Creative Cloud Desktop App Crash on Mac

Over the past several weeks, I've been experiencing major crashes across my CC Applications. I've traced it back to a crash of the Creative Cloud Desktop App - apparently if this crashes, none of my CC apps can be loaded.
Whenever it happens, I try restarting to no avail and then end up having to use the CC Cleaner Tool and re-install the Desktop App. Having done this multiple times now, I'm starting to get annoyed at the lost productivity. Is there something I can do to fix this, or is the CC Desktop app just buggy?
I don't know if I can run everything if I just uninstall it, but I like the centralized updating feature, so I would prefer to keep it.
Any help appreciated.
Info:
Current Version of CC - all apps up to date (mostly using AE and PP)
Mac Pro Tower, Mid 2010
2x2.4ghz Quad Xeon
ATI Radeon HD 5770
14GB 1066 DDR3
OS X 10.7.5

Thanks for this.  In the Cleaner App, I only saw Application Manager for OS 10.6 (other than my installed CC apps).  I cleaned this one only.  However after restarting, athough the cleaner said the uninstall was successful, I could not find any log file for the Cleaner App.  I still reinstalled the CC Desktop App, but with the same results.
Do I need to uninstall ALL the CC apps?
Thanks again.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app crashes

    Hi,
    I've downloaded and installed the Creative Cloud desktop app, but it crashed within 10 seconds of opening. I've tried deleting all the files and re-installing, plus signing in and out.
    I have a Macbook Pro with OS X v 10.7.5

    Hi stefano aloise,
    It seems that "Appdata" folder is hidden, we simply have to un-hide this folder.
    Solution 1:
    Please try :Show hidden files - Windows Help
    Solution 2:
    Click on start button
    Click on run
    Type : "%localappdata%"
    Then, click go to Adobe> OOBE.
    It should work.
    Thanks,

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App installer crash (Mac OSX)

    I wanted to update my existing CC Desktop App, but that didn't work out, so I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall. But that brought me into a whole other world of pain and tears.
    Basically, when I finally worked out where I could download the .dmg (hint: if you try to download the desktop app installer through chrome on mac, you'll get the .exe), and I ran the installer, and just says this: "Downloading Creative Cloud Desktop App" and then promptly crashes, leaving no trails behind. I cleaned my mac from old logs and whatnot, did not work. I ran Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, that just deleted all my existing CC programs so I can't even work with those anymore, but the cleaner provided nothing to let the Desktop app installer actually work.
    I have a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro "13, Mac OSX 10.9.5, 2.5 GHz i5, 8GB RAM. I've had virtually no problems with Creative Cloud, except After Effects 2014, which could never complete an update.
    I suspect I need some kind of "offline" installer for the Desktop app.

    SkyOtic if you are being offered an exe by Chrome then I would recommend reviewing your web browser settings and add-ons.  It appears that Chrome is currently identifying your computer as utilizing a Windows operating system.
    Please download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.  I would strongly you recommend the use of a different web browser unless you have corrected the behavior occurring within Chrome.
    If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend reviewing Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.

  • Why does Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app keep crashing?

    After loggin in to my account via the adobe Creative cloud desktop app the timer spins for a few seconds and then crashes without generating a report. I am on Mac OS10.7.5. I have done an uninstall of Creative cloud and reinstall of latest version. No joy. I have done a complete clean of Cloud using the app from the Adobe web site. After reinstall of Cloud problem still exists. I have renamed the OOEB file in Application Support so a new one is generated. Same problem. My loggin details work when I go into my account online. When I try to install apps from there it opens the desktop app and crashes. Any ideas?

