My CC Desktop App (Mac) Home Panel is Hanging with a Spinning Gear Wheel

I'm running Adobe CC Suite on a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7.5). Everything was working fine until I shut off and unplugged my laptop for a weekend. When I started it up, the CC Desktop App launched and complained that it couldn't find an Internet connection (even though my browser and Apple Mail apps were working fine.) I closed the CC Desktop App, reopened it, and ever since then, the CC Desktop App Home panel hangs with a spinning gear wheel. The Apps panel in the CC Desktop app seems fine.
I tried deleteing the opm.db file inside the OOBE folder in my User Library. This caused the CC Desktop App to ask to to login upon launch. But, once I logged in, the spinning gear wheel started up again.
Anyone know what might be going on here or how to fix this problem?

Abhijit,
I'm afraid that my problem with the CC Desktop App Home panel is NOT a disk permissions issue...
Per your suggestion, I verified my hard drive, repaired permissions, and rebooted my laptop. However, when I click on the Creative Cloud icon in the Finder's menu bar, the Home panel still displays a continually spinning gear wheel, as it did previously. The Apps panel is properly displayed, and the Files and Fonts panels display "coming attractions" messages; I don't have any projects in the Behance panel.
Prior to visiting this forum, I did a Google search on the problem of "CC Desktop App Home Panel Hangs," and I found a couple posts suggesting that the only way to cure this problem is to uninstall all CC/CS6 apps, use Adobe Cleaner to clean up the CS6/CC installation, and then reinstall all the apps via CC...and that doing all this does not necessarily prevent the problem for recurring.
I must say that I'm finding certain aspects of the Creative Cloud implementation to be surprisingly buggy. I've already lost a couple day's work to dealing with Creative Cloud installation and functionality issues--which is very frustrating, to say the least.
That being said, if you have any other suggestions, I'm willing to try them, as I would like to get my Creative Cloud installation working properly.

09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted

09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted

First this:
In EnergySaver deselect "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". You must logout after the setting to make this effective.
This probably will not solve it, but let it be deselected.
When the issue is still there:
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command (after every command hit "enter" key)
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
when the answer is not 3 write it down;
then copy/paste following command
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
reboot
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
after that type EXIT in Terminal and close Terminal.
This does following for you:
it will set the hibernatemode to zero: the sleepimage (a copy of the complete ram) will not be written and the space on the HD is freed up.
This sleepimage does not do anything for you but taking time at sleep/hibernate and startup. It is an old remnant of earlier days.

Why won't creative cloud desktop app mac open?

Can't open Desktop app. "There was an error with this action. Try again later." How do I solve this?

I've been trying to open "Desktop App" for a couple of days now. I get the above error message. "Later" obviously isn't going to work. I've signed out of my account and signed back in, but that hasn't helped.
I can reach the App Mgr from PS, and I assume I could download a new program from the apps site. But the Desktop app should work, so I'd appreciate suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks.
Gail

Thanks for the prompt response. Up till a week or so ago, the app worked
fine, and I was able to do the latest updates. The chat option is always
there, but it's a nuisance, so I'm hoping someone will have another
suggestion.

My Imovie app is stuck in loading mode with the spinning wheel

I put a slide show onto my Imovie Application and now when I pull up that app it comes up with the slide show it gets stuck in the spinning wheel loading mode.

If you want to start the Restore Process over then follow these simple steps. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

My creative Cloud desktop app just keeps spinning and I can't sync my computers

I have been trying to sync my desktop to my laptop and my creative could app just keeps spinning and spinning. Internet works. I am signed in. When I say to sync now, it take a long time and goes through the process and then says it can't connect to the internet, yet I am on the Internet and my account is open. When I look at the desktop app, the Home page just keeps spinning and spinning. All programs are up to date. HELP!

Hi,

Thank You

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.

You've Been Signed Out Error - Can't login to Desktop App

I cannot sign in to my CC desktop app, so I can't sink with typekit or update any of the applications. Every time I enter my credentials, I get a screen that says you've been signed out, see below. I attempted to delete the opm.db file, no change. I uninstalled and reinstalled the CC app, no change. Please help.

Hi erikrfullerton,
Do you have any security software running on your machine? Are you on a managed network? Have you followed the steps mentioned in the article: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html.

MBA logs-in gets to desktop screen and gets stuck with a spinning wheel...

(I am not sure if this is the right thread for this -- MacBook Air 2009 version)
I can turn on, boot and get to the login window (personal accounts and guest account) and when I log in I get to the desktop and get stuck there with a spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time till I force-shut-down.
I tried booting is Safe Mode and that seems to work perfectly. I have the computer running in Safe Mode now.
How do I recover it to boot normally? I appreciate your helpful responses in advance!

You have to hold down Shift after you power up your computer. Here's a detailed instruction from apple.

hope that helps you... but my problem still persists.

App shows "loading" but it hanged and cant be opened nor removed

I have this app "Leme Cam" which is bigger than 20MB and requires updating through wifi or computer. While I was updating other smaller apps using the iphone directly, the phone tried to update this app as well and it hanged with the wording "loading". I tried to update it through itunes on my com but it could not be updated nor removed. Anyone kind soul out there can advice me on what to do? Thanks alot!
Ian

Might be necessary to restore your iPhone at this point but restore as new, not from a backup.
Connect your iPhone to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select the Summary tab. Make sure there's enough storage space.
Try this ... Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings. Restart the iPhone, then try syncing that app again.

CC Desktop App constantly requires clean reinstalls to work on Mac!

Hi Adobe community,
I have had constant problems with the Creative Cloud Desktop App not loading on start up or unable to launch it manually thus crashing every single CC application on my Mac running 10.7.5. Worst still, this is at least the 3rd time on this machine I have had to run the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool to be able to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop App to be able to start working with any CC app. It has barely been a week since the last time and it has done it again, this is rediciolous.
A few things to note.
This never has happened on two Window PCs I've seen running CC
A friend install it on their Mac (which is completely different model and probably was running OSX 10.8, though at the time I wasn't looking for that info) and I had to clean install the CC Desktop App to get it working.
I use the same subscription and jump between two machines, ie a PC at the studio and the Mac on location/at home.
If there is any extra information that would be useful to help diagnose let me know.

Hi Romsinha,
I have tried your suggestion and while it worked briefly after following your steps it is still having the same problems.
Some how I think this is a software bug for Macs that still needs resolving as I don't think everytime requiring a clean install everytime just to use Photoshop or other CC programs is optimal performance!
I would be happy to test any new fixes that are meant to fix the problem but at present I can't even tell you what version of the CC Desktop app is running as it's frozen though it supposably updated sucessfully yesterday...

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.
Microsoft Remote Desktop -> About Microsoft Remote Desktop -> Send log via email
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Creative Cloud desktop App for Mac crashes and does not work

Installed creative cloud for MAC (running OSX 10.9). App does not run. I see the Creative Cloud icon at top of screen (in menu) for about 0.5 seconds then it disappears.

I have even tried to run this from another dmim account. Same error.
