Creative Cloud Desktop Hangs Up and won't Uninstall

I just installed Creative Cloud Desktop and it hangs up (Spining Gear)when I try to download Apps. I tried uninstalling, but I keep getting refused because the App is open. How do I close the Desktop App. Even better would be information about how to get my Desktop App from hanging up when I try to download the Apps?

Hero0500 have you utilized the steps listed in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html to resolve the current error?

Creative Cloud desktop greyed out and empty - no access

After migrating from my iMac to an MacBook Pro I am unable to open creative cloud and any applications.
I have done a uninstall and followed all the suggestions in the forums however my Creative Cloud desktop Icon is greyed out and is an empty screen when I open it with no option to log in.
I can't access any of the apps that I am paying for. Your help and advice would be appreciated asap

Ok of course I find the answer two seconds after I post a reply..!
I found out that the Application Manager still had some leftover files in the "Utilities" folder. I deleted the folder and reinstalled Creative Cloud.. did a deleted of the oobe.db file also, but not sure that's what did it, since I've done that solution a thousand times with no success..
Looking forward to seeing my beloved applications once again!

Creative Cloud Desktop frozen/spinning wheel after updated version April 22,2015; Adobe Application Manager won't sign in either - Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

I cannot update any apps via Creative Cloud Desktop Application just prior to nor after the April 2015 updated.
I've tried everything listed in support forums, including:
uninstallation
removal of the AAMUpdater and OOBE folders in both the user and system libraries
use of the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
enabling the root user and cleaning everything out there and reinstallation from the root account
and reinstallation of both the Application Manager as well as Creative Cloud Desktop...multiple times.
I've also tried out the instructions to uninstall Java and reinstall the latest version of Java. I have looked through every iteration of these issues on several support forums, and tried everything that has supposedly "worked" to get Creative Cloud Desktop back up and running.
I am on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.
I also can't sign in via the Application Manager, with message that I am not connected to the internet. I can launch the versions of Photoshop CC 2014, Illustrator CC 2014, Lightroom 5, etc., but when I try to sign in to any of those applications, the Adobe Application Manager launches, asking for a sign in, and then won't connect...no matter what. I have tried doing this from the root account with the firewall temporarily disabled as well. I do not have internet connection problems whatsoever, and all other applications, browsers, etc., can reach all aspects of the internet just fine.
The most peculiar thing: I have another Creative Cloud installation on my MacBook Pro with the same version of Yosemite, and everything is loading and working just fine, with all the latest updates. Duplicate installation for my laptop, and yet my iMac with the same installation won't work at all.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I've attempted to repair permissions the usual way, as well as through a complete cleanup via Onyx. Still no dice.
Creative Cloud Desktop was working previously, for quite a few months (with the occasional "can't connect" and inability to load the App Update panel, which seems to plague the software constantly anyway...but at least it worked intermittently) well after I installed Yosemite.
This is a more recent issue...just a few days ago...before installing the update, as well as after.

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop is showing a blank screen at every launch (have tried multiple CleanerTool and OOBE-related methods)

**Background:** My computer, installed with Windows 7 is 2 weeks old. Yesterday I installed Creative Cloud Desktop, Premiere Pro and After Effects on my computer and everything went *absolutely* smoothly, not a bump. I did about ten hours work using these programs. Later that night, when I was about to go to sleep I went to my room and pressed the power button on my PC thinking I had left it on (just my memory, it had no lights on or anything) but it started turning itself on. Being tired, I immediately pressed the button again (I'm fairly sure the interval wasn't long enough for it to start updating).
This morning, I turn it on and Startup Repair appears, which recommends that I System Restore. So I do. It starts up fine this time, but said programs are gone and briefly I freak out about having lost all my work but the kind people in the reddit techsupport IRC chat here reminded stupid me of what I had forgotten, files stay in a System Restore.
**Problem:** So, I go to reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop. First of all, it fails to initialises (I had to go into Safe Mode to find out exactly what the problem was) but I used the Cleaner Tool and it completed the install eventually. But, when I start up the program, it briefly shows the loading symbol before going to a *completely* white screen, nothing on it at all. I have since used the Cleaner Tool again after the program being quite adamant about not being uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled and still, same problem. Then I searched through https://forums.adobe.com/message/5553596#5553596 and performed every solution in there, including changing the name of the opm file, changing the name of the OOBE folder and deleting the OOBE folder (all while the Creative Cloud app is not running including all processes killed). I uninstalled using the Cleaner Tool and reinstalled in-between all of these attempted solutions.
This has basically eaten up my workday so far.

