Creative Cloud Desktop Won't Install Issues on Mac OS X 10.8.4

I recently upgraded from CS6 to CC.  First round of installs no problem.  A week later there were a few updates including the CC Destop App and this is where the fun begins.   I installed the updates and immediately after I noticed it was only showing I had 3 apps installed when I have several.  I tried uninstalling the CC Desktop app and re-installing it but I can't get it to install.  Every time I try it just says you have an "unknown error".  I called Adobe's awesome support to which we ran throught diganostics only at the end to tell me they are having issues and to call back later.  I have been all over the forums and have yet to find a solution, nothing works (Including runing the cloud cleaner and renaming the OOBE file). 
I am running OS X 10.8.4 any other suggestions or help will be much appreciated

Romsinha! Thank you! I was having this problem and your instructions helped solve the issue.
Hi iChrisChatt,
Please try the mentioned steps:
1. Navigate to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer and look for CC desktop, if present run the uninstaller to uninstall it.
2. Navigate to Applications/Utilities and look for Adobe Application Manager folder and Creative cloud folder. If present move to trash and empty it.
3. Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE and rename to OOBE.old
4. Download CC desktop from: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and try to install again.
Regards,
Romit Sinha

    I have Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium.  The Application Manager applied updates to the CS6 Perpetual Licanse Products, but did not recognize I have a new Creative Cloud Subscription for Phoroshop and Lightroom.  When attempting to install Creative Cloud Desktop, the installation fails with no details available other than the error message above.
    System is Win 8.1, Intel 3770 Quad Core CPU, 32 GB Memory, 2 Toshiba 3TB HDD SATA 3 configured as RAID 1. .  System runs CS 6 no issues. Have turned off the Antivirus and Firewall, cleared cache on IE 10, closed all browsers after CC desktop starts to download. CC Desktop does not show in win 8, but does show on PC in Program Files (x86), but I cannot see an executable.
    Have also tried to download Creative Cloud Desktop as a stand-alone (www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp) and also by downloading Photoshop CC as data indicates any product downloaded will install the desktop of CC.
    CreativeCloudSet-up.exe does exist on PC and properties are 2,775KB size.Running the setup from the app on PC yeilds same results - Product downloads and does not install.
    The error block is      Adobe Installer   (at top)

  • Adobe creative cloud set up to install on a mac with parallels windows 8

    Unfortunately it is not possible to install the program it always displays an error message. how can you loess the problem?
    error message: This application can not be run from a network drive-. copy it to a local folder and strarten it again.

    I have just the regular version, not Professional.
    I mean "les integrated", in the sense that you really run Fusion "in a window". The more "integrated" approach means that Windows applications run as if they were for the Mac, and you do not see the Windows interface at all. I personnaly think tjat is too confusing. There is nothing wrong with it, just a bit more confusing. i like having it clear that Windows is in a seperate Window.

    I have a macbook pro 2010 & extra storage and drive space
    I don't know what the link is between the new creative cloud update in january and the loss of my apps  & downloading error after that update, to the desktop window?
    Before that I hadn't had any trouble with the apps window..all the other parts are syncing and seem fine?
    I uninstalled & reinstalled the creative cloud desktop
    I installed the yosemite os x to see if the new interface was an issue...all was fine with the yosemite install
    I have checked for the answer in the troubleshooting guide
    nothing seems to apply at this point...
    didn't know if anyone else was having the same difficulty?

    is this the 'unknown' download error or some other error?  attaching a screenshot of the error if it's in english would be helpful.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop does not install

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the trial of Adobe Creative Cloud on my Mac (10.9.5). When I run the Creative Cloud Installer, it shows 'Downloading Creative Cloud desktop' and then stops with the error message 'We’ve encountered the following issues: Installer was unable to create a critical file/directory. Please try installing again. (Error code: 44)'.
    Here is what I tried so far:
    1) Trying again yields the same result.
    2) Trying the install from my admin account yields the same result.
    Other info:
    1) The machine has a licensed copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5.
    2) I previously installed a trial of CS6 but have since removed that to go to CC instead.
    3) Removal of the CS6 trial by the uninstaller failed - I had to remove components manually.
    Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? Very frustrating as I need to start using CC as soon as possible and purchase a subscription.
    Best regards
    Tim

    Hi Jeff,
    I came to the same conclusion but finding the permissions problem was like hunting the needle in the proverbial haystack. I don't think using a temporary directory as you suggested is a solution as the user has no control on where the installer is actually installing the files.
    In the end I did as follows:
    Manually removed all Adobe products from my internal disk and cleaned caches, app support folders and preferences (BTW, that did not allow the installer to work either).
    Cloned my internal SSD drive to an external hard disk.
    Formatted my internal SSD drive.
    Re-installed Mavericks 10.9.5.
    Installed CC Desktop successfully.
    Pulled all my stuff back on to my internal SSD drive from the external hard drive using Migration Assistant.
    It took a little time, but everything now works as it should.
    Problem resolved!

  • Creative Cloud Desktop won't opening

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue with Creative Cloud Desktop ever since I updated to Yosemite. I've gone through customer support (which were useless by the way) and discovered that Creative Cloud Desktop works if I'm logged in as my Root user (System Admin) on my Mac but won't load in my normal account. I've gone through this link (Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Mac OS) that the Customer Service representative gave me. However I'm still having the problems loading App.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this issue?

    >ever since I updated to Yosemite
    Did you tell Apple that their update breaks Adobe software?

  • Creative cloud desktop failed to install on Mac OS

    Hello,
    I have an extra seat who needs to use Creative Cloud for his job. He cannot install the Creative Cloud application and when trying to do so afresh, he constantly gets the error "Unable to install Creative Cloud Please close all active Adobe applications and retry your installation" message via the dmg image installer file. There are no other or active Adobe application on his iMac and no Adobe application running anywhere on the machine.
    iMac OS X 10.8.5, 2.9GHz.
    The problem reoccurs even after navigating to the Applications/Utilities folder and putting the folders Adobe Application Manager folder and Creative Cloud to the Trash and emptying it. Then navigating to the Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder and renaming it to OOBE.old, then again downloading Creative Cloud desktop from the URL https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and trying again to install it.
    Despite all of this, the same "Unable to install Creative Cloud Please close all active Adobe applications and retry your installation" message prompt comes up and the installation of the Creative Cloud application is abandoned.
    This is a very frustrating experience. What is the workaround to get this appliaction installed so he can get on with his work as soon as possible?
    Paul

    Opted to fully restore the iMac and upgrade it to OS X 10.9 from what was an 10.8.5 installation. Adobe CC desktop now fully working as expected and relevent application downloads successful.
