How to install Creative Cloud on any drive other than my System drive...

You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'
Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Bhagawan: Hi Steve
Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?
Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?
Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.
Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.
Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.
Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.
Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.
Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?
Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?
Steve: "left on C:"
Bhagawan: Give me a minute.
Bhagawan: Thank you.
Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

I had the same problem and finally solved it.
It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
3. Be happy
Hope I helped

  • How to maintain itunes on a drive other than the system drive

    I would like to have itunes on a drive other than the Windows 7 operating system drive, and have it stay there.
    Never mind...I found a post which applies.

    Hi Maciejhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Maciej%20Przepi%C3%B3ra
    Thanks for your inputs.
    I have memory leaks in my code. I have tried iDialog->Release() code which reduces some of the memory leaks
    Though I want to use more clean method of InterfacePtr.
    "To prevent reference counts  from incrementing, as in Type 1a and 1b, use this constructor, which does not  call IPMUnknown::AddRef:"
    Which Constructor you are pointing out, I didn't get it.
    I tried InterfacePtr<IDialog> iDialog((IDialog *)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_IDIALOG));
    It started giving me assert again.
    Please give an example how to do it or which InterfacePtr constructor doesn't call AddRef().
    Many thanks for helping me with this.

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!

  • Can CC apps be downloaded to, and run from, a hard drive other than the OS drive?

    Can CC apps be downloaded to, and run from, a hard drive other than the OS drive?

    Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

  • How to install Creative Cloud in only one session?

    Hi,
    the situation is the following one:
    I have a Creative Cloud license and it's installed in my laptop (Windows 7)
    I would like to install Creative Cloud also in my work (a classroom) but in this place a lot of people works . I have a session in windows 8 with admin permission but I dont know how (if is's possible) to avoid that other people uses this software with my account.
    I wonder that it's possible but I am not sure how do it.
    Thank for your time and attention

    Hi A.Sancho Royo,
    If you are installing the products on a machine that would be shared , then once you are done with your class , you can always deactivate the product and that should terminate the subscription on that particular computer and resetting your counter back to 1 (keeping in mind that you have only got the product installed on one machine except for this one ) .
    I hope this helps .Please let us know if the ans works for you .

  • How to install PS CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.

    I want to install PS CC, Bridge CC, and Lr CC to a SSD other than the boot or "C" SSD.
    How to do that?
    Problem is, CC Set-Up automatically installs these apps to my boot or "C" SSD.

    I signed-out of PS; and deleted PS, Bridge, Lr, and Creative Cloud. The, when I download (i.e., saved) Creative Cloud Setup to my "A" drive SSD, then double click to install Creative Cloud, "it" automatically installs the Creative Cloud app to my "C" SSD.
    The app does not ask where I want to install Creative Cloud.
    I keep looking for an opportunity to "change the default install location" but I do not see such an opportunity.
    Previously, when I installed PS there was no opportunity to "change the default install location."
    Can you tell me how to find or force an opportunity to "change the default install location?"
    Where or how do I find "the CC app settings?"
    Does Abode have a manual install version for Creative Cloud, PS, Bridge, and Lr?
    FYI, my OS is Win 7 pro 64 bit.
    Also, why does Adobe automatically install a 32bit version of PS on my system?
    Can I prevent that?

  • How to install creative cloud on a second mac?

    i just bought creative cloud and installed it on a mac book. now i want to install this on a second and on a third mac (imac and macbook. how i manage this?
    thks for help.

    Same way you installed it on the first computer.
    Log in to creative.adobe.com/products and download the software
    now i want to install this on a second and on a third mac (imac and macbook.
    The license only entitles you to activate and use the software on a maximum of two computers at any one time.
    You can install it on a 3rd computer but you'll have to deactivate it on one of the other computers in order to use it on the 3rd computer.
    Will you be using the Cloud on 3 computers regularly? daily?

  • How to install creative cloud on second computer?

    Hi,
    I have purchased Adobe Creative Cloud for work and I'm one of 2 administrators. I am however the only the person using the products (the other admin is a general admin person  in our organization). I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud on my work computer (a PC) but would also like to install a few of the products on my home computer (a Mac) as well as I sometimes work from home and my Mac is generally alot faster than the PC. How do I do this? I have signed on to Adobe Creative Cloud online however it seems I can only download the programs I need as trials.

