Updating CC desktop app changed location of CC files

Hi, I recently updated the CC desktop app, it would seem yesterday, according to the desktop app itself. Unbeknownst to me, this update reverted the location of my Creative Cloud Files folder, from where I'd set it on my 6TB RAID5 Data HD array, back to the default of C:\Users\Brian A\ on my 500GB SSD system drive. It perturbs me, both that this would happen at all - an update should not change or clear user preferences - and that there was zero notification that this had occurred. If at some point my system drive approaches full between apps and app data, having something like this occur could cause a very large mess. In fact, less than one month ago, the C: drive on my last computer would not have had enough space. I'd no clue this had even happened until I opened preferences in my CC desktop app and noticed under Files, my location began with C:.
Was this a bug? Should I report this somewhere? Is there a way to prevent this from occurring with future updates?
Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge.

Hi,
This is now a known issue with the last update and we are looking into a fix for this.
Thanks
Warner

Error Code 43 while trying to update CC desktop app

Hi there,
I'm getting Error 43 while trying to update CC desktop app. OS is Mavericks 10.9.4. It gets as far as 63% than the following error:
Installer was unable to access a critical file/directory. Please try installing again.(Error code: 43)
Guessing this is a permissions problem, but not sure where to look/start.
Edit to add: I'm on the Free Trial at the moment, if that makes any difference. All applications are working fine, otherwise.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mike

Mike you could try installing under a newly created administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties. You can find more details at Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X.
You can also find additional details by reviewing the error message within your installation log files. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Namespace problem while updating a desktop app

Hello,
I've searched on a lot of forums but didn't find anything accurate on my problem.
I have an old AIR 2.0 desktop app that updated itself.
I want to update it to the last 3.4 framework. So I followed instructions for the intermediate application to update (between 2.0 and 2.5).
I manage to update from 2.0 to a Air 2.5 intermediate application, while still having the 2.0 namespace in the app descriptor file.
But it is impossible for me to update this 2.5 application (with 2.0 namespace) to a 2.5 namespace !!
Here si my update descriptor file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">
           <versionNumber>0.3.2</versionNumber>
           <versionLabel>Version for 0.3.2</versionLabel>
     <url>http://www.mywebsite/app.air</url>
     <description><![CDATA[
Final test
           ]]></description>
</update>
But I'm having the error 16831 : "Application namespace and update.xml namespace are not compatible".
It seems that my application only wants to update to another one with the exact same namespace.
How this can be ?
Thanks !
I must say that I publish to AIR 2.5 with Flash CS5 and flashpro extension for air (in beta version) as Flash CS6 always overwrite the app descriptor while publishing (so it is impossible to change the namespace to 2.0 for example)

Ok, after having searched a lot, I managed to understand what was going on....
To those interested, the update descriptor must stay in a 1.0 namespace until the end of the process.
When all is updated (app namespace to 2.5), you can use the 2.5 update descriptor namespace....

Updated to 10.5.7 via Combo Update, FCSvr Desktop App doesn't open

Last week I updated two Dual G5 2.5's to 10.5.7 via the Combo Update. Upon completion, the Final Cut Server.app desktop application wouldn't open. I tried re-downloading the app from our server, and my machine opened the Final Cut Server.jnlp file in TextEdit as if Java wasn't installed. So I downloaded the Java Update 4 for 10.5 from Apple. Now I can run the Final Cut Server application only if I open the Final Cut Server.jnlp file. I deleted the Final Cut Server.app, and cleared all cache files using Java Preferences in the Utilities folder (I no longer have a Java folder there, just the Java Preferences app) and reinstalled the Final Cut Server.app, so I'd have a fresh app. Still doesn't work. When I double-click it, the icon expands but nothing happens. In my console, I get this message:

I have tried deleting com.apple.java.JavaPreferences.plist and com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist to no avail.
I get the same results on both machines. I have searched and found no answers. Again, if I open the Final Cut Server.jnlp java file itself, it works. It's not a huge deal, but I'd like to fix if possible.

