Creative Cloud and Windows 8.1 issues

Hi. I recently bought a lap top with windows 8 on it. I then installed Creative Cloud and installed some CC apps no problem. Then I updated to 8.1 and now the CC application does not work. All of the apps that I was able to download work fine, it's just the creative cloud app that does not work i.e. blank screen. Does anyone know about any fix for this?
Thanks

Just an update to my previous post -  I have resolved the issue.
It turned out to be a Windows 8.1 User account problem. Not sure why it happens however I managed to get it working by creating a new Admin account and opening Creative Cloud from there...This worked fine for me, I installed all my packages.
I then returned to my orginal admin account and all apps functioned perfectly. I couldn't figure out why the orginal admin account had problems however the new one worked fine.
Give it a try...

  • CS3, Creative Cloud and Windows 8

    I currently have CS3 running on Windows 7. If I subscribe to creative cloud and then upgrade to a new computer running Windows 8, will my Adobe products still work?

    Hi jerz2006,
    Thanks for contacting adobe forums,
    As we understand you want to upgrade to Creative Cloud first then want to upgrade the OS to windows 8.
    We will suggest you that first upgrade the windows to windows 8, then try to install Creative Cloud. which is also recommended
    Please update of it works or not.

    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?

    Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have?  You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.

    Hi dmomoney24  ,
    Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
    Please revert if the problem persists.

  • I upgraded creative cloud in windows 8 and it failed

    I upgraded creative cloud in windows 8 and it failed. I couldn't start it anymore. So I deleted the corrupt files and wanted to download creative cloud again, but can't get it. What should I do?

    Oldenough7 what specific error messages do you receive?  I would recommend reviewing Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html for information on how to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • AMD FireGL GPU + Creative Cloud app = Color Depth & other Issues

    Hello,  I am writing this post to help anyone who may have ran into the same issues I am seeing with my AMD FireGL graphics adapter when using the Adobe Creative Cloud app on a windows 7 PC.
    I ran into a problem installing and setting up the Creative Cloud app on my new workstation that has an AMD FireGL graphics processor.
    First off, the system is new (dell precision m4800, with an AMD FireGL V M5100 GPU), and has all the most current drivers and updates available.. that is to say, this is not a hardware issue.
    The system operates just fine outside of the Creative Cloud app, but when I installed and attempted to login to Creative Cloud for access to download Illustrator, etc., the Creative Cloud app would open up and then only display a blank white page.  No graphics, no data, just white.  
    When I got stuck at this point I called Adobe support and spoke to a rep who had seen the issue before. The rep worked around the blank white page in CC by loading the windows device manager and manually disabling the AMD FireGL GPU device to re-install and login to the Creative Cloud app.   This temporarily forced windows to use the default/dummy VGA graphics driver supplied with windows.   With windows using the dummy 256-color vga driver we were able to get the creative cloud app running and get me logged in to install my design software. HOORAY!--or so I thought....
      At this point I assumed the issue was resolved, but I found that there was a new issue popping up every time I rebooted my system.  Windows would load and log me in using the 32bit color depth setting, but as soon as the Adobe Creative Cloud app started up, my color mode would switch to 256 colors... D`oh!  
    Obviously I don't want to run at only 256 colors, and neither should you!  Adobe, why does my color depth change to 256 colors every time the Creative Cloud app is loaded?
    If you want to temporarily reset the color depth to 32bit, you can go to Control Panel -> Display -> Adjust Resolution -> Advanced Settings -> Monitor Tab -> & select "True Color (32bit)" from the Colors drop-down menu.    Using this method will allow Adobe Creative Cloud app to continue running 24/7, however this is only a temporary fix, which will need to be applied every time the system is rebooted, or any time a user logs off then back in.. Frankly, its a bit of a PITA, so why bother?
    The permanent fix is simple.. go to Start -> & do a Search for "msconfig".   Once found, run the msconfig utility and switch to the "Startup" tab, where you will be presented with a list of boot time startup items.  Find the one labeled "Adobe Creative Cloud" and disable it by removing the check mark from the corresponding check box.   Then click OK.  You will be warned that a restart may be required.. go ahead and re-start.   This time, when the system boots, Adobe Creative Cloud will not load, and your color depth will remain at 32bit.  YAY!
    If need be you can always load up Creative Cloud manually from the start menu if you need it, but it will knock your color depth back to 256 colors.  Thus far i have had zero issues using adobe photoshop or illustrator without first loading the Creative Cloud app, so it isn't required.  If i need updates or need to access other features within the Creative Cloud app i can, but it doesnt need to run 24/7 to use other adobe apps.
    The short explanation is that Adobe is failing to fully and properly support the AMD FireGL graphics platform.  The adobe rep i spoke to essentially said the same thing, but made certain to blame the graphics device and not adobe software--sure thing boss.   The truth is that the FireGL and its varients have been on the market as long or longer than the nvidia products that are supported fully by adobe. 
    It is clear that Adobe has made a choice not to fully support AMD Workstation graphics (FireGL) since not only is the Creative Cloud app broken and causing problems, but also no graphics acceleration features work in any of my installed adobe apps.. I basically get a message saying "please us a supported graphics processor".  Seriously, how is FireGL not "Supported"?
    I am not an AMD or FireGL fanboy.. Frankly I cant stand AMD graphics adapters and I genuinely prefer nVidia on my personal systems.  At home, my 5 year old $100 nVidia gaming card is fully supported in all the adobe apps..
    At work, however, I have no choice what hardware is provided to me and this lack of FireGL support has negatively impacted my productivity more than once.  Admittedly, nvidia has much more market share than AMD in the workstation graphics realm, but that does not mean adobe should just ignore AMD completely!
    Hopefully this post will shed some light on issues with Adobe Creative Cloud app and FireGL graphics cards that others may be experiencing.
    Good Luck!

    Minor correction...  I called my GPU the FireGL, which is the old market name..  The current, proper market name is FirePro.. same line, just new branding after AMD purchased ATI.

  • Installed Creative Cloud and now cannot open inDesign.

    Hi Guys,
    I would love a little bit of help please.
    This was my setup before downloading Creative Cloud trial:
    - Windows 7 SP1
    - inDesign CS6 fully licensed
    - Photoshop CS6 trial mode, 11 days remaining.
    I then wanted to trial out a few other pieces of Adobe software so installed the Creative Cloud trial to make it easier to download them.
    Now however, my inDesign fails to launch. It shows the indesign.exe in Task Manager but no windows on screen. It slows down my computer whilst the process is active but its showing 0% CPU use.
    The trials I have downloaded via CC work great, the Photoshop that was on also still works.
    Could the Creative Cloud have knocked out my inDesign due to conflicting licenses?
    Please help!
    Kind Regards
    Steven x

    Hi Steven,
    You should be able to have both on the system without issue. I would just try uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign CS6 and re-enter the serial number.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

    Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
    See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

    Eugene:
      Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
    There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
    I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
    You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
    I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
    You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
    If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
    At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
    Yes, you can do that.
    If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
    It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.
