If Updater6 is not already present, AUM attempts to create this folder under “/Library/Application Support/Adobe”. On launch, AUM first checks for the presence of Updater6 folder under “/Library/Application Support/Adobe”.

Adobe updater mac mac os x#
Adobe Update Manager (AUM) requires this value to be 775. This incorrect permission has been observed on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but AUM on any prior Mac OS versions can also run into this issue if for some reason admin group doesn’t have write permission on “/Library/Application Support/Adobe”. Apple Disk Utility's 'Repair Disk Permissions' function does not correct this problem, which is why the above command line correction is required under these circumstances. The introduction of MacOS X was a piece of genius that lured many of us away from Windoze, but if you are going to start acting like Microsoft you will lose our support and end up back where you were in the mid-90's.Incorrect permissions are set for /Library/Application Support/Adobe during installation on some machines. I do not like it any more than the way you make current iPods refuse to interoperate with older versions of Mac OS X, for no good reason, other than to force me to buy an unnecessary OS upgrade. I do not like you forcing me to have it in my application. Dear Apple, I understand that you want to make it easy for me to use your iTunes store. While we are about it, how can I remove that silly iDisk icon from the explorer, as I have no intention of signing up to iDisk, and how do I remove iTunes store, and iTunes match from my iTunes interface? Maybe I shall have to find a replacement for iTunes. I object to anyone else trying to take away some of that control. What idiots at these big companies think that by forcing us to run their silly utilities and making it hard to remove them they will get more business. Preview stands in for Acrobat reader, and I now use GIMP instead of Photoshop. I shall never again buy a single item of Adobe software. In the end I found every Adobe related file on my iMac, and deleted the lot.

I tried everything suggested on this page, and the blasted Updater still kept coming back. P.S.: not all of the above steps are completely necessary, but without knowing exactly what's going on on your Mac I could only come up with a complete procedure
