I can't install The Creative Cloud desktop app in Mountain Lion. Error A12E1

If there's still any developer left in the fancy and deserted HQ in San Jose that still provides support, you might want to ask them what does Exit Code 5 means for them when installing AAM, since every developer uses exit codes in their own way, to check why is the install of Adobe Application Manager failing.

There's no easy scripted answer out of this issue, like I said, I already went through all the troubleshooting that was posted in your support forums and nothing worked. The only sure way to find the problem is to do it the proper way and find out what the error means.

How can I tell the Creative Cloud Desktop app that an app no longer exists?

I have installed Muse via the Creative Cloud Desktop app, tried it, didn’t like it AND deinstalled it. (Or so I thought.) However, the Desktop app still shows Muse CC as “up to date”, and lists Muse CC 2014 in “New versions available for installed apps”. How can I get rid of these, when I can’t even find a trace of either one on my Mac (including the deinstaller folder in Utilities)?

Thanks, here are my (mixed) results
Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps tells me to open /Utilities/Adobe Installers, which doesn’t show a Muse deinstaller, as mentioned above.
CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed lists 4 possible ways:
just the same: use the uninstaller in /Utilities/Adobe Installers, which isn’t there, so obviously useless.
delete opm.db in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE. This one was new to me, but didn’t help.
Install the latest version of the desktop app. I already had this, but I re-downloaded and re-installed it anyway. No difference.
Uninstall EVERYTHING as described in solution 1 and use the CS/CC CleanerTool. And NOW finally it gets interesting!
Actually I first thought this was bad joke, but it turned out I didn’t even have to uninstall anything else! I just downloaded the CleanerTool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6), launched it, selected Muse and got prompted if I wanted to try a regular uninstall first. Ok, if that’s still an option, why not? So the CleanerTool launched an application manager that was finally able to uninstall Muse, while leaving everything else in place. Thumbs up!
So until Adobe integrates a proper uninstaller into their CC desktop app, I recommend the CleanerTool!

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

Is there any way the Creative Cloud desktop app can indicate which Market items have already been downloaded?

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with the Creative Cloud desktop app, or something is going wrong with my installation, but I receive seem to receive no indication that I have already downloaded an item when I open CC --> Assets --> Market. Looking in my Libraries, I now find some items I've downloaded up to 4 times. Is there some indication I am missing? Is my installation of CC desktop messed up? Or should I suggest that there should be some indication of whether an item has been downloaded or not on that Market page in the app? Even when I go specifically to downloaded items, none of those items has the cloud with the arrow icon grayed out. The only time that icon grays out is when I download the item and keep that page/window open to download other items. As soon as that page/window is closed, the next time I open it, all icons are no longer grayed out, so I no longer have a clue as to what I downloaded unless I open my libraries in my browser. Seems a bit primitive.

Hi Elba, Thank you for your time and effort in researching this. Unfortunately, the above method you describe is more than a little awkward. When one shows the Downloaded window, as you illustrate, that greys out all the individual categories. So, if I were looking for brushes, I'd have to check if I already had it by going to the downloaded window, then navigate back to brushes by first going to Featured or Recent, and then to Brushes, (even All Categories is not clickable, though it looks active). I'd also need to have a very, very good memory, or be going back and forth very often, with how close some brushes appear, and how similar their names are.
Instead, in a browser window, I go to my library from my adobe.com page, so I can see what brushes I have while the window where I can download brushes is open:
However, this still seems awkward to me. Adobe could grey out the icons to indicate they had already been downloaded, while still allowing them to be clickable and downloadable. I guess more code would be needed. I see examples of this every day in both Apple's app store, and Google's play store. For that matter, even the Adobe CC desktop app itself informs me of what Desktop Apps I have installed on each computer, and even whether they need to be updated. I guess, though, the situation for all of those is a bit different, not being quite so cloud-based.

Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

Why is the Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing that Photoshop CC is already installed?

I have Photoshop CC 32bit and 64bit installed on a W7 64bit, 3770, 32Gb ram etc system. No operating problems with Photoshop CC at all. But I have just used the Creative Cloud desktop app (I'm not sure if "app" is the right term - it looks like a CC "Manager") - red icon - to update Photoshop CC. No problems with this. But curiously, where Photoshop CC is listed in all the available CC programs, its status is shown as "install". It is already installed.
Grateful for any explanation. I'm not losing sleep over it, just curious. Thanks.

Make sure that your Language settings are the same between the apps and the Application Manager. i.e. Both English North American or English International. (I had the same problem, and that fixed it.)

Why can't I launch my Creative Cloud Desktop App? (I get Error -1712)

I have the Creative Cloud Desktop app downloaded and installed on my iMac (Early 2009/Mavericks OS). When I try to open it I get error -1712. Up until today I have been able to launch it. I cleared out my caches completely today so am wondering if that has something to do with it (cookies?). I can launch other Creative Cloud Apps such as InDesign Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font sync issues with TypeKit and InDesign as well--typekit says my fonts are synced, InDesign says they are not. Help!

You might try restarting your computer and then attempt downloading Creative Cloud again. In case you still face this issue please share the screenshot.
Thanks,
Vikas

Anyone have constant freezes when the Creative Cloud Desktop App is running?

Having a rather odd issue. I'm on CC 2014 latest versions. Mac OSX 10.9.5. Mac Pro 5,1 (12 core x 2.93, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 680).
Having total system freezes (no error messages or kernel panic) when the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager is running on a wired Ethernet Internet connection. Strangely, I get no freezes if I use wifi for my internet connection. If quit the desktop app, the freezing stops, as well. It's definitely locking up due to contacting Adobes servers in the background,
I did notice lots of errors by the Creative Cloud Application manager in the console, but apparently they are benign when using wifi. I'm guessing there is some kind of network conflict at play here, but I have no idea what Creative Cloud is doing in the background when contacting Adobes servers repeatedly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Using wifi is an okay workaround, but I'd rather be on gigabit Ethernet.

Why is it so hard to find the download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app?

So - I have a subscription and I needed to move the location where the files were on my computer. The easiest path is to uninstall and reinstall. So I used the Adobe uninstaller tool (which, even though I told it to uninstall everything, does not uninstall everything). Then I rebooted. All Adobe CS creative cloud desktop apps are gone. I log into my Adobe account online, and the only thing I can find are downloads for downloading "trials" of the adobe apps - this is whilst being logged in. And to download the trial it starts to ask me questions about how I will use it etc. so I didn't bother.
When I go to the page that has what ostensibly looks like it will lead to the Adobe creative suite downloader/desktop tool, it takes me to the list of ALL adobe desktop app "trials".
I finally found it by hunting around in the help screens and Google for five minutes, but it's still obnoxious that there is no link to directly download the Creative Cloud desktop app here, which is where it sends you:
http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html
Instead all you see are a bunch of "Trial versions", even though these are included with the adobe creative cloud subscription.
So I don't really have a question, more of a rant at the stupidity of the way this is set up. When I'm logged in, I should be able to access the downloads, or at least the tool that lets me download the downloads, without spending time hunting around for it. It's ridiculous that it's not set up that way currently.

Same with me here is the link I found and used
