How do I remove the Adobe updater from the Mac menu bar?

Question

I would like to remove the Adobe Updater from my menu bar for my Mac, I found a lot of instruction to remove it for other versions of the updater, but the I can't find that option in the new CS6 updater.

If there is a way to completely stop the updater from running, that would be useful too.

I also don't understand why the updater say "4" in the menu bar, I only have Photoshop installed, and there are no update avaiable.

Have you tried adjusting your proferences from within the Application Manager?

If you open up the Application Manager and click the "Preferences" button at the bottom, there should be a check box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar". If you uncheck this, the Adobe icon should disappear from your Mac's top menu bar.

solution:

1) rename the new adobe cc updater in /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/ACC

2) now you can start the old one again

3) nename the new adobe cc updater app back to normal file name.
