I have to install CC Desktop every time I start my Computer

Whenever I open an Adobe CC app on my laptop, Creative Cloud starts up and I see the icon on the top bar of my computer screen. Not so on my Desktop computer. It never starts up on it's own and if I have problems with apps (which seems to happen often), I first look to see if there is an update. However, if I have turned off my computer since the last time I used CC Desktop, it won't start. If I try to start it from the Applications folder by double clicking the alias it does nothing. If I try to start it by double clicking the actual app icon in the Utilities folder, it does nothing. If I download the CC Desktop installer and start it up, it stalls during Initialization, the color wheel spins, and I have to restart the computer to quit out of the installer.
The only thing that works is for me to start up the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and "clean" the Creative Cloud Desktop app, which essentially makes it dissapear from my applications folder. I don't know what happens to it, and it is not in the trash, I just know it is gone and only then will the new app install properly, and it starts up.
And this happens every single time. So instead of simply starting photoshop and going to work, I have to screw around with restarting and cleaning and downloading and installing for 25 minutes first.
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Or have a solution?
My machine is an Early 2009 Mac Pro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon with 12 Gig of RAM.
I have an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 card

No solution I am afraid apart from what you have found. I occasionally have to completely re-install all of the apps as well. Same here, it happens after I reboot the system, if I keep it running then I am good.
Very early Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Xeon, 8GB, ATI Radeon HD 4870 and 10.7.5
It is beginning to drive me mad.

Every time I start my computer, I have to uninstall and install flashplayer !!!

Every time I start my computer, I have to uninstall and install flashplayer.

All ready have 3.6.12 but keeps trying to install and i keep getting failed message every time i start my computer

every time i start my computer says update 3.6.12 ready to install. no matter how many time i have clicked install i get a message -- partail update not be applied. i all ready have 3.6.12 and cant get the thing to stop

It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
If a reboot is needed then that usually means that some (security) software is blocking files or you need elevated Administrator permissions.<br />
Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as ... : Administrator).
If that still causes the same problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install. You need to download a fresh copy of the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

I have to reconnect to my DAQ device every time I start my computer... Why?

Hello, I am Ricky, a process engineer intern at a company. I am still a novice at LabVIEW and NI MAX. We have one cDAQ9181 set up to pneumatics and another set up to an encoder. Now, every time I start my computer the pneumatics box is already connected, as expected. However, the encoder one is not. When I click on it in the sidebar, it is found and connects, but the encoder itself does not connect until I perform a self-test. These devices have stayed plugged in and connected overnight, and yield no other issues -- they should be connected as soon as the computer is on. Does anyone know what is going on and/or how to solve this? I can try to provide a picture if necessary.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to offer some valued help! -Ricky
Solved!

USB? You might want to check your USB power settings. By default, Windows likes to enable a power saving feature where it will turn off the USB hub power. This has caused a lot of problems with people using USB DAQ for long tests. But you can disable this feature by going into the Windows device manager and going into the USB hub settings.

I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

HT2490 Keyboard preferences changes language every time I start my computer

Hello
I've been having so many problems since I updated my computer to Maveriks. One of them and probably the most annoying one is the keyboard preferences.
I bought my computer in Mexico and the keyboard has always been setup in Spanish ISO since I remember. Since the update Every time I start my computer my keyboard settings are set in English. So I went to the panel and add Spanish and deleted English form it and it works. The problem is that I have to do this everyday, which is completetly stupid because it used to work before.
Thank you so much
Hope you can help with this little but annoying problem

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it. However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security. The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password. However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected. So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

Have to refresh Yahoo bookmarks every time Firefox starts for it to open

Every time I start the 4.0 Firefox I have to refresh the Yahoo bookmarks several times for it to open completely for them to
become usable

I dont use tabs and only use the Yahoo toolbar bookmarks(about 200)they dont show up in the Firefox or IE bookmarks.After starting Firefox from being offline
these dont open.From the pulldown button in the toolbar I go to tools>then refresh bookmarks sometimes several times for them to open all the way for normal use.It was'nt until the more recent updates this started happening.Another thing started happening at the same time in the Yahoo mail when trying to delete mail from the spam and trash folders when you select all>delete the cursor would go right to the to the OK button.Now I have to drag
it to the button.this only happens in Firefox in Yahoo mail.

