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?

Hi Jos,
Adobe creative cloud desktop does support proxy auto config file however you may need to open outbound for below Adobe links on your firewall.

My Creative Cloud Desktop app keeps crashing.

It starts up, but then crashes out after a few seconds. I've tried re-installing. I've used Cleaner Tool. Nothing seems to work.
I'm running CC on MacOS Mavericks although from what I can see in the forums, windows users have similar issues.
Does anyone know of a fix?

Have you tried the steps in :
CC Applications crash immediately after launch
Crash at launch | Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Can't launch | Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Prior to performing these steps, it always good to check the internet firewalls & security, administrative right of the user.
You can also contact Adobe Support.

Creative Cloud Desktop App crashes on new Mac Pro 2013

After using Migration Assistant to move apps from my 2010 MBP to a new Mac Pro 6,1 (OSX 10.9.1), I find that the Creative Cloud Desktop App consistently crashes right after entering my ID and password (whether started as a menu bar item or separate window). I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same result. Below is a partial crashdump (I have the complete listing available):

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 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.

Thanks again.

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,
Sanjeeta

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,
Atul Saini

Creative Cloud Desktop App stays black on installation

I 've been trying to install CC on my new laptop running Windows 8. Tried numerous times, including deleting the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE folder, but to no avail. The Creative Cloud Desktop App just stays black and I can't do anything with it. Can't log in, can't do anything. See this screenshot: http://s1.postimg.org/79xyw2hn3/CCerror.png
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

An Adobe rep just helped me out with this. It turned out that you had to specify the Graphic Setting for the Adobe CC App (this is in the Switchable Graphics Specification Settings).

The 'Apps' tab in my Creative Cloud Desktop app shows a Download Error

I have tried uninstalling, downloading, and reinstalling Creative Cloud Desktop and continue to get the Download Error prompt. It either shows the Download Error prompt or it continues to just think and think and think. All the other tabs work normally. I've also signed out and signed in of my CC account multiple times . . . with the same outcome.
All of this started after I had updated all the available updates . . . I was also looking to install Lightroom CC.

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.

My creative cloud desktop app does not show the programmes installed

My creative cloud desktop app does not show the programmes installed so I cant update lightroom or any other programme, have unistalled and reinstalled but no change

Hi Roni-
If you updated the desktop installer and the screen is blank: try this:
Rename the opm.db file.
Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
Launch Creative Cloud

Anyone have constant freezes when the Creative Cloud Desktop App is running?

Having a rather odd issue. I'm on CC 2014 latest versions. Mac OSX 10.9.5. Mac Pro 5,1 (12 core x 2.93, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 680).
Having total system freezes (no error messages or kernel panic) when the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager is running on a wired Ethernet Internet connection. Strangely, I get no freezes if I use wifi for my internet connection. If quit the desktop app, the freezing stops, as well. It's definitely locking up due to contacting Adobes servers in the background,
I did notice lots of errors by the Creative Cloud Application manager in the console, but apparently they are benign when using wifi. I'm guessing there is some kind of network conflict at play here, but I have no idea what Creative Cloud is doing in the background when contacting Adobes servers repeatedly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Using wifi is an okay workaround, but I'd rather be on gigabit Ethernet.

Hi Elba, Thank you for your time and effort in researching this. Unfortunately, the above method you describe is more than a little awkward. When one shows the Downloaded window, as you illustrate, that greys out all the individual categories. So, if I were looking for brushes, I'd have to check if I already had it by going to the downloaded window, then navigate back to brushes by first going to Featured or Recent, and then to Brushes, (even All Categories is not clickable, though it looks active). I'd also need to have a very, very good memory, or be going back and forth very often, with how close some brushes appear, and how similar their names are.
Instead, in a browser window, I go to my library from my adobe.com page, so I can see what brushes I have while the window where I can download brushes is open:
However, this still seems awkward to me. Adobe could grey out the icons to indicate they had already been downloaded, while still allowing them to be clickable and downloadable. I guess more code would be needed. I see examples of this every day in both Apple's app store, and Google's play store. For that matter, even the Adobe CC desktop app itself informs me of what Desktop Apps I have installed on each computer, and even whether they need to be updated. I guess, though, the situation for all of those is a bit different, not being quite so cloud-based.