  • Creative cloud desktop app blank - Mac

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing the issue with a "blank" screen when logged into the Creative Cloud Desktop. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the desktop app multiple times and still no screen or visible apps. Also, I followed the instructions in locating the OOBE folder... I was unable to locate the file suggested to change even after making all hidden files visible. In my recent attempt to locate this file the entire OOBE folder has been deleted (I am unable to locate this folder anywhere on my computer or trash) and I am still experiencing the "blank" screen when logged in. How would I go about fixing this all across the board? Would I need to reinstall all of adobe and its apps? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi Kandee_Leigh,
    Please try below steps:
    1> Uninstall Creative Cloud Desktop app. (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html#Uninstall apps)
    2> Navigate to the OOBE folder:
    Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    Note: The <user account>/Library/ folder is hidden after OS 10.7, follow the instructions here to access it: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    rename OOBE to OOBE.old
    Then install Creative Cloud from below given link:
    Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
    Please, let us know how it goes.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Does Not Work

    Since the last updates, the Creative Cloud Desktop app no longer works.  That is, I can no longer sync files, upload files, or update apps.  Everything with the Creative Cloud Desktop App used to work fine.  I am using Windows 7, 64 Bit system. 
    The files I try to upload through the desktop app, are under 5 GB.  Some are 10 MB.  When I try to upload a file I get a message that says: Sync Failure - with no detail about the failure.
    When the app tells me there's an update(s), when I either choose one update or update all I get a message that says: Update Failure - with no detail about the failure.
    I have tried to solve this problem by turning file and font sync off and then back on, or logging out and then back in.
    The Abobe Team, should test this product further.  I just want the community to know that this product does not always perform as expected.  Therefore, it's not always reliable.
    I would upload some screen shots, but after pressing the camera icon, the images would not insert.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App in English

    Hi all,
    I don't know if this was solved before and I've been looking for a solution but didn't found a clue.
    My CC desktop app is installed in to my mac but everything is displayed in english and it should be in Spanish. When I install any app (Photoshop, InDesing...) everything is ok and translated to spanish but the desktop app itself remains in english.
    The problem is that everything I have access to from the desktop app is in english (videos, turorials, help...).
    Is there any way to change the default language for the Creative Cloud Desktop app itself?
    My system is Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro, not the new one ;-D
    Thanks for any help.

    Preimpresion what language is your current User account set too?  What about the Root user account does it have the same language setting?

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Slows All Browsers

    True for both Chrome and Safari on a Mac, one running Mavericks and one running Lion. When Creative Cloud is active in the menu bar, the browsers slow down so much I can't even type an address in the menu bar without minutes of lag. Not seconds, MINUTES.
    I always have a browser open, and I want to be able to use Typekit fonts on my desktop through Creative Cloud - but now I can't do both. This has serious consequences for my work flow.
    I've tested this thoroughly, and it comes down to one thing: I can run a browser, OR I can run Creative Cloud Desktop. I can't run both. Please fix this, Adobe!!!
    UPDATE:
    The only way to get my system back to normal was to (yet again) uninstall the Creative Cloud Desktop app, run the cleaner, and re-install it. Simply deactivating the Typekit fonts still left me with a laggy, hanging, slow CC app. So - the problem is either Typekit or the CC app, or a combination of the two. What a freaking pain. This stuff is supposed to just work.

    Hi J,
    I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. This is the first we've heard of this issue. However, I'd like to see if we can figure out what's causing it. Would you be able to drop us a line at: [email protected]?
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  • Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop App in Mavericks

    I have posted a couple of times about this but no one seems to be answering. There seems to be a bug with the Creative Cloud Desktop app and Mac OS Mavericks.
    I have the newest version of them installed on a brand new MacBook Pro and I have had problems ever since with the connection to the Creative Cloud when I wake the MacBook Pro from sleep. Often I will have a red exclamation point on the icon in the menu bar because it can't connect to see if there are updates to the apps. Or the Behance tab will show that the last time my Behance feed was updated was a long time ago.
    If I quit the Creative Cloud application it will connect with no problems and update the Behance feed and any apps that need updating. But once I put the MacBook Pro to sleep and wake it again I have the connectivity issue.
    This is becoming a huge pain to have to quit the Creative Cloud all of the time. Would someone please offer up a suggestion. Is this a known bug that Adobe is working on? If not, how do we let them know about it?
    I have tried re-installing Creative Cloud but that did nothing. This didn't start happening until I got Mavericks on a new laptop.
