Using Creative Cloud 2014 apps, but Creative Cloud 2014 desktop app never installed.

I have been trying to solve this issue for months now. When I installed the 2014 update for Creative Cloud, my CC desktop app disappeared (the app that shows you updates and is a shortcut to all apps, etc). Now, applying updates and getting fonts is a real pain. Also, when I installed the 2014 update, instead of overwriting my current apps like it always had, it installed the 2014 ones and kept the old versions. This caused many issues when I uninstalled the old versions. However, I never uninstalled the desktop app, it just disappeared during the install of 2014. Is there any way to solve this issue besides uninstalled and re-installing all the apps? If that is the only solution, will is cause any issues with documents I am currently working on?

Hi Srezler,
Adobe CC-2014 is not an update but new version of the products that we offer to our customers that is the reason why it never deleted the older versions for you. While doing the update, Creative Cloud Desktop was never supposed to be removed from the machine and it seems like that it got removed may be because of corrupt installation ( Could be because of download corruption).
I suggest lets follow the below steps and suggest if this worked for you or not and accordingly we can proceed further.
1) Perform an uninstallation fo CC Desktop application if it is available in the Control Panel ( Utilities > Adobe Installers for MAC).
2) Navigate to the following locations and Rename OOBE to OOBE_old.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE ( /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE for MAC )
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE for MAC).
Post doing the above steps, please use the below link for installation of Creative Cloud Desktop application.

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

My MP990 will scan using my Win 7 laptop but not with my XP desktop

I have been running my MP990 using a WiFi connection. I had to replace the printer with another MP990. I can still use the scanner function using the Win 7 laptop but not on the desktop XP. With XP, I get the following message:
Cannot comunicate with scanner for these reasons:
- Scanner is turned off
- Scanner is disconnected
(It is disconnected from LAN, if using on LAN)
Please check and try again
Scanner Driver will be closed
Code:5,145,55
Since it will scan using the Win 7 "Windows Fax and Scan" but will not work on the desktop XP, I suspect I need to re-install the software. I don't have the orifinal disk but I did download a couple of files: MP990soswin100us.exe or mpnx_3_0-win-3_05-ej-exe
Can I just run one of the above .exe files to take care of my problem?

Hi gooch,
I recommend installing both of the files you mentioned as one is the driver and the other is MP Navigator. The driver will get the basic files installed, but the MP Navigator gives you an easy to use interface to power the scanner.

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

Is possible to use Creative Cloud apps in 3 machines?

I know you can use Adobe Creative Cloud in 2 devices. But if I have this 3 machines:
My iMac - Photoshop and DreamWeaver
My MBA 1 - DreamWeaver
My wife's MBA 2 - Photoshop
Can I use a single Creative Cloud license to work in that way or should I purchase 2 licenses?
Thanks,

Additionally, you cannot use different programs of the suite at the same time by the same user on different computers.
I've always understood that to be true for Creative Suites.
But for Cloud apps I understand that the same user can install and use any Cloud apps on two computers (Mac and/or Windows) at the same time.

Update of illustrator cc 2014 using Creative Cloud for desktop fails permanently.

Hello,
I am trying to update the illustrator cc 2014 using Creative Cloud for desktop. The download fails due to error -60.
Yesterday I spent few hours on chat with a support repesentative, who directed me to ask ISP for download file size limitation. The ISP responded that there are no limitations of download file at all.
Any help with direct download instead of the desktop is appreciated.
Best regards,
Izidor

No you have not lost your work. You can still open the old project in CC. Providing you did not overwrite. CC14 project should read Projectname-1. Otherwise try an auto save.
Try this:
Error "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened"

I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

[ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
Adobe Media Encoder was the problem for me. There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update as the only change). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.
