Confused about the new Creative Cloud

Dear all,
Since I read adout the new Creative Cloud I am confused about what is going to happen to my license for Adobe Lightroom. Are they going to still maintain the desktop applications as well or will I have to pay for a yearly license if I want to use the new versions of Lightroom?
I am a casual photographer and I love using Lighroom for my pictures but I don't think that paying for a yearly license because I am not spending a lot of time editing pictures.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Many thanks,
Lucian

The CC is geared towards Pro users, schools etc. LR spans both Pro and casual users. So from what I can garner Lightroom will stay as it is for the next iteration at least. I quoted that bit as my opinion is that that is the very reason why Lightroom will be available outside the cloud with a cloud version available with intergration features with the rest of the CC suite.

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released?

What do you think of the new creative cloud cc that was just released? I'm using it now and I think it's great. It's cs6 on stereroids lol More new features that people who fully paid for cs6 should of had.
I do wish the cloud standard price changes to 29.99 a month for all users so everyone gets a chance to enjoy the cloud.

I just downloaded CC, and still have all my CS6 apps as backup. Bridge CC (64-bit) is showing the same unacceptable performance I had with CS6 version. Can't believe that Adobe is so inept. I did fix the CS6 version but I forget how I did it. CS6 version of Bridge is near instantaneous. And it's not a matter of building the cache. It takes the program forever just to respond to a simple mouse click in the menu bar.
Photoshop CC crashed my machine, whereas CS6 version runs perfectly. Afraid to download any further apps.
Adobe 11 failed to install because it think's prior version of the that program is still on the computer. I never installed Acrobat 11 on this machine. Just Acrobat 10, which also got the stupid 30-day "refuse to start" bug, so I'm using Acrobat 9.5 which works flawlessly. Funny how the newer the code from Adobe, the worse it gets for its customers.
I'm using Win 7 Pro, 16GB mem, Nvidia 2800M video card on Thinkpad with i7-920XM chip.

Confused about Adobe IDs + Creative Cloud + DPS App Builder.

The "Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Getting Started Guide" recommends having the multiple email/multiple Adobe IDs for Accounts. (Master/Admin/Application/Builder/Designer) Great! I love being extremely organized and worked with my IT department to set these up. Now, initially, we are only going to release a couple SE apps (free w/CC), but hope to do a multi-folio down the road. So, for the SE app, I'm working through the "Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing iPad Apps with DPS, Single Edition" and I get to the page about building the app with DPS App Builder. Here it states (on page 49 for those following along) that if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you must use the same Adobe ID that you use to sign in to Creative Cloud. Well, of course I'm a CC subscriber. But with the company that I work at, the CC Adobe ID is associated to my work email address. So this is where I'm confused because back over in that Getting Started Guide it talks about not using an account tied to a person (which is what using my work email does). So what Adobe IDs am I suppose to use and when?

Ok, so we had a whole bunch of internal emails about this The person you were working with on Twitter was kind enough to reach out to me to make sure we gave you the right information. Turns out that SE *is* now available with Creative Cloud for Teams. This was news to me!
Back to your original question: you should sign in with your Adobe ID. If your Adobe ID for CC for Teams is your corporate email address then that's the Adobe ID you should use.

A popular problem; Can't install the new Creative Cloud Tool

Sorry to bore everbody to death with this but after mauling my way thru literally piles of bits of threads and so forth off google, the end result is lots of confusion.
My situation: Running win 7 64 bit (uptodate)
I've been running Creative cloud tools for nearly a year, but this latest update or maybe its not the latest but the update during June... has left me unable to install the new CC tool.
When I run the installer, it ends with the silly and useless message:
"We've encountered the following issues:
Creative Cloud desktop failed to install"
So far no tools have failed to start, at least not those I regularly use (PS, LR, Bridge, etc)
So, I see some posts suggesting the 'cleaner' and when I read the README with it, it sounds really time consuming and a royal pain to follow the instructions... all the backing up etc etc etc.
I'm hoping someone can layout a sort of outline of how to procede here. I've read a few reports of folks succeeding in getting past the problem... but not a discription of how they did it.
I really do not want to completely disrupt my work and my time going thru some ponderous plan only to find it didn't work and no progress has been made.
So if there is a known set of steps to take that are likely to end in success please someone lay them out. I haven't found a complete discription of how to procede.

Hi everybody,
the initial reply from Jeff is correct, but the error occurs on my Windows 7 64bit every time a new update for Creative Cloud Desktop is available. I cannot remember a single update of this tool, that ever worked. I always have to uninstall the previous version (which is still there!), delete the OOBE directory and reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop from the Creative Cloud website. This tool seems to be very buggy.
What I cannot understand further is, that while installing the Creative Cloud Desktop (I mean a successful installation process), my explorer.exe is being restarted close to the end of the installation process. This seems to be an unusual behaviour while installing an application like the Creative Cloud Desktop - in fact, I cannot remember any other normal application to have such an effect on the explorer.exe while being installed.
What's wrong?

