Hi Guys,

I'm working on Photoshop and a window keeps popping up asking to open "CS5ServiceManager", its driving me nuts, if I ignore it interrupts my work, I cannot install it since I'm using OSX Lion DP3..

Anyone know a fix for this??

I used Lingon and disabled it.
It is located here:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS4ServiceManager/CS4ServiceManager.app/Contents/MacOS/CS4ServiceManager

Of course replace my CS4 with your CS5

You can also just download the Java installer from the Apple Developer site.

I think it still appeared even after the java runtime install. I can't remember why I disabled it, but I would think I would have installed the java runtime enviroment first before disabling it.

It still comes up after the Java install, every minute, which completely stops any work from being done. I've had similar issues with nearly all Java downloads that 10.7 requires me to download, sent report tickets for each one to apple, but needed a quick fix for this one!

damn, I did disable it via Lingon but without success so I just renamed CS5ServiceManager folder to whatever - ##CS5ServiceManager and it stopped annoy me, thanks..

I disabled it with Lingon.

In Lingon, go to the User Agents section. Disable both com.adobe.AAM.Startup-1.0 and com.adobe.CS5ServiceManager

God how I hate adobe now! They think they're an operating system that needs to constantly check to see if my software needs an update patch. Adobe, IDK IF MY SOFTWARE IS NOT UP TO DATE! And rather than do it when the software is running, they install a separate application that is always running and always checking something I never wanted in the first place. If I want to update my 3rd party software, I'll manually do it myself. Don't install a spyware-like app to eat up my processor cycles, battery life, and bandwidth! Plus, what's up with invading my utilities folder with all your 5 or 10 different crappy update apps? Your software isn't important enough to be in my utilities folder alongside my system utilities.

Thanks Lingon worked, but....

I downloaded Lingon and it worked perfectly.

I wanted to save space, so if I deleted Lingon from my computer, will that allow for the CS5 Service Manager message come back? Or will it be diable for good?

I disabled it with Lingon.

Lingon is no longer developed. The quick, manual way to disable the Adobe crapware is to:

sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.*

HTH.

Late answer.

Open up the Terminal app
(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)

Go to the directory
/Library/LaunchAgents/

by writing

cd /Library/LaunchAgents/

and press ENTER

Remove all plists for Adobe
Like:
- com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist
- com.adobe.CS5ServiceManager.plist

by writing

sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.*

and press ENTER

You will be prompt to provide your password which is the administrator password. After writing it, press Enter.

Close the terminal
By pressing

cmd+q

Done!

There are an additional thing that it is good to do relating Adobe Manager. Remove Adobe Manager application from your Mac. After you do the steps bellow, you will receive a message that Adobe Manager are not installed in your computer when you start any adobe software, but it will start normally. Please, find bellow the steps.

1. Find were 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.

2. Find the location of processes that have " Adobe Manager " in the line. Probably the file are in the folder called "Utilities" or something similar. If you are with Dreamweaver opened, or another Adobe application, it will be in the list too but you have to consider only the ones that have "Adobe Manager" in the line.

3. after it you have to delete this folders with Adobe Manager in the name. you can do it with Finder or in Terminal with the command " sudo rm -R <Adobe manager location path> "

I hope it helps.

This trouble appeared for me after updating to El Capitan. The solution was downloading the free version of ccleaner. Click Tools, then click Startup and Remove cs5servicemanager.
