Creative Cloud will only launch in SafeBoot. Why?

Creative Cloud crashes when I try to launch. The icon will flash once in the menu bar and then disappear. I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3.
I've tried everything I could find in the forums and elsewhere through google searches. The only way Creative Cloud will open is if I start my Mac in SafeBoot mode.
SOME things I've tried (I've tried MUCH more than this list):
try under a new admin
look for the app in my user preferences "startup at login" screen (it's not there)
uninstalled and reinstalled
used Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool with fresh install
I've had CC installed on this same machine before, but only today did I purchase a CC plan and this started happening. It worked fine before.

I tried every solution I found online suggesting deletion of apps, fresh installs, deletion of folders, permission changes, etc. I finally had an hour long chat session with an Adobe tech who had me do much of the same thing again, only to have the issue remain.
Here was the end solution which worked for me:
1. Create a new Admin account
2. Log out of your computer, and then back in under the new admin account
3. use the Creative Cloud uninstaller app to uninstall CC desktop. (Doing this prompted an alert message telling me I couldn't do this because some CC apps required it. So, I deleted the 2 CC apps I had installed, Lightroom and Photoshop)
4. After the uninstall completes, install a new copy of CC desktop. (Once I did this, it opened and ran correctly.)
5. Log out and log back in under your usual account.
6. If CC desktop doesn't start on its own, double click the application itself to start up.
After completing step #6, CC desktop started up on its own. I re-downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom through CC and all is working normally so far.

Creative Cloud will only "run" when started in "Run as Administrator"

For some reason, sometime in the past month Creative Cloud will not give me access when started from any of the normal methods; the Task bar Shortcut, the Start Menu shortcut, or even directly from double clicking on "Creative Cloud.exe." It starts in the background but does not appear on the monitor. This is confirmed with Task Manager. I have found that if I use Task Manager to "End Task," I can start the program (from any of the above methods) by choosing "Run as Administrator" and it appears on the monitor and I have complete access.
Today, I updated to the newest version and the situation remains the same (except, that before I did not have to "end Task" in Task Manager prior to "Run as Administrator.)
What is causing this and how do I fix it?

Creative Cloud will only open once, then it needs to be re-installed + only get white screen + no adobe programs work

So the title is pretty clear. And I've done a ton of research and tried everything. It used to all work fine too. It started with none of my adobe programs being able to work. The little thumbnail icon would break and I would get an error if I tried to open any of them. This only happened with adobe software, and they would typically work for a while before breaking. Then the creative cloud app stopped working too. Anytime I get it open it's blank, and if I close it, the program won't launch anymore. I need to reinstall it.
I removed all adobe everything off my computer, and used ccleaner to get rid of any excess, then reinstalled the creative cloud app, still doesn't work.
My email had an underscore in it, but I changed that. No weird characters anywhere in my profile. I've also tried every variation of dealing with the OOBE folder stuff.
I don't know what to do... please help

Hi Alexander,
Kindly try to create Root account (Mac)/Hidden Admin Account(Win).

    2. Try using Cleaner to remove Creative Cloud desktop app only
    3. Reinstall Creative Cloud.
Thanks,

Creative Cloud Will Not Launch

I cannot get my creative cloud to launch thus launch any applications. Just downloaded the new upgrade.... I only receive a white screen, any one else experiencing problems or have any good advise?

Hi John Smith, I have the newest OS for Mac Book Pro, When I go to the OOBE file folder there is PDApp file folder only in there, and when I click that alias, it takes me to a series of files none of which reference as above. When I launch any application I receive a sign in required window where this continually spools and nothing is launched.
Please advise as I am trying to access all of my creative software for a Monday a.m. deadline and have trouble shooter, reinstalled both the adobe manager and the Cloud app. Checked Proxy settings, etc.

I purchased a redemption code and redeemed it but creative cloud will only let me download free trials

I purchased a redemption code from the school that I work at (I'm staff that will be using the programs to work from home.) I followed the links provided and entered the redemption code which brought me to download the creative cloud desktop app. After I signed in I wasn't able to do anything but download free trials even though I paid for access to the entire creative suite. Any ideas on how to fix this?

My Creative Cloud will only download Indesign as a trial

Tried to edit my host file, but i couldnt locate it with previous tips. We have the full membership but it wont install the full version on our second computer, just a trial.

Hello afrothundr55,
You can find the Hosts in the following locations:
For Windows:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
you can edit the hosts file in the notepad, or you can move the hosts file on the desktop.
For Mac:
Click on Finder>Go>Go To Folder
- Type: /etc
Click on Go and look for the hosts file in the folder

Hi,
Please try this--
1. Quit the CC Desktop application by clicking on the 'Tools' icon (top-right) and choosing quit from the drop-down.
2. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData*\Local\Adobe and rename OOBE folder to OOBE.old.
Launch CC Desktop application again.
*AppData is a hidden folder.
Let me know the outcome.

What do you do when the creative cloud will not update?

Creative cloud will not update on my Mac.. therefore I cannot use InDesign. How can I get the Creative Cloud to update? I have tried un-installing and re-installing 3 different times now. Thank you.

Not sure. I am not having any problems opening files in current version 8.0 except for files that have been created/modified in current version 8.2 of course. That is why I need to update.
I've tried uninstalling 8.0 version before updating and a direct download of installer/updater of 8.2... still no luck.

My creative cloud will not sync properley

my creative cloud will not sync properley some of the files do not appear how can i find out in the online cloud which they are and why they won't sync

Please check if the Creative Cloud Connection is Active or Not?
How large are the files?
If you can find the logs at the following places, and paste them here, it would be good.
Here's where to find the log:
Windows - c:\users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\CloudSync\CloudSync-2013-05-0 9.log
Mac - /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Application Data/CloudSync/CloudSync-2013-05-09.log

How do I downgrade my complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign?

Hi there,
Is it possible to downgrade my Complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign? Because that are the only programs that we use. How much will that cost? Now it costs us €69,99 each month.
And is there another pay method besides a credit card? Is it possible to pay from our private bankaccount from the Netherlands?
Hopefully I hear soon from you!