Adobe Typekit in the new Creative Cloud is not syncing any fonts, Any suggestions?

In the last version of Creative Cloud, Adobe Typekit worked perfectly. Now, I have a ton of documents using Typekit fonts and they won't sync. Does anyone know why?

Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?

I'm a bit confused about the new Mail, Contacts prefs

Is anyone else a bit confused with all the new sharing features in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars panel? If I can create address book accounts directly, why would I need to share the "on my Mac" contact list?
Why is it that I can use the Microsoft Exchange for Google on my iPhone but it won't work in Lion? Has anyone gotten it to work?
Can anyone share how they have theirs setup and what do they use each one for?

Yes, you can create a new site, publish to MobileMe and redirect your domain name to it. More info on that can be had here:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct17114.html
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
FWIW MMe tends to be much slower overall and has no ear to ear support in case you need it. For a personal site it's OK but for a commercial site you would be better off on a commercial hosting server.

Does the new creative cloud offer replace the old one?

I qualified for the old offer as I own CS5 but was waiting until the end of December to maximize the value of my already purchased LR5. Now with the new offer I can't tell if I still have until the end of December or do I have to sign up by Dec 2nd. Does anyone know? I've tried to call Adobe but the hold music was going to put me in the looney bin.

They co-exist.

The new creative cloud libraries in Photoshop and Illustrator CC won't connect. Any suggestions?

In both Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC I get the same message. "Sorry, we couldn't connect to the server. Using retry does no good. I am signed in in both Illustrator and Photoshop.

Thanks for the info, but none of those solutions seem to apply here. I am using an iMac with 16 gigs of RAM, running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. Shouldn't matter what browser I am using (Safari) as this problem is within Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC. Here is a screen shot from Photoshop.

Premiere Pro is not interpreting transparency correctly with the Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447 update

Yesterday, I updated to Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447. I found that after the update, both Premiere Pro CC (2014) and Premiere Pro CC are not ready transparency layers and alpha layers correctly. I have some lower third logos that I use on multiple projects and they are showing up more opaque than they should. Additionally, I have an export preset that uses a watermark. This watermark is showing up more opaque than it should too. I have checked both graphics in After Effects with the new Creative Cloud update and all graphics look fine. It seems to be an issue that is isolated in Premiere. The issue only happens when there is a video layer underneath the graphics. When the graphics are viewed with no video layer underneath, the transparency looks as it should. I have attached a few images showing the problems. They show graphics with and without video layers beneath.

I was able to resolve the issue by going into File>Project Settings>General and changing the Render from GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) to Software Only. It appears there is an issue with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics card. I was told by a call tech at Adobe that there are issues with the D300, D500, and D700 Graphics cards. However, I have an Intel Iris graphics card on my MacBook Pro and was having the same transparency issue. So, I'm skeptical that the issue is just with the graphics card. The transparency issue did not start on BOTH computers until the latest CC upgrade. For now, the Software Only renderer option fixes the issue. I hope to see a fix in the next CC update. FYI: The Renderer needs to be changed to Software Only in both Premiere Pro Project Settings and Media Encoder Preferences.

I am seriously thinking about moving to the adobe Creative Cloud. My concern is that if my design business runs into hardship and I can no longer afford the monthly payments, what happens to my software and existing files?

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
"If I decide to stop my membership, will I still be able to use my Creative Suite software and the other components of Creative Cloud?
When you cancel a month-to-month or annual membership purchased directly from Adobe or let a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased from a retailer expire, you will no longer have access to the Creative Suite applications, other desktop software, and services that are components of Creative Cloud. However, if you saved your work to your computer, you will continue to have access to those files. You will also have access to the same benefits as a free Creative Cloud member, which include 2GB of storage space (reduced from 20GB), the ability to sync and store your files, access to a free 30-day trial of the desktop software that has not already been installed and provisioned as part of your paid membership, and access to the free level of services included with Creative Cloud."
Having said that, if you maintain a perpetual license, you will have to comply with the new Adobe one-version-back upgrade policy.
So when CS7 is released, you must upgrade in order to qualify for upgrade pricing for CS8. Likewise when CS8 is released, you must upgrade in order to qualify for upgrade pricing for CS9.
There is of course nothing mandatory about upgrading but bear in mind that you can no longer skip a couple of versions and get up to date every 5 years or so at upgrade pricing. You'd have to pay full price for the new suite all over again.
So it's a matter of costing the various options out over a 3 or even 5 year period and budgeting for it.
If you're running a design business, you perhaps also need to consider whether the Adobe software design tools are mission critical or not. Will your other expenses exceed the US$600/year required for the Cloud?

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.
