After Effects CC "Updates could not be applied, Updates have been suppressed by the administrator"

MacBook Pro

Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)

I am the administrator of this machine with complete and full access.

Situation: 

I tried to open After Effects and received this notification:

Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 12.20.55 PM.png

I then proceeded to uninstall AE CC and reinstall using the Adobe CC Desktop App.

Upon trying to reopen AE, I received the same message.

I then started googling to troubleshoot and came upon this update:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5735&fileID=5749

Downloaded and proceeded to install which then brought up this issue:

Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 12.23.31 PM.png

Which then lead me to doing more troubleshooting via google.  I found this solution:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1369476

which suggests that I:

Delete or rename the  <Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

NOTE:  The file path works up until you get to the folder AAMUpdaterInventory.  The folder is wrong.  It is AAMUpdater (at least on my mac).


None the less, I proceed and delete the file.

I try reinstalling:

Adobe After Effects CC (12.2.1) update

And get the same message as before (shown above)

I RETRY the same solution but this time rename it.  Same resulting error.

I RETRY the same solution but this time utilize the terminal to find the file and delete it (per this suggestion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5878107)

Terminal can't find the files (for either spellings of AAMUpdaterInventory / AAMUpdater).

Further troubleshooting and I follow this solution:

http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2014/02/12/prevent-crash-on-export-with-premiere-pro-cc-adobe-me...

I uninstall and reinstall the Adobe CC desktop app.

Run the program.  Doesn't work.

Run the update.  Same Error.

I contact Adobe Customer Support.  I end up in a screen share with some Adobe representative with his previous customers computer screen still open in the screen share program, basically showing me everything on her computer... and the agent sits there pretty much helpless blaming her for 15 minutes.  Clearly helpful.  (breach of security?)

I have literally tried every avenue of troubleshooting to resolve this and it's beginning to seem hopeless.

Who's got some useful solutions for me?

Uninstall CC and AE

Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, reinstall Creative Cloud and then AE from CC.

Let us know if that does not work

The crash is because you're trying to use After Effects CC (12.0), not a version after that. You need an update to run After Effects on Mac OS X v10.9 (Mavericks):

http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/10/after-effects-cc-12-0-1-update-fixes-crash-on-mac-os-x-v...

If you can't install the updates, then contact Adobe Technical Support:

Todd,

Please read above.  I have tried multiple times to install the update and run into the same problem over and over that everyone else is running into in multiple threads.

Also, I have tried to contact customer service and they seem more lost than I am:

I contact Adobe Customer Support.  I end up in a screen share with some Adobe representative with his previous customers computer screen still open in the screen share program, basically showing me everything on her computer... and the agent sits there pretty much helpless blaming her for 15 minutes.  Clearly helpful.  (breach of security?)

I have literally tried every avenue of troubleshooting to resolve this and it's beginning to seem hopeless.

Do you have any other solutions or is this product just dead in the water for me?

Thanks.

I just asked someone on our technical support staff to contact you. They said that they got your voicemail. They'll keep trying.

Note that our first-tier customer support staff are not the same as our video products' technical support staff.

Todd — I'm having this exact same problem. Tier 1 support via chat in India is hopelessly ineffective.

The big question on my mind is after using CC Cleaner to de-install Adobe CC, why doesn't CC Desktop install the most current versions of the CC apps? AE is at 12.2.1, yet CC Desktop installs 12.0 which won't work on Mavericks.

Then insist on being escalated to a higher tier.

The base x.0 version is installed and then the updates are immediately applied. If something is preventing the update, that is where problems arise.

It looks like this error might be related to Creative Cloud Packager — my initial Photoshop CC install was done with it. It looks like the CC Cleaner app leaves something behind that prohibits updates from being applied even after a deinstall and then reinstall with CC Desktop.

I'm reinstalling with CC Packager now, but I've enabled updates for admin users.

Found this thread before found thread with solution that worked for me; so for people in similar situation as me:

Answer in following thread (at least for me): adobe application manager fails to update

"Problem solved:

I found the problem is due to AAME installing a pref file which DISABLES updates from working in CS products. The AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat file. This is quite a pain and

someone installing Adobe CS with AAME may not be aware that this file is being installed, making it very confusing for administrators.

The solution is to delete or rename the  <Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

Then run Update from Photoshop (or other app probably) and Update works.

Full details are on Adobe's website at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html"

Should add, file is located here in Windows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat"

Should also add that the file is created on first install and is useful - replace when update completed or modify line:

from: "

<Preferences>

  <Suppressed>1</Suppressed></Preferences>"

to

"<Preferences>

  <Suppressed>0</Suppressed></Preferences>"

NB: You will need admin rights for this.
