Troubleshoot Adobe Application Manager problems or failures
If AAM doesn't launch (that is, nothing happens when you start Adobe Application Manager), see Troubleshoot launch issues or problems — Adobe Creative Suite 5 and CS5.5 products (cpsid_83223).
If you are prompted for proxy server information on launch, enter the requested information. For assistance, contact your system administrator.
Verify that you have an Internet connection. If you have any firewall software, temporarily disable it or allow Adobe Application Manager access to the Internet.
If your computer is behind an authenticating proxy server, and your user name or password have multi-byte characters (Japanese, Chinese, and so on) then the updater is unable to connect to the network. Connect without the proxy or connect with credentials that are in ASCII characters.
Verify that the update has not already been applied: Launch the Creative Suite product and choose Help > [Product Name].
If AAM freezes when you apply an update, download and install the update manually. If you're trying to apply multiple updates, download and apply them individually. See Manually update Creative Suite 5 or CS5.5.
To troubleshoot updater installations problems or failures, try the following, in order:
- Search the knowledgebase for errors.
Use any additional information that appears below the error, 'The following updates were unable to install..' to search for a solution in the Adobe Knowledgebase.- Select the error information and press Ctrl + C (Windows) or Command +C (Mac OS) to copy it.
- Visit the Adobe Support website and choose your product from the Select Product Support Center menu.
- Paste the error text into the Search The Knowledgebase field and click Search.
Note: Omit file paths and registry keys from the search string.
Identify errors in the installation logs.
The Adobe Creative Suite 5 installer records all errors and actions in two log files. You can use the logs to search for solutions in the Adobe Knowledgebase. See Troubleshoot CS5 and CS5.5 installation with install logs.Perform general troubleshooting steps
