Turning the taskbar Creative Cloud icon into an app launcher

As everyone knows, the Adobe Creative Cloud app manager icon in the taskbar notifies us when there are updates to the individual apps such as Photoshop or Illustrator.  I would suggest that when you click on the icon and it shows the components installed, you should be able to launch the installed app by clicking on the graphic symbol next to the name.  I feel this would make access to the Adobe products installed on the PC much easier and it would give the taskbar app manager icon a greater purpose for being in the notification area.  This way I would not have to create my own toolbar to launch the apps.  Thoughts?

Hi CreatechServices,
Thanks for your valuable feedback.
Will keep this as a feature request from your end for the future releases of Creative Cloud desktop app.
Cheers!

  • Duplicate Creative Cloud icons in Mac OS X toolbar, how to remove?

    Does anyone know how to remove the old Creative Cloud icon from the Mac menubar? Both are there for some reason. The one on the left is a previous design version but if you click update goes to the latest one which is on the right. Couldn't find any solution from Google or searching here.

    Follow the instructions below to remove.
    I launched Photoshop and chose Help>Updates. This launched the AAM application. Then I clicked Preferences and turned off the option to display updates in the menu bar.
    Old updater shows one update, Creative Cloud none

    I have the latest Creative Cloud versions of Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile on my Ipad. On my desktop I have created a collection which I have put in a custom order. On my Ipad I go into that collection and set the order to custom order, which I presume means the order I have on my desktop. However, the photos on the Ipad seem to be just random photos from the collection THEN the rest of the collection is in the correct order after that.

    Do you have virtual copies in your collection?
    Could you please send send me a LR Desktop +Mobile diagnostig log  - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link

    The Lr Mobile app log can be triggered when you open up the settings and long press the to LR Icon a diagnostic log will be generated and attached to your local mail client. While opening the settings could you double check if you are signed-in?

  • I have downloaded creative cloud but I do not have the creative cloud icon on my computer?

    I have a membership to Adobe and have access to all the CC programs through the Icon "Adobe Application Manager". But I do not have a Creative Cloud icon in my applications? I also cannot sync fonts from Typekit as it says "Desktop font sync is not available on this operating system or device". When I click on the "learn more" it says the program only runs on "OS X 10.7 and higher", even though my computer is up to date. I can access all my creative cloud programs,  Photoshop / Illustrator / Indesign etc... Which confuses me as to why it is saying I cannot sync fonts as Typekit/Creative Cloud will not operate on any systerm lower then OS X 10.7..
    Ahg, confused. Help!

    I have Lightroom 6 (not CC) on a Windows machine.  I'm prompted to log into Creative Cloud when I restart my computer (I don't have, use, or pay for Creative Cloud), and then when I launch Lightroom, it tells me to use the application I have to log into my Adobe account...AGAIN!  And then to further add insult to injury, I'm prompted to enter in the license number of my product.  I've gone through this process a dozen times now...SCREAM!!!

    Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have?  You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.

  • My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open.

    My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.

    Click on below link :
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
    (Applies for Yosemite as well)
    How to log in as root
    Use these steps in Snow Leopard and later to log in as the root user.
    If you are logged in, choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    If you are logging in from a list of usernames with pictures, click Other.
    In the Name field, type: root
    In the Password field, type the password you defined when setting up the root user account.

  • My creative cloud icon has gone from the menu bar on top right hand side of screen

    the creative cloud icon is gone from the menu bar?  How can I get it back?

    Sometimes too many open apps will hide it, but if it closed,
    Restart the Creative Cloud app. Look for it in Spotlight.

    Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
    I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password.  It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

  • Premiere Pro is not interpreting transparency correctly with the Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447 update

    Yesterday, I updated to Adobe Creative Cloud 1.8.0.447. I found that after the update, both Premiere Pro CC (2014) and Premiere Pro CC are not ready transparency layers and alpha layers correctly. I have some lower third logos that I use on multiple projects and they are showing up more opaque than they should. Additionally, I have an export preset that uses a watermark. This watermark is showing up more opaque than it should too. I have checked both graphics in After Effects with the new Creative Cloud update and all graphics look fine. It seems to be an issue that is isolated in Premiere. The issue only happens when there is a video layer underneath the graphics. When the graphics are viewed with no video layer underneath, the transparency looks as it should. I have attached a few images showing the problems. They show graphics with and without video layers beneath.

    I was able to resolve the issue by going into File>Project Settings>General and changing the Render from GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) to Software Only. It appears there is an issue with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics card. I was told by a call tech at Adobe that there are issues with the D300, D500, and D700 Graphics cards. However, I have an Intel Iris graphics card on my MacBook Pro and was having the same transparency issue. So, I'm skeptical that the issue is just with the graphics card. The transparency issue did not start on BOTH computers until the latest CC upgrade. For now, the Software Only renderer option fixes the issue. I hope to see a fix in the next CC update. FYI: The Renderer needs to be changed to Software Only in both Premiere Pro Project Settings and Media Encoder Preferences.

    I am seriously thinking about moving to the adobe Creative Cloud. My concern is that if my design business runs into hardship and I can no longer afford the monthly payments, what happens to my software and existing files?

    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    "If I decide to stop my membership, will I still be able to use my Creative Suite software and the other components of Creative Cloud?
    When you cancel a month-to-month or annual membership purchased directly from Adobe or let a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased from a retailer expire, you will no longer have access to the Creative Suite applications, other desktop software, and services that are components of Creative Cloud. However, if you saved your work to your computer, you will continue to have access to those files. You will also have access to the same benefits as a free Creative Cloud member, which include 2GB of storage space (reduced from 20GB), the ability to sync and store your files, access to a free 30-day trial of the desktop software that has not already been installed and provisioned as part of your paid membership, and access to the free level of services included with Creative Cloud."
    Having said that, if you  maintain a perpetual license, you will have to comply with the new Adobe one-version-back upgrade policy.
    So when CS7 is released, you must upgrade in order to qualify for upgrade pricing for CS8. Likewise when CS8 is released, you must upgrade in order to qualify for upgrade pricing for CS9.
    There is of course nothing mandatory about upgrading but bear in  mind that you can no longer skip a couple of versions and get up to date every 5 years or so at upgrade pricing. You'd have to pay full price for the new suite all over again.
    So it's a matter of costing the various options out over a 3 or even 5 year period and budgeting for it.
    If you're running a design business, you perhaps also need to consider whether the Adobe software design tools are mission critical or not. Will your other expenses exceed the US$600/year required for the Cloud?
