It said to go to Photoshop, then go to the Help menu and choose Updates.

Is it necessary to have the Adobe Updater icon on the menu bar If it is not necessary (if its function can be otherwise accomplished), I would like to remove it.

CC 2015, Yosemite 10.10.4.

You should get a window like the one below, uncheck Notify me of new updates in the menu bar.

It would be like asking Windows Update to update Dreamweaver for you.

The only time it will show in the menu bar is if there is an update you should run.

Personally I think you would be better off leaving it so you remember to update rather than turning it off.

Os X Remove Adobe R How To Restore It

However, having removed it from the menu bar, I cant figure out how to restore it.

At Applications, there are the following items: Adobe folder in which are Help, Widget Browser, Patch Files, and Flash Player; Adobe Bridge, AdobeDevice Central, Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, and Adobe Reader.

In none of them, including a search of the Help file, do I find Adobe Updater or simply Updater.

Os X Remove Adobe R Mac User Since

And Ive been a Mac user since when OS X meant 10.0 and still shipped with a boot of OS 9.

You have to manually open the App Store every so often to see if there are updates for those programs.

I personally think that is damn annoying and should be changed, but so far no change.

Anyhow, is there any way to completely remove the old pixelated Adobe Updater from the menu bar without completely removingbreaking the CC functionality (i.e.

Creative Cloud.app or deleting files).

The Preferences option (just under Creative Cloud) is greyed out.

I really dont think I should have to delete or rename files to remove an annoying Adobe icon from the status menu.

Updates window opens, theres a preferences button at the bottom of it (not where you usually find preferences on a mac).

Should put the option in the menu that opens up when you click on the icon.

I even tried removing the dumb App but the menu is still there but no longer works.

I wish Apple would take action against Adobe for their creepy nonstandard and invasive virus like installation system.

But I would suggest that you do it in such a way (like keep all the files and screen shots of where they should be) that you can restore it in case you regret it later.

The only thing I regret is my purchase, since I didnt authorize Adobe to inflict invasive malware on my Mac, but fortunately I can cancel that.

You go to UtilitiesAdobe Application ManagerUWAAAM Updates Notifier --store that in a safe place but remember where it came from in case you want to return it.

Also look in LibraryLaunchAgentscom.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist put this file in a safe place as well.

That worked for me.

If you have something like Little Snitch you can use it to find out the location of file that want to run on your system.
