Creative Cloud desktop app logged out instead login

Hi,
I can't login to Creative Cloud on desktop Windows 7 x64 with my email. It's saying 'you have successfully logged out' instead 'you have successfully logged in'. I use Russian OS so actualiy I translated message from Russian.
Otherwise I can without any problems login to https://creative.adobe.com/ web page.
P.S. I'm prerelease member of some projects. During last 10 days CC was autoupdated and I think that update broke login system...

Language selection is disabled (greyed out) - Creative Cloud Desktop app

Hi,
Like the picture below shows, the language selection in the Creative Cloud Desktop app is disabled. (as well as everything else in the Apps tab)
I would like to change the language to English, but how?

Hi LarsOlsen,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
It will depend on your operating system. Windows users have reported the need to remove and reinstall the application for the langauge to switch.
Macintosh users have mostly reported the same behavior with the language changing without the need to reinstall.
This link may be helpful: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/change-installed-language.htm l.
You need to adjust the language setting in the Creative Cloud application. Please see Adjust the install language | Creative Cloud applications in the link
above.Please let us know if you require further assistance.
You can contact Adobe Support via http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

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.

How can I get the Creative Cloud Desktop app To work on Windows Vista?

Currently My CC Desktop app is a greyed out icon.
It has been on and off for months now.
I have called technical support several times and been directed to
1) Uninstall it
2) Run the cleaner
3) Turn AV Software off
4) Delet my prefrences
5) Delet Hosts file in Windows 32 folder
6) Restart, Restart,
7) Use a diffent User account. etc.
The apps work= PS, INDD, AE, PROJ, AI, DW, Fla, etc.
But the Creative Cloud Destop app does not. I have to use the web browser to upload or sync any files.
Anyone have any other ideas I welcome them.
My specs,
Running windows vista, on a very good HP machine.
I have been a loyal Adobe Customer, For more than 15 years.
I have been an Adobe Certified Expert for 3 years or more.
I work professionaly with this software as a teacher. I have taught this software to college grads. and now to highschool students.
Ususally Adobe is one of the best companies to deal? Please stop farming your support calls to other countries, The connections are poor, and the support is terrible and it is damaging your reputation.

Hi D2xS-Shooter,
I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

CCP - Desktop app greyed out (enabled by default)

Trying to create a new package in the newest version of CCP doesn't allow me to disable the Creative Cloud Desktop App. It is ticked by default and greyed out.
Why is this?

I too would like to know the answer to this!

Anyone have constant freezes when the Creative Cloud Desktop App is running?

Having a rather odd issue. I'm on CC 2014 latest versions. Mac OSX 10.9.5. Mac Pro 5,1 (12 core x 2.93, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 680).
Having total system freezes (no error messages or kernel panic) when the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager is running on a wired Ethernet Internet connection. Strangely, I get no freezes if I use wifi for my internet connection. If quit the desktop app, the freezing stops, as well. It's definitely locking up due to contacting Adobes servers in the background,
I did notice lots of errors by the Creative Cloud Application manager in the console, but apparently they are benign when using wifi. I'm guessing there is some kind of network conflict at play here, but I have no idea what Creative Cloud is doing in the background when contacting Adobes servers repeatedly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Using wifi is an okay workaround, but I'd rather be on gigabit Ethernet.

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.

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.

You may try providing full permissions to Adobe folders under ~/library/Application Support and /library/Application Support.
Then launch Creative Cloud app and try loading Apps list

Why can't I launch my Creative Cloud Desktop App? (I get Error -1712)

I have the Creative Cloud Desktop app downloaded and installed on my iMac (Early 2009/Mavericks OS). When I try to open it I get error -1712. Up until today I have been able to launch it. I cleared out my caches completely today so am wondering if that has something to do with it (cookies?). I can launch other Creative Cloud Apps such as InDesign Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font sync issues with TypeKit and InDesign as well--typekit says my fonts are synced, InDesign says they are not. Help!

You might try restarting your computer and then attempt downloading Creative Cloud again. In case you still face this issue please share the screenshot.
Thanks,
Vikas

Creative Cloud Desktop App Not Connecting

HI,
I have just updated the creative cloud desktop app and now I cannot install any apps. Every time I try an logi in all i get is an Unknown Server Error (Sign in is currently unavailable. We are unabale to access your account. Please try again later). This has been going on since last night.
1; I am logged in no problem via Firefox
2: My subscription is up to date for another year
3: I can even download and install the new creative cloud desktop app and that's as far as i can get...
I have even deleted the creative cloud app and re-installed and get the same message..
Any other suggestions anyone???
BTW Mountain Lion 10.8.4

Thanks Beverley, I will try the steps there.
Though I would also point out that you shouldn't need to ask users to do this kind of stuff - if there are known issues with cached user data then this should have been cleaned up automatically by the software update (especially since it seems to have forgotten my previous login settings anyway?).
This is a similar point to the manual Adobe application cleaner tools that staff often ask users to run - these really shoudn't be needed if software is written correctly.
In reference to the article you linked to, this seems to have been fairly hastily cobbled together. Solution 1 has "Delete the opm.db file." as it's sub-heading (?) but the steps involve renaming the file, not deleting it. This may sound like a minor gripe but I started searching the whole of my C: drive before realising the steps showed the filepath, and that renaming was required rather than deletion. In Solution 2, point 1b states "Choose an Adobe Creative Cloud and click Uninstall/Change." - I'm sure I don't need to point out the glaring grammatical error here.

