Lightroom won't install through CC desktop app

I have a CC subscription, and when I got my new iMac today I started to download some of the adobe applications. It worked all fine with Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects, but when I tried to download Lightroom I got some problems. For the first I can't find Lightroom through the CC dekstop app so I went to creative.adobe.com to download it from there. When I clicked the download link I got a message box asking if I wanted to open it in the CC desktop app. I pressed yes, and when the desktop app appeared it said that Lightroom was fully upgraded. No download time, it just said the app was there. But I can't find the app on my computer. It only states in the desktop app that it's installed or something.
I think this can be resolved if I somewhat uninstall Lightroom from my iMac. But I don't know how to do that, or even if it is possible? Anyone know anything about this problem?
I run on Mac OSX Mavericks

Somehow it resolved itself now.
Think the mac needed a reboot...

Install Adobe CC desktop app

I am an Adobe CC member and am trying to install the CC Desktop app. I down load it ok then run the installer. It asks me for my Apple id to make changes but then a pop up window appears asking me to give my Adobe id and password. Unfortunately this disappears again within a second and I cannot enter information.
Any advice?

Install the stuff with sufficient user permissions in the first place and fix your user accounts.

Can't install the CC desktop app (MacOSX)

I am signed in to the Creative Cloud on a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) running OSX 10.10.2. This is my first install of CC on this laptop.
When trying to install an application, eg Muse or PS, I am prompted to install the CC desktop app.
Which I download and install. While installing, the installation just quits...
I have repeatedly tried to install, 11 times unto now. Tried restarting, etc.
Tried downloading the free trial as a non member, same result.
Tried as another account on my MBP, same result.
Who has a pointer as to what could solve this annoying error ? Someone at Adobe ?? Anyone else ?
Thx in advance.

J do you receive any specific error messages when installing the Creative Cloud Desktop application? Have you utilized the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application?

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - click save and then nothing else happens

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - I click save file when requested it switches to Step 2 of 3 but nothing is there and I have waited for a very long time for it to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Pat,
After your last email I decided to continue to trouble shoot the problem and finally found the answer from another user. Oddly enough when using Firefox it will default to a location on your computer to save downloads. If it encounters a problem it doesn't identify it, the program just "loops" back to the start of the download sequence. Once I changed the folder that the downloads are sent to the original way of upgrading occurred without fault.
I will go back into the discussion group and credit you with the answer because I really appreciate your assistance.
Thank you, Jim

Cannot install Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point.

I have a brand new machine running Windows 8.1. I don't know much about specs, so if you need more information on my setup, please tell me where to find it.
I cannot install the Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point. I had this problem many months ago. I had a chat with someone from Adobe, and they had no clue what it was. I then called in and the phone was basically passed around from person to person trying to figure out what the issue was. They took over my screen, they tried all of the stuff that I read in the forums. Eventually I asked for the highest up person in the office and that person found a workaround that has been working for all these months.
However, now that I tried to update the Creative Cloud desktop app, the update froze around 40-50% each time, so I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, then tried to reinstall it. Now I have the same problem that I had many months ago where when I double click on CreativeCloudSet-Up, and it says it's downloading, it freezes very early on and just sits there. No error message, just sits there forever until I kill the process. I can't even cancel it properly.
I have very slow internet. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been downloading all the CC apps directly from the internet, but since I'm paying nearly $60 a month, I'd really like to have the CC desktop app. I'm sick of downloading each update manually off of websites.
I have read every thread, empty or packed full of replies, and none of the suggestions seem to help me. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I really don't think that paying $60 a month should require me to fiddle with a bunch of files and cleaners, etc. I can't believe this problem has not been solved yet.
Could it have something to do with my computer? Or is my internet provider blocking something from Adobe? I have no idea and I'm honestly so frustrated. I come home from work everyday and spend the rest of the night trying to fix this issue, and I'm sick of it. I won't call in again, since it was a disaster last time. I was on the line for over 4 hours, and they still didn't properly solve the problem.
I am 100% desperate and tired of this.

Nothing? Is there no solution to my problem? Do I have no other option other than to cancel my subscription? Pirating Adobe's software would cause me a lot less hassle than this, and that's not the way it should be.

I paid for CC, but Lightroom won't install. Trial version is useless - an empty screen. I have no serial # - I'm guessing because nothing installed

How do I get rid of the trial version and get the one I paid for?

Antonia-
I don't have enough information from your post, and I am not sure if you are on mac or pc, but see if one of these fits your issue:
If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
If creative cloud is asking for a serial number when you start a Creative Cloud (CC) application, see this link: Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number
IF when you open an application that's part your Creative Cloud membership and you see a message stating you're running a trial, see this link:
Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
If you updated the desktop installer and the screen is blank: try this:
Rename the opm.db file.
Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db

How to install CS6 without desktop app

I have a Creative Cloud subscription and want to run InDesign on my laptop as well as on my iMac. I downloaded InDesign CC to the laptop but what I really need is to install CS6. Problem is that my laptop runs OS X 10.6.8, so I can't download the desktop app. The Adobe Application Manager doesn't give me the option to install an older version of InDesign. How do I install InDesign CS6 without the desktop app??

Unable to install Adobe Story desktop app on OS X

Hey everyone. I'm a recent owner of the Retina MacBook Pro and subscriber to Adobe Creative Cloud.
I'm having trouble installing the Adobe Story desktop app on OS X 10.8.2. When I go to the Story Plus web app and try to install the desktop app, the Air installer says something along the lines of "...the installer is damaged. Request a new installer from the developer."
Now on my previous MBP, this had never happened, and the app installed the first try. I've tried a multiple times to get this to work, but no avail. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me get Adobe Story running as a desktop app.
Also, one more thing: attempting to log in to the Adobe support forums sends me into a redirect loop on my notebook. I ended up having to log into here on my iPad. Not sure if that's a bug or something on my side; thought it I should point it out.
Anyways, cheers and thanks to anyone who can help.

I see this link on the Adobe Story forum here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1078357. Please post here in the Adobe Story forum and they will help resolve your issue.

Why won't the Creative Cloud Desktop App Work??

I have been trying for 2 weeks to get Creative Cloud to update to the CC versions from CS6 versions. I've tried all the different methods I've found on the Forums. Deleted the OOBE directory, tried to download directly from the Download page. Nothing works! the CCDesktop app is just a blank page - i've deleted and reinstalled the app at least 15 times - still a blank window for the CC Desktop app. Does anyone have a workable solution? I am running a 2011 iMac 27' 3.1 GHZ i5 core with OS 10.9.1

I'm having the same really frustrating issue. Did the link below help you at all? It did nothing for me. This problem with the creative cloud desktop being blank happened as soon as I installed the latest update for it. Ever since then, it's been blank, and thus, worthless to me.

Cant install creative could desktop app, but application manager!?

Hi there,
i downloaded the cc-setup file and it installed the application manager, but not the creative cloud desktop app. So i am able to install Photoshop, but not Acrobat for example. This is only possible in the CC-App. How can i fix this?
EDIT:
I found out this is caused by every windows older than windows 7 (in my case windows vista). So my new question: Am i not able to install a couple of apps (not included in application manager) due to my windows version? That would be terrible!

Hi Dullodir,
Adobe CC apps are not tested on Win Vista machine. The software may work on other OS's, but Adobe didn't test these and can't guarantee that the software will work.Please find the system requirements to install CC app: http://www.adobe.com/ie/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html .

I've subscribed to Creative Cloud Photography and the "Apps" window in Creative Cloud has been showing the spinning gear icon for two days. Still no Photoshop or Lightroom.
