How do I get rid of Application Manager ????

[lanstrad]

I just rebuilt my entire system, reinstalled OSX 10.11.6 fresh, and for first time (on this system which used to work with PT 11) I have 12.8.1

However, there's this damn system hanger called Application Manager that keeps trying to load, waste my time, and be there when I don't want it. Been reading about complains on that for alsmost 2 years now... Please don'T tell me there is no way to get rid of this (at least set some preference *not to load' at every start up or log in ???)

DUC has many many posts telling you to uninstall this and telling you how. I can't believe you even tried to find those instructions.

And it's easy...

Find AppManager Uninstaller and run it.

Same with Cloud Client Services Uninstaller (assuming you don't want that ******** on your system either).

Thanks Darryl. Yes I agree I could have searched. Just have spent last few hours setting, resetting, installing stuff... And when I came to this, it was like the cherry on the cake... I like the ''********'' word by the way

Cheers,

I edit the launch agent PLIST and set the following:

<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>

You can find that file in your root directory under Library > LaunchAgents.

It's called: com.avid.ApplicationManager.plist

Is there an advantage to edit rather than remove? (Unless i eventually wish to change my mind - guess it always remain possible to update manually, unless there is an advantage i missed ?)

I've seen 3 ways so far. The 2 above, and Sweetwater give a 3rd one - simply flush 2 files/folders, but i'm slightly afraid on that one....???)
Thanks

I vote for removing...

In your Applications folder >> Avid_Uninstallers >>Application Manager >> AppManager Uninstaller.

While you're in the Avid_Uninstallers folder you may also want to uninstall "Cloud Client Services", unless you use them.