Done. Deleted all files mentioned. Then downloaded and reinstalled the update 4. No change whatsoever.
I really thought this would work though. The Final Cut Server program redownloaded, prompted me to install the desktop app, which I did, and then gave me the initial licensing agreement. Final Cut Server opened, but then when I quit it and tried to open it via the new desktop app, I got this in the console:

The "Main class "com.sun.javaws.Main" not found" is presumably what's causing the problem...

Updating CC Desktop app always gives Error code: A12E1

Ok, this is getting really old. The fifth release of Adobe Cloud desktop app has come out since I purchased CC last December. Every time, the installer fails with error code: A12E1 (see attached). Again, I followed all the instruction regarding renaming the OOBE folder, first as admin user—then as root. The installer always shuts down and crashes the desktop application. I have a MacBook, Intel OS Lion 10.7.5.
Is Adobe ever going to fix this issue? I am tired of re-installing my Adobe Apps and presets every time the desktop app updates.

Hi
Try the steps mentioned in given document :- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/a12e1-error-downloading-creative-cloud.html
Also, share the update on the resolution.

Every time I try to update the creative cloud desktop I lose my taskbar etc - have to restart windows explorer to get that back, but I cannot update the desktop app

Every time I launch the creative cloud desktop app it says I need to update. When I follow the prompts to update I lose my taskbar, etc on my windows 7 machine. I then have to restart windows explorer to get the desktop back, but the app still now says I have to update. Circular problem - please help.

Creative Cloud Desktop App does not upload CERTAIN files

Trying to use the Creative Cloud Desktop app to manage my Adobe Audition Files. The entire folder structure syncs, but individual files keep failing. The desktop app does not show any useful messages, but I found this error in the CoreSync.log file.
ERROR: Copying file: {"cause":"infected_asset","message":"In the file 'Track 1_004.wav' the signature 'null' has been found"}
This same error goes for pretty much all my files. Now if I take the same exact file and use the web uploader, it succeeds with no issues. My other computers will download the file, and my original computer does not download any duplicates. I tried Adobe's support chat but that was a joke. They said there is no technical support for the Cloud Desktop App and that I need to go to the forums.
Anyone have any idea what's causing this error?

Hi Kendr1ck,
I wondered if it was related to the files being used when you were attempting to sync them. Were the files you were having difficult with open in Audition at the time? Do they still fail with Audition closed?
Thanks,
- Dave

Changing Location for Assignment Files

I create lots of InCopy assignments from InDesign. (Using CC for both) For each New Assignment I have to change all the options: "Location for Assignment File", "All Spreads", "Link Image Files when Packaging". Is there a way to set the defaults for these? I waste a lot of time and often make mistakes doing this manually for each new assignment I create.
Thank you.

Thanks,
I figured that out minutes after I posted on this forum.

Change location of sync file outlook

I'd like to change the location of the file that is used by PCsync to synchronize outlook to my 6230i (file: PcSync2.SML.lml)
There are no menu options in pcsync.
regedit finds it at C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Nokia\PCSync\SynchData\\PcSync2.SML.lml
Changes with regedit have no effect: the changed (F0) entry is moved to F1, and a new F0 entry is created again with the -for me unwanted- location "Documents and settings" etc.
I'm running XP service pack 2, pc suite 6.81.13.0

I'm experiencing the same problem. We have just been given new phones, and the sync location is under 'Documents and Settings'on the 'C' drive of the PC.
Local Company policy limits this profile to 30MB and although there is other stuff that I can remove, it took 7MB when first syncing and another 3mb on the 2nd time of syncing.
At this rate, every 7 syncs, I'll have to delete the Nokia folder and start again.
I would like to move it to my personal network drive (f)
Any suggestions would be VERY greatfully received.
Thanks

How to set/change location of DBF files?

