All Adobe Creative Cloud apps fail to work, creating new user Home folder fixed it.

We have Adobe Creative Cloud device licenses.    I had a user contact me yesterday with these problems.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - error opening, "could not complete your request because the file is locked do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file photoshop"
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - error opening, "the operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
Adobe InDesign CC 2014 - would crash when opening, no error given
These same apps worked when logged in as a different user.
None of these worked:
I tried removing all kinds of user Adobe preferences, Application Support files, etc.
Deleted ~/.adobe
I fixed permissions on the user's home folder.
Renamed user's Home/Library to LibraryBak.
Uninstalling and reinstalling CC.
What finally worked was creating a new user and copying the contents of the broken user home directory over, except for Home/* level hidden files. (eg: .adobe, bash_history)   Basically I just copied over the visible folders and used the Terminal to copy of the hidden ~/Library folder.
Does anyone have any idea what the exact cause was?  What file/folder could've been deleted to fix this instead of the longer route I took?

This wasn't answered and I see that it's still not resolved.

  • My Adobe Creative Cloud apps won't work

    I just installed the apps from Adobe Creative Cloud.
    When I launch the apps they'll start up but they'll close right after.

  • Multiple Issues with Adobe Creative Cloud app.

    I'm having multiple issues with the Adobe Creative Cloud app.
    1. Neither Photoshop CC nor Prelude CC get past the 47% mark when installing. They constantly give me "Installation Failed" messages. When I click on "Learn More", I'm told that:
    "Installation Failed
    Errors during Installation.(7)
    More Information"
    So naturally, I click on More Information to get the following thrown at me (none of which I understand):
    Exit Code: 7 Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:   -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------  - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s)    ERROR: 12/01/13 13:16:06:425 | [INFO] |  | OOBE | DE |  |  |  | 6076 | ---------- CustomHook_Helperx64 ---- Start ----------  12/01/13 13:16:06:426 | [ERROR] |  | OOBE | DE |  |  |  | 6076 | Cannot load function name 'CSInstallerCustomHookProc' from library C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\uninstall\{5F816B76-62F3-41C9-B651-27F49F25F50B}.data.

    2. I installed Lightroom 5, then uninstalled it. When I went back to re-install it, the Adobe Creative Cloud app wouldn't let me. It states that my Lightroom 5 is "Up to date" and is in my "Your Apps" section, not in the "Find New Apps" section. I've double checked my Programs and Features in Control Panel, and it's not there. I cleaned my registry, and it's still there. I deleted the "opm.db" file in my OOBE folder, and restarted CC - still nothing.
    I've got to say, guys. I'm not very happy with the amount of time I've spent just trying to install programs on my PC. While the plan is for this to be intuitive at some point, it's not very functional at the moment. Any help you can provide me would be amazing - if you can provide it sooner than later, I'd be over the moon.
    Thanks.

    I fixed it. I fixed it on my own. My journey took over a week (forty hours of back and forths, trial and error, and service!!) and included multiple calls, multiple online chats, unanswered forum posts, Twitter conversations with the Adobe Customer Service team, remote access sessions with Adobe technical teams, and finally this series of emails. In the end, I had to figure it out myself. I'm not happy - not with the time it took, and not with the level service I received based on the urgency that I made clear.
    For anyone else that had this issue (or similar), here is what I did to fix it. This may seem excessive, but that's because I didn't know what else to do. Some of these steps may be redundant, or not required... but I wouldn't know because once I saw that it was working, I just kept going.
    Anyway, here is the solution I came upon (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit):
    1) I uninstalled every single Adobe product (including Flash Player, Acrobat Player, Air, and Digital Editions).
    2) I ran the Cleaner Tool (which is not very good) and came across errors in trying to delete certain folders.
    3) I restarted my computer in Safe Mode, and logged into Windows 7 under my Administrator account.
    4) I manually went into every folder that contained the words "Adobe" and deleted everything. This includes my Program Data folder, my Program Files folders (both x86 and 64-bit), my AppData folders, my Roaming folders, my Temp folders - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that contained any trace of Adobe, I deleted.
    5) I ran Microsoft Disk Cleanup and Piriform CCleaner to clean my registry and temp files.
    6) I restarted my computer using the normal boot process and logged into Windows as Administrator.
    7) I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud installer.
    8) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
    9) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Premiere Pro.
    10) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
    11) I ran the Creative Cloud installer, and installed Photoshop.
    12) I restarted my computer again, and logged into Windows as Administrator.
    13, 14, 15...) I ran the Creative Cloud installer and installed whatever programs I needed, then I IMMEDIATELY restarted my computer before installing anything else.
    Hope this helps. Good luck!

