Creative Cloud Manager - updates

Why does creative cloud manager have to be updated more regularly than would be consider normal And when I do try it won't unless I remove all protection to my computer. I also have to remove PDApp.log.
I am not alone with this issue as indicated by forums. Yet I can not get a direct answer from Adobe

Ian Cleland please see the Adobe Creative Cloud Service Access Documentation for IT section of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html. This will give you information regarding required network access and permissions necessary to configure in a secure environment. This should provide the information necessary to modify your security software settings. If it doesn't then you may want to apply a default setting provided by the manufacturer of the software.
In regards to why the Creative Cloud Desktop application is updated I would recommend reviewing the release notes at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/release-note/cc-release-notes.html. You can find a list of the changes which have been made.

Creative Cloud management app failed to install, again, remedy, clue

It failed yet again today for me, but in a particular way, and thereby gave a clue at least of one probably unknown failure mode which I can pass on.
- I was trying to install the very latest Creative Cloud manager, which self-announced itself today 12 February 2014 when I tried to use it to check for updated applications.
- it downloaded and started to run, then failed with the very clever 'failed to install' small alert. A small alert for very small knowledge of the actual cause? Surely you can do better.
- I went on the forums and found all the times and ways this has caught up others before. I saw the 'rename OOBE folder' trick, and remembered that thus was the only thing that would actually fix the Creative Cloud manager one or more times before on my computers.
- thus I tried to rename OOBE after killing every Adobe-named app in the Windows 8.1 Task Manager, and failed -- due to some nameless program holding it open.
- I then stopped and restarted the machine.
- I thought a moment and realized I'd run another Adobe installer an hour or two before, to updated Premiere Elements 11 to the latest possible Adobe Camera Raw as its updater offered.
- thus instead of renaming OOBE, I ran the Adobe Creative Cloud manager updater when it offered again towards the end of booting up
- this time it succeeded, hence I believe that other Adobe ACR installer had been at fault, leaving files unclosed or otherwise locked within OOBE. That's the new clue to Adobe developers.
- If this hadn't succeeded, I'd have stopped and restarted the machine again, and then renamed C:\Program Files(x86)/Common/Adobe/OOBE.
I think this renaming is a lot better way to proceed (stop/start, adding possibly safe boot with no startup apps if OOBE remains locked to renaming when that method may be needed) than using the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanup tool as the troubleshooting page recomnmends.
The reason: this benighted cleanup tool does _not_ offer any way to remove Creatuive Cloud manager itself, even though support here suggests that it does. You can only choose variations which insist on uninstalling all your Adobe programs, CS6 included with Creative Cloud ones. I am not going to do that except at extreme duress. So far renaming OOBE and thus forcing Creative Cloud to recreate it has fixed every one of the blind, unspecific, and prevalent errors with Creative Cloud.
I think that much better work can be done on this Creative Cloud software, but I am constrained by a particular American folk tale told to children, which suggests 'If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything.'
I can only say that respect will be gained not by talk, or telling a lot of complicated procedures to recover software that costs like an automobile.
Respect will only be gained by really involving yourself, learning, and then doing all of this correctly. That's what every respected software developer in the world does.

Jeff, thanks equally for coming back on this.
- I did begin the process on the page you linked.
- when I got to the step running the CC Cleaner tool, it offered me no option to remove the Creative Cloud Manager -- only to remove all my apps, which are largely CS6. This is counter to the suggestion that you can remove just the manager, and not welcome as you will understand.
- it was at this point that I recovered the procedure of just shifting OOBE out of play. When this wasn't possible due to invisibly held open folders or files, I realized the problem might have been due to the earlier Premiere 11 ACR update (you have to think a bit for reasons why it might want to do that...).
- Thus when I stopped and restarted to assure a clean reboot, I thought to just let the Creative Cloud Manager try again when it offered this.
- Without further intercession, this time the Creative Cloud Manager succeeded.
I would say that the move-OOBE-out-of-play to force recreate (or sometimes it has been move a certain file in OOBE) is a much preferred repair that has always worked for me in the numerous failures of Creative Cloud Manager over the last year. We don't really want to spend the hours and take the risk of removing all our Adobe CS and/or CC applications, plus adding all of their updates again, as you will also understand.
This points to a way Adobe could very much lower the agony of the Creative Cloud Manager, its updates and its crossed wires. I do appreciate the problem, though not why at your budget levels it hasn't had a definitive response. Some experience directing projects and having to take over offshore team management directly might suggest where you are finding the difficulty, at least.
In the mean time, why not put in place a recovery for failed Creative Cloud Manager activities including updates, which would simply and automatically do the task of accurately renaming the OOBE folder (for each attempt, no matter how many times it had been done before)j, then triggering a restart followed by reinstall and information recovery of the Creative Cloud Manager? It could be something like Microsoft's Fix-Its, for convenience, which would also leave open a doorway to reversal if somehow necessary.
I suggest you might lower the incidence of this genre of problems by a very large factor if you were to do so, replacing the presently procedure with its flaws for those employing Adobe software.
Anyway, I hope the suggestion leads in positive ways for your products, and wish your team a good day.

