Creative Cloud spinning blue wheel, cannot download CC program or update CS6 programs

I have Master Collection CS6. I purchased a new Mac Pro last month (preinstalled with Yosemite) and installed all the programs. I tried to run Illustrator, was prompted to install the Java for OS X and did do, worked great. Three weeks later I subscribed to InDesign CC. I cannot download it because the creative cloud is stuck on the spinning blue wheel. I've done all the simple things, like uninstall and reinstall creative cloud (several times). I have run across threads that mention that updating Java makes it work but I cannot, in all my countless hours of searching, find a comment of someone who talks about having CC and CS6 installed. So I turn to the experts here, who know much more than I do. And I know I will probably wish I had done this right off :-)
I have successfully run Creative Cloud on my Mac Air, which I have not downloaded the Java for OS X.
I should also mention that I tried to run the update manager for Adobe (for my CS6 products). It stated there was an error, needed to install latest version. Directed me to the website, it downloaded but an error occurred when trying to install.
System is Mac Pro 3.7 Quad, 16GB RAM.
Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed
JavaForOSX2014-001 installed.
I need to be able to keep my Illustrator (and Dreamweaver) running smoothly but also be able to run the Creative Cloud panel for downloading InDesign CC and updating my CS6 software.
Thanks so much for any advice. Right now I'm paying for a subscription I cannot use.

Frey16 if you temporarily move the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater to the desktop are you then able to open the Creative Cloud Desktop application successfully?  If so then please put the folder back into that location and remove any installed Adobe Creative software.
This folder contains the update information for all of your installed Adobe Creative applications.  If the step above allows the Creative Cloud Desktop application to open then it would appear you have a damaged or conflicting update payload inventory.
Once you have removed all of your currently installed Adobe Creative software you can then safely remove the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater folder.  You will then want to reinstall any Adobe Creative applications you wish to use on your computer.  During your evaluation period you may want to consider just installing the CC applications or even the CS6 version of applications.  Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for the process to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  If you have an active full Creative Cloud Membership you can also utilize the Previous Version option to install Creative Suite 6.
If you do need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 the retail installation files can be found at Download CS6 products.

  • The Apps window in my Creative Cloud updater is only showing a spinning blue wheel

    I've just updated my app installer to the latest Creative Cloud one but when I open it up, the Apps window only shows a spinning blue wheel, no apps. The other windows (Assets, Community) seem fine.@

    I faced the same problem and hours of searching peoples various solutions. Tried everything under the sun over the last 10 hours to get the Creative Cloud Apps to stop spinning it's blue wheel... and FINALLY I have managed to get this to work for me, using the CC Cleaner tool. Hopefully it works for others also:
    Solution 2: Run the CC Cleaner tool
    Run the CC Cleaner tool to remove the current installation of the Creative Cloud Desktop application. For information on how to download and use the CC Cleaner Tool, see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
    Choose option 3 within the CC Cleaner Tool and then Option 1.
    Mac OS: Rename the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE.old.
    Windows: Rename the following OOBE folders to OOBE.old:
    \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    \Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application. 

  • Creative cloud only shows spinning blue wheel

    Hi,
    I have the spinning blue wheel issue on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    I have tried all the options in this article:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html
    I even uninstalled all Adobe CC apps and tried from scratch but that didn't help either however the problem still exists.
    Any additional ideas? Are there any logfiles that I could look into to gather further information?
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • Launching adobe creative cloud, spinning timer

    Like others below, my Adobe Creative Cloud is spinning and will not let me download apps. I've tried to follow instructions below to the OOBE folder and cannot find it. I've made it to the Adobe Applications Manager folder?

  • Creative cloud desktop app show APPD download error

    Creative Cloud desktop app show APPS 'download error' - gives the option to reload applications or contact customer service
    Reload doesn't work
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app - same error
    Trouble began after I attempted to download a Bridge update which wouldn't complete

    Spent 2.5 hours on support chat and screen sharing with adobe support today, and after many uninstalls, CC clean ups etc, they could not get it working.
    Like you, it has always worked until today.
    The only thing we could get to work was to login to os x as root user and run Creative cloud from there.
    It's a PITA, but I am used to it because my desktop CC installer has been broken since last year, so I now have two computers with broken CC installers.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
    good luck

    If you are using Windows Machine, just click on Start button and start typing CC, you will see all your downloaded Creative Cloud application there.
    And in case of Mac, at the top right corner, there is a magnefying glass caled as Spotlight. Click on it and start typing CC, it will show your downloaded Creative Cloud apps, there.

    there is no forced use of LR5 and your LR4 will remain in place and active. Should you decide to use LR5 it will try to,import your catalogs.
