Creative Cloud Desktop App refuses log-in for Windows 8

I've been getting this "unknown server error" for 4 days on my windows 8 creative cloud desktop app. I cannot install other CC aps until you resolve this.
-- This has been a problem ever since creative cloud FORCED me to "upgrade" the creative cloud desktop app last weekend.
The Desktop CC app worked fine before the forced upgrade.
The error looks like this on my screen...

To solve the problem, you must explain how do I get the upgrade creative cloud app to read my correct log in info?
I'm using windows 8, AND I've already tried the following...
1. re-installing creative cloud from the creative cloud website (did it 4 times now)
2. changing the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE_old" (did not work)
3. I also tried installing this exe: PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe , which did not work

Hi Terranovascreen,
Which OOBE folder have you renamed ? There are 2 which exist.
Please follow the suggestion in the link below which might help :-

Creative cloud desktop app won't let me sign in

The Creative Cloud desktop app hasn't worked for at least a week now on my Windows 8.1/x64 machine. I've been trying to get Adobe Muse, but until tonight, the app only showed the creative cloud banner and a white screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled it twice without success. PhotoshopCC works and appears to be signed in, and I was able to sign into the website but if I try to download Muse, it just brings up the blank Creative Cloud application.
So I signed out of Photoshop and wasn't able to sign in again -- it said my password was invalid. So I requested the password change email, got that, followed the instructions, and it said my link had timed out and to request the password change link again. So I did that and this time I was able to change my password. The Creative Cloud app is still all white.
So I signed back in using PhotoshopCC and that finally worked. I also signed into the website. I killed the Creative Cloud app and restarted it. This time, it thought for a bit and offered me a login. But whenever I log in, it immediately says
You've been signed out. Please sign in to continue.
Endless loop.
What gives? I see a lot of complaints and a banner on one page that says "service has been restored". It clearly hasn't.
Any ideas? Is this still an Adobe glitch? I sure hope Adobe offers a service credit for this frustration and lack of ability to work.

I don't need to call tech support, just to start banging my head all over again.
I can honestly tell you that Tech Support does not want to hear from me right now... I'm pissed, frustrated and ready to yell at somebody over the phone about my bad day that Adobe created for me.

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.

How can I get the Creative Cloud Desktop app To work on Windows Vista?

Currently My CC Desktop app is a greyed out icon.
It has been on and off for months now.
I have called technical support several times and been directed to
1) Uninstall it
2) Run the cleaner
3) Turn AV Software off
4) Delet my prefrences
5) Delet Hosts file in Windows 32 folder
6) Restart, Restart,
7) Use a diffent User account. etc.
The apps work= PS, INDD, AE, PROJ, AI, DW, Fla, etc.
But the Creative Cloud Destop app does not. I have to use the web browser to upload or sync any files.
Anyone have any other ideas I welcome them.
My specs,
Running windows vista, on a very good HP machine.
I have been a loyal Adobe Customer, For more than 15 years.
I have been an Adobe Certified Expert for 3 years or more.
I work professionaly with this software as a teacher. I have taught this software to college grads. and now to highschool students.
Ususally Adobe is one of the best companies to deal? Please stop farming your support calls to other countries, The connections are poor, and the support is terrible and it is damaging your reputation.

Hi D2xS-Shooter,
I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

Why is it so hard to find the download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app?

So - I have a subscription and I needed to move the location where the files were on my computer. The easiest path is to uninstall and reinstall. So I used the Adobe uninstaller tool (which, even though I told it to uninstall everything, does not uninstall everything). Then I rebooted. All Adobe CS creative cloud desktop apps are gone. I log into my Adobe account online, and the only thing I can find are downloads for downloading "trials" of the adobe apps - this is whilst being logged in. And to download the trial it starts to ask me questions about how I will use it etc. so I didn't bother.
When I go to the page that has what ostensibly looks like it will lead to the Adobe creative suite downloader/desktop tool, it takes me to the list of ALL adobe desktop app "trials".
I finally found it by hunting around in the help screens and Google for five minutes, but it's still obnoxious that there is no link to directly download the Creative Cloud desktop app here, which is where it sends you:
http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html
Instead all you see are a bunch of "Trial versions", even though these are included with the adobe creative cloud subscription.
So I don't really have a question, more of a rant at the stupidity of the way this is set up. When I'm logged in, I should be able to access the downloads, or at least the tool that lets me download the downloads, without spending time hunting around for it. It's ridiculous that it's not set up that way currently.

