Hi, my application manager keeps quitting every time I try to log into my updater, any suggestions or help on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

I use a  Mac 10.8.4

Looks like the Adobe Application Manager has gone corrupt. We might need to re-install AAM Lets try the below steps:

  • Download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
  • Extract and run it.
  • Select "e" for English.
  • Hit "Y" for Yes if asked.
  • Select Option 3 for Creative Cloud.
  • Then select Option 1 for Creative Cloud Installer.
  • Rename the OOBE folder to OOBE OLD from :

               Mac: MAC HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe

               Win: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\

  • Also, If there is a process running named 'AAM Update Notifier' or 'AAM Registration Notifier' . Kill those processes and try to install Adobe Application Manager again and check.
  • Download and Install the latest version of Adobe Application Manager from the below link :

Thanks, this worked for me by just using the last link in the first response. That updated AAM and things started working properly.

Well, this hasn't worked for me to re-install LR6 after an upgrade on my MBA to OS10.11. I have downloaded and re-installed AAM a couple of times and still get the "Adobe Application Manager quit unexpectedly" message after typing my password to connect with registration at Adobe. BTW, I was able to get my CS5 reinstalled ONLY after I spent a lot of time removing all files that had adobe or one the  adobe app names in the filename. Still, I couldn't do any updates on the CS5 apps until I downloaded and installed each individually - doing it from within, e.g., Photoshop, just wouldn't work. Are there any other suggestions?

I don't have the Adobe Creative Suite Uninstaller file (no CS no CC). I am subscribing to the Cloud using Photoshop 6 CS and that installed fine. Trying to get Illustrator and the App Manager keeps quitting but I don't see those files you speak of.
