Illustrator CC is missing in Creative Cloud app

I am a Mac user who is trying to install Illustrator CC but Illustrator CC is not listed in available apps to install. As far as I can tell it is the only one like this.

Illustrator project went missing from Creative Cloud files

I am using a trial version of illustrator and have been working on a project for a week now and then today I went to open it up and the file shows up in recent files but says it is missing. I checked in my creative cloud files folder and it is no longer there. After opening illustrator again it no longer shows up in my recent files either. I am trying to get this file back since I was almost done.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any advice or ideas!

Hi,
Are you aware of this bug after the most recent update? Why do I have 3 'Creative Cloud Files' folders? It could be the case your file is actually in another Creative Cloud folder. Could you please check and report back.
Thanks

AMD FireGL GPU + Creative Cloud app = Color Depth & other Issues

Hello, I am writing this post to help anyone who may have ran into the same issues I am seeing with my AMD FireGL graphics adapter when using the Adobe Creative Cloud app on a windows 7 PC.
I ran into a problem installing and setting up the Creative Cloud app on my new workstation that has an AMD FireGL graphics processor.
First off, the system is new (dell precision m4800, with an AMD FireGL V M5100 GPU), and has all the most current drivers and updates available.. that is to say, this is not a hardware issue.
The system operates just fine outside of the Creative Cloud app, but when I installed and attempted to login to Creative Cloud for access to download Illustrator, etc., the Creative Cloud app would open up and then only display a blank white page. No graphics, no data, just white.
When I got stuck at this point I called Adobe support and spoke to a rep who had seen the issue before. The rep worked around the blank white page in CC by loading the windows device manager and manually disabling the AMD FireGL GPU device to re-install and login to the Creative Cloud app.   This temporarily forced windows to use the default/dummy VGA graphics driver supplied with windows.   With windows using the dummy 256-color vga driver we were able to get the creative cloud app running and get me logged in to install my design software. HOORAY!--or so I thought....
At this point I assumed the issue was resolved, but I found that there was a new issue popping up every time I rebooted my system. Windows would load and log me in using the 32bit color depth setting, but as soon as the Adobe Creative Cloud app started up, my color mode would switch to 256 colors... D`oh!
Obviously I don't want to run at only 256 colors, and neither should you! Adobe, why does my color depth change to 256 colors every time the Creative Cloud app is loaded?
If you want to temporarily reset the color depth to 32bit, you can go to Control Panel -> Display -> Adjust Resolution -> Advanced Settings -> Monitor Tab -> & select "True Color (32bit)" from the Colors drop-down menu. Using this method will allow Adobe Creative Cloud app to continue running 24/7, however this is only a temporary fix, which will need to be applied every time the system is rebooted, or any time a user logs off then back in.. Frankly, its a bit of a PITA, so why bother?
The permanent fix is simple.. go to Start -> & do a Search for "msconfig".   Once found, run the msconfig utility and switch to the "Startup" tab, where you will be presented with a list of boot time startup items. Find the one labeled "Adobe Creative Cloud" and disable it by removing the check mark from the corresponding check box.   Then click OK. You will be warned that a restart may be required.. go ahead and re-start.   This time, when the system boots, Adobe Creative Cloud will not load, and your color depth will remain at 32bit. YAY!
If need be you can always load up Creative Cloud manually from the start menu if you need it, but it will knock your color depth back to 256 colors. Thus far i have had zero issues using adobe photoshop or illustrator without first loading the Creative Cloud app, so it isn't required. If i need updates or need to access other features within the Creative Cloud app i can, but it doesnt need to run 24/7 to use other adobe apps.
The short explanation is that Adobe is failing to fully and properly support the AMD FireGL graphics platform. The adobe rep i spoke to essentially said the same thing, but made certain to blame the graphics device and not adobe software--sure thing boss.   The truth is that the FireGL and its varients have been on the market as long or longer than the nvidia products that are supported fully by adobe.
It is clear that Adobe has made a choice not to fully support AMD Workstation graphics (FireGL) since not only is the Creative Cloud app broken and causing problems, but also no graphics acceleration features work in any of my installed adobe apps.. I basically get a message saying "please us a supported graphics processor". Seriously, how is FireGL not "Supported"?
I am not an AMD or FireGL fanboy.. Frankly I cant stand AMD graphics adapters and I genuinely prefer nVidia on my personal systems. At home, my 5 year old $100 nVidia gaming card is fully supported in all the adobe apps..
At work, however, I have no choice what hardware is provided to me and this lack of FireGL support has negatively impacted my productivity more than once. Admittedly, nvidia has much more market share than AMD in the workstation graphics realm, but that does not mean adobe should just ignore AMD completely!
Hopefully this post will shed some light on issues with Adobe Creative Cloud app and FireGL graphics cards that others may be experiencing.
Good Luck!

Minor correction... I called my GPU the FireGL, which is the old market name.. The current, proper market name is FirePro.. same line, just new branding after AMD purchased ATI.

Nothing will download off the creative cloud app (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc...)

