Desktop app hangs on windows 7

My desktop CC app just hangs when I click on it.  Two days ago I was able to download and install Photoshop and Dreamweaver but I have not been able to download or extract Adobe Pro.  I really need Adobe Pro for some class work that will be due this semester.  I was getting an error connected with Internet Explorer but I have IE 11 and Adobe was still kicking it out and not extracting or installing.
At this point I am pretty disappointed in these products that you pay for.  As a student money is tight and now to have to spend two days trying to find help for a glitch is frustrating.

Rpolak53105 do you receive any specific error messages?  I would recommend you start with Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html as it is possible the connection to the Adobe servers could be blocked and cause the application to freeze.

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop app ios7 to Windows 8.1 Pro

    For anyone using an iPad to remote desktop to your Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit computer, I recently posted the following distress call in the Microsoft Community Windows - Windows 8.1 - Other Windows apps by Microsoft - Other.
    A Microsoft Support Engineer there suggested I post it here instead. The 1st part is the distress part, the 2nd part is how I finally solved it and then a different problem started ...
    Part 1
    Help, I'm going crazy trying to get this Microsoft Remote Desktop app on ios7 to connect to my computer running Windows 8.1.
    I've added my computer name, user name and password, but even though it starts to connect it never does and gives me an error message saying:
    Timeout while resolving hostname
    I've set up my computer to allow remote connections and allow connections only from computers running blah, blah, blah.
    What am I doing wrong?
    In the past I was able to use logmein free without any problems until they stopped the free version. I can also get through using Team Viewer, so why won't the RD Client app work?
    Part 2
    Doesn't matter now as I ended up working out that it didn't work with my computer name. What I had to do is go to cmd and type ipconfig to find
    the right ip address and insert it where it asked for computer name and it worked! Of course, then it kept disconnecting, so I've totally abandoned it and will use Team Viewer instead (until I'm willing to try again). 
    So that's where I'm up to.
    I didn't find anything useful in this TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473013.aspx
    So any suggestions on how to make Microsoft's RD Client app on ios work without disconnecting all the time?

    Hi,
    For this issue,as Milos said,using the host name requires your network to resolve the host name properly through DNS.
    So this issue is related to DNS.In many home network configurations only the IP address will work properly.
    Regarding DNS,I suggest you check the configuration on the ipad.
    Regarding how to add host name to IOS,I suggest you contact apple support for help.

  • How to register a desktop app that supports Windows 7

    I want to create a desktop app that uses the OneDrive API. This app will be compatible with Windows 7 as well as 8.1.
    Do I still have to register it with the Windows Store?  If not, how do I receive a client ID?
    I don't want to create a "modern" application. I want to create a desktop application.

    Hi Richard x64,
    You can receive a client ID by registering your app at
    https://account.live.com/developers/applications/.  More information on creating Windows Desktop Apps using our LiveSDK can be found at

  • Desktop App hangs at Loading...

    I have a desktop application that I have been using for a while now.  Now when I start, I get the "Loading..." white screen and then it hangs.  I did the usual--Reboot, Clean Solution, etc.  I also searched for other users suggestions,
    but it seems that most people use the Web side.
    I changed the configuration from Release to Debug (Client and Server in the configuration manager) and this time I got the "GetAuthenticationInfo" error that has been written about a lot without specific answers.  Funny thing, the next time
    I tried to load, it worked.  So I can run the app in Debug mode, but when I switch back to Release mode, I get the Loading  hang again.
    When I open the Configuration Manager (drop down the Debug/Release button) I get 3 entries: Client, Server, and the Project.  I only have a problem when the project is set to Release.
    The backend is an attached SQL Server database.  I have a copy of the database on my local PC and on the server and can switch back and forth between them with the same results.
    Anyone have any ideas?  I know Yann is a Destop guy, I hope he can help.
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    According to your description above, here are some suggestions for you:
    Cleaning and rebuilding your current Project (Right-click > Clean, Right-click Rebuild respective) and see if that makes any difference at all. 
    Enable diagnostic, and
    turn the build output up
    Hope it helps.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App refuses log-in for Windows 8

    I've been getting this "unknown server error" for 4 days on my windows 8 creative cloud desktop app. I cannot install other CC aps until you resolve this.
    -- This has been a problem ever since creative cloud FORCED me to "upgrade" the creative cloud desktop app last weekend. 
    The Desktop CC app worked fine before the forced upgrade.
    The error looks like this on my screen...
    http://s24.postimg.org/rta8cf9dh/retry.png
    To solve the problem, you must explain how do I get the upgrade creative cloud app to read my correct log in info?
    I'm using windows 8, AND I've already tried the following...
    1. re-installing creative cloud from the creative cloud website (did it 4 times now)
    2. changing the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE_old" (did not work)
    3. I also tried installing this exe: PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe , which did not work

    Hi Terranovascreen,
    Which OOBE folder have you renamed ? There are 2 which exist.
    Please follow the suggestion in the link below which might help :-

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

    The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.

  • Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

    Hi,
    I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
    I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
    To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
    only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
    Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
    Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
    A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
    Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
    Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
    (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
    you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
    Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

  • Switch to fullscreen in a desktop app which is running windowed

    I have a desktop application that runs with a transparent masked border, so since it's not a fullscreen application i have <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor. BUT I'd like to be able to switch to fullscreen mode in some instances. I try to do so with:
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    But this doesn't seem to work. The app is still not fullscreen after issuing that line. I suppose it's because of the descriptor, but if I set  <fullScreen>true</fullScreen> the app will start fullscreen, which I don't necessarily want (usually it's a windowed application with transparent chrome).
    So is this possible?
    Thanks!

