to use at the moment is Photoshop CS3 Extended v10.0.1
OS is Win XP Pro SP3.
Microsoft updater performing fine but there is a similar glitch with MSFixit which was installed but will not update or re-install which I think is linked.
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you able to manually download and install updates?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, install in number order, updates are not cumulative http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Something is wrong with App updates. Help!

A little bit of background. I once had iTunes installed on my laptop and the HD died on me. Got myself a new PC with Win7 64-bit, reinstalled iTunes, used the same account name, etc. and re-downloaded all the purchased apps. Also got all previous authorizations canceled and the new PC is now the only authorised system for my iTunes account.
However, now I can't update the apps in iTunes whenever I open it on the PC. The "Check for Updates" now basically does nothing. There's no error prompt, nothing.
The problem here is that whenever I check for updates via "App Store" on my iPhone, it works and if there're updates available, they'll show. Unfortunately, given that files above 5MBs (IIRC) cannot be downloaded unless there's a WiFi nearby, it's useless as well.
Going back to my iTunes problem, in addition to that "Check for Updates" doing nothing at all, previously if there are updates available for download, a small number will show beside the Apps icon on the left bar. Now, there's no number at all which I think definitely correlates to that update check problem. I've checked my Preferences and the "Automatically check for available downloads" is turned on.
Sent an email to iTunes support once and since my warranty is already out, apparently I gotta pay to get an advice or have this problem checked. So, may I know what's wrong with the iTunes installed in my PC here?
Thanks.

nevermind...its over

Why am I not informed that another program will be downloaded with Adobe update

why an I not informed that Adobe update will install another program with in,such as McAfee.. I don't want programs that i don't choose myself

oh, you may be right.
when you go to the flash player web page, Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player you'll see the mcafee option. but if you allow auto-updates, you may not see that.
i never allow flash player to auto-update for that reason (and because i am a flash developer and use a different flash player version to debug web-based swfs). you have limited (or no) control over what happens when you allow flash player to auto-update.
i hate that and sympathize with the plight you went through. it happened to me once many years ago. i learned to never allow that again.
hopefully, you were able to uninstall mcafee and not have any residual problem-causing detritus left on your system.

Caution: something wrong with "adobe flash player"

Why all this people include me have so so many PROBLEMS with "adobe flash player" I never ever have problem to install on my windows7 64-bit anything til NOW!!!! Please, help and make it easy for everybody and avoid this confusion.WE ALL wants this work without taking our time.
Thank you so much for your time
Peace

Hi jh, I understand what you posted. However you are speaking of two different things. You said you had a 64bit Windows
computer. Now, with that computer, already built in, you have a 32bit also. What you are speaking of is different. You just posted the question if a computer that is ONLY a 32bit, can it be upgraded to a 64bit. No it cannot and what you posted is
correct.
Think of it this way, you have IE as your browser with your Windows computer, now you also have Firefox as a browser,
right? You have a 64bit computer and Microsoft INCLUDED a 32bit already installed in it. You can use the computer using
the 32bit or you can run it using the 64bit, just like you use your 2 different browsers.
Now did you do what I asked you to do? Please do that so we can get this settled! After you do that I have something
else for you to do.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Problem with Adobe Update Manager

Hi there
I'm having trouble with AUM. I have a MacBook Pro running OS10.5
I have been looking around the Forums and have tried various solutions such as going to an individual product's update page (eg Flash) manually downloading the update, but this does not work.
This is the message I get when AUM fails:

If you just open the Application Manager by itself, does it successfully update?
As for Illustrator, you can download the offline installer from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html (CC 2014).
Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

What is wrong with Adobe Downloader?

Ok so I wanted to download the cs6 photoshop trial. Downloaded the Adobe downloader, but then it does nothing. It will pop up, but no other messages. I try to sign in but as soon as I hit the enter key the downloader freezes and can only be closed via the task manager. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Here's what I've tried so far:
Uninstall and reinstall (8 times to be exact)
Also ran the cleaner tool
Installed the downloader to every possible location
Signed in before I downloaded the Adobe Downloader
Turned off fire wall
Deleted cookies
PS: the downloader gives me no errors at all.
None of these work.

I tried that but I get this error trying to download the second file (1.1 GB)
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/STAM/CS6/win32/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z?" on this server.
Reference #18.8f172cd0.1352890254.12e258d2
I don't recieve this with the other. As of right now this seems like a waste of time.
