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?

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager still does not work - HELP?

    Using Windows 7, have Adobe subscription, cannot get the CC desktop Application Manager to work under any circumstances! This is driving me crazy, paying for the subscription, cannot update any programs, because I cannot access anything. I urgently need to finish a job where I have previously used a font I have in my typekit - but of course I cannot access the typekit so cannot get the font - this is urgent.
    Can someone please help - I have uninstalled all reference to Creative Cloud Desktop App, restarted computer, re-installed. Nothing, uninstalled everything - changed OOBE folders in both locations to _old, restarted, reinstalled, nothing. Uninstalled again, ran the CC Cleaner Tool, option 3, option1, renamed the OOBE folders, restared Windows, ran exe file again. Failes repeatedly. Comes up with a blank white space, blue wheel spins a few times then stops, and stays like that. If you click in the white space, then it just goes black!!!
    Where to now!

  • Creative Cloud Desktop Application Manager Unable to Update  New Version of PS CC

    Windows 7, 64 bit
    Received notification of new software for PS CC.  Desktop application manager appears, with a creative cloud note over the desktop app mgr saying:  " A new ver of CC is available.  Update now?"  I click update and launching creative cloud desk appears and disappears.  Note in bottom right tray says update to cc available and it too disappears.
    Looked for help on Adobe website and tried changing name of OOBE to OOBE_old.
    Tried to download update directly from PS CC.  Went to help; update;   It failed to update completely and left the following error message: 
    Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    Now PS CC has lost some of functionality.

    Genius.
    Worked a treat, although, as Lion hides the User's Library folder I had to launch Terminal to make it visible first. Do you think the fact the Library's now invisible might've been an issue here?
    Whatever, all working now and Creative Cloud Files all synced again.
    Thanks very much Jeff.

  • 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.

    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.

  • (2014) Creative Cloud Desktop App updates

    I noticed in the recent Creative Cloud desktop apps the updates indicate in (2014).  Are these apps actually different than the old CC apps for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator or once the update takes place the old update for the app without (2014) will fall off?

    I do not know if this applies to any other Mac users, but, since this happens on my Mac (2009, so maybe that is a problem) every time the desktop app has an update, but the update will not install (ever since THE VERY DAY CC 2014 went live)
    the magic bullet seems to be —
    After getting rid of any trace of CC Desktop App
    Delete Adobe Application Manager Folder (Applications ==>Utilities Folder ==> Adobe Application Manager)
    Install new download of AAM
    Install new download of CC Desktop App.

  • 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.

  • Illustrator CC2014 and Update Creative Cloud Desktop App

    Hi,
    I am using the Creative Cloud Student edition on Windows 8.1. Right now I have some problems with Illustrator and the Desktop App itself, however I absolutely need it to work right now for University. I try to explain the problem as clear as I can, I hope you can help me!
    First, the problem I have with Illustrator: I installed the newest version (CC2014) a couple of weeks ago. It all worked fine at first. After some time, when opening the application, I got a message saying it can't be opened and that I should go to the .exe file and operate it as Administrator. When I clicked okay, Illustrator opened without me doing what I was told.. This kept going on for a couple of days until now. I cannot open it anymore, a message appears saying: The localized source files for this application could not be loaded. Fix this application or reinstall. Then try again. .The problem is, I cannot fix or reinstall the application, I can't even uninstall it (It says there were problems and not everything was uninstalled..) Now I don't know what to do?
    Second, I cannot update my creative cloud desktop app. It says: Creative Cloud desktop could not be updated. Error Code: 50. I have searched for that error code, but could not find any explanation.
    I would be very happy for your help!
    Thank you in advance!

  • Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop app since update to Windows 8.1

    Hi, I have updated my desktop and laptop to Windows 8.1 over the past day, and have noticed a problem with the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Update 1.9.1.474 sets sync folder back to default (windows)

    Hi All,
    Second time this has happened with an update to Creative Cloud Desktop App (Windows).
    Update completes correctly but then notice that file sync is going mad and is re-syncing everything but to the default location (usually user\username\ - in Win 8.1).
    Last time this occurred I seemed to get some loss of files.
    I've now let it re-sync everything to the default location and then resetting it to the previous location (where files are still present - but is on a different drive).
    Surprised to hear Support (Swati) hasn't heard this occur before but thought it worth putting it out there to both warn others and see if its just me!
    This was for definite with update 1.9.1.474 of Creative Cloud Desktop (And think it was with the previous mandatory release).
    Cheers,
    M

    Hi Mark,
    as you correctly point out with the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
    The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
    The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown).  The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
    Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
    This occurs once, after the last update completes.
    The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to.  If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

  • AAM not updating itself to Creative Cloud Desktop app

    I had the Creative Cloud desktop/toolbar app running briefly yesterday but was frustrated by having the CS6 and CC versions of various apps running side by side, so decided to uninstall everything and do a clean install.  I ran the various uninstall programs and the cleaner utility, then re-installed AAM, AI and PS as a starting point.
    AAM has not updated itself to the Creative Cloud desktop app, and if I go to the Download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app and click on Download, it just switches to the AAM app, and does nothing.
    If I look in the updates section of AAM, there are no updates for AAM itself and Creative Cloud Desktop is not an installable program in AAM either.
    Can anyone help me in either triggering AAM to update/install Creative Cloud Desktop, or provide some manual installation steps?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    We may want to see what Nick's OS is before we go into to many details.
    Here is a quick tip though for Windows 8 and 7 64-bit users which might resolve your difficulties.
    Go to  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and rename the OOBE folder to OOBE_old
    Close and relaunch your browser
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    Download the Creative Cloud app.

    Hi, Jeff.
    I'm not on a network and I didn't change anything on my secutiy setups, so I got in touch to the customer support. They checked my computer and found nothing wrong, so they uploded some log files to analyse the case. I'm waiting for a answer.
    Thanks for the tips.