I took another look at the creative cloud cleaner instructions and realized I wasnt running it correctly. I read the instructions too quickly. I got it up and running. I had forgotten to run as administrator.

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.

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.

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

Installation Error (7) Adobe Edge Animate - Creative Cloud Desktop Application

I would greatly appreciate help with this, I have scoured the adobe forumns and google and am unable to find a solution. I am trying to download Adobe Edge Animate from the creative cloud desktop application (PC) and it gives me this error
!Installation Failed - Learn More
When I click on learn more it says
Installation failed
Errors encountered during installation.(7)
More information
However the more information button does not do anything when clicked. I have had no problems installing my other application, updates and trials with the creative cloud desktop app.
I have ignored this issue for weeks but I have reached the point in a work project where I need to use the program. The Desktop application is up-to-date and I even tried disabling my firewall/antivirus but it made no difference.
Few other details:
I ran the adobe cleaner for CS6 programs before installing the creative cloud.
The program fails at 51% Installation.
Please please please help. Thank you for any information you have and any time you can dedicate to this issue I am having.

Thank you Jeff, I followed your directions and may have found the issue yet I do now know how to resolve it.
Some Background:
When I first installed the Creative Cloud Desktop Application a couple weeks ago I had my main hard drive partitioned into C: and D:.
Because of limited space of my C drive I changed the application install directory (in the Desktop App preferences) to D:. Despite this it was still installing all the programs to the C:/default path.
I had posted concerns about this on the forumn after trying restarting and reinstalling yet nothing worked. Despite it listing D: as the install directory it would not install there.
So finally I just decided to unpartition the drive back to only C: Prior to the unpartition I was transfering the conents of D to a seperate hard drive and I changed the preferences back to C: in the Desktop app.
As I was waiting for the files to transfer I decided to start a trial install (as the transfer was taking a while.) Pushing me over the line of frustration into amusment it then proceeded to install to my D: drive. At this point it was just doing the opposite of what I wanted. Regardless I continued with the unpartition and all the applications I have downloaded installed fine since then to my new larger C drive.
When I looked into the error log for the Edge Animate I noticed this
08/09/13 15:21:39:504 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4300 | - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)

This issue just wont leave me alone.
As I mentioned before the install directory has been set back to C since before the unpartition and all the other programs have installed fine. Are there somewhere that secret preferences are stored? This is all the more unbelievable as I prior to reading your instructions I uninstalled the creative cloud desktop app, ran the adobe cleaner for any pre-CC applications as well as a registry cleaner and reinstalled the Desktop App and tried again.
Thank you very much for directing me to the reason for the error, can you help me figure out why the CC Desktop App is doing this?

Creative Cloud Desktop Install Reaches 100% then Starts Over

With Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop, it launches and logins just fine, detects my installed apps and shows updates and all apps that are not installed yet. When I click Install on any app, it will download, then initializes the installer. When the installation progress reaches 100%, it starts over again with the installation progress at 0%. I have let Acrobat XI Pro go through 5 "installations" now and each time it reaches 100% then starts over.
Steps takens already:
-Rebooted
-Reinstalled Creative Cloud
-Deleted folder: C:\%AppData%\Local\Adobe\OOBE
-Removed everything in: %temp%
-Verified that my firewall policy is permitting all ports to *.adobe.com*/* and to *.adobelogin.com*/* (Per the Adobe IT Deployment article for URL's and Ports to allow)
-Verified there are no packet drops during the "download" that could cause a bad installation
-Verified my local security (Kaspersky) is not blocking anything Adobe related...but that does not apply since Creative Cloud is already installed and is an allowed process for all sub-threads
Please help!
Thank you

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.

I have troubles updating the Creative Cloud desktop, what shoud I do?

Everytime I try to update after the download is almost done, a box appears saying that another Creative Cloud desktop is running and that I need to quit that instance first, but I don't see anything. I click retry but nothing happens, what should I do?

Hi agv89,
Welcome to the Community!
Restart the machine and try to download again, if that doesn't work then try the below steps.
Are you using Windows? if yes, please open Task manager press (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) at the same time and click on Processes. Check if any CCapp.exe or any other process of Adobe is running like AAM notifier or AAM, if yes end the process and start the download once again.
Thanks,
Ankit

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.