    I have a desktop app using <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor and have no problems switching between fullscreen mode or windowed mode just by setting stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; or stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    There may be something else at play causing the fullscreen mode to fail.

  • Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" or "Windows Store App" filters.

    Hi all,
    I don't know where to post this or how to feedback to the "Store" app.
    My friends and I think Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" filter feature.
    Thinking when you search for the app and have some Desktop apps appear in search result can be sometime frustrated.
    Or some user just want to find some desktop app for his PC, he should search in Windows Store easily by just filter only desktop apps.
    I think it would be a great feature for Windows Store.
    Thanks.

    Hello P.
    when you have the Windows-10-Preview, you can use the feedback-function to provide the information to microsoft directly. As Microsoft meantioned in the live-Stream (21/01/2015), microsoft is giong to listen to users feedback.

  • OSX 10.8.5 CC Desktop App window empty

    Hi,
    I have the following problem. I used After Effects CC for a customer project and wantet to browse the text animation presets. The system told me, that Bridge is not installed. After logging in at the Adobe CC homepage and clicking on the download button for Bridge I got the message: Unknown Server Error.
    I than followed the steps on the adobe page to solve the problem and updatet the CC desktop app to the newest version. After that the app window simply stays complete empty / blank. Several restarts, deinstallation and reinstallation of the desktop app did not help. The window is still empty.
    When I now click on the Bridge download button and accept opening with CreativeCloud(URIHandler) with another click, nothing happens. The window is empty and I cannot install anything.
    I also tried the second solution on the CC page with deleting the opm.db file in the folder: Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    But unfortunately there is no file with that name...?
    The system, java etc. is also updatet to the latest versions
    Please help.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have quit and reopened the cc app several times without success.
    Meanwhile I deleted the complete OOBE folder, deinstalled the CC application and installed again. Nothing changed.
    When I turn off networking, the app works like expected and I can see the relevant menue with all menue points. But without network I cannot use them. When I turn on internet access again, the window remains blank after searching and probably finding network.
    At the moment I cannot launch any CC application because the system identifies me as a test-user - at least that is what I think. If I could login using the cc desktop app, the programs should start as normal. But unfortunately the window is still blank.

  • How can I get the Creative Cloud Desktop app To work on Windows Vista?

    Currently My CC Desktop app is a greyed out icon.
    It has been on and off for months now.
    I have called technical support several times and been directed to
    1) Uninstall it
    2) Run the cleaner
    3) Turn AV Software off
    4) Delet my prefrences
    5) Delet Hosts file in Windows 32 folder
    6) Restart, Restart,
    7) Use a diffent User account. etc.
    The apps work= PS, INDD, AE, PROJ, AI, DW, Fla, etc.
    But the Creative Cloud Destop app does not. I have to use the web browser to upload or sync any files.
    Anyone have any other ideas I welcome them.
    My specs,
    Running windows vista, on a very good HP machine.
    I have been a loyal Adobe Customer, For more than 15 years.
    I have been an Adobe Certified Expert for 3 years or more.
    I work professionaly with this software as a teacher. I have taught this software to college grads. and now to highschool students.
    Ususally Adobe is one of the best companies to deal? Please stop farming your support calls to other countries, The connections are poor, and the support is terrible and it is damaging your reputation.

    Hi D2xS-Shooter,
    I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
    Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Update 1.9.1.474 sets sync folder back to default (windows)

    Hi All,
    Second time this has happened with an update to Creative Cloud Desktop App (Windows).
    Update completes correctly but then notice that file sync is going mad and is re-syncing everything but to the default location (usually user\username\ - in Win 8.1).
    Last time this occurred I seemed to get some loss of files.
    I've now let it re-sync everything to the default location and then resetting it to the previous location (where files are still present - but is on a different drive).
    Surprised to hear Support (Swati) hasn't heard this occur before but thought it worth putting it out there to both warn others and see if its just me!
    This was for definite with update 1.9.1.474 of Creative Cloud Desktop (And think it was with the previous mandatory release).
    Cheers,
    M

    Hi Mark,
    as you correctly point out with the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
    The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
    The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown).  The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
    Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
    This occurs once, after the last update completes.
    The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to.  If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

  • After I restart my computer, Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app fails to open (Windows 7)

    I started having this problem pretty late last night. Some of my applications still work -- Audition, Premiere, Media Encoder, and Lightroom -- but After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator also fail to launch. Some display a generic "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You  may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." Other's don't, displaying a blank white icon next to the program file name.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled everything (including Windows 7). To be clear, Creative Cloud *works* after I reinstall it, but as soon as I reboot my computer or restart in order to reinstall other apps, I only see the image below. I canot edit preferences or view updates and requests. I then have to uninstall creative cloud and reinstall in order to get it up and running again.
    I'm baffled. No clue why certain apps load and others are damaged or something, and it seems there's no work around native to Adobe.
    Aother piece of perhaps relevant information; WIndows installed a critical update on Feb. 23rd (day before I started having this issue). Might be relevant, but I've since re-installed windows and in the interim period between that update and my first failure, I was able to access Photoshop and After Effects.

    Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. Renamed the file and was able to download new programs. I was even able to use them (after effects and photoshop), but when I restarted, they were lost again. Now Audition doesn't even work. I get this message: "Adobe Application Manager, required to start your trial, is missing or damaged. Please download a new copy of adobe application manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
    So basically, everytime I restart my computer, I have to download the cloud desktop app, install it, then install whatever programs I want to use. Then I can't restart or else I risk losing them and have to do the process all over again. Desperate for a solution on this one.
