Creative Cloud menu icon appears on other Mac user accounts

My Mac (OS X 10.7.5) has several user accounts, but I am the only Adobe user, and for security I don't want to log in or do anything with Creative Cloud in other peoples' accounts.
But they see a Creative Cloud menu icon, grayed out and not logged in. Why does this happen and how can I get rid of it?
There is nothing in these users' login items.
TIA

Thanks for this. In the Cleaner App, I only saw Application Manager for OS 10.6 (other than my installed CC apps). I cleaned this one only. However after restarting, athough the cleaner said the uninstall was successful, I could not find any log file for the Cleaner App. I still reinstalled the CC Desktop App, but with the same results.
Do I need to uninstall ALL the CC apps?
Thanks again.

How can I restrict Adobe Creative Cloud to run for just one mac user?

Can anyone help with this please ...
(This is about how the Adobe Creative Cloud app works with OS X User accounts. I have posted it on Adobe's Support forums, but nobody there had the solution. Perhaps someone from the Apple/OSX end can help?)
I'm running Adobe CC on a 2010 iMac (OS X Yosemite). I'm delighted with it, however ...
Several family members share the same iMac using separate user accounts. Adobe CC seems to run on startup for all of them which is annoying for them as they get messages about updates etc, plus it takes up unnecessary system resources (particularly as we tend to use 'switch user' and Activity Monitor shows an instance of Adobe CC running for each user).
It's not listed in the Login Items list under System Preferences->Users & Groups, so I can't disable it there for other users, However it appears as an icon in the menu bar for any/all users a few moments after logging in - so something is triggering it to run, but I can't see what.
How can I restrict Adobe CC to run just for my user account please?
Thanks
Richard

The startup item is likely inside the /Library/LaunchAgents folder.
It will be something named like com.adobe.creativecloud.plist.
Move it out of the /Library/LaunchAgents folder into the User/Library/LaunchAgents folder for all the users that need it.
I don't know if it will work, but as long as Adobe wrote the launch agent correctly, it will work. Given that it is Adobe we're talking about, my bet is no.

Creative Cloud menu app switches desktop when opened

Every time I open the Creative Cloud menu icon it switches my OSX view to a random other desktop space, usually my fullscreen Evernote.
This is either a strange bug or very silly default behavior. I don't want to have to unpin it from the menu bar just to get it to work.
Please fix? Thank you.

Hi David,
This happens in both OSX 10.8 and 10.9 (I'm on 10.9.1).
See this video for what it looks like: https://cloudup.com/cikWwZsFCbB
You don't need any CC apps open besides the menubar app.
It seems to default to the 2nd desktop space, so sometimes it is over a normal space, and sometimes it is over whichever fullscreen app is currently in the 2nd space.
Try switching to another space from the one you opened the CC app in and try clicking the menubar again.
I haven't tried the dragging it to the dock and assigning to all spaces yet, but that shouldn't be necessary to fix this behavior.
Another small bug is that when it switches from a fullscreen space to a normal space, it doesn't know the fullscreen button in the menubar disappeared, so the position of the popup is to the left of the actual menubar icon.
See this for example: https://cloudup.com/czCAogNkLkg
Thanks.

Store access problems with different Mac user accounts

Hi,
My daughters account cannot connect to the iTunes store ONLY when she is logged into her user account on our iMac.
When logged into my user account she is able to connect to the store.
I can connect to the store if I log into my iTunes account when I am logged in her iMac user account.
Hope you are still with me!
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 & iTunes 7.6.2 (9)
The computers firewall settings are 'allow all incoming connections'.
There have been no changes to our netgear router.
As stated there is no ISP issue here as she can connect on other Mac user accounts and I can connect on her Mac user account.
I have deleted her .com.apple.iTunes.secure.plist
The error message -50 takes about 5 minutes to arrive after the 'accessing iTunes store' eventually stops. We have also had error -4 on one occasion.
It is possible to view her account details but when clicking on the iTunes store icon in iTunes it doesn't connect to the store.
I have deleted the existing iTunes file and downloaded a new iTunes file. I have changed the purchasing from shopping cart to one click in iTunes Preferences.
And I have emailed apple. Their reply hasn't been of help as yet.
Hopefully someone will have some ideas as to what to do next!
Regards, Jon

I've had another reply back from Apple which I am posting should anyone else have similar problems. Sadly it is a very disappointing and I think rather strange response.
+I understand that you are still unable to sign into your accouint on your other computer. I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused you and I would be happy to assist you today.+
+I have looked further into this issue and your issue seems to be caused by a technical issue, which is out of my scope of support. The iTunes Customer Support answers questions about iTunes Store billing and accounts, downloading purchases from the iTunes Store, and iTunes Store content.+
+However, Apple also offers support for the .Mac services. Please visit the .Mac Support website to review the information provided or submit a question to the .Mac Support team:+
+http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac+
+In the future, if you need assistance with the iTunes Store, please don't hesitate to contact us again. I hope that you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store. Thank you for being a loyal iTunes customer.+
Sincerely,
So my question is Who answers technical iTunes support from Apple?
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple - their design, the fact my computer does 'just work' and the way I now listen to music. Just a bit surprised by that reply.
Anyway fortunately I solved my problem and I hope this thread helps anyone else.