Hey.
I'm trying to download Photoshop and Illustrator from the creative cloud app. I can't seem to get either of them to download after purchasing the monthly student package. Photoshop seems to download fine until it stops at either 42/51/52% and will never finish downloading. Illustrator never even begins the download process and just sits at waiting. I'm running Windows 8.1 and have never had this problem with any other program. As for troubleshooting it I'm not sure what I could do so I simply deleted all creative cloud data off my computer and tried again from scratch, no use. Also did a system update and restart, again to no avail.
Please advise,
Jesse.

Illustrator / photoshop / Creative Cloud app - all not launching

Waited 2 hours on chat and was told "specialist team" only work weekdays - even though it says 24hrs support??
Apps simply don't open, they launch, then that's it - they don't respond.
Using a mac - first issue after about 2 months of everything runnning smoothly.
AE launches and runs fine.

Hi Anthony,
Since removing the opm.db file and signing out/ in did not work. I would suggest that you use the Adobe Clean tool to remove the software and reinstall.
Make sure your computer can still access the adobe servers. Check the hosts file.

Updating the Adobe Creative Cloud App via AUSST

Recently I began rolling out the full CC suite to my mac users pointing to an AUSST server which seems to run fine for updating some of the CS5/etc products.
My primary reason to roll things this way is so I can set scripts to automate their updating of software as they do not have local admin permissions.
After the install, the Creative Cloud app that lives in the status bar prompts wanting to be updated. If I select no/quit and then call RemoteUpdateManager it does not find an update for this application.
To update this application requires admin priv's which sort of negates me rolling these apps out in this mannor. Did I miss something somewhere?

We are having the same issue. To avoid manually entering administrator credentials on each mac every couple days, wWe started using RUM. RUM works great with updating the individual apps (like Photoshop and Illustrator) but, it does not update the CreativeCloud.app. So, every couple of days, the IT department gets a call from each Mac/CC user to enter the administrator credentials so the CreativeCloud.app can make changes to the system. The defeats the purpose of using RUM. Is there no way to remotely update the individual applications AND the update/install the CreativeCloud.app?

Adobe Creative Cloud app not displaying already installed apps and can't install new apps Mac OS 10.9

Hi,
I've been using the new Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for a couple weeks now perfectly fine, until yesterday. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects quite extensively. This morning, I opened the Adobe CC app and all but Adobe Acrobat Pro show installed. The other already installed apps have buttons to "install" but clicking this button shows the "Exit Code: 7 - Unable to complete Silent workflow" error in the logs. Ive tried disabling my Sophos antivirus program and restarted several times. The already installed applications themselves seem to function normally, they open and work projects. I've even tried to uninstall one of the already installed programs (Bridge) and it fails to uninstall, saying I need to restart my computer and disengage my anti-virus, which I've done. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe CC app as well, and have the same result. Help.

So I've completed the solutions listed in the help article with no changes. Here is how it has gone with each solution listed in the article. Also, it is not clear in the article whether these steps are to be done in sequence or may solve the problem individually, but since Solution 1 fails for me, doing them in sequence was impossible.
Solution 1: Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
This does not work because uninstalling any of these applications does not work. As I stated in the post, the uninstaller for all of my adobe applications (photoshop, bridge, indesign etc) throws the same error each time saying I need to: restart my computer (done) close all applications (done) and disable my antivirus (done, which was fully engaged when I installed the apps originally with no issue) and disable my firewall (done, I don't use one). Not sure what I'm missing on that, plus its a real bummer that I need to reinstall all of my CC apps even if the uninstaller did work because my creative cloud app won't recoginize they've been installed.
Solution 2: Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
This did nothing.
Solution 3: Download and install the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app from Creative Cloud for desktop.
This did nothing.
Solution 4: See the steps listed in Solution 1 to remove all installed Adobe Creative software. Once all Adobe Creative software has been removed, use the CS Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal. You can find details in Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
This did not do much because I can't uninstall the software to begin with.
What am I missing?

Creative Cloud Apps Telling Me I am in Trial Mode. Help!

First time I have had an issue with my Creative Cloud subscription apps. My account is in good standing since May. On a Mac running 10.6.8
As of this morning, when I try opening any of my Creative Cloud apps, I receive a notification saying "Sign In Required" -- We will now register your trial to your Adobe ID.
I installed the most recent updates on Monday, Dec. 17. After installation, I had no problems opening the software.
This morning, I launched Adobe Photoshop CS6 (ver 13.1.0) with no problems. Then, when I went to launch Adobe Illustrator (ver 16.2.0) I received the dialog saying "Sign In Required" for all my apps.
When I click the "sign in" button, it opens the apps in "tryout mode". When I quit and reopen Photoshop, InDesign, Illlustrator there is a window asking me to either license the software, or continue the trial. When I click "License This Software," it tells me sign in is required so I hit "sign in." But this then prompts me for a "serial number" -- which Creative Cloud subscribers don't have. And now all of my software is doing this.
Please...any help would be appreciated!!

Spoke with a very nice gentleman from Adobe Creative Cloud support.
He suggested, when you get to the "Sign In" page, to click "Not my Adobe ID" and it will take you to a page to sign in with your Adobe ID.
This worked!
He said that the recent updates had caused a glitch that was a "known issue."
Hope this helps someone else!

