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.
Cheers,
Ben

  • Cannot install Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point.

    I have a brand new machine running Windows 8.1. I don't know much about specs, so if you need more information on my setup, please tell me where to find it.
    I cannot install the Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point. I had this problem many months ago. I had a chat with someone from Adobe, and they had no clue what it was. I then called in and the phone was basically passed around from person to person trying to figure out what the issue was. They took over my screen, they tried all of the stuff that I read in the forums. Eventually I asked for the highest up person in the office and that person found a workaround that has been working for all these months.
    However, now that I tried to update the Creative Cloud desktop app, the update froze around 40-50% each time, so I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, then tried to reinstall it. Now I have the same problem that I had many months ago where when I double click on CreativeCloudSet-Up, and it says it's downloading, it freezes very early on and just sits there. No error message, just sits there forever until I kill the process. I can't even cancel it properly.
    I have very slow internet. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been downloading all the CC apps directly from the internet, but since I'm paying nearly $60 a month, I'd really like to have the CC desktop app. I'm sick of downloading each update manually off of websites.
    I have read every thread, empty or packed full of replies, and none of the suggestions seem to help me. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I really don't think that paying $60 a month should require me to fiddle with a bunch of files and cleaners, etc. I can't believe this problem has not been solved yet.
    Could it have something to do with my computer? Or is my internet provider blocking something from Adobe? I have no idea and I'm honestly so frustrated. I come home from work everyday and spend the rest of the night trying to fix this issue, and I'm sick of it. I won't call in again, since it was a disaster last time. I was on the line for over 4 hours, and they still didn't properly solve the problem.
    I am 100% desperate and tired of this.

    Nothing? Is there no solution to my problem? Do I have no other option other than to cancel my subscription? Pirating Adobe's software would cause me a lot less hassle than this, and that's not the way it should be.

  • Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

    I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
    Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
    It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
    I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
    I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
    He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
    I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
    Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
    I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • CC apps only have try button in Creative Cloud desktop app

    I received a free 1 year membership because i attended the Adobe Max Conference. I activated the membership in May 2013 and when I go to my profile at adobe.com it says the creative cloud membership is active until May 2014.
    I updated my Creative Cloud desktop app yesterday to download the CC apps and did not have any problems or get any errors. All my CS6 programs are listed in the app along with the CC programs but the CC programs have a try button, not install button. Do I need to re-enter my creative cloud activation code again somewhere else so the programs I download are not trial versions.
    I'm using OS10.8.4

    Jodi I am showing 4 successful activation requests from yesterday.  If you are continuing to experience difficulties then I would recommend contacting our support team.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

    The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.

  • My Creative Cloud Desktop App says that apps are installed that aren't.

    Important thing to note: I system restored yesterday, which removed the programs that I had installed the day before.
    After my earlier discussion received no answer, I searched for more solutions and found one from only two weeks ago that now suggested that the OOBE folder I was renaming was not the correct one. I should go into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe and rename the OOBE folder there to OOBE_old. While I'm searching for this I'm on the phone with a customer service representative I annoyingly cannot remember the name of who is asking for remote control of my computer, which I am loathe to give him, obviously. So I tell him that I'm in the process of executing this solution which he says is fine. So, I execute the solution and finally, the Creative Cloud Desktop App does not launch with a blank screen! It actually asks for my username and password! I enter it and get to the normal page where it has the list of installed apps etc. Except, there is no trace of those installed apps on my computer, indeed, the Creative Cloud Files folder is empty. They are not in my list of installed programs. Because, of course, they were removed yesterday by the System Restore. But, it now does not give me the option to reinstall it. I tell the customer service representative this. Then, the customer service representative hangs up on me. Hangs up on me.
    I still don't have a solution, and the man who could have given me one clearly did not deign to do so. Is he representative of your customer service?
    I more care about this problem, to be perfectly honest.

    For the benefit of anyone who experiences the same problems as me, this is what I did to solve it:
    I executed the Adobe CleanerTool to wipe Creative Cloud. Then I executed it again to wipe all evidence of Creative Cloud apps. Now! It works! No thanks to the customer service.

  • Uninstall Failed, Not listed in Creative Cloud Desktop App list

    I keep trying to uninstall ANY and ALL of the Creative Cloud programs downloaded on my computer - Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro - and I keep getting the message in the screen shot I've attached. This goes for the CC AND CC 2014 versions. I have them all. None are appearing in my Creative Cloud deskop app. It is saying I have no apps downloaded. Right now I am in the middle of installing all of the CC 2014 versions (even though the programs panel of my computer (Windows 7 64 bit) says all of these programs are already downloaded, screenshot included below also).
    In fact, moments ago - today is 10/24 - my install of InDesign CC 2014 just completed yet my computer says it was installed on 10/6???? Yes, even after a reboot.
    Please note: This morning I started by uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop App and then reinstalling it successfully.
    AND YES, I have already tried the Cleaner Tool 5 times, so please DO NOT suggest that. It does not work. I've also rebooted my system several times.
    There is no firewall on my computer. Virus checking is not blocking it either.
    Any one else experiencing the same? I need this fixed yesterday. I haven't been able to work in 24 hours.
    Please help!

    I'm experiencing this same problem where I can't uninstall or install any CC products, and haven't found a resolution yet. The cleaner tool definitely doesn't help and I keep getting messages that the uninstall failed.

  • Is there any way the Creative Cloud desktop app can indicate which Market items have already been downloaded?

    Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with the Creative Cloud desktop app, or something is going wrong with my installation, but I receive seem to receive no indication that I have already downloaded an item when I open CC --> Assets --> Market. Looking in my Libraries, I now find some items I've downloaded up to 4 times. Is there some indication I am missing? Is my installation of CC desktop messed up? Or should I suggest that there should be some indication of whether an item has been downloaded or not on that Market page in the app? Even when I go specifically to downloaded items, none of those items has the cloud with the arrow icon grayed out. The only time that icon grays out is when I download the item and keep that page/window open to download other items. As soon as that page/window is closed, the next time I open it, all icons are no longer grayed out, so I no longer have a clue as to what I downloaded unless I open my libraries in my browser. Seems a bit primitive.

    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.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Shows Download Error

    I installed the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.  When I click Install Adobe Apps I get an error message that says, "Download Error.  Press Retry to try again or contact customer support."  Pressing the Reload Applications button just repeats the same error.  I disabled my antivirus, Windows firewall, bypassed my Cisco firewall and nothing changes.  No error code number is given.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro, SP1, 32bit, 4Gb memory.
    Any ideas?

  • I have downloaded the creative cloud desktop app, but the app tab says 'download error', download creative cloud. HOW CAN I FIX THIS

    I am using a mac
    I want to sign up for a subscription to adobe cc. I have recently used fully used my 30 day trial, and when I decided to purchase it, my creative cloud desktop app wouldn't let me. It kept saying I had no internet connection (I tried a few different internet connections to be sure it wasn't my internet). I then uninstalled the creative cloud, as well as all the products. For a while I kept getting error 201, and 207 when I tried downloading the cc app again.
    I have now used a mac cleaner to fully remove adobe. When I tried to download it again, it downloaded fully. But when I click on the apps tab, it says 'Download Error'.
    Please help!!!! I need to complete a school assignment

    Brittney2_lee from your post it sounds like you are receiving a variety of download errors.  You can find details on how to diagnose and resolve download errors at Error downloading and installing Creative Cloud application.  You are welcome to update this discussion if you have any questions regarding the steps listed within the document.

  • 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 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?
