AAM overview. If you have a Creative Cloud membership, the Adobe Application Manager will automatically update to the Creative Cloud desktop app, as long as you are running Mac OS 10.7 or later, or Windows 7 or later. If you are running older operating systems, such as Windows XP or Mac OS 10.6, you'll use the Adobe Application Manager (AAM).

Some time ago, for some reason this Mac Pro (2010) suddenly stopped going to sleep through the normal method, so I've had to devolve to pressing the power button to put it to sleep.

I’ve just found the name of a process that can't be removed from my menu bar in OS X.
Its name is 'AAM Update Notifier' and I was able to quit it using Activity Monitor. How can I make sure it doesn’t start again next time I restart my computer?

If it's not in System Preferences → Accounts → Login items, there's probably a Launch Agent set up for it.
There are two ways to deal with this problem.
1. Delete the Launch Agent entries
According to this process information, you should delete the following file(s): Cyber cafe software.
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist
You could also edit them:
- Where
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
is<true/>
, change it to<false/>
.
2. Disable the update process
This article suggests to run the following command:
You should maybe log out and log in again.

Adobe's website has instructions for turning off AAM (for Creative Suite 5 'CS5') that are different than the techniques described above. Adobe's technique involves putting a small text file with some given text at special places.
Aam Updates Notifier Mac Not Optimized
For computer-wide blocking, put the text at
[startup disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
Or for user-account blocking, put the text at
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0/AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat
See the adobe page (linked above) for the text that goes in the file: it differs depending whether you're doing this before or after installing CS5.

It seems the Adobe Update Notifier sometime autolaunches on startup, however I cannot find where it's launched from. I've checked in Lingon as well as my login startup items but it's not there.
Any idea where else it could be? The full process is:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/UWA/AAM Updates Notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/AAM Updates Notifier -psn_0_127007

The updater is registered with the system service
launchd
. Instructions to completely disable this can be found on The real way to disable Adobe Updater from your Mac OS X:Open a Terminal window and type the following commands:
Note that depending on your version of Adobe programs, some of the above lines may generate errors. That's fine.
If the above does not disable it, you may need to remove it at a system level. You'd use the same commands as above, but with two additions/changes:

This sort of file can also be manually deleted from the LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons folders in the /Library Folder - with Administrator privileges. This is where the intrusive apps like Adobe often install things--and sometimes apps that are really trustworthy. It's not a bad idea to look through these folders now and then, to see what might have been installed.
There is also a LaunchAgents folder in your User library, where agents sometimes get installed that you can simply trash if especially not wanted.
It is never a good idea, however, to mess with anything in the System Library.

There is an additional thing that may be good to try with Adobe Manager: remove the Adobe Manager application from your Mac. After you do the steps below, you will receive a message that Adobe Manager is not installed in your computer when you start any Adobe software, but it will start normally. Please, find below the steps.
Aam Updates Notifier Is Not Optimised For Your Mac
- Find where Adobe manager is installed. When the Adobe Manager application is running, you can find its path location listing the processes of OS X. The command in terminal is ' ps aux | grep Adobe' . After this command you will see all Adobe processes that are running in your Mac.
- Find the location of processes that have ' Adobe Manager ' in the line. Probably the files are in the folder called 'Utilities' or something similar. If you have Dreamweaver or another Adobe application opened, it will be in the list too but you choose only the ones that have 'Adobe Manager' in the line.
- after it you have deleted the folders with Adobe Manager in the name. you can do it with Finder or in Terminal with the command ' sudo rm -R '
