On Oct 20 I updated Photoshop CC, and during the update it asked me if it could install an updater to monitor my CC apps. I allowed this to happen. Two hours later, Win 8 tried to update and failed for the first time, giving me a message that Windows could not configure features. I figured it was the newly installed monitor from Adobe that caused the problem so I found the file and disabled it. The file's name is AAM Updater 1.0. A couple of hours later, Windows updated itself with a huge update. I have left the Updater disabled to avoid having the problem again.
Is AAM Updater a necessity for keeping Photoshop updated or active? Do I have to have it running in the background ALL the time? If so, and if it prevents Windows from updating, how can I work around the problem?
My Windows 7 has updates. When it does this, Photoshop will not run. I have reverted the PC back before the update and Photoshop runs fine. The only thing is that the PC will update itself unless I turn the automatic updates off. Photoshop CS2, running on Windows' 7 Home Deluxe edition.
I was working in Corel PaintShop Pro x4 when I noticed that there was an additional tab that was named the same as the file that I was currently working on but they were numbered 1 and 2. As I work on one file the other updates at the same time. I tried selecting "duplicate" under Windows but this duplicates the window as "Image #" and does not update when I change the original file.
I got calls from 3 of the DRAW users that some of the fonts are not displaying correctly since they have updated their Windows today. I have not yet connected my laptop to internet. Shall check it and try to identify the culprit update.Few fonts known for not displaying correctly since today.
Just got a notice that there's an update available for PS CS6 through the cloud. It churns and rumbles for several seconds and then tells me there's an error. See... for details. The details don't tell me anything I understand. (U44M1P7) Then clicking 'see details' takes me to a folder of log files that are all Greek to me.
Ironically, the description for the upgrade in the cloud window says its for 'bug fixes'... Looks to me like the 'bug fixer' is bugged itself! Are some of the government web contractors/programmers working for Adobe now?
I just installed the update for Photoshop CS4 and started removing CS3 from my computer. I deactivated CS3 then used Add and Delete Programs to proceed. Instead I got a window that says I must first stop Adobe Updater from running but I can't figure how to do that and I can no longer go back to CS3 to see if I can find it there. What do I do now?
Recently the updater on my version of CS2 started telling me that there was no internet connection, and to check my firewall and connections. Having recently installed a new firewall I spent some time checking that out, together with various other pieces of protective software. Despite ensuring that the CS2 applications (including the updater EXE) had the necessary permissions, I still wasn't able to automatically access the Adobe updates.
After puzzling for a day or so, I checked back on installations and changes to my PC over the previous couple of weeks, and realised that I'd started to try out Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3, at about the same time as I'd installed the new firewall. After removing the IE7 update, and returning to IE6, the Adobe updater started to function again.
I did a quick search to see if anyone else had posted regarding this, but couldn't find anything, so thought I let you know in case anyone else is thinking of installing Beta 3. I have emailed Microsoft to make them aware.
After installing CS2 on my new Vista computer when I start Photoshop I get the message "The Adobe Updater could not be started, please reinstall application and components." Knowledgebase ID 331634 offers solutions for Windows 2000 and XT, but not for Vista.
when using CS2 (and possibly previous versions, I can't remember) there is a folder titled 'Updater' that is automatically created everytime PS is opened. Is there a setting that I can change that will prevent this from happening, or maybe just change the path to which the folder is created.
I'm running Photoshop CS3 on Mac version 10.7.5. Every time I open PS I get the error message "adobe updater quit unexpectedly". Once I click out all I see is a white box for "Adobe Web Suite Premium CS3" that is blank. It can only be minimized - not closed. Everything else in PS is greyed out and unusable.
Error message (No connection - Please check you internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection....)
I have attempted to check all internet settings in my Google Chrome browser and in the Windows firewall I have included it as an "Allowed Connection". Still no joy, unable to connect and of course no updates?
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and recently installed it on my new Vista system. During normal use, I log in to Windows as a non-administrator, as recommended for security purposes.
Each time I launch Photoshop, it wants to check for updates, and asks for administrator privileges to do so. This is very annoying, first because I then have to enter my password for the admin account each time, and second because I don't need to check for updates every single time I run the program.
I can instruct Windows to run photoshop.exe as an administrator each time it runs, which fixes the annoying problem of it checking for updates, but it still means I have to enter my administrator password each time I want to run Photoshop. Surely there is a good solution to this problem? I'd be happy if I could just instruct Photoshop once and for all to "do not check for updates". I have this option set and it seems to work when I run it as an administrator but when I run it as a non-privileged user, it still insists on checking for updates.
