Desktop App Player?

Is there any way to run iPhone apps on a Mac desktop?

You can run them in the SDK (Software Development Kit) simulator, well, at least some of them but that is the only way. You will need an Intel Mac.

Does Apple still use a checksum hash (or take other steps) to prevent Songbird media player desktop app from opening?

Hello. I've downloaded and installed Songbird for Mac desktop three times. When I try to open the application its icon briefly appears in the dock, but after several seconds it crashes without opening. My MacPro meets and exceeds the listed software requirements. Any ideas why the app won't open? According to http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-might-end-apples-open-source-pass/313 0, "For those unfamiliar with the story, Apple began "protecting" its iTunesDB file (necessary for syncing) with a checksum hash in September 2007. This kept people from using other music programs like Winamp and Songbird, alongside iPod files." That's ancient history now, and Apple does even allow the Songbird mobile app for iPhone. There is no Songbird app in the App Store though, and attempts to open the desktop app file downloaded from Songbird's site result in the problem described.
Possibility: I have a large iTunes music library - 16K+ songs - would Songbird refuse to open due to potential stability issues with importing a library that size?
Found a similar issue on the Songbird support boards here: https://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/...
Based on that info I opened Terminal and entered
/Applications/Songbird.app/Contents/MacOS/songbird -ProfileManager &
This opened a small dialog box that allowed me to specify a default user (but would not allow the default user name to be re-named). I was then able to go through several windows and opt to have my iTunes library imported, to have several Songbird apps imported, and to not provide user details. The window then closed, and the Songbird icon again disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Meanwhile, the Terminal app now displayed
this.addToLibrary is null in SBPlaylistCommand_AddToLibrary ?!!
I then entered the original command again, opened the default user box again, but then the default user dialog box closed and again the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Attempted to open Songbird from the Applications folder with the same result: the default user box appeared briefly, then closed and the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Any other ideas that might help this to open, or does Apple feel threatened and is therefore preventing users from accessing the app?

Songbird working exactly how it should here under Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Maybe try uninstalling as per manufacturer's instructions and reinstalling most recent version. I would be hesitant to muck around with a non responsive program as such with Terminal before exploring other Troubleshooting Paths such as other Third Party conflicts. Have you installed any anti-virus software? MacKeeper, Little Snitch or similar? Can you post a crash report. That may help further.But definately working as it should here.

Desktop app can't login

I can't login to the desktop app. It only says that my password/username is incorrect despite using the same for both on the web player. I've tried resetting my password twice and no caps lock isn't on or anything like that, but it only tells me that my username/password is incorrect. I can log in to the web player just fine. Edit: and now my Playstation 4 application cannot login either. Same problem.

If you are not using the latest build of Story then I'll advice you to uninstall the current version of Story from your machine and get the latest one from story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air and install that.
If you are still not able to signin properly in the application and you are a Story plus user then do the following on your mac: (we have seen this issue only on mac machines, let us know if it's otherwise)
1. Make sure Story is closed.
2. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/
3. Now rename the folder com.adobe.adobestory… [Just put something at the end] [NOTE: Do not delete it as we may need it later]
4. Relaunch Story and try to login.
If you are a Story free user then you can contact us @ DL-AdobeStory-Support <[email protected]> we'll help you get past the issue.
Thanks

Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
download error
download error. Please contact support.
(link) contact support
(link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
UPDATE
I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Desktop app re-downloads installers without retrying on any failure

[Bug report/feature request]
The Creative Cloud desktop app on PC has a bad habit of downloading installers from scratch, without retrying an installation, when anything fails -- even if it's a minor connection problem after the installer has finished downloading.
This is wasting my monthly download quota with my ISP!
Here's an example of what's happened most recently:
Tell Creative Cloud desktop app to download the new version of Photoshop
Photoshop downloads (progress goes past 50%, at which point the desktop app will have downloaded the installer and initialised it)
Installer initialises
Desktop app reports a connection error to the adobe servers
Desktop app starts downloading the installer from scratch, with no option to relaunch the installer
What should happen:
Installer downloads
Any failure launching the installer? Ask if the user would like to try the installation again or download from scratch

I tried to report the same Feature Request for the Creative Cloud desktop app (in Windows) but this applicaiton does nto exist in the drop-down menu.
It is very frustrating for files (many that are greater than 1GB) to have to be re-downloaded when the internet connection fails, even momentarily. I'm a brand new Creative Cloud subscriber and this is not making me a happy customer.
The Creative Cloud desktop app needs to be able to handle interruptions in connection.

Error 201; CC desktop app constantly logged out, won't redownload

Running CC on Windows 7, 64bit. Have run into the "Please log in/You are now logged out" loop before, so uninstalled the CC desktop app, renamed the OOBE file to OOBE_OLD, and attempted to re-download and re-install the CC app. This worked last time, but today every time I attempt to download, it gives me error code 201 and tells me to seek help.
There does not appear to be anything pertinent to this issue on the forums already. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi LawnSnark ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully or it can be lack of sufficient permissions as well.
Please create a new Administrator user account , Download Creative Cloud desktop app in new account and sign in.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html. Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL. The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

ERROR MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

I just sigend up for Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm trying to install Photo Shop onto my desktop computer. When I click the download button I receive an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer." I cannot move forward with the download. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks.

In my case it's Illustrator and I'm trying to reinstall it. Clearing the cache and using another browser were no help. When I use IE instead of Chrome, an authentication dialog opens to ask permission for CC Desktop to launch, but when I "Allow" it, all that happens is that the CC app opens and gives no indication of a dowload or installation taking place.
I've always been a strong advocate of CC and was one of the earliest adopters (May 2012), but this is the end of the love affair. I need this fixed immediately. I have work to do. If I had a set-up file sitting on my computer or a disk, I would have no problem right now.

CC apps only have try button in Creative Cloud desktop app

I received a free 1 year membership because i attended the Adobe Max Conference. I activated the membership in May 2013 and when I go to my profile at adobe.com it says the creative cloud membership is active until May 2014.
I updated my Creative Cloud desktop app yesterday to download the CC apps and did not have any problems or get any errors. All my CS6 programs are listed in the app along with the CC programs but the CC programs have a try button, not install button. Do I need to re-enter my creative cloud activation code again somewhere else so the programs I download are not trial versions.
I'm using OS10.8.4

Jodi I am showing 4 successful activation requests from yesterday. If you are continuing to experience difficulties then I would recommend contacting our support team. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

"Download Error" message in desktop app

Had an issue with updated payment info not taking a little while back. Found out when the desktop app gave me the "download error" message and to contact customer service. Got the billing info squared away but the download error message I'm getting is still all I can get on the desktop app.
I've tried signing out and signing back in, uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling and still no joy. Anyone else having this issue? Or any insight as to what else I can try?
Thanks

What browser, and have you tried with your firewall temporarily disabled?

Error code 50 CC desktop app install

I tried to update the creative cloud desktop app and it has now disappeared, I tried to re-install the app but it failed with "error code 50". I searched this error code and followed the link in the forum replies http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html, this relates to error code 1. nevertheless I ran the cleaner tool and it completed successfully. i again tried to reinstall CC app for desktop and again got error code 50. Need this sorted asap!

Sheenag99555967 did you also rename the OOBE folder after running the CC Cleaner Tool? What operating system are you using? What type of environment is this computer located in?