Creative cloud desktop app won't let me sign in

The Creative Cloud desktop app hasn't worked for at least a week now on my Windows 8.1/x64 machine. I've been trying to get Adobe Muse, but until tonight, the app only showed the creative cloud banner and a white screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled it twice without success. PhotoshopCC works and appears to be signed in, and I was able to sign into the website but if I try to download Muse, it just brings up the blank Creative Cloud application.
So I signed out of Photoshop and wasn't able to sign in again -- it said my password was invalid. So I requested the password change email, got that, followed the instructions, and it said my link had timed out and to request the password change link again. So I did that and this time I was able to change my password. The Creative Cloud app is still all white.
So I signed back in using PhotoshopCC and that finally worked. I also signed into the website. I killed the Creative Cloud app and restarted it. This time, it thought for a bit and offered me a login. But whenever I log in, it immediately says
You've been signed out. Please sign in to continue.
Endless loop.
What gives? I see a lot of complaints and a banner on one page that says "service has been restored". It clearly hasn't.
Any ideas? Is this still an Adobe glitch? I sure hope Adobe offers a service credit for this frustration and lack of ability to work.

I've been banging my head on a hard surface way too much today.
I don't need to call tech support, just to start banging my head all over again.
I can honestly tell you that Tech Support does not want to hear from me right now... I'm pissed, frustrated and ready to yell at somebody over the phone about my bad day that Adobe created for me.

Creative Cloud Desktop App installer crash (Mac OSX)

I wanted to update my existing CC Desktop App, but that didn't work out, so I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall. But that brought me into a whole other world of pain and tears.
Basically, when I finally worked out where I could download the .dmg (hint: if you try to download the desktop app installer through chrome on mac, you'll get the .exe), and I ran the installer, and just says this: "Downloading Creative Cloud Desktop App" and then promptly crashes, leaving no trails behind. I cleaned my mac from old logs and whatnot, did not work. I ran Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, that just deleted all my existing CC programs so I can't even work with those anymore, but the cleaner provided nothing to let the Desktop app installer actually work.
I have a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro "13, Mac OSX 10.9.5, 2.5 GHz i5, 8GB RAM. I've had virtually no problems with Creative Cloud, except After Effects 2014, which could never complete an update.
I suspect I need some kind of "offline" installer for the Desktop app.

SkyOtic if you are being offered an exe by Chrome then I would recommend reviewing your web browser settings and add-ons. It appears that Chrome is currently identifying your computer as utilizing a Windows operating system.
Please download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop. I would strongly you recommend the use of a different web browser unless you have corrected the behavior occurring within Chrome.
If you continue to face difficulties then 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.

Creative Cloud Desktop App not loading certain pages

Hello,
The Creative Cloud Desktop app is not loading the Home, Files, and Fonts pages. The only thing I get is the loading graphic spinning away. I've tried signing out then in, quitting the app, restarting the machine, renaming the OPM file to old, tried turning File and Font sync off - which it doesn't seem to do, checked the internet connection without any difference. The Cloud status page says everything is good.
I'm on an iMac running the GM of Mavericks. I've been running Mavericks beta for awhile and haven't had any trouble previously.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get to those pages?
Thank you!
Mike

Hi Mike,
Does reinstalling the Creative Cloud app make any difference? There is an uninstaller in the Creative Cloud app folder in Applications. Also, does the same thing happen in a newly created admin account?

Creative Cloud Desktop App Slows All Browsers

True for both Chrome and Safari on a Mac, one running Mavericks and one running Lion. When Creative Cloud is active in the menu bar, the browsers slow down so much I can't even type an address in the menu bar without minutes of lag. Not seconds, MINUTES.
I always have a browser open, and I want to be able to use Typekit fonts on my desktop through Creative Cloud - but now I can't do both. This has serious consequences for my work flow.
I've tested this thoroughly, and it comes down to one thing: I can run a browser, OR I can run Creative Cloud Desktop. I can't run both. Please fix this, Adobe!!!
UPDATE:
The only way to get my system back to normal was to (yet again) uninstall the Creative Cloud Desktop app, run the cleaner, and re-install it. Simply deactivating the Typekit fonts still left me with a laggy, hanging, slow CC app. So - the problem is either Typekit or the CC app, or a combination of the two. What a freaking pain. This stuff is supposed to just work.

Hi J,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. This is the first we've heard of this issue. However, I'd like to see if we can figure out what's causing it. Would you be able to drop us a line at: [email protected]?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Cheers,
Ben