Creative Cloud Manager - Download Error - cannot update apps

This is an ongoing issue for me. Whether it's AAM or the new CCM, when I attempt to access apps and updates I receive a Download Error message (see pic) which will not allow me to update or download apps.
After experiencing this with the AAM in May, Adobe support provided me with a work around which amounted to creating a new user on my machine and installing the AAM for that user. I was then able to update the apps I'd installed previously and install two more apps on my machine.
Now I'm experiencing this issue again - still for the default user on my machine and now for the new fake user I created per Adobe support's instructions.
I'm using Windows 8, Google Chrome browser (I can't update the apps through Adobe, either).
I'd love to get a handle on this issue and get it corrected once and for all and, hopefully, without having to create another 'ghost' user so I can update and install apps.
Thanks.

For my particular issue I finally found a discussion from another user who was experiencing what seemed to be a similar problem. I'm not sure why the AAMUdater folder is wreaking such havoc for some people but not for others. 'Tis a mystery.
I had to unhide the appdata folder (I'm in windows 8):
Windows key + R
Type in 'explorer'
Click on 'View' tab
Tick box next to 'hidden' to unhide
Then I was able to find the AAMUpdater folder:
users/myname/appdata/local/Adobe/AAMUpdate.
I renamed the AAMUpdater folder to oldAAMUpdater (just to make sure this was the issue) and et voila! Success. I could open the Creative Cloud Manager and update existing apps and download new apps.
Thank you, David, for your suggestion. Since I wasn't having a server error I didn't think that fix would pertain to my issue of the anonymous download error.

The apps wont open but are fully updated in the creative cloud manager menu, how do I get them to open?

I have the same problem. New CC subscription. After crashing trying to open a CS6 file. Premiere Pro will not launch. I have updated video drivers and Quick Time player. (PC, Windows 8.1. nVidia GeForce GT 750M) "Sorry a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down..." Thanks.

Creative Cloud Desktop update error A12E1 - getting really tired of this...

So I've bought CS6 a while ago and up until there was the Application Manager used for updates everything was fine.
Since you decided to force me to use Creative Cloud for updates it's became really annoying.
Every time there is an update for one of my Adobe Products there is also an update for Creative Cloud Desktop. And it seems to be impossible to install it.
It doesn't matter if I try to update the existing Installation or Download fresh Setup-Files. It doesn't work.
If I try to update, it's initialised, downloaded and then it throws Error-Code A12E1.
If I try to install a freshly downloaded Setup-File of CC Desktop it's the same, just with Error-Code 50.
So here is what I've tried already:
Updating with disabled Security Suite
Try again in SafeBoot
Uninstall CC Desktop an reinstall a fresh Download
Installing freshly downloaded files with disabled Security Suite
Try this again in SafeBoot
Download the CC Cleaner tools to get rid of the old Installation before I can install it again, which then does the trick.
As I said EVERY TIME.
What is supposed to be a 5 Minute update in background gets to be an hour of rebooting, uninstalling, cleaning an reinstalling.
I'm running a 64Bit Windows 8.1 Pro.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please give me a hint. I'm all out of Ideas.
*EDIT*
I've postet this after I got the initial Error-Message, thinking that using the Cleaner Tool would help this time again. But there I was wrong! Very Wrong!
I'm seriously disappointed when I think about how much money I've spend on this Software...
After Using the Cleaner Tool (which completed without errors) I couldn't install CC Desktop again, because it was just throwing Error-Code 50 again and again.
All attempts to fix this were unsuccessful. Errorlogs were NOT created. The last Error-Log I could find was from the last update back in march.
After a while of google search I found an old post from November from someone with similar problems.
Solution:
Uninstalling CC Desktop
running the cleaner tool
reboot
download CC Desktop setup files
set the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3
try to install with administrative rights, wait for Error-Message that something is missing and you have to redownload the setup-files
undo the compatibility-settings and run the Setup with administrative rights again
Now it worked.
I'm seriously interested in what kind of update this is, that it is resolved by setting the compatibility to Windows XP SP3...
Especialliy, since Creative Cloud was promised to make my whole workflow "joined" and therefore easier.

Apps are not loading in creative cloud manager to install on mac osx yosemite

I am trying to download apps from the creative cloud manager. No apps are appearing i just get a blue spinning wheel. They are updating fine on my laptop which both are updated with osx yosemite.

I'm also experiencing the same. I started to download Creative Cloud today, and am stuck with the spinning wheel when I go to download the apps.

What is wrong with Creative Cloud Connection Update

What is wrong with Creative Cloud Connection Update? I've tried 25 times to update but it does not work? Can you please help?