Same with me here is the link I found and used
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud?version=2.0

Creative Cloud desktop app totally empty - not even Preferences...?

I have from before Production Premium CS6 and Lightroom 4 installed on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM).
I joined then CC Photography Package and after login to my account I went to the DL section to download one of the programs and install it. The Creative cloud desktop app is installed, but it is empty. Not only is there neither a Photoshop CC nor a Lightroom 5 there, there's no menu and if I try to determine the app version as in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html - there's not even a Preferences to select...
I get no error message, and going to the Download center and trying to download Photosgop or Lightroom just gets me a blink of "waiting for creative.adobe.com..." and then focus is changed to the empty Creative Cloud desktop app.
Checking my account I can see that both my product licences for CS6/LR4 are there, as is my CC Photography package.
I can add that I have restarted the system, reinstalled the Creative Cloud app and tried other things I can think of. But I still only get an empty Creative Cloud app, without a possibility to login to my Adobe account.

Creative Cloud Desktop App Not Connecting

HI,
I have just updated the creative cloud desktop app and now I cannot install any apps. Every time I try an logi in all i get is an Unknown Server Error (Sign in is currently unavailable. We are unabale to access your account. Please try again later). This has been going on since last night.
1; I am logged in no problem via Firefox
2: My subscription is up to date for another year
3: I can even download and install the new creative cloud desktop app and that's as far as i can get...
I have even deleted the creative cloud app and re-installed and get the same message..
Any other suggestions anyone???
BTW Mountain Lion 10.8.4

Thanks Beverley, I will try the steps there.
Though I would also point out that you shouldn't need to ask users to do this kind of stuff - if there are known issues with cached user data then this should have been cleaned up automatically by the software update (especially since it seems to have forgotten my previous login settings anyway?).
This is a similar point to the manual Adobe application cleaner tools that staff often ask users to run - these really shoudn't be needed if software is written correctly.
In reference to the article you linked to, this seems to have been fairly hastily cobbled together. Solution 1 has "Delete the opm.db file." as it's sub-heading (?) but the steps involve renaming the file, not deleting it. This may sound like a minor gripe but I started searching the whole of my C: drive before realising the steps showed the filepath, and that renaming was required rather than deletion. In Solution 2, point 1b states "Choose an Adobe Creative Cloud and click Uninstall/Change." - I'm sure I don't need to point out the glaring grammatical error here.
Regards,
Blake

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.

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 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.

Are you getting Error code 1 while running CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg file ?
If so , follow below steps :
Important : Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud setup, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon from Activity monitor.
1)
Click on the Finder and look for the options listed next to Apple Icon located at the top left corner of the Desktop screen and click on "Go" menu button and select "Utilities" option.
(Applications>Utiliites)
Locate Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Application Manager folder under Utilities window and trash both folders.
2)
Click on the below link and download & run Adobe Cleaner tool :
Select the option "Adobe Application Manager for Mac OS X 10.6" and then click on "Clean up Selected" .

Creative Cloud Desktop App does not upload CERTAIN files

Trying to use the Creative Cloud Desktop app to manage my Adobe Audition Files. The entire folder structure syncs, but individual files keep failing. The desktop app does not show any useful messages, but I found this error in the CoreSync.log file.
ERROR: Copying file: {"cause":"infected_asset","message":"In the file 'Track 1_004.wav' the signature 'null' has been found"}
This same error goes for pretty much all my files. Now if I take the same exact file and use the web uploader, it succeeds with no issues. My other computers will download the file, and my original computer does not download any duplicates. I tried Adobe's support chat but that was a joke. They said there is no technical support for the Cloud Desktop App and that I need to go to the forums.
Anyone have any idea what's causing this error?

Hi Kendr1ck,
I wondered if it was related to the files being used when you were attempting to sync them. Were the files you were having difficult with open in Audition at the time? Do they still fail with Audition closed?
Thanks,
- Dave

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).
