Why does Creative Cloud Desktop App invite me to Install a program that I already own?

I am a recent subscriber to the Creative Cloud Photographers Program, which includes three programs: Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom. When I launch the CC Desktop app, the "Installed Apps" section lists three programs: Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), and Bridge. Lightroom appears under "Find New Apps" with a button that says "Install." But Lightroom is already installed! Why doesn't the CC desktop app list Lightroom under "Installed Apps" and why doesn't the button say "update?" I am hesitant to press "Install" unless I am assured that it is safe to do so.
Details: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
Creative Cloud Desktop app Version 1.7.1.418
Lightroom is 5.5

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately the URL you gave is a non-functional web page. The chat button on Adobe's Contact Customer Care page is also non-functional. I get the feeling Adobe doesn't want to chat, or maybe they went home for the weekend, so I came to the forum.

Why does Creative Cloud Desktop block when updating fails?

Actually, this is a feature request: Don't block Creative Cloud Desktop's other functions (App Download/Install, File Synchronization) just because there is an update.
5 out 10 times updating fails at our facility, forcing us to reinstall the Creative Cloud App from a fresh download.
All this time files are not synched, apps are not updated. This applies to both Mac and Windows versions.
This is the tinyiest app of the Suite and it produces the most frustrations here – while the bigger applications (with installations in the GBs) run smoothly.

That's what I get on a regular basis: Creative Cloud Desktop could not be updated.(Error code: 2) Contact support I will then download the latest Creative Cloud Desktop full install and install it manually. For every machine. Every now and then.
But more important: You now have several Cloud File Sync services on your desktop (Dropbox, Onedrive, Google Drive etc.) and they manage to update themselves automagically – or not. They won't stop functioning, only because they could not get a specific mini-bugfix.

Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing my installed CC2014 apps

I just uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled in as it was not launching. Now it is launching fine but not seeing the installed cc2014 apps on my machine. Its prompting me to install them. How do I fix this?

Damn, lucky you.
I re-installed everything like you did but my CC desktop app isn't picking anything up.
What file directory did you lead it to?

Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager still does not work - HELP?

Using Windows 7, have Adobe subscription, cannot get the CC desktop Application Manager to work under any circumstances! This is driving me crazy, paying for the subscription, cannot update any programs, because I cannot access anything. I urgently need to finish a job where I have previously used a font I have in my typekit - but of course I cannot access the typekit so cannot get the font - this is urgent.
Can someone please help - I have uninstalled all reference to Creative Cloud Desktop App, restarted computer, re-installed. Nothing, uninstalled everything - changed OOBE folders in both locations to _old, restarted, reinstalled, nothing. Uninstalled again, ran the CC Cleaner Tool, option 3, option1, renamed the OOBE folders, restared Windows, ran exe file again. Failes repeatedly. Comes up with a blank white space, blue wheel spins a few times then stops, and stays like that. If you click in the white space, then it just goes black!!!
Where to now!

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...
http://s24.postimg.org/rta8cf9dh/retry.png
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 :-

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.

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 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.

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

Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working!

Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working! Ask me to remove and install it with a new download only for that to not fix or work! Sending me around in circles! Very frustrating and annoying!

Not sure on the error message! OS yosomvite 10.10.3.
my Desktop cloud stopped working, and error messages asked me to re-install it, after uninstalling the original one. The new download loads and gets to half way before disappearing ad nothing happening? back to square one. Tried re-starting and re downloading = same...... .

My creative cloud desktop app does not show the programmes installed

My creative cloud desktop app does not show the programmes installed so I cant update lightroom or any other programme, have unistalled and reinstalled but no change

Hi Roni-
If you updated the desktop installer and the screen is blank: try this:
Rename the opm.db file.
Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
Launch Creative Cloud

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

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.)

My Creative Cloud desktop app's HOME tab does not display info

I'm running a Mac Pro tower with OS v10.8.5 and using Chrome. The desktop app displays no data and the circular activity arrow keeps spinning and doesn't stop. My internet connection is fine and the app was working a week ago. The cery same app on my PC machine works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Zfire45, Lets Quit Creative Cloud desktop app and follow Solution 2 mentioned under the below article.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.h tml
Re-launch CC desktop app and check if it works fine now.
Let me know in case you still face the issue.
Cheers!
