Creative Cloud Desktop | Applying identical updates, over and over again.

My CC app is applying the same updates to 6 products almost every day. Same updates, same version number, exactly the same detail. I'm not a missing a .01 revision - they are all the same.
OS X Mavericks. Latest CC desktop applied today. Same issue.
I really don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall apps and plugins. This stuff should work out the box at 50 PCM.
Please advise.

Hi MCQ UK,
Please try the below mentioned steps:
1. Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0 and rename it.
Enable user Library: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html.
2. Enable root account and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0 and rename it.
Enable root account: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14281.
Launch CC desktop and let me know if still the same issue.
Regards,
Romit Sinha

Creative Cloud desktop failed to update.(Error code: 1)

Hello, I'm running a MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite 10.10.2. I tried to update Creative Cloud Desktop manager and then tried to cancel it (it was killing my bandwidth while I was trying to work). It disappeared from the bar at the top of the OSx screen.
I couldn't get it back. I restarted my machine. When I clicked on Creative Cloud this time, I was prompted to update, but almost immediately got an error. There are other mentions of Error Code 1 on the forum, but they appear to be first time installations, not updates. Suggestions welcome! Thanks
Creative Cloud desktop failed to update.(Error code: 1)
Update:
Still no success. I tried the instructions here: Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application which says to uninstall Creative Cloud. I got an error: "Unable to uninstall Creative Cloud Desktop. Quit Creative Cloud desktop and try again." But CC desktop is not running. I had a look in activity monitor and didn't see anything.

Okay - I think I resolved this by closing some stalled processes in Activity Monitor, then restarting Creative Cloud desktop, then updating in the normal way.

Are you on Windows computer, if yes.
End All Adobe background processes from task manager and then try to update , processes like Acrotray

Creative Cloud Desktop install crashes Windows Explorer and hangs

This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS.
I had no trouble initially downloading or installing anything from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (albeit in trial mode for a day or two)
And then the Initial Problem: Trying to Activate Adobe Acrobat failed to get pass the sign-in screen.
It would hang for about 30 minutes and then come back to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It's a standard error documented on Adobe's site that says you need to make sure your computer can really get to all of Adobe's activation servers/sites/etc. I double-checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to get to Adobe's sites.
Exasperated. I went online for tech support. It was definately Level 1 support (had me checking all the stuff I had already spent an hour checking - and had already told him I tested it all).
Anyway, I spent an hour on the chat with Adobe Tech Support going through the usual stuff.
He had me check virus programs, computer clock, conenctions to Adobe sites (like the licensing servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try going directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and trying to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop manager. I did that but it hangs when it launches the manager on the initial window with a black/grey Creative Cloud bar at the top (with the tool drop-down on the right side) but the rest of the window never loads.
After an hour of going in circles I decided it would be better to try again later with someone in second-level support.
In the meantime, I uninstalled ALL Adobe applications. There is no Flash-Player, no Acrobat Reader - nothing from Adobe in my programs list.
I then tried to download and install the Adobe Application Manager. It works up to the point where it launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then hangs at the same place.
There is a Creative Cloud window with the normal black/grey bar at the top - but the rest of the window (where you would normally see and load the apps from) stays empty.
I have rebooted the computer several times to be sure it is a fresh start. That has not helped at all. One additional thing I have noticed in these multiple attempts is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager installer gets about 95% done, it causes Windows Explorer to crash (not Internet Explorer but Windows Explorer). Once Windows Explorer resets, Creative Cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) that has nothing but the black/grey header.
I'm struggling for what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I am paying $50 a month for something I can't even install or use.
For what it's worth, the system is an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 8GB of RAM and plenty of HDD space. All security updates applied and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that any of that last line is relevant since I could run all of this with no problem before wiping the hard drive AND it was all running with no problem - other than Activating Acrobat at the start of this whole issue.

