Deinstalling Creative Cloud applications before upgrading Mac OSX?

Hello, I believe that I need to deinstall my Creative Cloud applications before upgrading my Mac OSX, but my question is whether I need to deinstall each application separately, or if simply deinstalling the Creative Cloud under Adobe Installers would handle everything. And then I need to reinstall each application separately?
Thank you
Chris

Hi chris2500,
First thing that you need to do is deactivate your software from the machine. In order to do so you have to launch any CC application/ go to help and select sign out. For uninstalling the software you will have to uninstall all the apps seperately.
For installing the apps download CC desktop and start downloading. The download will proceed in a sequence.

Creative cloud update fails on mac OSx. New installation is not possible, even after deinstalling creative cloud desktop. What can I do?

The last update for creative cloud fails. Deinstalling and new download fails also. The download stop at 45%. What can I do? Using Mac OS X Maverics.

I got this error.
Hey I'm having the same problem.
"Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from 'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'."
I did nothing to cause this.

Creative cloud application does not start on mac 10.9.3

Hi,
I am trying to install the creative cloud application on my mac. Installation goes fine but afterwards CC refuses to start correctly and just sits there and I see the blue spinning wheel and that is mainly it. I can let it sit there for hours but the state will not change. I tried re-installing, re-starting multiple times. I tried to install it on my main macbook pro and my mac mini but the results are the same.
I found somewhere in the forum a link saying to delete the opm.db file from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/ folder but that also did not yield any change in behavior.
I am a bit running out of ideas. Any suggestion how I can resolve this issue?
Regards,
Simon

Strange indeed suddenly it works. However the CC version remains unchanged. Looks like some server was maybe not available yesterday so it could not connect or log on. This does not shed a good light on the reliability. Let's see if it happens again during my trial period.

Can't install plugins in Mac Creative Cloud applications

Hi,
I've followed many of the step recommend here with no success, including reinstalling EM CC, rebooting, removing all plugins from EM Store...nothing. When I try to launch Ext Mngr, it launches but then hangs. I'm running Creative Cloud on a MacBook running OSX 10.9.2.
Here's my log file:

Any help from anyone?

Hi Christian,
It is a known issue if Extension Manager crashed/force quit during installing, it will hang at the next launch. But after you reboot your MAC, hopefully everything will back to normal.
Would you please try following steps:
1. Delete any files in "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log", and create a new file "ExManCoreLibLog.YES" in that folder.
2. Reboot your mac
3. Launch Extension Manager, if Extension Manager still gets hang or crashes, please send ExManCoreLibrary.log in "/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log" to [email protected]
Thanks,

Hi I am just now downloading Creative Clouds :-) as an upgrade from an old Creative Suite 5.5. Before that I hade a Creative suite 3 etc. Is it necessary that I keep all these old programs etc on my computer to make Creative Clouds work or is it better that I uninstall them? Kind regards, AnnaReet

It is not necessary to retain the older installations. YOu might want to consider if you will have any need for them in terms of working with older files, but other than that you can probably uninstall them without missing them.

If I upgrade my computer can I remove downloaded Creative Cloud applications and re-install them?

I plan to upgrade by primary computer later this year. If I download Creative Cloud applications now can I later remove them and re-install them on the new computer?

Sounds like we have to deactivate:
1. one application at a time [in CS5.5 I can uninstall & deactivate multiple applications, which is much more convenient]
2. deactivation must be done on the physical computer which hosts the application instance.
Is this true?
Feature Request: remote deactivation of applications by informing adobe to deactivate while logged in on adobe account. This cleanly solves two problems:
1. forgetting to deactivate s/w prior to scrubbing a computer which is leaving service
2. needing to run on a third computer w/o violating the adobe license. [several people have posted queries about this because they have a desk computer and two laptops or are temporarily using someone else's computer]

Creative Cloud Application Manager error/unable to update Lightroom

I am currently on a Mac and my Adobe Creative Cloud Application Manager (AAM) is having some issues.
I ran the update this morning when I heard that camera raw had been updated. The updated completely successfully for camera raw.
AAM is showing that my current version of Lightroom is 4.4. When launching the Lightroom application it is still showing that it is 4.3 and that the update for 4.4 is available. I checked the application manager in OSX and it shows that the current version is indeed still 4.3.
Since I am using creative cloud and not stand alone products, I thought that the AAM would update my programs and why is the AAM not updating my Lightroom from 4.3 to 4.4. Is it because camera raw updated and it is erroneously reporting that Lightroom has been updated?
I have never used a beta or RC version of lightroom on this computer, only final products and updates that have been provided with creative cloud.
Is Lightroom a program that you have to manually update outside of creative cloud application manager? That doesn't make sense to me since it is one of the programs included with the subscription and was installed with the application manager.
My hopes are that I'm not the only one having this issue and by posting this Adobe becomes aware of this.

Thanks for the reply.
To clarify for the community and to make sure I understand you (Adobe Staffer) correctly you are saying right now the current fix action (update path) is for us to update the same way we were if this was a stand alone lightroom install outside of creative cloud and seperate from the Adobe Application Manager. Which is downloading the 427MB file from the Adobe website and installing/updating?
I just want to verify before I do this and it causes future conflicts with my subscription and future updates.
Thanks for the help.

Problem with Creative Cloud Connection Preview app Mac

I can't get the Creative Cloud Connection preview app to download on Mac OS 10.6.8. The option doesn't show up in AAM and I keep bouncing back and forth on the website when I click Learn More. Is there something I'm doing wrong or not doing? I've got files in Creative Cloud that I can access through the website, but it's a real pain to have to download/upload every time I want to work on them.
I've attached a screenshot of AAM and the desktop app doesn't show up.
Anyone else experience problems with this?

