Creative Cloud Desktop App Broken

Dear Adobe,
I have spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get the Creative Cloud Desktop App to work properly on two different OS X machines.
On one machine the process is running (activity monitor) with no visible signs of the app. no windows or icons in the menu bar.
On the other I get the download error contact customer support message.
I have had customer support control my machine and fail to rectify the issue (case number 185496471). I have tried all the fixes I can find such as deleting OOBs, enabling root and whatever.
Please fix this now Adobe …. I have wasted enough time trying to fix this and I am too busy trying to produce graphics etc to do any more beta testing for you.
kind regards
Nic

After two massive crashes while using After Effects that required complete restarts my Creative Cloud Desktop app mysteriously started function correctly again. No idea why but at least I can now stop chasing my tail.

  • Creative cloud desktop app show APPD download error

    Creative Cloud desktop app show APPS 'download error' - gives the option to reload applications or contact customer service
    Reload doesn't work
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app - same error
    Trouble began after I attempted to download a Bridge update which wouldn't complete

    Spent 2.5 hours on support chat and screen sharing with adobe support today, and after many uninstalls, CC clean ups etc, they could not get it working.
    Like you, it has always worked until today.
    The only thing we could get to work was to login to os x as root user and run Creative cloud from there.
    It's a PITA, but I am used to it because my desktop CC installer has been broken since last year, so I now have two computers with broken CC installers.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
    good luck

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager never self update correctly

    I have no idea what is wrong with the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager. I downloaded and installed it ever since I subscribed to Creative Cloud. EVERY TIME when there is an update to the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager, it will prompt me to update which I did. However, EVERY TIME the update would fail and I would either have a broken CC Desktop App Manager or, started recently, it would prompt me to update again.
    The only solution I could find was manually uninstall CC Desktop App Manager and then reinstall it.
    Perhaps the CC Desktop App Manager is not needed?

  • Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

    I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
    Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
    It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
    I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
    I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
    He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
    I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
    Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
    I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • CC apps only have try button in Creative Cloud desktop app

    I received a free 1 year membership because i attended the Adobe Max Conference. I activated the membership in May 2013 and when I go to my profile at adobe.com it says the creative cloud membership is active until May 2014.
    I updated my Creative Cloud desktop app yesterday to download the CC apps and did not have any problems or get any errors. All my CS6 programs are listed in the app along with the CC programs but the CC programs have a try button, not install button. Do I need to re-enter my creative cloud activation code again somewhere else so the programs I download are not trial versions.
    I'm using OS10.8.4

    Jodi I am showing 4 successful activation requests from yesterday.  If you are continuing to experience difficulties then I would recommend contacting our support team.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

  • The 'Apps' tab in my Creative Cloud Desktop app shows a Download Error

    I have tried uninstalling, downloading, and reinstalling Creative Cloud Desktop and continue to get the Download Error prompt.  It either shows the Download Error prompt or it continues to just think and think and think.  All the other tabs work normally. I've also signed out and signed in of my CC account multiple times . . . with the same outcome.
    All of this started after I had updated all the available updates . . . I was also looking to install Lightroom CC.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App refuses log-in for Windows 8

    I've been getting this "unknown server error" for 4 days on my windows 8 creative cloud desktop app. I cannot install other CC aps until you resolve this.
    -- This has been a problem ever since creative cloud FORCED me to "upgrade" the creative cloud desktop app last weekend. 
    The Desktop CC app worked fine before the forced upgrade.
    The error looks like this on my screen...
    http://s24.postimg.org/rta8cf9dh/retry.png
    To solve the problem, you must explain how do I get the upgrade creative cloud app to read my correct log in info?
    I'm using windows 8, AND I've already tried the following...
    1. re-installing creative cloud from the creative cloud website (did it 4 times now)
    2. changing the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE_old" (did not work)
    3. I also tried installing this exe: PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe , which did not work

    Hi Terranovascreen,
    Which OOBE folder have you renamed ? There are 2 which exist.
    Please follow the suggestion in the link below which might help :-

  • Creative Cloud desktop app totally empty - not even Preferences...?

