Illustrator CC2014 and Update Creative Cloud Desktop App

Hi,
I am using the Creative Cloud Student edition on Windows 8.1. Right now I have some problems with Illustrator and the Desktop App itself, however I absolutely need it to work right now for University. I try to explain the problem as clear as I can, I hope you can help me!
First, the problem I have with Illustrator: I installed the newest version (CC2014) a couple of weeks ago. It all worked fine at first. After some time, when opening the application, I got a message saying it can't be opened and that I should go to the .exe file and operate it as Administrator. When I clicked okay, Illustrator opened without me doing what I was told.. This kept going on for a couple of days until now. I cannot open it anymore, a message appears saying: The localized source files for this application could not be loaded. Fix this application or reinstall. Then try again. .The problem is, I cannot fix or reinstall the application, I can't even uninstall it (It says there were problems and not everything was uninstalled..) Now I don't know what to do?
Second, I cannot update my creative cloud desktop app. It says: Creative Cloud desktop could not be updated. Error Code: 50. I have searched for that error code, but could not find any explanation.
I would be very happy for your help!
Thank you in advance!

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.

You may try providing full permissions to Adobe folders under ~/library/Application Support and /library/Application Support.
Then launch Creative Cloud app and try loading Apps list
Still same ?
Try below steps :
1)
Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon from Activity monitor.
2)
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.
3)
Trash Adobe Creative Cloud from Applications well.
4)
1) Right click on Finder icon and select "Go-ToFolder " option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( Do not miss ~ symbol)
~/library
3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and trash folders named AAMUpdater and OOBE.
5)
1) Right click on Finder icon and select "Go-To" Folder option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.
/library
3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and trash folders named AAMUpdater ,Adobe Application Manager and OOBE.

Creative cloud desktop app show APPD download error

Creative Cloud desktop app show APPS 'download error' - gives the option to reload applications or contact customer service
Reload doesn't work
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app - same error
Trouble began after I attempted to download a Bridge update which wouldn't complete

Spent 2.5 hours on support chat and screen sharing with adobe support today, and after many uninstalls, CC clean ups etc, they could not get it working.
Like you, it has always worked until today.
The only thing we could get to work was to login to os x as root user and run Creative cloud from there.
It's a PITA, but I am used to it because my desktop CC installer has been broken since last year, so I now have two computers with broken CC installers.
OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
good luck

Why can't I launch my Creative Cloud Desktop App? (I get Error -1712)

I have the Creative Cloud Desktop app downloaded and installed on my iMac (Early 2009/Mavericks OS). When I try to open it I get error -1712. Up until today I have been able to launch it. I cleared out my caches completely today so am wondering if that has something to do with it (cookies?). I can launch other Creative Cloud Apps such as InDesign Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font sync issues with TypeKit and InDesign as well--typekit says my fonts are synced, InDesign says they are not. Help!

You might try restarting your computer and then attempt downloading Creative Cloud again. In case you still face this issue please share the screenshot.
Thanks,
Vikas

After I restart my computer, Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app fails to open (Windows 7)

I started having this problem pretty late last night. Some of my applications still work -- Audition, Premiere, Media Encoder, and Lightroom -- but After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator also fail to launch. Some display a generic "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." Other's don't, displaying a blank white icon next to the program file name.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled everything (including Windows 7). To be clear, Creative Cloud *works* after I reinstall it, but as soon as I reboot my computer or restart in order to reinstall other apps, I only see the image below. I canot edit preferences or view updates and requests. I then have to uninstall creative cloud and reinstall in order to get it up and running again.
I'm baffled. No clue why certain apps load and others are damaged or something, and it seems there's no work around native to Adobe.
Aother piece of perhaps relevant information; WIndows installed a critical update on Feb. 23rd (day before I started having this issue). Might be relevant, but I've since re-installed windows and in the interim period between that update and my first failure, I was able to access Photoshop and After Effects.

Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. Renamed the file and was able to download new programs. I was even able to use them (after effects and photoshop), but when I restarted, they were lost again. Now Audition doesn't even work. I get this message: "Adobe Application Manager, required to start your trial, is missing or damaged. Please download a new copy of adobe application manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
So basically, everytime I restart my computer, I have to download the cloud desktop app, install it, then install whatever programs I want to use. Then I can't restart or else I risk losing them and have to do the process all over again. Desperate for a solution on this one.