I opened my Adobe Application Manager, and I saw there was an update for Creative Cloud Connection and pressed update. When the installation was at 49% a message came and said: Please close te following applications to continue: - Adobe Creative Cloud Connection. And a buttom: Cncel update or Retry.
I have Retry 50 times, and it says the same.
I have restart my computer several times, and the same happened when I come to 49% of the installation.
What is the problem??

Creative Cloud Manager Problem

Everytime I try to update my creative cloud manager, I get this message (See Attached Screenshot). I have no idea what this means and how to get rid of it and make my manager work correctly. Windows 8 computer.

There are a large number of users who are experiencing that very same "issue", which is clearly a bug that has NOT been addressed!
Furthermore,it is NOT ADVISABLE for anyone tinkering with their system, as some perhaps "well meaning" but misguide CSR and mods have suggested you do, as it very may well (and quite likely will) cause FATAL DETRIMENTAL changes to your computer's Registry, source files, et al, resulting in inoperable computers!
ADOBE: Fix the bugs and issue patches, s/w designed to operate propertly on ALL platforms, in a timely manner!
Also, to anyone who lives in the State of California, if you do NOT get proper, immediate resolution to your issues, for a paid-for product, then I strongly advise you to file a complaint with the CA State Attorney General's online form, stating that you purchased a product that is not operable as contracted for, name the isses, etc. That office will send a formal inquiry/complaint and issue a short timeline for response and resolution.

LR6 installation corrupts creative cloud manager

I paid for and downloaded LR6 upgrade.
Download was fine, installation went well including entering license number. From there on nothing but problems.
The verification part could not connect to the server. Other internet connections were just fine.
Adobe Creative Cloud manager now had the same problem, no connection to the server.
Lightroom 5.7 can no longer check for updates, AND Maps reports to be offline.
In summary: LR6 installation screwed up connection to one or more Adobe servers on multiple Adobe products.
Anyone have a solution to this ? Adobe staff, you get the first attempt.

When will training videos for creative cloud be updated?

Please let us know when new videos will be posted?
I will need good videos for new people on my team.
In general, videos (that as of a few days ago were available through the "Training" link from the Creative Cloud) are old and out of date. They are still advertised in a link to the right as "New Tutorial Videos."
-All videos are for previous interface
Videos with entirely unusable information?
"Recovering Deleted Files in Creative Cloud"
"Selecting, Moving, and Deleting Files in Creative Cloud"
Videos that are mostly accurate, though interface remains different:
"Managing Individual Creative Files in Creative Cloud"
"Sharing and Downloading Files in Creative Cloud"
I have not seen any answers on this topic. Let me know if they already exist.
There were no results for when will training videos for creative cloud be updated?

I posted with screenshots how to Archive and Permanently Files here http://forums.adobe.com/message/5087298#5087298.
If you have questions about how to do specific things let me know and I will post screenshots.

I cannot get Creative Cloud to update the applications I have installed. How can I get CC to update them?

I am unable to get Creative Cloud to update my CC programs I have installed on my MacBook Pro. The programs were originally installed from a free year trial that my work was offered. It was an enterprise trial. Because I work with multiple translations, I installed the English language with Arabic support versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The Creative Cloud desktop program shows that these programs are all "up to date" even though they are not. None of these programs allow me to go to Help>Updates either. That option is grayed out. I have read through several forums and help articles. I have done the following:
Uninstalled and reinstalled CC desktop program.
Logged out of CC desktop program.
Deleted the opm.db file.
Reopened the CC desktop program after deleting this file.
Uninstalling and reinstalling all of my CC programs on my MacBook.
There has to be something that I'm missing... or is it that I'm using the Arabic supported versions of these programs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Creative Cloud Manager CC 2014 Reverts All Apps Back to Trial

I am a current Adobe CC subscriber, but today all of my Adobe Apps show as "Start Trial" in Creative Cloud Manager CC 2014. I click "start trial" on the app and it says I have 30 days remaining. How do I fix this? Thank you.

Glad to see you got everything figured out Rexomus Let us know if you need anything else!

Is there a way to temporarily ignore the Creative Cloud Desktop update? i.e. Mobile data use

I am a mobile tablet user (Windows 8). I am connected via mobile data wifi sometimes, and I need to grab a font or make a quick update to an Illustrator or InDesign project with a new font etc. The problem is that when a Creative Cloud Desktop update is available, it forces you to update. This can be slow and expensive over a mobile network. Is it possible to ignore an update temporarily so that you can function without the update? Quite frankly the Creative Cloud Desktop application seems to have an update every three to four days --- Makes it bothersome.

Hi WarithNiallah,
Please follow the below mentioned steps:
Windows: C/Program Files(X86)/Common Files/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterinventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
Now there should be no update prompt.

Romit Sinha

Apps tab in Creative Cloud manager is blank

I'm trying to download a free trial of After Effects. I have downloaded the Creative Cloud manager for my desktop, but the Apps tab remains blank with a spinning wheel. The other tabs all show their appropriate options, but the Apps tab shows nothing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Creative Cloud, but no luck. Is there perhaps a way to download AE without using the desktop manager?
