So sick of this - Creative Cloud in OSX Mission Control

I'd like to summarize this problem briefly, and only briefly because I know adobe is already "aware of this issue and working on fixing it" (Adobe 2013) because of tons of other posts about this. You see, I am, like many other poor, tortured human beings, subscribed to the Creative Cloud service. One of the many problems with that is, when I switch desktops on my mac, the creative cloud window pops up. In addition, it shows up in my Mission Control even though its not even open or a traditional application in the first place. This wouldn't be a huge problem if not for 2 reasons.
A. This is a small issue that is EASILY fixable for Adobe that affects me constantly
B. I pay $50 a month for this.
Also, I know about the tweak where you switch it to windowed mode, which is just as bad because it shows up in my dock for some reason and even forgets that I've switched to windowed mode. I'd like to mention also that this is not strictly speaking, an error. This happens on EVERY Mac that has Creative Cloud installed as far as I can tell. It has happened since I first downloaded the software OVER A YEAR AGO. I mean there are posts dating back to 2013 by Adobe employees saying they're going to fix this.
I just think it's weird how I bought an app for a dollar the other day that gives me system stats from the menu bar, and it has exactly none of these problems, yet I give you people $50 a month and I can't expect a fraction of the quality.
TLDR: I'm considering admitting myself because I've been having thoughts of switching to Inkscape.

I may have not read your post correctly. In the pinned mode, the CC Desktop window does not show up when I switch workspaces, and it does not show up in Mission Control, at least not on my Macbook (10.9.5) Might act differently in your setup.
I would suggest quitting the CC app until you need it, but you might be using your Typekit, Portfolio and Storage and can't simply exit.
However clicking on the CC Cloud Storage icon in your Finder will bring it back up instantly.
Sorry. For a second, I thought I had a workaround.

Creative Cloud has Hijacked Mission Control.

I'm running OSX 10.9.4 and have the latest Adobe Creative Cloud software installed. I recently noticed that Mission Control shows no open applications in the desktops displayed there. The current desktop (the largest one shown) says Creative Cloud on it. It's as though Creative Cloud has hijacked Mission Control. Perhaps a preference file has become corrupted. I removed "com.apple.spaces" to no effect.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The Creative Cloud label does disappear from the larger desktop in Mission Control. After posting this problem, I installed the 10.9.4 Combo updater but that didn't help.

Photoshop and OSX Mission Control bug

Hi, i'm using Photoshop CS6 (13.1.2) from Creative Cloud subscription.
I'm working on a Retina Macobook Pro with OSX 10.8.3 and i'm working with different desktops using OSX Mission Control feature to switch between desktops.
The problem that i encounter is that when i switch from the desktop where Photoshop is opened to another desktop, and then i return to the desktop where is opened Photoshop, well i can't no more use the keyboard shortcuts to change the tools, like switching from (M) Marquee tool to (V) Move Tool.
It's a bug that will be solved in a next update or i'm doing something wrong?
Thank you!

I'll try some tests, anyway sometimes it respond and sometimes not.
One thing i'm sure: when not responding, i try to click on the Photoshop interface and then i try some keystroke, but it still not respond to keystrokes.
I'll let you know as soon as possibile.

Downloading adobe creative cloud on OSX 10.9

I have a new Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9 and cannot download Adobe products from their Creative Cloud. Keep getting error "Creative Cloud Installer" cant be opened because it is not downloaded from the Mac App Store. Any suggestions? Adobe doesn't have a clue!

It looks like your current Security settings are set to only allow applications to be downloaded ftom the Mac App Store. To change your settings to allow you to download and install applications from anywhere (just be careful!) all you need to do is go to System Preferences->Security & Privacy-> and then you'll see in the bottom half of the window an option of where your Mac is allowed to download applications from. I'm running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 and my screen looks like this, I expect 10.9 Mavericks to have a similar option, just select the option 'Anywhere' and you should be good to go with your Adobe CC applications. Hope this helps.

