I just updated Creative Cloud to 1.9.1.474, and my entire CC folder just disappeared. And I can't access any of my 18GB of files on the web. What the hell is going on?

CC says it's re-syncing all 18 GB of my files back to my HDD. I'm on crappy wifi in southern Peru, and I can't access any of my work files for (CC estimates) 22 hours. I'm basically out of business for a day or more. How the hell can Adobe allow this to happen?

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]

  • TS1846 I have some troubles recently with Final Cut Pro 7 and would like to remove my preferences. I can't find any "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder but I do have some preferences.  So, where could be the file ?

  • I just updated Creative Cloud and it disappeared from my desktop.  In my profile, there is no longer a subscription to Creative Cloud--Just Photoshop for CS3 customers.  What is going on?

    A few minutes ago I got a Creative Cloud update notification.  I ran the update and Creative Cloud disappeared from my desktop.  What happened?  I still have Photoshop CC and Bridge CC.  But will I still get CC updates?  Also I no longer seem to have a Creative Cloud subscription--just something that looks like a monthly fee for keeping Photoshop for customers with Photoshop CS3+.  What is going on?

    I just had an online Chat with Adobe Support, and we uninstalled CC Desktop and reinstalled it.  That fixed the problem.  I have no idea what CAUSED the problem though.

  • Just updated creative cloud and its disappeared completely off my desktop and cant find it...HEEELP

    I updated the app as it insisted and once it got to 100% it completely went and i cant even find it on a pc search, its also no longer on my apps screen, anyone know whats happened?

    It shouldbe showing as a tiny icon in the system tray - and look like this (with or without the exclamation mark)
    It is supposed to be a picture of a cloud.
    If the icon is not showing, run Cloud from the Start Menu by typing in "Cloud" then click on "Adobe Creative Cloud".
    A Panel will appear and you then click on the "cog Wheel" as shown below:
    Select "Preferences" from the menu which shows, then make sure all four oiptions are ticked.
    Then close this panel via the "X" at the top right. The icon should then be showing in the system tray
    as mentioned earlier.
    I hope this helps :-)

    I've successfully used Adobe Technical Support Chat several times to solve problems like this.
    Go to   http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html   and follow the prompts, until you get the CHAT option. You will be talking online with a very smart and polite person from India, who has everything needed to solve your issue. I recommend you relax and go with the flow of this chat: it may take over an hour to solve your issue, but believe me, they DO actually have what it takes.
    Good luck.

  • Why did Photoshop dissapeared from list of updates after updating Creative Cloud?

    Hi,
    Seeking help for the following situation:
    July 14, 2013 Creative Cloud on my PC is listing the following applications that need to be updated:
    Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks and Photoshop.
    I updated Dreamweaver, Flash Professional and Fireworks.
    I did not update Photoshop as I had run out of time and had to turn off my PC.
    July 15, 2013. I start my PC and get notification that Creative Cloud has an update.
    I updated Creative Cloud. Got error message that installation was not successful then try again and it was successful.
    My problem: Photoshop is not listed any more as to be updated. What happened?
    My app version: Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.1.2 x64
    How to I contact some one at Adobe for help and support on this.
    Right here?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Roger6,
    If you are using PS CS6 version 13.1.2 then you are up to date with the latest update for Photoshop CS6 -- http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html
    The main other update that it could have been was the Camera Raw update, it's possible that also downloaded and installed.
    You could check your ACR (adobe camera raw) version to make sure it's the latest -- 8.1.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#whydoesnt
    What you're seeing with the CC application could be showing accurate information.
    Let us know if you have further trouble,
    regards
    Pete

  • Folders that I had previously created and put bookmarked sites in have disappeared and Im unable to create new folders for sites I want to bookmark. I've checked the support info and it doesn't say anything about creating new subject folders?

    Bookmark folders that I had previously created have disappeared so I can't access any of my bookmarks. The process I used to create new subject bookmarks doesn't seem to be there anymore. The apple support doesnt mention creating new bookmark folders or what to do if you lose your bookmark folders.

    Hi,
    As you just upgarded to Windows 7, please make sure SP1 is also installed on all systems and install the following hotfix rollup for Windows 7 SP1:
    An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us
    There was a known issue on Windows 7 which affected shared folders, that newly created or deleted files are not reflect in network folder immediately, which seems similar to your error. If issue still exists after SP1 and hotfix rollup please help confirm:
    1. If this issue occurs only on DFS folder in accessing with \\domain.com\namespace. Could you reproduce the same issue in accessing \\server\sharefolder?
    2. Will the same issue occurs after disabling Offline Files if it is enabled.

    i just bought creative cloud. MY MAC IS 10.6.8. What should i be at to run the programs and how do I update my laptop. It ran the trial of CS6 fine

    Cicleonepro you will want to utilize a Mac computer capable or running Mac OS 10.7 or later.  You can find the system requirements for the Creative Cloud at System requirements | Creative Cloud.  While older software titles are currently included with a membership to maximize your value I would recommend utilizing a computer which meets and exceeds the system requirements for the Adobe Creative software titles you wish to run.

    I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows.  How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

    Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

  • When is Adobe going to fix the problem of updating Creative Cloud

    Since September last year, updating Creative Cloud has been a problem.
    Every time I try to update I receive a failure message.  The "temporary" solution last September was to rename the Creative Cloud folder and try again.
    This problem still exists, and requires a permanent fix.