    I have from before Production Premium CS6 and Lightroom 4 installed on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM).
    I joined then CC Photography Package and after login to my account I went to the DL section to download one of the programs and install it. The Creative cloud desktop app is installed, but it is empty. Not only is there neither a Photoshop CC nor a Lightroom 5 there, there's no menu and if I try to determine the app version as in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html - there's not even a Preferences to select...
    I get no error message, and going to the Download center and trying to download Photosgop or Lightroom just gets me a blink of "waiting for creative.adobe.com..." and then focus is changed to the empty Creative Cloud desktop app.
    Checking my account I can see that both my product licences for CS6/LR4 are there, as is my CC Photography package.
    I can add that I have restarted the system, reinstalled the Creative Cloud app and tried other things I can think of. But I still only get an empty Creative Cloud app, without a possibility to login to my Adobe account.

  • Why is it so hard to find the download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app?

    So - I have a subscription and I needed to move the location where the files were on my computer. The easiest path is to uninstall and reinstall. So I used the Adobe uninstaller tool (which, even though I told it to uninstall everything, does not uninstall everything). Then I rebooted. All Adobe CS creative cloud desktop apps are gone. I log into my Adobe account online, and the only thing I can find are downloads for downloading "trials" of the adobe apps - this is whilst being logged in. And to download the trial it starts to ask me questions about how I will use it etc. so I didn't bother.
    When I go to the page that has what ostensibly looks like it will lead to the Adobe creative suite downloader/desktop tool, it takes me to the list of ALL adobe desktop app "trials".
    I finally found it by hunting around in the help screens and Google for five minutes, but it's still obnoxious that there is no link to directly download the Creative Cloud desktop app here, which is where it sends you:
    http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html
    Instead all you see are a bunch of "Trial versions", even though these are included with the adobe creative cloud subscription.
    So I don't really have a question, more of a rant at the stupidity of the way this is set up. When I'm logged in, I should be able to access the downloads, or at least the tool that lets me download the downloads, without spending time hunting around for it. It's ridiculous that it's not set up that way currently.

    Same with me here is the link I found and used
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud?version=2.0

  • Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app; proxy password

    Hi,
    We have some trouble with setting up Adobe Creative Cloud. Our department has an VIP portal on Adobe in which we can provide 'seats' to our users.
    Recently we have added an InDesign CC to an user. The user has already have the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app downloaded and installed !, but is asked to fill in the Proxy Password (Windows).
    We have tried to use our credentials and the users' but it didn't help. Also we tried to remove opm.db file from the computer and re-open the desktop app. Didn't work either.
    Adobe Chat Support doesn't help either.
    Can anyone please help us to solve this, so that we can install the requested product for the user?
    Your help will be highly appreciated.

    Hi Jos,
    Adobe creative cloud desktop does support proxy auto config file however you may need to open outbound for below Adobe links on your firewall.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

    The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.

  • My Creative Cloud Desktop App says that apps are installed that aren't.

    Important thing to note: I system restored yesterday, which removed the programs that I had installed the day before.
    After my earlier discussion received no answer, I searched for more solutions and found one from only two weeks ago that now suggested that the OOBE folder I was renaming was not the correct one. I should go into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe and rename the OOBE folder there to OOBE_old. While I'm searching for this I'm on the phone with a customer service representative I annoyingly cannot remember the name of who is asking for remote control of my computer, which I am loathe to give him, obviously. So I tell him that I'm in the process of executing this solution which he says is fine. So, I execute the solution and finally, the Creative Cloud Desktop App does not launch with a blank screen! It actually asks for my username and password! I enter it and get to the normal page where it has the list of installed apps etc. Except, there is no trace of those installed apps on my computer, indeed, the Creative Cloud Files folder is empty. They are not in my list of installed programs. Because, of course, they were removed yesterday by the System Restore. But, it now does not give me the option to reinstall it. I tell the customer service representative this. Then, the customer service representative hangs up on me. Hangs up on me.
    I still don't have a solution, and the man who could have given me one clearly did not deign to do so. Is he representative of your customer service?
    I more care about this problem, to be perfectly honest.

