Adobe Crash Daemon preventing Creative Cloud Updater

Hey folks, i'm trying to run the updater in the Application Manager on my iMac (Mountain Lion) but I keep getting an error saying
"Please close the following applications to continue:
AdobeCrashDaemon"
If I hit continue it just keeps popping back up and can't see where that application is running (presumably in the background somewhere)
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Neil

PROBLEM SOLVED
Hi, so i tried everything in this post and other and couldn't solved it until now.
Since i updated to Mavericks, After Effects CS6 wasn't working.
Every time i opened the Activity Monitor i couldn't find the AdobeCrashDaemon.
The reason is because you need to have at least one Adobe CS6 opened. RIght when i opened PS, the process AdobeCrashDaemon appeared on the Activity Monitor. So this are the steps i made:
Open Applications > Utilities folder
- Open it and look under the Process Name column and see if you see anything saying AdobeCrashDaemon.
- Open PS or any other CS6 program. (AdobeCrashDaemon should appear on screen)
- Quit the process with double click on it.
- Click continue to the Updater.
Hope it helps.

Software Restriction Policy - Creative Cloud Update

Hi there,
We run very restrictive "Software Restriction Policy" or SRP in our environment. Creative Cloud updater program isn't able to run because it is prevented by SRP.
User launches "Creative Cloud" updater program and attempt to login using their credentials but get signed out right away because, what i assume they have no administrative priviledges.
Any idea which local path needs to be whitelisted in order for adobe updater program to run?
Thank you,

Hi Cesare,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
The following host/port combinations may need to be whitelisted when logging in with an Adobe ID to download, install, and activate licensing for applications via a Creative Cloud membership.
*.adobe.com:443
*.adobelogin.com:443
You can opt for CC package & deploy it.

Unable to install Creative Cloud Updates

Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.2.0)
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
DW CS6 12.1.1 Creative Cloud update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
Photoshop Camera Raw 7.3
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
That enough information? After chasing around the Adobe Help system for an hour and a half today and not being able to contact anyone at all yesterday when this forst started occuring, I'm kinda getting annoyed
Then getting on here and finding that my screen name (my own name, registered with Adobe and on the forums) isn't available, one could be excused for an excess of peevishness, I hope.

I finally found a solution that worked!
I had to find the adobe logs to understand what happened, and found this error "information not found in Media_db".
Here's the location of the solution: Re: Getting fatal Exit Code 34 when installing an app
And here's the answer copied and pasted from the page. I have windows 8 64 bit, but this solution worked for me. The downside was that it said many of my applications weren't installed in the CC app, so I had to hit reinstall on many of them, but everything installed and updated correctly after this.
I had the very same problem, and I am using windows 7 too. After chat with the adobe tech support. He showed me how to fix the problem.
Also, I tried the clean tool already. That didn't help.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe if you use 32bit system I think it would be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Change 3 folder name.
Adobe PCD -> Adobe PCDold
backup -> backupold
caps -> capsold
Then run the setup file again.
This method worked for me. Hope that would work for you also and save you some time.

Attempting to install creative cloud update. fails with error code 87. Where do I find an unfinished install?

I have received the error code 87 when attempting to update Creative Cloud. I had previously received an update for Acrobat Pro (not the CC version), and the install failed. Now I cannot install any Adobe product. How do I resolve this issue? Rather important that there is not a long delay.

If you are on windows computer, Open Task manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys
Locate and end all Adobe related processes, like Creative Cloud, Core sync, AAM update notifier, Acrobat updater, AdobeArm, Acrotray, Adobe installer.
Then try

Creative Cloud update to version 2.7.1.418 killed my Windows 8.1 system!

Earlier tonight, I saw the balloon from Creative Cloud stating that an update was available. So I installed it. Half-way during the installation, my windows desktop disappeared.
I started the task manager and restarted "Explorer.exe". That made the background reappear, but the taskbar was blank with just the lone Windows 8.1 icon on the very left. Hovering over the taskbar showed the wait cursor.
The task manager showed everything was running normally but the desktop was clearly broken. I checked the directories and everything was as expected.
So I held my breath and rebooted. After logging in, the desktop slowly appeared over about 10 minutes, but all the desktop icons were still missing, as were the taskbar icons. Only a few of the notification icons appeared.
I then managed to bring up a command window with the task manager (fortunately, Ctrl+Alt+Esc still worked) and launched System Restore (rstrui.exe). It showed me the Adobe Creative Cloud was the most recent restore point (below); the previous restore point after that was a Microsoft Windows update from 2 days ago. When I asked for the list of files that were affected by the Creative Cloud update and would be reverted, it showed this:
I again held my breath and restored my machine to before the above CC update; after about 20 minutes of shucking and jiving and a reboot, everything was working properly again.
So there is clearly something out of kilter with this latest update. Adobe the Time Vampire has once again stolen 2 hours of my life, but this time, at least it wasn't a license server issue. I think.

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation. I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem. Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes. Why is this? How can I or IT fix this?
Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

Hi Gveo,
Please follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager which will help you to get your issue fixed.