  • Adobe 2014.1 Not Showing in Adobe Creative Cloud App

    Hi Folks,
    I previously opened a similar discussion. Re: 2014.1 App Updates Not Showing Up in Creative Cloud. The solution in the aforementioned discussion does not work in this new context.
    1. Reimage laptop with clean Mavericks 10.9 install, with Adobe CC preinstalled using CCP 1.4 and pre serialized.
    2. Enter my Adobe ID into Adobe Creative Cloud App. My Adobe ID has a valid CC subscription.
    3. Adobe 2014.1 app updates do not show up, except for Muse 2014.
    4. The Adobe Creative Cloud App did not think that Photoshop or any of the other Adobe CC Apps were installed, because I was given the option to "Install Photoshop"
    5. So, I "installed" Photoshop from the Adobe CC app. Still no updates
    6. Uninstall, reinstall. No updates.
    7. Checked for the existence of AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat in
    Location: <Startup Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    This file does not exist on my system: it's just not there. So that fix will not work.
    8. And yes, I logged in and out of Creative Cloud, and Quit the Adobe CC app and restarted. No luck.
    Help.
    A.

    I am not sure about the CC Packager so the following is more general:
    What version of PS do you actually have installed? 
    PS CC 2014.2.1 is the current version.
    Here are links to various updates to see what the current versions are:

  • Downloading the Adobe Creative Cloud app opens Adobe Product Manager but never updates it

    I've tried seveal times to download the Adobe Creative Cloud app but each time it opens Adobe Product Manager and then never updates APM to the Creative Cloud app nor does it give me any options to install the CC app.  Note: I've used adobe cleaner to clean my manager and did a fresh install of the latest Adobe Product Manager.  This allowed me to at least see all of the other CC programs and install several of them.  Its my understanding that APM is suppose to update itself to the CC app but it never does.  I'd really like to have the CC app to interact with the cloud as is intended.  plz advise and help.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud App Cannot Connect to Server

    After updating the Adobe Creative Cloud update manager, I can no longer log on to the server.  I assume that since the App Manager disappeared after the update, the new Adobe Creative Cloud app replaces it.

    Hi Blaylockimagery,
    What is the exact error message you are getting? If I understand correctly you were able to update Adobe Application Manager to the Creative Cloud desktop app but the desktop is not working because of a server error. That right?

  • Adobe Creative Cloud app doesn't run

    Just tried to use my newly Adobe Creative Cloud app today after signing up for an Adobe creative cloud account. I have Mavrick Version 10.9.3 and I cannot run the application Adobe creative cloud app. Every time I run the program it starts to load and then exits immediately with no error. Talked to Adobe tech support was not able to resolve the problem. Anyone else having this problem?

    I have a similar problem, my CC desktop app just shows the loading animation, usually crashing as well. I've tried reinstalling the app but nothing seems to be working.
    Please post up if you find anything =)

    When I open Muse, I get a message that a new update is available.  When I hit install it just closes and nothing happens.  Then I got a message  I needed Adobe Creative Cloud App to resolve the issue.  I downloaded a copy of Creative Cloud desktop but it says that my Muse is up to date.  It was last updated in May but you have a new update today and it will not update.  I thought maybe I am not suppose to have the Creative Cloud update because all I have is the individual app Muse and the photography program.  So I uninstalled the CC desktop.  Then when I open Muse it says I need the CC desktop to help with the update.  So I get stopped either way.  Now I also had a Pre-Release Muse on my computer and I don't know if that complicated things.  Please advise.

    All future installs/updates of Muse (and most other Adobe apps) are through the Creative Cloud desktop app. Thus you do need to have it installed.
    Are you on Windows or Mac? What OS version?

    Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud App does not show downloaded apps and shows "download error"

    I am not a full paying member just yet, and have been using Photoshop on trial for my graphic design courses. With the app, instead of showing me that my 30 day trial is over, I get a download error and contact customer support message. I have completely deleted and redownloaded the Creative Cloud App twice already, but am not sure how to fix this problem so I am still unable to download my free trials before purchase.
    How can I fix this problem?

  • How can I restrict Adobe Creative Cloud to run for just one mac user?

    Can anyone help with this please ...
    (This is about how the Adobe Creative Cloud app works with OS X User accounts.  I have posted it on Adobe's Support forums, but nobody there had the solution.  Perhaps someone from the Apple/OSX end can help?)
    I'm running Adobe CC on a 2010 iMac (OS X Yosemite).  I'm delighted with it, however ...
    Several family members share the same iMac using separate user accounts.  Adobe CC seems to run on startup for all of them which is annoying for them as they get messages about updates etc, plus it takes up unnecessary system resources (particularly as we tend to use 'switch user' and Activity Monitor shows an instance of Adobe CC running for each user).
    It's not listed in the Login Items list under System Preferences->Users & Groups, so I can't disable it there for other users, However it appears as an icon in the menu bar for any/all users a few moments after logging in - so something is triggering it to run, but I can't see what. 
    How can I restrict Adobe CC to run just for my user account please?
    Thanks
    Richard

    The startup item is likely inside the /Library/LaunchAgents folder.
    It will be something named like com.adobe.creativecloud.plist.
    Move it out of the /Library/LaunchAgents folder into the User/Library/LaunchAgents folder for all the users that need it.
    I don't know if it will work, but as long as Adobe wrote the launch agent correctly, it will work. Given that it is Adobe we're talking about, my bet is no.
