Question

When will CC Sync be working, having we waited long enough?

Answer 1

creative.adobe.com appears to be an alias for something in Amazon’s Web Services cloud.  Ping is a useful tool to see what actual Amazon server the creative.adobe.com is using.
Here is what I do on my Windows computer:
Start / All Programs / Accessories / Command Prompt  OR you can just type cmd in the Run area in the Start menu.
A black window with white text should open, and at the C:\> prompt type:
C:\> ping creative.adobe.com (enter-key)
On my computer I see the following:
C:\>ping creative.adobe.com
Pinging production-us-1147131027.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com 23.23.208.194 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 23.23.208.194:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
The important thing is the name and the IP-address on the very first Pinging-whatever line.  The timed-out and 100% loss are expected because the servers are behind a firewall that doesn’t allow pinging, but keep track of what different IP-addresses are shown.  I have done this several times in a row and one time I got 54.255.242.223 for the IP address while the other 5 times I got what you see, above: 23.23.208.194.
What you want to do is whenever it does actually work in IE or FF, quickly go to a command-prompt and do a ping creative.adobe.com and write down the ip-address—the four numbers with periods between.
Then you can use notepad to edit your hosts file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and add a line at the bottom that looks like:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx creative.adobe.com
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the set of four numbers you saw when it worked.
Save the hosts file and see if it still continues to work.  If not then edit the hosts file, again, and put a # (pound) sign in front of the line—which disabled that mapping, but you’ll know you’ve tried it and it didn’t work, like so:
#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx creative.adobe.com
What the line in the hosts file without # will do is tell your computer to always use the particular IP address when it goes to creative.adobe.com
If at some point after you've done thing creative.adobe.com stops working, again, then edit your hosts file and add a # in front of the one line with creative.adobe.com that doesn't have it to disable the ip address mapping and see if things work ok without it.  The issue seems like an internet problem or internet-security-on-your-computer problem not specifically an Adobe problem.