    For the benefit of anyone who experiences the same problems as me, this is what I did to solve it:
    I executed the Adobe CleanerTool to wipe Creative Cloud. Then I executed it again to wipe all evidence of Creative Cloud apps. Now! It works! No thanks to the customer service.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app opens but is blank.

    Creative Cloud desktop app opens but is blank.
    Here's what I see..
    Nothing shows up.
    Tried to uninstall, with intention of reinstalling but when I used the uninstaller a popup notice says that it is uninstalled but with errors. No more detailed info of errors either.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

  • Uninstall Failed, Not listed in Creative Cloud Desktop App list

    I keep trying to uninstall ANY and ALL of the Creative Cloud programs downloaded on my computer - Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro - and I keep getting the message in the screen shot I've attached. This goes for the CC AND CC 2014 versions. I have them all. None are appearing in my Creative Cloud deskop app. It is saying I have no apps downloaded. Right now I am in the middle of installing all of the CC 2014 versions (even though the programs panel of my computer (Windows 7 64 bit) says all of these programs are already downloaded, screenshot included below also).
    In fact, moments ago - today is 10/24 - my install of InDesign CC 2014 just completed yet my computer says it was installed on 10/6???? Yes, even after a reboot.
    Please note: This morning I started by uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop App and then reinstalling it successfully.
    AND YES, I have already tried the Cleaner Tool 5 times, so please DO NOT suggest that. It does not work. I've also rebooted my system several times.
    There is no firewall on my computer. Virus checking is not blocking it either.
    Any one else experiencing the same? I need this fixed yesterday. I haven't been able to work in 24 hours.
    Please help!

    I'm experiencing this same problem where I can't uninstall or install any CC products, and haven't found a resolution yet. The cleaner tool definitely doesn't help and I keep getting messages that the uninstall failed.

  • Is there any way the Creative Cloud desktop app can indicate which Market items have already been downloaded?

    Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with the Creative Cloud desktop app, or something is going wrong with my installation, but I receive seem to receive no indication that I have already downloaded an item when I open CC --> Assets --> Market. Looking in my Libraries, I now find some items I've downloaded up to 4 times. Is there some indication I am missing? Is my installation of CC desktop messed up? Or should I suggest that there should be some indication of whether an item has been downloaded or not on that Market page in the app? Even when I go specifically to downloaded items, none of those items has the cloud with the arrow icon grayed out. The only time that icon grays out is when I download the item and keep that page/window open to download other items. As soon as that page/window is closed, the next time I open it, all icons are no longer grayed out, so I no longer have a clue as to what I downloaded unless I open my libraries in my browser. Seems a bit primitive.

    Hi Elba, Thank you for your time and effort in researching this. Unfortunately, the above method you describe is more than a little awkward. When one shows the Downloaded window, as you illustrate, that greys out all the individual categories. So, if I were looking for brushes, I'd have to check if I already had it by going to the downloaded window, then navigate back to brushes by first going to Featured or Recent, and then to Brushes, (even All Categories is not clickable, though it looks active). I'd also need to have a very, very good memory, or be going back and forth very often, with how close some brushes appear, and how similar their names are.
    Instead, in a browser window, I go to my library from my adobe.com page, so I can see what brushes I have while the window where I can download brushes is open:
    However, this still seems awkward to me. Adobe could grey out the icons to indicate they had already been downloaded, while still allowing them to be clickable and downloadable. I guess more code would be needed. I see examples of this every day in both Apple's app store, and Google's play store. For that matter, even the Adobe CC desktop app itself informs me of what Desktop Apps I have installed on each computer, and even whether they need to be updated. I guess, though, the situation for all of those is a bit different, not being quite so cloud-based.

Maybe you are looking for
