Server busy issue since i joined Creative Cloud

I had Lightroom 5 and then joined creative cloud and have been having issues ever since i signed up.  Every time i start lightroom i get a server busy error for hours on end.

A fix to Lightroom's “Server Busy Error” on a Windows 7 64 bit computer:
I see in the discussion threads there are a LOT of frustrated people over this Server Busy issue, so I hope this helps someone. This is what Adobe tech support had me do, which fixed my problem. I got through on the phone right away, and the fix took no longer than 20 minutes to determine, with the support person remoting into my computer.
I already had Lightroom 5.6 installed through my Creative Cloud subscription, and it had worked for a few weeks for me, although with increasing problems with the Server Busy box popping up. I was able to get rid of it by switching to Switch and Retry, but eventually it locked me out entirely.
Tech Support told me the problem was a permissions issue.
Try the following and see if it solves your problem:
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe, find the SL Cache folder and move it to your Desktop.
In C:\ProgramData\Adobe, find the SL Store folder and move it to your Desktop.
R Click on your Lightroom icon and “Run as Administrator”.
If it opens correctly, that shows it is working now.
Close Lightroom and reopen the application normally.

    Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
    Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

    The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
    I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
    I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

  • Who can I thank at Adobe for the 117 spam emails I received in 24 hours since joining Creative Cloud?

    Who can I thank at Adobe for the 117 spam emails I received in 24 hours since joining Creative Cloud?  I've tried changing my contact information but it keeps reverting back.
    Should I just cancel?  Please any suggestions welcome.

    Whenever I try to join creative cloud as a student it brings up an error when I try to enter my institution."We're sorry. Something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later. If this continues to fail, please contact Customer Support." Without entering this information I can't purchase anything. I've logged out and back in and that doesn't work.

    Hi there
    It looks like your order has processed successfully.

  • Lost Upgrade by joining Creative Cloud

    I would like to join and use Creative Cloud.  BUT, I own 2 suites, and 3 stand alone Adobe products (all of them are in the cloud).  Here's my problem.  Adobe has no exit strategy should I stay with Creative Cloud for 2-3 years and then decide to revert back to disk ownership.  In that scenario, if I want to then upgrade my CS6 disks (what I currently own) to the latest version, I will have to pay a premium price to upgrade even though I have been paying for Creative Cloud all through those 2-3 years.  I call upon Adobe to publish a policy that will allow a person exiting from Creative Cloud to allow upgrade to the newest version for the lowest upgrade price if that person was using the current version when they joined Creative Cloud.  The disk version has value and should not lose value because I decide to use a new service for the same software.  Until this issue is remedied, I will not consider becoming a Creative Cloud customer.  Creative Cloud is perfect for the user that has never owned an Adobe product.  They get the full monte for $50 per month and have nothing to lose.  Those of us that have paid (and paid and paid) for licenses over the years do not want to lose that value. 
    Please make this a priority for the marketing team to solve. 

    Guess the only caveat to this request is that exit strategies for the Cloud may become a non-issue if disk-based perpetually licensed products get discontinued by Adobe and they choose to go Cloud only for all products.
    That's speculation at this stage but the Cloud is Adobe's preferred distribution channel for software.
    It's just a matter of when.

  • CS6 existing serial number holder. Am I eligible to join creative cloud?

    Hi,
    I have purchased Adobe CS6 Master collection student suit from Adobe site recently, now I am thinking to join the CREATIVE CLOUD.
    I have tried to join threw the plan for the individuls -  ' Existing CS Customers special offer ' button. it leads to pick a plan. I have picked and try to join -  complete for cs6.
    When I click this button, it leads me to the join creative cloud page. When I try to sign in their with my user name and password, Its saying you are not qualified.
    I don't know why, I have a valued CS6 SERIAL NUMBER WITH ME and its already registerd.
    Could you advice me to get the proper steps to join the Cloud threw the existing CS Customer offer!.
    Thanks

    Edu versions don't  qualify for an extra discount because you already got them at a considerably lower price. If you are stil la student, use the the S&T version of CC, otherwise you will need to join CC without any further discounts.

  • My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same

    My photoshop opens, then closes itself since enrolling in creative cloud. I reinstalled - same. I use photoshop every day - HELP>

    So - I could get no reply on forums so I attempted to speak, on a web chat, to technical support. I waited an hour as the nine people in front of me in the queue were dealt with. Then I outlined my problem, set out above: signed out of CC as soon as I logged in. Tried all the fixes suggested all over the forums and one which was posted on the site by the CC team. No joy. Can't use apps now because when I try to use Photoshop CC (which needs to be authorised at the start of my subscription) it now requires a sign in and offers me only the trial version. "Ah," said my support assistant - you'll need to contact Technical Support. "All the options I was offered online were technical problems," I replied. "This is customer services;" he said, "I'll post you the link". The link sent me back to the page where I started and led me to him. What a shambles. So I have just received an email informing me that Adobe had successfully collected my monthly payment. And I have a service which I can't use. Brilliant.

  • I have just joined creative cloud just for Photoshop but it will not download?

    I have just joined creative cloud just for Photoshop but it will not download?

    We cannot know. Even calling your post would be an exaggeration/ understatement, depending on how you want to see it. We need hard technical facts - operating system, computer specs, what is the exact error/ problem and so on.

  • Joining Creative Cloud as an Australian student?

    This question may reveal a low IQ on my part, but I've tried several times to join Creative Cloud as a full-time Australian student. However, when I type in my school details, the resulting list contains only schools in the USA. How do I bring up a list of Australian schools (universities)? Have I missed something here? Assistance please.

    Hello again Jeff,
    How do I contact your support team directly? I seem to keep being directed
    back to forums.
    Thanks

  • What happens when I join Creative Cloud years from now?

    Our company has CS6 now and don't feel it's in the books to join Creative Cloud at this point. What happens when we have to join 1 year to 1.5" down the road? Will we have to pay a penalty fee or do we just join at the $69.99/seat team price?

    MAS ART, There is not penalty fees for not joining Creative Cloud subscription. You are free to join it later. Its just that the membership plans may be different then.