How Does One Update Lightroom to 4.3 if in this Creative Cloud Hell???

Trying to update to 4.3 from 4.1 -- Checked the application manager - no updates to 4.1. Went through the program - update lightroom - downloaded 4.3 and it installed as a separate program without deleting 4.1. Now it asks for a serial number. Creative cloud members don't get serial numbers.
Here's my chat transcript with adobe's terrible, hellacious, moronic, and incompetent support person:
Ashish: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Ashish: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
Laura: <Removed by Moderator>
Ashish: Thank you for the information. Please allow me a moment while I locate your account.
Ashish:
Laura: I have re-installed the application manager, but the lightroom available for download on the list is once again Lightroom 4.1
Laura: Is there a proper technique to update?
Ashish: Please provide me the serial number of your product.
Laura: How do I get a serial number????
Laura: I joined creative cloud and no serial numbers are provided.
Laura: If I had a serial number, I wouldn't need help.
Laura: In my account, there are no serial numbers.
Laura: to download and install programs, I must use the application manager (apparently)
Ashish: Please allow me moment.
Laura: When I try to update Lightroom 4.1 to Lightroom 4.3, the program directs me to dowload lighroom 4.3
Ashish: okay
Laura: When I installed Lightroom 4.3 it does not uninstall 4.1, but is does install as a separate program and then asks me for a serial #.
Ashish: You have install it directly you cant upgrade lightroom.
Laura: Ok, but when I do - it asks me for a serial number.
Laura: Adobe does not make serial numbers available to creative cloud members.
Laura: I am in my account searching and cannot find serial numbers anywhere.
Ashish: Yes
Laura: So my question is - How is a member of creative cloud supposed to properly update applications.
Laura: ????
Laura: yes what?
Ashish: I'll be right with you.
Ashish: Sorry Laura, you have to contact on after 24 hours.our tool is not working.
Ashish: We are facing technical problem is our tool today.
Laura: What tool? How do I properly update this program? What is the procedure? I should be able to do it without customer service.
Ashish: You can contact after 24 hours.
Ashish: We will resolve
Laura: WHAT IS THE NORMAL PROCEDURE TO UPDATE PROGRAMS?
Laura: THAT IS THE ONLY THING i WANT ANSWERED
Ashish: First when i have track your product states then i will give you answer You have to install it in your machine.
Laura: That sentance makes no sense. Are normal updates through the application manager or will a serial number be provided?
Ashish: But you are facing problem so please contact after 24 hours.
Laura: IF you are having trouble with english, please transfer me to someone else. You do not understand my questions.
Laura: THis is a simple question with a simple answer.
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [email protected] at the end of your chat.
Ashish: I am understand everything but without checking of your product how could i answer your question.
Ashish: Yes, if you have normal product then serial is provided by us.
Ashish: And a serial number is a licensing key of the product.
Laura: I am a member of ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD, with access to all the programs. HOW DOES A MEMBER OF CREATIVE CLOUD UPDATE PROGRAMS, and ARE SERIAL NUMBERS AVAILABLE to MEMBERS OF CREATIVE CLOUD? WHERE IN MY ACCOUNT IS MY SERIAL NUMBER?
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to <Removed by Moderator> at the end of your chat.
Laura: I am logged into my creative cloud account now. Where is my serial number located???
Laura: I see no serial numbers.
Ashish: You have to go adobe.com and sign in your adobe id. and go to my product and service and go to my product then you will get the serial number of your product.
Laura: I am there, there are no products listed. There is only the creative cloud service. NO SERIAL NUMBERS.
Laura: Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (one-year)
Ashish: If you are not able to find it then give me the order number of your product.
Laura: that is what I purchased.
Laura: Order: DSS--------------------
Ashish: Please provide me the order number of your product.
Laura: Order: DSS---------------
Ashish: Thank you For give the information
Laura: All you need to tell me is how to PROPERLY UPDATE MY PROGRAM AND WHERE I CAN FIND A SERIAL NUMBER.
Ashish: Please allow me a moment.
Laura: You shouldn't need order info for this because the procedure should be the EXACT same for any customer with a creative cloud membership.
Ashish: I am checking your order states.
Ashish: Sorry, i need the order number without it i am not able to find anything for your product.
Ashish: Please allow me a moment.
Laura: I gave you my order number twice already.
Ashish: Yes, i have but i am answering your question.
Laura: My question is a matter of the proper way to update Lightroom in a creative cloud membership. It is a stand alone question that should be answerable without any knowledge other than knowing how YOUR OWN PRODUCT operates. HOW DO I UPDATE LIGHTROOM 4.1 to LIGHTROOM 4.3???
Ashish: You have to adobe voice support for this issue.
Ashish: You have to contact 18008336687

Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom? The update should be using the same licensing? Did you perhaps customize the installation location? Finally which operating system are you using?

I had bought creative cloud cs6 2013, but my adobe will not convert my papers into a pdf, It is asking me to buy into it. I thought all the adobe series came with this creative cloud package?

I need some assistance with my Adobe. It is asking me to upgrade and purchase, when this has never happened to me before. I am taking classes through the art institute and the only way to submit my papers are in a pdf. I had paid with my school money for a 3 yr subscription to Creative cloud cs6, and I can not use it. And on top of that, I had to uninstall, and reinstall 3x onto my new hard drive, because the old computer crashed in Aug 2014. Please help. I miss talking to someone over the phone with me to walk me through this.

Adobe is a company... do you mean Acrobat?
>subscription to Creative cloud cs6
Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page
If yes
Some general information for a Cloud subscription
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

How do I view creative cloud desktop (osx 10.7.5)

I've launched the creative cloud app ... but it does not show up in my toolbar, nor is it displayed in my "running applications"
How do I view it ?

Hi timjohnson2013,
Please Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/Core and look for Pdapp and launch it to see whether CC desktop comes up. If still the same issue try to create a new user account and launch CC desktop from Applications.

Sick Of This - Creative Zen Vision:M isn't recognized by SO

Hi everyone,
My PC doesn't recognice my Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB, it used to show my mp3 player as connected before, but since last week neither my PC nor the Creative Media Explorer can't connect to the player.
I have reverted the Microsoft Windows Media Player to the v0.
My SO is XP SP3.
I already have installed the Creative Media Source.
I couldn't get into "reboot mode" on my mp3 player 'cause it has run out of battery.
Thanks in advance.

Zen Vision M 309Well, I had my zen for going on 3 years...Strangest things is that it will not turn on at all.. I tried all the online documents
-Resetting it with the USB (nothing plugged in , using the back ports)<-- in which my computer does not recognize the device even if i change to another computer or another USB port; i even purchased another USB cord and same results
- I bought a wall charger (left it plugged in overnight); nothing i only see the CREATIVE screen that displays, doesn't respond to any buttons I push
Same two?effects will wall charging/ computer charging
-When plugged into computer or wall sometimes it will show the CREATIVE screen, or sometimes it will show a blinking light above where the power is...
I tried also to reset it while it powers on and it doesn't do anything
When trying to update the firmware, a message says that the device is not connected when it is..
This is becoming expensi've, and i cannot find my receipt to even get a warranty,,, please help

Vanishing Photoshop in Creative Cloud

Hi, am running a Mac Pro on OSX 10.9.2 and totally bemused by this creative cloud concept. Creative Cloud indicates that Photoshop CC has been downloaded. Have looked in Apps but all other Adobe CC products present but no Photoshop. Please advise.

Hi wjtcastell,
Please follow the steps, Go>> Utilities>> Adobe installers>> Photoshop uninstaller will be listed there, please run it and uninstall the Photoshop.
Once uninstalled, simply open Adobe creative cloud and download Photoshop CC.