Unfortunately, Creative Cloud Connection for Mac only runs on OSX 10.7 and 10.8

"What operating systems are supported?
Currently, the Creative Cloud Connection preview supports Mac OS 10.7 and 10.8 and Windows 7 and Windows 8 (both 64-bit and 32-bit versions). A broadband Internet connection is required.
Users running Windows XP and Mac OS 10.6.8 or earlier don't see the Creative Cloud Connection on the Apps page or in Adobe Applications Manager."

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application

Creative cloud applications keep asking me to login every time I launch an application on a same machine.
How to solve this problem?
Windows 7 Professional.

Or it could be patially related to typical pains when a company makes an enormous transition like this. Ironcially, just as i said in my post, my issue resolved the next day.
Listen, I undertstand the concern and certainly the frustration. I spend nothing short of 14 hours per day with Adobe apps open. primarily After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I know the hassle and I know the frustration of constantly having to sign back in, which i did for a bit too. But it's just a little melodramatic when people make idle threats they aren't going to follow through with anyway, about using a product that does what this does, and is such an enormous productivity tool that people say silly things. that's what I'm referring to. If you're going to choose an entire platform different than Adobe becuase theyr'e having issues on a brand new method of service and delivery you're an idiot anyway. Wouldn't you agree that the statements of ' i don't have time to test something' are a litle ridiculous? name any product, or purchase in any part of your life that has never failed at anything? and then saying thigns like it's suddenly an unstable environment, when the problem they're complaining about (and the complaint of course it legitimate) has absolutely nothing to do with the stability of the product?
it's the overblown, silly statements that make people look foolish, do nothing to help the issue, and offer nothing that crack me up. When I read someone saying things like that i pretty much ignore anything else they say because reason isn't something they are using at that point anyway.
See what you said? that has nothing to do with anyone I'm talking about. You made a valid point, didn't make silly comments like what I'm referring to. you said something I don't agree with, but you dind't go overboard and get all dramatic about it. I don't agree that it's an ongoing degredation of their rep. there is nobody even remotely close a valid competitor out there for this in the first place (depending on what software yoiu're referring to, but since we're in the CC forum i assume that's what you mean). The fact is, their reputation is so strong, no other software company can even compete. But even so I still see progress and innovation. Intel had a cushion with no competitor at one point, then AMD came in, and if you notice, within a couple years of AMD getting very popular, Intel started releasing their upgraded technology in less than a third of the time. But I don't think I see that laziness from Adobe. I don't honestly know that the reason is they moved to a subscription based environment but I know that almost all big software companies are at leasdt considering it. heck Microsoft was talking about changing their licensing and doing it the same way. And it's not for greed I'd guess, it's to comabt theft. At least that's my guess, i have no idea, but i don't believethat it's done and they would change their entire business model for a reason lefss important.
While we're on that topic I'd like to point out i bet this new process makes an enormous dent in the piracy, at least short term, so for me I applaud it. because when so many people steal the software, it means people like me, and i assume you, pay much higher prices for our legit licenses. So anything that can be done to thwart that has my full approval. But it also just happens to have some nice benefits, in that the pricing is pretty ridiculously low IMO for the entire suite of apps for 50 bucks per month. let' be honest, anyone using them for business which is primarily what this softwre is geared to, understands that while it might seem high, it's tiny compared to the montly cost of doing business, to keep an up to date, suite full of apps that would cost thousands were it not for the subscription. I'll admit, I bought the full suite on the montly just because it made sense. And it actually paid off. Recently I had a client that desperately needed ihs forms migrated to interactive. they were word docs, excel and plain pdfs, but because I happen to have a license for Acrobat, i was able to import those into pdf files and convert them to interactive forms. Then recommend he use the online service to manage them, and frankly it paid for 6 months of licensing for 10 hours work. were it not for the subscription based licensing i'd not have even been able to offer the service because I wouldn't have paid for acrobat.
Complaining about a piece of software you buy that doesn't work in an area, regardless of where it is, makes perfect sense. But the statements I'm referring to equate to someone buying a house, finding out the key doesn't work, or the doorknob is broke, throwing their hands up and saying 'i'm finding anohter house'. it's silly, and everyone knows there's no merit to it. But i get frustrated seeing it over and over, frewquently by people that hven't even paid for the software. Sometimes I post thing I shouldn't but hey, don't we all?
I like to browse these forums becuse I'd say i've learned as much of my knowledge by reading tricks, tips and resolutions posted in forums as I did through my classes and education. That's possibly an overstatement but not by much. I do get just as frustrated at the people constantly trying to belitte the company as they do with their issues.

The CC has been activated twice In the months of June & July this year. To install & activate it for third time.
You need to deactivate it from PC,
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

CC for Teams, not listing all Creative Cloud Applications

So here is my problem
Our company has just upgraded to Creative Cloud for Teams, but when I went to install the software on everyone's machines, I noticed that we were missing certain CC apps.
I also have a Standard CC license for my personal use to compare this to. Please see the attachment to show what our CC for Teams Application Manager Shows for availability.
As you can see I am missing: Edge Code CC, Edge Inspect CC & Edge Reflow CC
I also have quite a few CS6 apps still listed where there should be CC ones: Premeire Pro CS6, AfterEffects CS6, Prelude CS6 and Speedgrade CS6.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hello BEA Marcom

Then after that is complete click here to download the updated Creative Cloud application manager and install the software.
https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
You should be able to see the missing Creative Cloud apps that you are looking for
