CC Desktop app won't re-install

Just a quick issue that I can't seem to get to the bottom of...  I'm trying to re-install CC desktop on my mac because the icon disappeared from the top of my screen. So I tried re-installing and I keep getting an error message saying: "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'"   So it's basically sending me around in circles. Lol, has anyone have any idea what's going on? Help and Feedback would be appreciated!   Cheers

  • 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.

  • 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

    @John T Smith
    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.

  • Is there a way for the CC desktop app to recognize already installed software?

    Is there a way for the CC desktop app to recognize already  installed software? Initially the CC app had all my installed software  listed but since one of the patches it no longer  knows what I  have installed. I can still use everything but I'm worried I will  encounter issues if I am unable to change this situation. I have already looked through multiple discussions looking for an answer so if I have missed the solution my bad.
    Cheers

    You would have to run teh Cleaner tool and reinstal lfrom scratch. Something botched your installer database.

  • CC Desktop app won't install

    CC desktop asked to update. The update failed and caused the app to stop on by Surface 2 with windows 8.1. Remove and reinstall fails to restore the desktop app. The install fails with the progress bar about half complete. No error code install just quits with windows error message. Any suggestions?

    I decided to try removing all CC applications but that operation also.failed due to the lack of application manager. I couldn't get that to install either so I finally found the cc cleaner tool and had it remove everything.
    CC Cleaner and a pass through regedit getting rid of superfluous stuff got the system in a position where it would actually install the desktop app.
    Bottom line of all this is that CC is basically a pretty unstable system. This is evident from many forum posts. In addition, the live chat function doesn't provide any support as nobody is there to answer the bell.

  • CC desktop app won't let me sign in

    Problem started today on my PC: Get a "You've been signed out" message when I open the desktop app. I try to sign in but it won't let me. I've tried deleting the opm.db file and re-installing the app. No luck.

    Hi Terry,
    In addition to Jo's suggestion, you may also try the steps as mentioned the help document:
    You are no longer signed into your Creative Cloud applications

  • Adobe air Won't install apps; won't even install

    I tried installing the new seesmic desktop app and kept claiming the package was damaged, so I used perfect uninstaller to uninstall adobe air and tried a reinstall, it now says I need admin rights which is odd because I'm logged into an admin account.

  • CC desktop app not showing correct install status for Photoshop

    I have Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom installed but the desktop app shows Photoshop is not installed.
    Photoshop runs without problems via a shortcut on the desktop.
    The Home tab shows Photoshop CC was installed.
    The Apps tab doesn't show it - but implies that I can install it ...
    If I click on install, then I get an error ... probably because it is already installed.

    log out of your cc app and then log back in.

  • CC Desktop App doesn't recognise installed apps

    Using Windows 7 I have installed CC Desktop App and then installed several apps including Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, etc. When I was installing everthing the desktop app recognised that it had installed all the apps, but since reboot it now thinks I haven't installed any apps, so I'm not getting updates. The Home tab still shows when I installed everything, but when I click on the Apps tab it says I haven't installed anything yet.
    Worked fine on my Macbook Pro, but although the apps I've installed on Windows 7 PC are ok, the CC desktop app is not working properly.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I went and uninstalled the CC desktop App and simply tried re-installing it as a first step (prior to using the cleaner tool). When I reinstalled everything was fine. It recognised the apps I have installed, until...
    I changed the preferences in the CC desktop app to International English and suddenly I had no apps installed again! Switched it back to North American English and they reappear! That would be a bug.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync or recognise apps

    While running OSX 10.6.8 I installed CC apps. But CC desktop app needed newer OS. So I upgraded to 10.8.4 and installed CC desktop app. It prompts me to update my CS6 software (and I can't make these prompts go away) and tells me I have no apps installed. Also, file sync is non-existant and I have no "Creative Cloud Files" folder. I need to be able to sync because I have another Mac at home that I do work on. What to do?

    HI Steve633
    Do you happen to have the older Adobe Application Manager still installed? If so, then i would suggest that you uninstall the Adobe Application manager.
    I would suggest to perform the steps in Solution 1 & 2 of this help doc.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
    Then if you have not updated to the new Creative Cloud Application manager version Version 1.1.2.232 released on 9/4/2013 Then you can uninstall the older version from your system and click here to download the udpated software. https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    Then you should have the option for the Typekit font syncing. You can sign up for the early access to the Typkit fonts here if you have not done this already. http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-and-typekit-font-sync-rolling-out/
    Let me know if this works for you
    Thanks

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't launch

    I have downloaded the CC desktop app from the Adobe website and everything seems to install without a problem. However, when I double-click to launch the app or try to load it from the start menu the egg-timer appears for a little while but nothing loads.
    Any suggestions?

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

    I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
    My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
    Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
    BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
    So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
    My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

    Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully.  You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • 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?