Jim,
You are a lifesaver! I can't think of how many additional hours of frustration you just saved me - but Thank You!!
After posting, I had determined (like you said), that Explorer must be doing that for a reason. I created a new user profile on the system (added a user temporarily) and observed the same behavior of Windows Explorer (stopping/starting) but then continuing to work as it should. At that point I knew the answer was somewhere in the user's profile but I would have had no idea where to look. The opm.db file was indeed the culprit.
I sure do appreciate the excellent help.

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.
Some menu items when I right-click on either the CC system tray icon, or click on the Settings menu icon in the app interface itself do not show. I've included a screenshot of the problem.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app, but this has not worked. Any ideas?

I am experiencing issues similar to the post above, with smaller floating windows but no dialouge. I uninstalled creative cloud desktop then re-installed- Issue is partly fixed, but now I get this:

Why does Creative Cloud Desktop block when updating fails?

Actually, this is a feature request: Don't block Creative Cloud Desktop's other functions (App Download/Install, File Synchronization) just because there is an update.
5 out 10 times updating fails at our facility, forcing us to reinstall the Creative Cloud App from a fresh download.
All this time files are not synched, apps are not updated. This applies to both Mac and Windows versions.
This is the tinyiest app of the Suite and it produces the most frustrations here – while the bigger applications (with installations in the GBs) run smoothly.

That's what I get on a regular basis: Creative Cloud Desktop could not be updated.(Error code: 2) Contact support I will then download the latest Creative Cloud Desktop full install and install it manually. For every machine. Every now and then.
But more important: You now have several Cloud File Sync services on your desktop (Dropbox, Onedrive, Google Drive etc.) and they manage to update themselves automagically – or not. They won't stop functioning, only because they could not get a specific mini-bugfix.

Creative Cloud Desktop not showing updates available.

Several students in my design class are running into problems where their Creative Cloud Desktop is not showing that there are updates to their applications. I was discussing some new features released for CC 2014 last week at Adobe Max, and would require them to be running the 2014.2.x.x (or .1) versions of several applications. I verified that each student, for example, is still running Photoshop 2014.0.x. and I have .2.0.
On one students machine I had them uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application – the new installer was downloaded from Adobe, so it should be the latest update.
Lastly, I had them remove the .db file from the OOBE folder in their Users director, to see if it would force a refresh – no effect.
I can't verify that this is consistent across all machines, but I think nearly all of them had started by installing the trial of CC2014 - and then subscribed (on my recommendation) in order to have the appropriate software for the course. I'd hate for them to all have to uninstall and reinstall from scratch...
Thoughts?

MAC :
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Applicaiton Support /Adobe
MAC HD//Bibliotheque/Application Support /Adobe

Creative Cloud Desktop on Mavericks logs out and has a red exclamation point.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with OS Mavericks on it. Since then, I can log into Creative Cloud desktop with no issues and use the app. But once my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up, I will have a red exclamation point on the icon in the menu bar. If I click on the icon in the menu bar it will tell me the problem is with apps and if I click on apps it will eventually update and the red exclamation point will go away. But sometimes, when I click on the creative cloud icon in the menu bar it will say there is a problem with the connection and allows me to retry which will eventually get me back in or sometimes it will have just logged me out and I have to log back in.
It never did this before, I was able to just log in once and it would always be logged in and no network problems.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I had similiar problem and i just stopped using Creative Cloud desktop. There's lot of other issues with that application that cannot be fixed since July.
I doubt that this application was created by some who ever worked on Mac. That's why i would recommend patience and disabling launching at start.

Creative Cloud desktop App for Mac crashes and does not work

Installed creative cloud for MAC (running OSX 10.9). App does not run. I see the Creative Cloud icon at top of screen (in menu) for about 0.5 seconds then it disappears. No error messages or warnings. I have tried to uninstall and install the desktop app many times with the same results. It appears there is no way to download the LR CC and PS CC that I paid for.
I have even tried to run this from another dmim account. Same error.
I have run disk utility - repair disk and repair permissions.
Please can someone help me with this issue?
Thank you.
