Unable to download using the Creative Cloud desktop

When I try and download applications I get the following message: "Installation Failed. Unable to reach Adobe servers. Please check your internet connectivity, firewall setting, and then try again."
I am definitely connected to the internet and have disabled the firewall but still have them same issue. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the creative cloud desktop.
Operating System: OS X 10.8.4
Any suggestions?

Hi Penny,
Welcome to the Community!
Please check the hosts file in your Mac and delete all the Adobe entries from the hosts file. Location is as follows:
Finder>> Go>> Go to folder>> /etc>> Hosts
Open the hosts file with Textedit and delete the Adobe entries (If available)
Once you have deleted the Adobe entries from the hosts file launch Adobe Creative cloud.
If the issue is still not resolved then please check http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html for further troubleshooting.
Thanks!

Why is the Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing that Photoshop CC is already installed?

I have Photoshop CC 32bit and 64bit installed on a W7 64bit, 3770, 32Gb ram etc system. No operating problems with Photoshop CC at all. But I have just used the Creative Cloud desktop app (I'm not sure if "app" is the right term - it looks like a CC "Manager") - red icon - to update Photoshop CC. No problems with this. But curiously, where Photoshop CC is listed in all the available CC programs, its status is shown as "install". It is already installed.
Grateful for any explanation. I'm not losing sleep over it, just curious. Thanks.

Make sure that your Language settings are the same between the apps and the Application Manager. i.e. Both English North American or English International. (I had the same problem, and that fixed it.)

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

I am downloading the Creative Cloud desktop app on my Mac, and it starts to download but just stalls in the process and doesn't get any closer to finishing. Anyone have any suggestions. I've restarted my computer multiple times and restarted the download,

The Creative Cloud Desktop App won't download

I have the Adobe Application Manager which is where I 'installed' my programs (only Illustrator and Photoshop) at this stage. I want the 'creative cloud desktop app' as I need to access fonts to use in Illustrator. When I click on the link where I download it, it just takes me to the Application Manager again. Is creative cloud meant to be one of the apps in the application manager? Have tried to troubleshoot but cannot figure it out

Donnacally123 for information on how to open Illustrator CC after it is installed please see Launch CC apps after install - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/launch-creative-cloud-apps.html.

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.

I get a download error on the creative cloud desktop app. When I click reload applications it remains the same. How can I get this message to be removed?

Is there a way to temporarily ignore the Creative Cloud Desktop update? i.e. Mobile data use

I am a mobile tablet user (Windows 8). I am connected via mobile data wifi sometimes, and I need to grab a font or make a quick update to an Illustrator or InDesign project with a new font etc. The problem is that when a Creative Cloud Desktop update is available, it forces you to update. This can be slow and expensive over a mobile network. Is it possible to ignore an update temporarily so that you can function without the update? Quite frankly the Creative Cloud Desktop application seems to have an update every three to four days --- Makes it bothersome.

Hi WarithNiallah,
Please follow the below mentioned steps:
Windows: C/Program Files(X86)/Common Files/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterinventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
Now there should be no update prompt.

Romit Sinha

Error A12E1 when I try to update the Creative Cloud desktop

I get an Error code: A12E1 when I try to update the Creative Cloud desktop on my Mac, OS 10.7.5. I tried creating a different user account but that made no difference. I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app and downloaded a new one from the CC website. Same problem with an Error code: A12E6.
So how do we fix this?

Dear Mr. Wright,
I’ve encountered this A12E1 error EVERY time an update to CC Desktop has been required — that’s (5) times since August 2013. I contacted TS chat the first (4) times and each time I listened to them tell me that this was the LAST TIME I’d encounter this error. Each time, they put me through exactly the same process, delete exactly the same processes and folders, uninstall the CC application and reinstall it. This time, I skipped the tech support chat and did it myself: who needs to be lied to over and over again?
If you’re not going to eliminate this A12E1 error, at least put something together to automate the process, please?
The instructions for #3, reinstalling the CC desktop application (post #23 above) are inaccurate, at least for OS 10.7.5. Tip: the Mac has more than one OS in use, as does Windows.
P.S. I deeply resent being ignominiously FORCED to use CC apps with the worst GUIs ever (are your code gurus completely ignorant of the concepts of CLARITY and LEGIBILITY?), being FORCED to reconfigure (6) or (8) “upgraded” applications every few months because Adobe won’t support the previous version(s) for more than five minutes, being FORCED to sift through hundreds of forum posts and dozens of INACCURATE or non-existent so-called “support” pages (e.g., the link cited above) and being FORCED to watch hours of useless TV tutorials in order to find the one piece of information I need — EVERY TIME I need support — because Adobe is too lazy to write application- and version-specific manuals. You’ve backed us into that infamous circle of hell between a rock and a hard place instead of providing us with the stable, seamless suite of creative tools we were promised.
The bling and the glitz and the self-promotional “look at our wonderful new toys” videos just don’t fill the void, Adobe.
Unless you work for a company big enough to afford one of your outrageously expensive tech support plans, you’re out here fending for yourself on forums that never seem to get looked at by an Adobe employee. I spend more time solving Adobe-related problems than I do producing billable work. I’ve been a loyal, dues-paying, license-respecting Adobe customer since 1991; every year I paid the upgrade fees and was content to do so until Creative Suite offered the same upgrade deal to people with (1) outdated version of Photoshop that they offered to someone who’d paid the upgrades on (5) to (8) Adobe applications for (15) years. So much for loyalty and playing by the rules.
If you really want to help me, please find out why the Typekit support people haven’t answered the e-mail I sent them (2) days ago. And if Typekit won’t work with Dreamweaver CS6, then they ought to come out and say that instead of sending you to help pages that tell you how to use it with Dreamweaver CC. Thanks.

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.

How can I tell the Creative Cloud Desktop app that an app no longer exists?

I have installed Muse via the Creative Cloud Desktop app, tried it, didn’t like it AND deinstalled it. (Or so I thought.) However, the Desktop app still shows Muse CC as “up to date”, and lists Muse CC 2014 in “New versions available for installed apps”. How can I get rid of these, when I can’t even find a trace of either one on my Mac (including the deinstaller folder in Utilities)?

Thanks, here are my (mixed) results
Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps tells me to open /Utilities/Adobe Installers, which doesn’t show a Muse deinstaller, as mentioned above.
CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed lists 4 possible ways:
just the same: use the uninstaller in /Utilities/Adobe Installers, which isn’t there, so obviously useless.
delete opm.db in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE. This one was new to me, but didn’t help.
Install the latest version of the desktop app. I already had this, but I re-downloaded and re-installed it anyway. No difference.
Uninstall EVERYTHING as described in solution 1 and use the CS/CC CleanerTool. And NOW finally it gets interesting!
Actually I first thought this was bad joke, but it turned out I didn’t even have to uninstall anything else! I just downloaded the CleanerTool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6), launched it, selected Muse and got prompted if I wanted to try a regular uninstall first. Ok, if that’s still an option, why not? So the CleanerTool launched an application manager that was finally able to uninstall Muse, while leaving everything else in place. Thumbs up!
So until Adobe integrates a proper uninstaller into their CC desktop app, I recommend the CleanerTool!

I want to start using the creative cloud programs but it has forced me to "start a trial" and looks like I need a redemption code to "license" the products on my computer for the next year. Where do I find or get this redemption code?