Satellite L100-130: Sound every time when start the computer

I have got a Toshiba Satellite L100-130 (my first notebook and my first experience with Windows XP). When I start my computer I hear the Microsoft Windows XP Sound, but after that I have to manually adjust the sound volume, because it is set at 0 every time I started up my notebook.
I wanted to know if this is normal with Windows XP/notebooks or there is something wrong with... anything...

Hi
As far as I know the L100 has no volume switch at the notebook side. Am I right?
Therefore the software application is responsible for the volume control.
Like Jeffrey has written in the post above you should check the sound volume controls in the sound and audio devices.
There you will find many controls. Check if all are set to the higher level.
But if it doesnt change the sound volume settings so I assume its a default setting and you have to increases the sound volume if you start the Media Player.

Why is that every time I start my computer it asks for my Yahoo email password? How can I fix this?

The computer keeps asking for my password for Yahoo. I already gave it but it asks over and over. This happens every time I start using the computer.

Firefox icon appears on mac desktop every time app starts

every time i use firefox on my mac, a firefox drive icon appears on the desktop. I have installed the program properly and a firefox icon is in the apps folder as well as in the dock. Yet, each time I am finished using it, I have to quit the program and then "eject" the icon from the desktop to get rid of it. How can I prevent this icon from appearing every time I open firefox? (I have tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed firefox on macbook pro, with the latest Mac OS ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Babylon window displays every time i start my computer it says strings.dat is missing or corrupted how can you get rid of this?

When i start my computer a window appears from Babylon and the message in the window is strings.dat is missing or corrupted.
it has a button to push that says ok but when clicked on with curser nothing happens i uninstalled all babylon down loads and this was left behind would just like to get this out of my computer.
can someone please help.

pretty much exactly what i just figured out how to do it ealrier today! its a bug*er!
i have posted a help request on a tech forum with logs etc incase there is any deeper infection, and will post any decent answer here. ok?
basics for ridding of the actual babylon searchbar is like this...
loading firefox, noticed that my google search bar wasnt google anymore and had ababylon icon instead!
ASLO the browser displayed a FAKE GOOGLE search page!
so i opened firefox, typed "about:config" in url bar and then you look just underneath the url bar, and you'll see another search bar.
type babylon into it. right click on all of the results, and click reset.
thats it now disabled totally for now.
next go to tools>addons and look down the list and click uninstall babylon...
bingo.
but its not over yet! .....
next go to start> search and type "babylon" (without the quotes) and see what comes up, mainly in programme files\mozzilla\search plugins
and in the macromedia folder. if you get a "cannot delete.." notice, then that just means you havnt closed firefox (wich is odd coz you've apparently uninstalled the bug*er), so close firefox, then delete. you should now get rid of them all.
it DOSNT show up on add/remove programmes, and it didnt show up on uninstall in advanced system care, though you may try the other uninstall button to the right , but you'll need to type in the "pathways" ( eg C:\my computer\programme files/etc).
i'm still not convinced that this is the end of it though.
from other forums i have noticed folk contacting AND phoning babylon and basaically being either abused or told they wont help.
it seems to be invisible to AVG (i have the premium one too!) though around the time i installed the xvid codecs i did get an avg notice warning of an infection found in my t-mobile modem (dongle) but it seemed to actually be the tmobile liveupdat.exe, so i left it as i am sure i would get even worse problems if a effed around with it. (ie no connection, (eventually)
this is th link to the posting i made on techguy
please dont post willy nilly babylon posting on it so the volunteers dont get pist off, as that wont help if there are really deeper problems to solve. this is the link to it [[have i cleaned babylon hijack infection properly?|here it is]]