"undefined" error when attempting to update Creative Cloud desktop app

I'm trying to update apps for a user on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. If i run the app under my admin account, the "apps" tab shows that all products are up to date, however, when I run the CC desktop app as the user, I am getting an "undefined" error under the apps tab. This is extremely annoying and inconvenient. I've tried logging out and back in to the CC desktop app, which did not help. I've restarted the PC several times. I've also re-installed the CC app to no avail. Also, due to the frequency of app updates, and the inability of users to update the apps themselves, this is a huge waste of time as I have to manually log in to each PC on our network with CC to update from an admin account. Does anyone know of a way to get around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, an Admin account is required... but since I don't work for Adobe, you'll need to proceed below

Creative Cloud Desktop App stuck on update

Well, the title says everything there is to know. Whenever i start the CC-Desktop-App, it starts to "install" updates, but gets stuck at 2%.
And yes, i restarted my computer. And my internet connection is completely fine.
It would be great if anyone knows how to solve this issue.

Hi, im deutschen Forum kannst Du auch auf deutsch fragen.
Die App ist manchmal zäh. Vermutlich hast Du ein Update übersprungen oder sonst irgendein nicht von dir verschuldeter Fehler.
In diesem Fall würde ich Dir empfehlen, die CC Desktop App zu deinstallieren und den Installer erneut dafür von der Adobe-Website runterladen und installieren. Dann sollte es funktionieren. Demnächst wird es da größere Updates geben, weil Du nicht alleine mit diesem Problem bist wird da Adobe nachbessern.

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

Creative Cloud Desktop App Update 1.9.1.474 sets sync folder back to default (windows)

Hi All,
Second time this has happened with an update to Creative Cloud Desktop App (Windows).
Update completes correctly but then notice that file sync is going mad and is re-syncing everything but to the default location (usually user\username\ - in Win 8.1).
Last time this occurred I seemed to get some loss of files.
I've now let it re-sync everything to the default location and then resetting it to the previous location (where files are still present - but is on a different drive).
Surprised to hear Support (Swati) hasn't heard this occur before but thought it worth putting it out there to both warn others and see if its just me!
This was for definite with update 1.9.1.474 of Creative Cloud Desktop (And think it was with the previous mandatory release).
Cheers,
M

Hi Mark,
as you correctly point out with the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.

"Updating Creative Cloud desktop" hung -- now what?

Was prompted this morning to update Creative Cloud desktop app (Window 7). Accepted and waited, then, when prompted, allowed installer to run as administrator. The green progress bar has been stuck at nearly done for about 30 minutes. I tried shutting down every other obvious running program to no avail. When I started the update, Google Chrome was open along with a couple of local apps.
Can I safely kill the "Adobe Installer" program with Windows Task Manager and then install the desktop app from the new copy of CreativeCloudSup-Up.exe file I downloaded this morning? Do I need to reboot before installing?
Edited to add the following:
No other Adobe apps (e.g., PS, LR, Reader) were running when I started the update.
Edit: corrected spelling
Thanks,
-- Sam

When I tried to kill the installed via Windows Task Manager, I was told that the program was waiting for input from me but there was no prompt so I killed the process mercilessly. When I tried to uninstall the application, I was told that another copy of it was running somewhere in memory. So I rebooted, uninstalled the app, installed afresh from this morning's "CreativeCloudSet_up.exe" file, logged in to my Adobe account, and all seems well.
Was not thrilled with the experience but, hey, it's working now.

Since I updated my Creative Cloud desktop App to its last version, my files are no longer synchronized. I received the "fail to synch files" and "server error" messages.

Hi, Jeff.
I'm not on a network and I didn't change anything on my secutiy setups, so I got in touch to the customer support. They checked my computer and found nothing wrong, so they uploded some log files to analyse the case. I'm waiting for a answer.
Thanks for the tips.

Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager never self update correctly

I have no idea what is wrong with the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager. I downloaded and installed it ever since I subscribed to Creative Cloud. EVERY TIME when there is an update to the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager, it will prompt me to update which I did. However, EVERY TIME the update would fail and I would either have a broken CC Desktop App Manager or, started recently, it would prompt me to update again.
The only solution I could find was manually uninstall CC Desktop App Manager and then reinstall it.
Perhaps the CC Desktop App Manager is not needed?

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.