How do I re-download Acrobat pro XI when Creative Cloud app thinks it's still installed?

I've been having no end of grief with Creative Cloud on my late 2009 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac, running OS X 10.9.2. It slows my finder redraw down so that sometimes it takes 5 minutes to display the contents of a folder in the finder.
So a couple of months ago I removed the Creative Cloud app from my machine, and things started running smoothly again except I was unable to update the rest of my CC apps.
Needing to update the Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop CC, I reluctantly reinstalled the Creative Cloud app, which refused to recognise that I had a bunch of Adobe apps installed (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, Bridge) ... all except Lightroom, which it recognised. So I uninstalled all my apps and re-downloaded them through Creative Cloud so CC would 'see' that I had the apps. Not so easy with Acrobat XI: I had problems opening it so I went through the 'Uninstal Acrobat XI' app in the Acrobat folder, and now Creative Cloud thinks it's still installed and therefore I can't download a fresh copy.
Should I go through the rigmarole of uninstalling Creative Cloud again and run the risk of it losing track of all my other apps once again, or is there another way to work around this? Every time I try to download from the Adobe site it launches Creative Cloud...
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me please.

With the help of Adobe support, I signed out of Creative Cloud and signed back in. Although I'd done this yesterday with no result, it worked this time and I'm currently reinstalling Acrobat.

I am trying to install Creative Cloud app for Desktop and it's shutting down

Trying to install the Creative Cloud app for Desktop but every time I try the Adobe Application Manager shuts itself every time. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
If it is automatically installed, where do I find it? I don’t think it has installed because the Application Manager shuts itself so fast every time.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
I went into Applications> Utilities but there is no Adobe Installers folder or icon there for me to do anything with. I went back to my Adobe account front page and tried to download Illustrator again seeing as it hasn’t installed but when Application Manager tries to open (the little spinning icon) it spins about 3 times before I get a pop up saying that Adobe Application Manager has failed to open. This happens every time I attempt to download Illustrator. Any other options for what might be the issue?
Thanks again!

Apps removed but still showing up in Creative Cloud App. How do I reinstall them?

After installing several apps on my laptop, After Effects, which I use for my business, wouldn't function on my desktop. I didn't know that you had to turn off the creative cloud connection on one computer before going to the other. Since I needed to deliver my projects, I removed the apps on my laptop. Three of them didn't seem to have an uninstall button on them. It didn't show up for some reason for - After Effects, Acrobat XI Pro, and Illustrator. I tried to find all references to them and finally threw every reference to them I could find into the trash. I must have left something in my system still because in the Creative Cloud menu, it shows that I still have those apps on my laptop still and that they are up to date. However, as I said, I threw everything that had to do with those apps that I could find in the trash.
There doesn't seem to be any way to reload these three apps in the Creative Cloud app and since they are no longer in my Applications folder (I'm on a Mac) there is no way to uninstall or do anything else.
How can I clear out the piece of software that thinks these three apps are still installed so that I can reinstall fresh versions? Thanks.

Creative Cloud app not working on windows 8.1

I have looked around on the forums and seen similar problems but the app itself won't load up, it just has a small window. I can't interactive with this in anyway apart from move it about and have to kill it via task manager.
If I need to update it how do I do this when I can't acces it?
Dan

Hi Dan,
Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Cloud app?
We have this document that is related, normally you should be prompted to update after quitting and relaunching the app.

Creative Cloud App Won't Install CC Apps or Update CS6 Apps

I have the CS6 Master Collection installed on my Mac. I just updated to the new OS X Mavericks 10.9 hoping that might solve the problem, but the Creative Cloud app still is NOT working.
The app tells me I have updates, and gives me the option to add the CC apps for the Creative Suite, but gets to maybe 42% and then gives a general error.
The pop up window error says:
Installation failed.
Errors encountered during installation (7).
And when you click on More Information, all you get is this:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
which tells me nothing.
I am not able to do anything with Creative Cloud, except to update the Creative Cloud app itself every few days. The CC desktop app (which runs from my top menu bar) is up to date, but still doesn't work.
How do I get the app to work and update my CS6 apps and install the CC collection?
Thank you!

"Exit Code :7" is not what you need to look up. See the screenshot below for my error code.
I looked up "Error: DF024" and below is the link and a screenshot of what it said on the Creative Cloud help page.
Error DF024 installing Creative Cloud products | Mac
I changed the name of my "Recommended" folder to "Recommended_backup". I then reinstalled and got the same error. I reread the code and realized that the path for my error is slightly different than what is listed on the Creative Cloud Help page. Instead of a path of "Library/Colorsync/Profiles/Recommended", mine actually read "Library/Colorsync/Profiles/Profiles". This time I went into the folder and changed the name of of the "profiles" folder to "profiles_back-up" and it worked!!!!!!
Below is what my folder looks like after a successful install of Illustrator CC. The 2 folders highlighted in yellow are the folders that I renamed and the 2 green highlighted folders appeared after installation.