I updated to Muse CC (2014.2) recently, but this morning it appeared in my Creative Cloud menu as needing to be updated again. Is that a minor upgrade with the exact same name?

The update is for few bug fixes and will show 2014.2 in CC as the update includes hotfix : Release notes | Adobe Muse CC
For exact version details you can check about muse from Muse menu options.

Should custom icons for USB appear on other Macs?

I have a custom icon for my flash / usb drive that doesn't appear in other Mac computers. The default icon appears. I haven't been able to test it on another Leopard Mac.
Is this regular behavior or not? Is there a way to make other Macs show it? I looked around for info about this and didn't see it. Thanks, guru pals.

Normal. Stored in launchservices.plist, I think. But it is normal. Not like an MP3, where the album art can be stored on the file.

Creative cloud menu bar

The creative cloud client on my Mac is in the menubar. But it appears way to often. When I start my Computer and occasionally. The window just appears.
Is there any way to hide cc from the menubar and keep the cc client window from appearing?
This is so super annoying as I don't want to view a list of apps I can install when I am working.
Also, if the cc client would have been a real menu bar applet, it would disappear, once the user clicks on other applets in the menu bar.
I want to hide the cc client completely, so it only shows up, when an update is available.
Any ideas?
I am using OS 10.9.4 and CC 1.71.418

I tried this. Didn't work.
Never mind, I renounce on the cc client entirely. Lightroom sync works, and I will use Dropbox and upcoming iCloud Drive for synced files. And every 30 days, CC will lunch, so I can sign in and check for updates.

Creative Cloud menu and OSX Full screen mode

I recently uninstalled CS6 and installed the Creative Cloud version of all the Adobe CS apps on my computer the other day. So far, I like it, and that part if things is working well.
However, there is this annoying behaviour that I would like to fix if I could...
On a Mac it's possible to put an application into full screen mode and then use a swipe gesture to move between fullscreen apps. Whenever I do that, and then swipe back to the desktop, the Creative Cloud menu insists on dropping down on the main desktop screen... Every. Single. Time.
I then have to click the CC menu bar icon to get rid of it. Again, Every. Single. Time.
Because I use fullscreen gestures a lot, this continual dropdown of the CC menu is starting to get REALLY annoying.
Anyone come across this before? Do you know how to stop it doing it?

Jaredtorres the original issue disucssed in this discussion was addressed on 7/15/13. You can find the current release notes listed at Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/release-note/cc-release-notes.html. By default, after updating, the Creative Cloud Desktop application will also be in Window mode.

Creative Cloud Menu Bar Bug (Mountain Lion)

I see this everytime I use Mission Control when CC's menubar item is running. Could we hope for a fix in the next update?

I'm glad I found this thread, because it helped me decide never to give Adobe another penny for their sloppy, user-hostile software and extortionate business practises. I was about to make the mistake of installing Creative Cloud, but within 10 minutes it became crystal clear that no-one – NO-ONE – at Adobe gives a flying fig for the user experience or even bothers to think about what a customer's first impression of the software might be.
First off, while trying to install After Effects, I was greeted with the insane "Please close AdobeCrashDaemon to continue" message loop. Have you muppets ever tried actually installing your own software?? This problem has been around since CS2, at least. Who operates like this and thinks it's Ok?
Then I discover the issue reported by tzeruk below, where the Creative Cloud menu bar item bounces you back to whichever Desktop space you were in when it was first launched. This remains unfixed for over 3 months. In truth, it's probably been there since the very beginning.
All of this before I've even got to use the actual application I was downloading.
As others have said, once it gets customers signed up to providing a regular income stream, Adobe has a vastly reduced incentive to provide bug fixes, and it was never very good at it in the first place - Adobe is still the only major software company I know of to release a major new version of an Application (Adobe GoLive) without providing any bug fixes or improvements to the previous version.
Adobe has justified the move to Creative Cloud as a way to combat piracy, but the fact is there will always be a certain level of piracy. To avoid mass-market piracy you just have to provide good software at a reasonable price. Adobe has proved themselves institutionally incapable of doing this.

Jprice000 what operating system are you using? Has the Creative Cloud Desktop application worked previously?
I would recommend utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Picture Slideshow Freezes Up & When Trying To Skip Ahead, Menu Icon Appears

So, I am viewing a picture slideshow and at one point into the slideshow (not always the same picture), the slideshow stops and it freezes on one picture. Then, when I try to advance to the following photo by pressing the fast forward button, an odd Menu Icon appears for about 1 or 2 seconds. The icon then goes away and nothing else happens. The picture never advances.
I took two photos to show what this oddity looks like:
What is this, why is it happening? Is my iPod malfunctioning? Should I bring it back to the store? (This problem has occured more than once.)
(For those wondering, the photo is of a volcano dumping hot lava into the ocean and forming new land, in Hawaii.)
60 GB (Black) Windows XP

That is Normal it is when the photos finish the photo slide show will stop on the last picture and when you try to fast forward the menu thing will apear its just normal