Hi,
I would like to connect programatically my report to DBF file and it is needed to specify location of dbf files. Is possible to handle with it? (Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Full version, VS 2008)
Tomas

You will have to set the location for each table. I believe something along these lines:
Dim myreport As New CrystalReport1
' Set the 'Location' property for each table in your database.
myreport.Database.Tables(0).Location = "C:\mydb\table1.dbf"
myreport.Database.Tables(1).Location = "C:\mydb\table2.dbf"

Why do screen updates fail when MacOSX changes location?

With Firefox 4.0, when I change MacOSX system location (host name and IP), the Firefox screen no longer updates. It does appear that link selections are followed. My current work-around is to quit and restart Firefox losing all session state. Changing MacOSX location did not appear to effect Firefox 3.

The issue appears to have been resolved in the production release. Perhaps it was in some way related to the beta feedback plugin.

Place linked, any way to update several layers at once when changing location of source files? (i.e. moving source folder to different location/computer)

I have a PS file whic I wanna use as template for several works. I've got several layers containing external images which have been "placed linked" and which are organised in a single folder in my computer. I believe the links are saved as absolute therefore if I copy the PSD file and the source images folder into a different computer (or even if I move the source folder to a different location in the same computer) all smart objects have to be relinked one by one!!! any way to do it all at once (as I guess it is the case in Premiere and AE) assuming they're all in the same folder???
Also similar question when renaming all source images, any way PS can link to specific file and keep the link even if a name change happens?
If possible it'd be a huge time saver!
Thanks

anyone any help? Thx!

How do I update my desktop app

Ok. So I have a function 'initUpdate'
[code]
public function initUpdate():void {
var appUpdater:ApplicationUpdaterUI = new ApplicationUpdaterUI();
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updateInitialized);
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.CHECK_FOR_UPDATE, checkForUpdate);
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.DOWNLOAD_START, updateDownloadStarted);
appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE, updateDownloadComplete);
appUpdater.configurationFile = new File("app:/updateConfig.xml");
appUpdater.initialize();
trace(appUpdater.configurationFile);
trace(appUpdater.currentVersion);
trace(appUpdater.isUpdateInProgress);
[/code]
I followed all of the instructions.
updateConfig.xml:
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/configuration/1.0">
     <url>http://web/address/to/updateDescriptor.2.5.xml</url>
    <delay>1</delay>
</configuration>
[/code]
updateDescriptor.2.5.xml:
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">
       <versionNumber>1.1</versionNumber>
       <url>https://web/address/to/myApp.air</url>
       <description>This is the latest version of the Sample application.</description>
</update>
[/code]
I packaged this app, then installed it on my computer.
then I created another app then increased the version number in 'application.xml'
I packaged the app and put it on the web 'https://web/address/to/myApp.air'
I opened the app that I had installed previously and did not receive any update prompt.
did I miss something?
from:
[code]
public function updateInitialized(ue:UpdateEvent):void {
trace('update initialized');
public function checkForUpdate(ue:UpdateEvent):void {
trace('check for update');
public function updateDownloadStarted(ue:UpdateEvent):void {
trace('update download started');
public function updateDownloadComplete(ue:UpdateEvent):void {
trace('update download complete');
[/code]
the only output I get is 'update initialized'. nothing else.
I am using the air 14 sdk.

You do not state which os you have installed. You would be better off posting in the forum area of the os that you currently have installed on your computer.

My bookmark in Maps App changed location when I searched

I had a bookmark in the Maps app for my place of residence. I clicked "directions." It showed "Current Location" as the default "start" point. In the destination box began to type in the name of my home address bookmark, which appeared. When I confirmed I wanted directions, it reset my home bookmark to the location where I was sitting and gave me directions to go just a few feet. Has anyone else experienced this very frustrating situation?

Just what happenede when you signed out and signed back in in Settings>iTunes and App Store? What does "fail" mean?
