AAM not updating itself to Creative Cloud Desktop app

I had the Creative Cloud desktop/toolbar app running briefly yesterday but was frustrated by having the CS6 and CC versions of various apps running side by side, so decided to uninstall everything and do a clean install. I ran the various uninstall programs and the cleaner utility, then re-installed AAM, AI and PS as a starting point.
AAM has not updated itself to the Creative Cloud desktop app, and if I go to the Download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app and click on Download, it just switches to the AAM app, and does nothing.
If I look in the updates section of AAM, there are no updates for AAM itself and Creative Cloud Desktop is not an installable program in AAM either.
Can anyone help me in either triggering AAM to update/install Creative Cloud Desktop, or provide some manual installation steps?
Many thanks,
Nick

We may want to see what Nick's OS is before we go into to many details.
Here is a quick tip though for Windows 8 and 7 64-bit users which might resolve your difficulties.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and rename the OOBE folder to OOBE_old
Close and relaunch your browser
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Download the Creative Cloud app.

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?

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.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

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!

First, to uninstall and reinstall
-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling may help

Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop app since update to Windows 8.1

Hi, I have updated my desktop and laptop to Windows 8.1 over the past day, and have noticed a problem with the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
Some menu items when I right-click on either the CC system tray icon, or click on the Settings menu icon in the app interface itself do not show. I've included a screenshot of the problem.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app, but this has not worked. Any ideas?

(2014) Creative Cloud Desktop App updates

I noticed in the recent Creative Cloud desktop apps the updates indicate in (2014). Are these apps actually different than the old CC apps for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator or once the update takes place the old update for the app without (2014) will fall off?

I do not know if this applies to any other Mac users, but, since this happens on my Mac (2009, so maybe that is a problem) every time the desktop app has an update, but the update will not install (ever since THE VERY DAY CC 2014 went live)
the magic bullet seems to be —
After getting rid of any trace of CC Desktop App
Delete Adobe Application Manager Folder (Applications ==>Utilities Folder ==> Adobe Application Manager)
Install new download of AAM
Install new download of CC Desktop App.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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
(help finding hidden files on mac:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html.)

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.
