Problem: Can't download/see software unless logged in as "root"?

I am on a MacBook Pro, This machine is a little race car...no speed or space problems here. so I am trying to download the Adobe Cloud software and I finally after several hours of being passed around to several chat helpers realize that I have to be logged in as the "root" of the computer to be given the "permissions" to download this particular software. So I log in as the "root" and I download the software. It downloads beautifully. It works properly...when you are logged in as "root". When you are logged in as a user on the computer you are able to see the software for the Cloud in the applications folder and you can open them indepentently. But you can not see them on the top bar of the computer screen where the Adobe Creative Cloud resides. When you open the cloud folder it is empty. Because of this you would not be able to use them properly. so I need help.

Many users have complained about not being able to download the BC drivers/software for the specific models (after 2013+). Apple allows direct downloads of the software for Macs up to 2013. Try to call Apple Technical Support or visit an Apple Store, if possible.

  • HT4848 Hello- My laptop needs the OS X recovery run. Can I download the software directly to a thumb drive without affecting my desktop unit? The Geek Squad said they need to wipe my hard drive and re-install the operating system. Thanks.

    They already damaged you Mac by fooling with the BootCamp partition without knowing what they were doing. I wouldn't suggest haveing them help you do anything.
    Here is the article that describes the Recovery HD: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    First, see if you can boot into the Recovery HD. Restart and hold down cmd-r until you see the gray screen. It should boot into Recovery. If your Mac shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, it will boot into Internet Recovery if it cannot boot into the Recovery HD on the hard drive.
    They should have tried this at the store.

  • I can't download any software from my apple store ??

    I can't download any software from my apple store ??

    To solve the problem, it helps to know what the problem is.
    Are you getting any error messages? Are you tapping on the download button and nothing happens? Please explain what is happening.
    Without knowing the full issue, generic troubleshooting you can do is go to settings>itunes and app store>appleID>sign out, then sign back in. Then press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until the device restarts.

    Check the iPod Hardisk health with the iPod  Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2

    It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

    I purchased Adobe Design Standard in June 1993 and have not downloaded it until now. when I click on the software on my account there is no download button. How can I download the software I purchased so long ago? I hope it is not money down the drain. Is there any phone number available so I can talk to an Adobe employee?

    Which version of Design Standard are you asking about?  I don't think any Creative Suite packages existed in 1993.  I think the first CS came out in 2003.

    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?