I tried to install the update with Adobe Updater and it failed with error code U44M1P7.I then downloaded the update patcht directly from the site and tried to install. Again error code this time U44M2P7.
Product: CS4 64 bit: Adobe Output Module-Adobe updater downloads 2 updates 75.9mb (Camera Raw 5.3). After download and permission to continue under user account control, I receive popup menu advising me that Installation Incomplete, close Adobe Bridge - 3 choices, which always fail. My Adobe CS4 and Bridge are not open. I tried this several times with the same result.I downloaded the zip file, saved, unzip, and still get the same notice - close Bridge.
Can't get the updates from Help Menu. Get a message that the Server might be offline temporarily or Internet or firewall setting might be wrong.I'm a number of updates behind and some things I want to do from LR don't come over correctly to PS. if I should reinstall.
old computer crashed. Loaded CS5 onto new computer but unable to get updates! I need to get camera raw! The tech support person told me to uninstall and reinstall and that would resolve the issue- well, it did not and I do not have another few hours to wait on hold- any thoughts? I was able to have it deactivated from my old computer.
I installed some updates the other day and... I don't know why something has gone wrong and I can't work anymore cause ps keeps crashing anytime... so, how can I uninstall the updates and try to reinstall them?
I installed the CS3 Extended trial. I then purchased a hard copy of CS3 Standard and I entered the product key and activated CS3. When I go to Help, Updates, it finds two updates I need - Flash Lite 3 Update for Device Central and ExtendScript Toolkit 2.0.2 (I already have Device Central and Toolkit 2.0.) When I try to install the two updates, I get the message saying they cannot be installed and that I need to uninstall my software and reinstall it and then try the updates again. Do I really need to uninstall CS3 and reinstall it?
how to handle Adobe updates in CS3 so that you are informed about the updates but can choose when to install them? I recently downloaded the trial version of CS3 and today it updated a number things automatically. I would rather have the option to update and install on my preference.
I recently installed Photoshop CC and the CC app recently updated both my own CS6 and CC. I find that I now cannot resize images using the "image size" dialog. Any changes I try to make in dimension or resolution are ignored.
Before, I simply entered the resolution and size I wanted for the image. Now I cannot .I have tried suggestion here: e.g., deleting pixels when cropping, etc.
I previously had a few CS5 apps installed. They were volume license versions of some sort available through the school I was working at. (I don't know the details of the installation — the school network guys did it for me.) In these apps, the Update command was also unavailable ... I sort of assumed it was something odd with the install (maybe the update manager was not included) so I downloaded and installed updates manually from Adobe.com.
I have since left the school and dumped the apps. I just picked up a personal copy of Photoshop CS6. I find that the "Updates" command is still unavailable, but this is a regular install so I am crying foul.
I found this page about disabling the update manager for CS5 and CS6. I checked and sure enough I had a copy of AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with updates suppressed, as mentioned in the article. Must be left over from my previous CS5 install, as I sure have never touched that file myself. However, upon removing it, my "Updates" command is still not available.
Is there some other way that updates can be disabled that I have not found yet? Is there a way to launch the update manager outside of the application?
Can't believe it makes one iota of difference but am using WIN7.Is there any reason not to delete old folders in Lightroom and PS when I upgrade or install later versions.
Example: I have 5 folders of updates (plus 4.2) in my Adobe folder for Lightroom starting with 3.4 up thru 4.1.Can I just delete everything except 4.2? I have PS CS6. Can I delete the CS5 folder?
Since I installed Photoshop CS6 on my Mac OS 10.8, I haven't been able to successfully install an update. Every time I get the error U44M1P6, which tells me to try installing the update manually. Which I do, and I get the same result.
I have been asked if I've changed anything in Photoshop's folder or something similar, and I haven't done anything to it besides installing one extension using Extension Manager, and keeping Photoshop's icon on my dock.
I'm trying to update my newly purchased and installed PhotoShop CS 5.5 on my iMac (less than a year old) using the "Updates" link..I get an error that says, "Update Failed. Updates could not be applied. Unable to write at location "Users/[my computer name]/ Library/Application Support/ Adobe" provide write permissions to this location and try again."I can't tell if it is a PhotoShop issue or a write permission issue on my iMac.
I have CS5 and wonder if there is a SIMPLE way to check to see if it needs any updates since the newer software version of Apple was applied to my computer. The website seems extremely confusing unless you know exactly what you need and what you are looking for. Photoshop has begun to run slower on my IMAC.
