Photoshop is a Desktop App

I just downloaded Photoshop and other apps to my desktop computer and now I am trying to download to my daughters Ipad Mini, and it is saying that Photoshop is a desktop app and I need to download from my computer. How do I do that?

There is no full PS for iPad. You need to buy and install PS mobile from the App Store or another graphics editing tool.

ERROR MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

I just sigend up for Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm trying to install Photo Shop onto my desktop computer. When I click the download button I receive an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer." I cannot move forward with the download. Any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks.

In my case it's Illustrator and I'm trying to reinstall it. Clearing the cache and using another browser were no help. When I use IE instead of Chrome, an authentication dialog opens to ask permission for CC Desktop to launch, but when I "Allow" it, all that happens is that the CC app opens and gives no indication of a dowload or installation taking place.
I've always been a strong advocate of CC and was one of the earliest adopters (May 2012), but this is the end of the love affair. I need this fixed immediately. I have work to do. If I had a set-up file sitting on my computer or a disk, I would have no problem right now.

I get this error when trying to download my new CC apps: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll..."

Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."
Uh, that's what I'm trying to do. Not a very helpful message.
How do I download?

Dgennetten please try completing the following steps:
Please locate and rename the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE folder to OOBE_OLD
Reinstall the Adobe Creative Cloud Application from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
Dgennetten is there a specific case number which I should review in reference to the BUILD conference you attended? At the moment I am only using the information which is available within this discussion.

CC desktop app not showing correct install status for Photoshop

I have Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom installed but the desktop app shows Photoshop is not installed.
Photoshop runs without problems via a shortcut on the desktop.
The Home tab shows Photoshop CC was installed.
The Apps tab doesn't show it - but implies that I can install it ...
If I click on install, then I get an error ... probably because it is already installed.

log out of your cc app and then log back in.

Why is the Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing that Photoshop CC is already installed?

I have Photoshop CC 32bit and 64bit installed on a W7 64bit, 3770, 32Gb ram etc system. No operating problems with Photoshop CC at all. But I have just used the Creative Cloud desktop app (I'm not sure if "app" is the right term - it looks like a CC "Manager") - red icon - to update Photoshop CC. No problems with this. But curiously, where Photoshop CC is listed in all the available CC programs, its status is shown as "install". It is already installed.
Grateful for any explanation. I'm not losing sleep over it, just curious. Thanks.

Make sure that your Language settings are the same between the apps and the Application Manager. i.e. Both English North American or English International. (I had the same problem, and that fixed it.)

Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
download error
download error. Please contact support.
(link) contact support
(link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
UPDATE
I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

Desktop app re-downloads installers without retrying on any failure

[Bug report/feature request]
The Creative Cloud desktop app on PC has a bad habit of downloading installers from scratch, without retrying an installation, when anything fails -- even if it's a minor connection problem after the installer has finished downloading.
This is wasting my monthly download quota with my ISP!
Here's an example of what's happened most recently:
Tell Creative Cloud desktop app to download the new version of Photoshop
Photoshop downloads (progress goes past 50%, at which point the desktop app will have downloaded the installer and initialised it)
Installer initialises
Desktop app reports a connection error to the adobe servers
Desktop app starts downloading the installer from scratch, with no option to relaunch the installer
What should happen:
Installer downloads
Any failure launching the installer? Ask if the user would like to try the installation again or download from scratch

I tried to report the same Feature Request for the Creative Cloud desktop app (in Windows) but this applicaiton does nto exist in the drop-down menu.
It is very frustrating for files (many that are greater than 1GB) to have to be re-downloaded when the internet connection fails, even momentarily. I'm a brand new Creative Cloud subscriber and this is not making me a happy customer.
The Creative Cloud desktop app needs to be able to handle interruptions in connection.

Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html. Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL. The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

Creative Cloud desktop app totally empty - not even Preferences...?

I have from before Production Premium CS6 and Lightroom 4 installed on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM).
I joined then CC Photography Package and after login to my account I went to the DL section to download one of the programs and install it. The Creative cloud desktop app is installed, but it is empty. Not only is there neither a Photoshop CC nor a Lightroom 5 there, there's no menu and if I try to determine the app version as in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html - there's not even a Preferences to select...
I get no error message, and going to the Download center and trying to download Photosgop or Lightroom just gets me a blink of "waiting for creative.adobe.com..." and then focus is changed to the empty Creative Cloud desktop app.
Checking my account I can see that both my product licences for CS6/LR4 are there, as is my CC Photography package.
I can add that I have restarted the system, reinstalled the Creative Cloud app and tried other things I can think of. But I still only get an empty Creative Cloud app, without a possibility to login to my Adobe account.

Uninstall Failed, Not listed in Creative Cloud Desktop App list

I keep trying to uninstall ANY and ALL of the Creative Cloud programs downloaded on my computer - Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro - and I keep getting the message in the screen shot I've attached. This goes for the CC AND CC 2014 versions. I have them all. None are appearing in my Creative Cloud deskop app. It is saying I have no apps downloaded. Right now I am in the middle of installing all of the CC 2014 versions (even though the programs panel of my computer (Windows 7 64 bit) says all of these programs are already downloaded, screenshot included below also).
In fact, moments ago - today is 10/24 - my install of InDesign CC 2014 just completed yet my computer says it was installed on 10/6???? Yes, even after a reboot.
Please note: This morning I started by uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop App and then reinstalling it successfully.
AND YES, I have already tried the Cleaner Tool 5 times, so please DO NOT suggest that. It does not work. I've also rebooted my system several times.
There is no firewall on my computer. Virus checking is not blocking it either.
Any one else experiencing the same? I need this fixed yesterday. I haven't been able to work in 24 hours.
Please help!

I'm experiencing this same problem where I can't uninstall or install any CC products, and haven't found a resolution yet. The cleaner tool definitely doesn't help and I keep getting messages that the uninstall failed.

Why can't I launch my Creative Cloud Desktop App? (I get Error -1712)

I have the Creative Cloud Desktop app downloaded and installed on my iMac (Early 2009/Mavericks OS). When I try to open it I get error -1712. Up until today I have been able to launch it. I cleared out my caches completely today so am wondering if that has something to do with it (cookies?). I can launch other Creative Cloud Apps such as InDesign Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font sync issues with TypeKit and InDesign as well--typekit says my fonts are synced, InDesign says they are not. Help!

You might try restarting your computer and then attempt downloading Creative Cloud again. In case you still face this issue please share the screenshot.
Thanks,
Vikas

Why does Creative Cloud Desktop App invite me to Install a program that I already own?

I am a recent subscriber to the Creative Cloud Photographers Program, which includes three programs: Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom. When I launch the CC Desktop app, the "Installed Apps" section lists three programs: Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), and Bridge. Lightroom appears under "Find New Apps" with a button that says "Install." But Lightroom is already installed! Why doesn't the CC desktop app list Lightroom under "Installed Apps" and why doesn't the button say "update?" I am hesitant to press "Install" unless I am assured that it is safe to do so.
Details: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
Creative Cloud Desktop app Version 1.7.1.418
Lightroom is 5.5

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately the URL you gave is a non-functional web page. The chat button on Adobe's Contact Customer Care page is also non-functional. I get the feeling Adobe doesn't want to chat, or maybe they went home for the weekend, so I came to the forum.

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...

Photoshop is a Desktop App
