Creative Cloud won't work after starting – just shows an empty window.

Hello there!
I just have downloaded the Creative Cloud desktop software to install a trial version of InDesign CC. Sadly, all I get after starting the Creative Cloud, is an empty window with the black menu bar on top. That's all.
I have tried to re-install it, to update Adobe Air et cetera. Nothing works for me.
My system runs on Win7 64bit.
Thank you for any help,
Michael

I encountered the difficulties with Mavericks and Dreamweaver running so slowly that the program almost unusable.
I tried all sorts of work-arounds, such as installing a clean Maverick system on a newly formatted disk. Then a minimal install of Adobe CC, and nothing else. It made no difference whatsoever!
Then, I was advised that uninstalling Adobe Air, which seems to cause all sorts of problems, would resolve the issue - which it did!!! Unfortunately, if you are using programs that depend upon Adobe Air, such as Muse, they will not work until Adobe Air is reinstalled.
Adobe have their head buried in the sand, and are offering no solutions, or responses to this matter.
Frankly, I cannot see any advantage of paying for a subscription  for Adobe CC, when Adobe CS6 offers virtually the same functionality at no additional cost!

  • Mac 10.5.8 won't restart after updates. just shows rainbow circle.

    I can't tell if the updates (e.g. Quicktime, etc) are not updating, or if it's just the computer that will not "restart" but I can't figure this out. 
    I've searched for a solution, but can't find one. Help?

    But you are. You can avoid that by starting your own posting. The original poster has never responded, since Feb 18th, to anyone, so it is unlikely that he would respond to you.
    If a friend gave you the iMac with Lion on it, he most likely didn't give you his Apple ID and password either, because that is what you would need to do future updates. Your copy of Lion is most likely licensed to the previous owner, not you. He should have given you the Mac with it's original disks and the original OS X version installed.
    When you post your own issue, you can reward those that help you by awarding points. That won't work when you hijack someone else's thread, because only the original poster can award points. Thus you're removing an incentive for anyone wanting to answer your replies. Not to mention that it waters down the intent go the original issue as more and more variables are added to the thread.

    Hi Pattie-F,
    It turned out that there was a fragmentary Uninstall of cc desktop that was being installed by startup routine ( .exe or .dll only?)  that was not showing in task manager that was preventing me or fresh install from deleting old files. When I went through startup list and removed all adobe startup installs I was able to reboot and run "cc clean" and get it to completely remove  cc desktop. Was late and went to bed at that point. Before I was getting message that cc clean was unable to remove all of cc desktop.

    Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

    No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
    What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

    Me: Yes
    Adobe: It means, issue is with Graphic Card drivers.
    Me: Yes, I knew that

    Me: SO... PS CC 2014 is incompatible with the AMD drivers?
    Me: I've installed 4 versions already. I'm running the latest beta now
    Adobe: Could you please provide me with Full name of the Graphic Card?
    Me: AFAIK, PS CC2014 is the only program that causes this error
    Me: AMD Radeon HD 6700
    Adobe: Dan, issue is due to the Drivers, which are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Adobe: You may be able to use other products, however if drivers is not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014, you will not be able to use them with Photoshop CC 2014
    Me: I think that you have that backwards. PS CC2014 is not compatible with the drivers. It is the only known program to have this problem. Well documented.
    Adobe: Please contact Graphic Card provider and check for the drivers or re-install drivers and check.
    Me: I did, and they blame Adobe
    Adobe: Okay
    Adobe: Photoshop CC 2014 is not compatible with the drivers you have for the Graphic Card, there might be issue with drivers.
    Adobe: We have checked with the error logs as well., it show  Fault Module Name: atiocl64.dll 
    Me: Again, PS CC 2014 is the only known program to clash with atiocl64.dll
    Adobe: I can suggest you to check if you can use the product from new Account and use the product or check with Graphic Card provider for the drivers or a proper installation for Graphic Drivers.
    Me: Again, I've done all of that
    Me: They blame Adobe, and frankly, they are correct. The problem only happens with your product
    Adobe: Please use different Graphic Card on your computer and check if you can use it with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Adobe: You can follow below link to know more about supported Graphic Cards.

    Me: Can we elevate this to the next level, please?
    Adobe: We have disabled Graphic Card drivers to check if you can launch the product and you were able to launch the product without using the Graphic Drivers.
    Me: Yes.
    Me: So PS CC 2014 will not work with this card?
    Adobe: Issue is with Graphic Card drivers, we can use Product with graphic Card
    Me: So PS CC 2014 will not work with this card?
    Adobe: Photoshop CC 2014 is compatible with AMD/ATI Radeon, 6000 series.
    Adobe: However you have issue with Graphic card drivers.
    Me: No, Adobe has an issue. And I have an issue with Adobe.

    Adobe: Locate sniffer folder and rename it ~sniffer.
    Adobe: *Locate sniffer file and rename it ~sniffer.
    Adobe: Before that, please re-enable your Graphic Drivers as well.

    Adobe: Please rename  sniffer.exe to  ~sniffer.exe

  • Adobe Creative Cloud won't install

    Hey guys,
    I recently tried to install Adobe Creative Cloud but during the installation process it will suddenly quit on me. I tried it again, downloaded the installer again, rebooted my computer, but still can't get it to work. I do have other Adobe products on my computer that I can open but Creative cloud won't. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Here is as much information that I can provide.
    Again, nothing is popping out. The installation just stops.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I downloaded this off firefox, and yes I have tried downloading it from a different browser.
    Not sure what firewall or anti-virus system I have.
    This has not worked before
    I have not made any changes to my hardware.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi adobe2368,
    It would help us if you could share the following  log files. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html

    I have looked around on the forums and seen similar problems but the app itself won't load up, it just has a small window. I can't interactive with this in anyway apart from move it about and have to kill it via task manager.
    If I need to update it how do I do this when I can't acces it?

    Hi Dan,
    Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Cloud app?
    We have this document that is related, normally you should be prompted to update after quitting and relaunching the app.

  • My itunes won't work after i downloaded Itunes version 7.6.1

    When i downloaded itunes version 7.6.1 it asked me if i wanted it to restart my computer or restart it myself i said restart my self and after i restarted it i looked and the regular icon for itunes wasn't there. it was different and then i tried clicking on it to open it but when i do a box pops up and it says "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" what does that mean? and how can i fix it so my itunes works?

    This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
    I assume you are using Windows.
    If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

This works but I would obviously prefer it just work normally. I have no corrupt preference files. Perhaps a file is missing? Thank you.

    I'm not up to your level of expertise yet. I'm networking and file sharing too, on my Mac Powerbook 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4; OS 10.5.8 Lepoard. At the public library I found by asking the clerk a book Authored by David Pogue. "Mac OS X Leopard the Missing Manual". It (the book) has helped me ask better questions. I'm not saying that your question "
    Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?
    is hard for me to understand, I went to system preferences and looked at the sharing box. when I clik it it opens up and the first thing I see is my computers name, and under that i see, " Computers on your local network can access your computer at: ...-powerbook-g4-15.local"
