Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync or recognise apps

While running OSX 10.6.8 I installed CC apps. But CC desktop app needed newer OS. So I upgraded to 10.8.4 and installed CC desktop app. It prompts me to update my CS6 software (and I can't make these prompts go away) and tells me I have no apps installed. Also, file sync is non-existant and I have no "Creative Cloud Files" folder. I need to be able to sync because I have another Mac at home that I do work on. What to do?

HI Steve633
Do you happen to have the older Adobe Application Manager still installed? If so, then i would suggest that you uninstall the Adobe Application manager.
I would suggest to perform the steps in Solution 1 & 2 of this help doc.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
Then if you have not updated to the new Creative Cloud Application manager version Version 1.1.2.232 released on 9/4/2013 Then you can uninstall the older version from your system and click here to download the udpated software. https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Then you should have the option for the Typekit font syncing. You can sign up for the early access to the Typkit fonts here if you have not done this already. http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-and-typekit-font-sync-rolling-out/
Let me know if this works for you
Thanks

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

    I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
    My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
    Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
    BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
    So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
    My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

    Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully.  You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • 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]

  • 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.

  • The Creative Cloud Desktop App won't download

    I have the Adobe Application Manager which is where I 'installed' my programs (only Illustrator and Photoshop) at this stage. I want the 'creative cloud desktop app' as I need to access fonts to use in Illustrator. When I click on the link where I download it, it just takes me to the Application Manager again. Is creative cloud meant to be one of the apps in the application manager? Have tried to troubleshoot but cannot figure it out

    Donnacally123 for information on how to open Illustrator CC after it is installed please see Launch CC apps after install - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/launch-creative-cloud-apps.html.
    If you have any additional questions regarding the installation process then please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • 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,

  • 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 Does Not Work

    Since the last updates, the Creative Cloud Desktop app no longer works.  That is, I can no longer sync files, upload files, or update apps.  Everything with the Creative Cloud Desktop App used to work fine.  I am using Windows 7, 64 Bit system. 
    The files I try to upload through the desktop app, are under 5 GB.  Some are 10 MB.  When I try to upload a file I get a message that says: Sync Failure - with no detail about the failure.
    When the app tells me there's an update(s), when I either choose one update or update all I get a message that says: Update Failure - with no detail about the failure.
    I have tried to solve this problem by turning file and font sync off and then back on, or logging out and then back in.
    The Abobe Team, should test this product further.  I just want the community to know that this product does not always perform as expected.  Therefore, it's not always reliable.
    I would upload some screen shots, but after pressing the camera icon, the images would not insert.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Cannot install Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point.

    I have a brand new machine running Windows 8.1. I don't know much about specs, so if you need more information on my setup, please tell me where to find it.
    I cannot install the Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point. I had this problem many months ago. I had a chat with someone from Adobe, and they had no clue what it was. I then called in and the phone was basically passed around from person to person trying to figure out what the issue was. They took over my screen, they tried all of the stuff that I read in the forums. Eventually I asked for the highest up person in the office and that person found a workaround that has been working for all these months.
    However, now that I tried to update the Creative Cloud desktop app, the update froze around 40-50% each time, so I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, then tried to reinstall it. Now I have the same problem that I had many months ago where when I double click on CreativeCloudSet-Up, and it says it's downloading, it freezes very early on and just sits there. No error message, just sits there forever until I kill the process. I can't even cancel it properly.
    I have very slow internet. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been downloading all the CC apps directly from the internet, but since I'm paying nearly $60 a month, I'd really like to have the CC desktop app. I'm sick of downloading each update manually off of websites.
    I have read every thread, empty or packed full of replies, and none of the suggestions seem to help me. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I really don't think that paying $60 a month should require me to fiddle with a bunch of files and cleaners, etc. I can't believe this problem has not been solved yet.
    Could it have something to do with my computer? Or is my internet provider blocking something from Adobe? I have no idea and I'm honestly so frustrated. I come home from work everyday and spend the rest of the night trying to fix this issue, and I'm sick of it. I won't call in again, since it was a disaster last time. I was on the line for over 4 hours, and they still didn't properly solve the problem.
    I am 100% desperate and tired of this.

    Nothing? Is there no solution to my problem? Do I have no other option other than to cancel my subscription? Pirating Adobe's software would cause me a lot less hassle than this, and that's not the way it should be.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App does not upload CERTAIN files

    Trying to use the Creative Cloud Desktop app to manage my Adobe Audition Files. The entire folder structure syncs, but individual files keep failing. The desktop app does not show any useful messages, but I found this error in the CoreSync.log file.
    ERROR: Copying file: {"cause":"infected_asset","message":"In the file 'Track 1_004.wav' the signature 'null' has been found"}
    This same error goes for pretty much all my files. Now if I take the same exact file and use the web uploader, it succeeds with no issues. My other computers will download the file, and my original computer does not download any duplicates. I tried Adobe's support chat but that was a joke. They said there is no technical support for the Cloud Desktop App and that I need to go to the forums.
    Anyone have any idea what's causing this error?

    Hi Kendr1ck,
    I wondered if it was related to the files being used when you were attempting to sync them. Were the files you were having difficult with open in Audition at the time? Do they still fail with Audition closed?
    Thanks,
    - Dave

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.