The Apps window in my Creative Cloud updater is only showing a spinning blue wheel

I've just updated my app installer to the latest Creative Cloud one but when I open it up, the Apps window only shows a spinning blue wheel, no apps. The other windows (Assets, Community) seem fine.@

I faced the same problem and hours of searching peoples various solutions. Tried everything under the sun over the last 10 hours to get the Creative Cloud Apps to stop spinning it's blue wheel... and FINALLY I have managed to get this to work for me, using the CC Cleaner tool. Hopefully it works for others also:
Solution 2: Run the CC Cleaner tool
Run the CC Cleaner tool to remove the current installation of the Creative Cloud Desktop application. For information on how to download and use the CC Cleaner Tool, see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
Choose option 3 within the CC Cleaner Tool and then Option 1.
Mac OS: Rename the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE.old.
Windows: Rename the following OOBE folders to OOBE.old:
\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me.

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me. When will Touch be updated with this function? Want the ability to view multiple layers the same way Creative Cloud website can. Having the ability to turn multiple layers on an off in Touch from and uploaded PSD file. As it stand Touch flattens imported Layered PSD files. (Not very useful)

Hi Bford225,
I moved your post over to the Photoshop Touch forum because it seemed mostly about Photoshop Touch.
Currently, I'd recommend converting RAW images to Jpeg in either Photoshop or Lightroom and then uploading them to Creative Cloud for working with them in Photoshop Touch. I know raw support is something our developers are considering so please add your vote here:
http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1227
How you best incorporate Photoshop Touch into your workflow is hard to say. What works best for one person may not be true for everyone. Photoshop Touch obviously doesn't have all the capabilities of its desktop counterpart but it does have the ease of use and portability of being on a tablet. Personally, I like using Photoshop Touch for editing images taken with the iPad or my iPhone for convience versus transferring to transfer to the computer, or even if I still do, I can do some of the initial edits from the tablet first. Its nice when I only have the tablet available and not a computer. For images I take with my DSLR I always do my editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm able to make any adjustments on the computer much faster than on a tablet.
If you have the option to shoot in both Jpeg and RAW that might be good option (best of both worlds). Do you have the ability to import images from the camera without using a computer - using a camera connectivity kit or something like that? My recommendation would be expermentation, test out different workflows on the tablet and see how you like it and find what works best for you.

Install Adobe Photoshop CS6 after Creative Cloud failed...

When I start my Adobe Photoshop, I alwasy get asked to reactivate my abonnement even if I bought a CS6 Version with a Serialnumber... This product is registrated in my Adobe Acount. What can I do to use my Adobe Photoshop with my serialkey instead with Creative Cloud.... (I used the Removal Tool from Adobe to remove my Creative Cloud Applications bevor I installed the CS6 Adobe Photoshop without Creative Cloud..)

Claudias31518194 what specific error do you receive them you open Photoshop CS6? Did you previously evaluate the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop? If so I would recommend removing all installed Adobe Creative software titles and reinstalling the versions you plan to continue using.
Without doing so you may still have upgraded components installed which could lead to unexpected results similar to the repeated request to activate. You can find details regarding the uninstall process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
If you need a fresh copy of the retail installation files for Creative Suite 6 they are available at Download CS6 products.

When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported no installed apps. In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run

When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
Peter

I still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe.

Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
What is the problem?

Hi ErstwhileCreative,
I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday. Downgraded cloud storage allowance to 2GB and data directories on hard drive messed up.

Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday.
After the update it seems to have downgraded my business account to free creative cloud, I say this because my data allowance in the adobe cloud has been reduced from 20Gb to 2Gb - My last monthly payment was taken as normal so it is not a non-payment issue. This is a problem since I have over 5Gb currently stored. Following the update, as the creative cloud indicated synching in progress but I could see the allowance reduced to 2GB I paused the synch for fear of loss of my critical work data. There now seems to be an issue in the Adobe bridge, with two directories on my hard drive. One is called Creative Cloud (Unkown) with an old creation date which seems to contain all my data. The other directory is called Creative Cloud but only contains about a tenth of the data and was created subsequent to the update of the Creative Cloud application.
So I have 2 issues to resolve:
1 - Adobe - please tell me why my cloud allowance is reduced to 2GB. My account payments are up to date so please do something about this.
2 - How do I safely handle the data directories so that the synch can continue without data loss?
Thanks

My adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work.

my adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work. Each time I input my presenter code at creativecloud/redeem it returns a message 'ooops, this code has been redeemed.'

I got both installed but on installing Presenter keeps giving errors that a previous version is installed on the computer and cannot proceed. I verified that there is no previous version and keep redoing the install and get stuck AGAIN and AGAIN at this point.
I also verified that I have the latest version of Flash on Chrome and I have the latest version. Why is Adobe so all over on downloading/installing their products. I (and other paying customers) cannot waste more time on this very simple procedure just because the software packages are not packaged properly or. the teams in charge of ensuring the products DID NOT correctly package the products securely (with the updates included) and more importantly, ensured that the products were linked to user accounts who purchased them.