    -Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

  • Don't have correct permissions to any drive other than the boot drive

    I installed SL, and when it came time to enter in the user name, it said the name was already taken xxxx and so I entered yyyy. As an example.
    Now User yyyy has Read / Write permissions for everything on Drive 1, the boot drive, but ALL of the other hard drives have xxxx as having Read / Write permissions, and not for my new account yyyy. So everytime I need to write a file to a hard drive, I have to fix permission for the folder the file resides in. This is getting old fast.
    How can I change all my drives, folders, files, etc, etc to have yyyy permissions added without doing them 1 at a time?

    what kind of backups? manual ones? then it's ok to do the following
    select a drive and enter command+i. in the resulting popup, unlock the lock at the bottom, change the permissions as you want, then click on the "gears" action button at the bottom and select "apply to enclosed items".
    However, let me stress here that you should NEVER EVER use "apply to enclosed items" on ANY system created folders, system drives or TM drives. that includes btw things like your home folder, your desktop folder etc. use it ONLY on folders you made yourself. using it on a system drive will have catastrophic results. using it on any system created folder will likely have highly unpleasant ones because such folders often have invisible ACLs and using this button will propagate them inside.

  • Can i move itunes to another drive other than my c drive?

    I use a smallish SSD drive for my os and a couple games, i was curious if there is away to move  itunes from the C drive to a Bigger storage drive and still be able to fully use it.  Just need more space for Itunes and it contents.
    thanks for any help on the subject.

    Niel's advice above will work better. Moving the entire library as unit and then connecting to it works, and makes the next move easy too. Moving the media alone and then editing the media folder location in preferences doesn't work reliably, and may leave the library with broken connections to the old paths that need to be repaired.
    @Rockdwg: If you have any iOS devices you may also want to relocate the backup folder.

  • Drives other than my primary drive slow to open in finder/photoshop

    Hi, I have upgraded my Mac Pro to have all the bays filled up with drives. I set my primary drive (bay 1) for only applications. I set drive 2 to have documents/media and drive 3 as a scratch drive.
    The other drives outside of my applications drive get the spinning beach ball for about 20 seconds +. It seems like the drives are "sleeping" and take a moment to wake. Is this true or is something else going on? And if so, is there a way to set them to not sleep?
    Drives:
    bay 1 640 GB WD drive
    bay 2 1000 GB WD drive
    bay 3 1000 GB WD drive
    Thanks!

    I have 4 internal drives and there were times when I would have to wait 5-10 seconds for my drives to spin up, which was very annoying when using software that uses a scratch disk. So in my case, I wanted to permanently turn off my drive's sleep mode.
    There is a Power Management setting called Disk Sleep Timer that can be found under the Power item in System Profiler. The default setting for Leopard is 180 minutes, but your Mac's default setting may be different. You can access System Profiler under the Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Information.
    This setting can be changed by typing the following command in Terminal:
    sudo pmset disksleep ?
    Replace the ? with the number of minutes you want to set and press <Return>, then when prompted, type in your password. If you use a setting of 0 (zero), the hard disks will never sleep, unless you checked "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver Control Pane.
    To my knowledge, you cannot set the sleep mode for each individual drive, but this should help you.

  • Can the creative cloud apps be installed on a drive other than the boot drive?

    I have an SSD for the boot drive and keep most apps on an 'applications' drive. It appears that CC apps install by default to the boot drive. Am I incorrect? Can I control what drive they install on?

    Yes you can change the install location:
    Launch the Adobe Application Manager.
    Click on your name in the top left and from the context menu choose Preferences.
    Change the Install Location to the one you want.

  • Having trouble installing creative cloud. Any suggestions?

    It keeps giving me an error code 202. Saying that something is wrong with the download files. Not sure what to do. Please help!

    Hi Mcope003,
    Make sure you're installing to the default location as kglad suggests, delete the contents of the temp directory for your user account, or try installing again from a newly created admin user.
    Hope that helps,
