Questions

Many companies are launching OTT and live streaming platforms for entertainment, education, and events. What Adobe tools or integrations can help optimize video delivery, streaming performance, and user experience? Are there recommended workflows or Adobe solutions for managing high-quality video streaming platforms?

I have been trying to access my Photoshop Plugins drop down menu for some time. It is currently Grayed out and un-clickable. I was able to add a couple plugins into the CC interface one by directly having a file, and the other from the Exchange - both say they are good to go for Photoshop, but are un-accessible. Another note, when I go to the ‘Plugins’ section of CC marketplace, nothing else shows up besides the couple plugins I installed. I have recently clean re-installed everything - Most recently uninstalled every Adobe program and CC to reinstall them again. I have tried signing out and back in again and the problem persists. I have read elsewhere that if the Users folder has moved it could create a problem, but I think that has stayed put.I have found two different "Plugins" folders on my PC.Program Files - Common Files - Adobe - Plugins - CC (where this is supposed to be installed, and there is nothing but some file formats)The other place,Program Files - Adobe - Photoshop - Plu

Dear all,I am running macOS 26.4 on an Apple Silicon Mac.A few minutes ago, I launched the proposed updates to Photoshop & Bridge through the Creative Cloud app. I then moved to other apps, confident it could complete this in the background.At a certain point (progress 46% in Photoshop, Bridge waiting in queue), I got a notification from macOS with the icon of the white raised hand saying something like (translating from Italian) “Creative Cloud has been prevented from making edits on the Mac”.A small “Show” button was available in the notification. I tapped on it, confident that it would open System Settings > Privacy and Security, but it did not. I then went manually into there and found nothing (there usually is an alert of some kind towards the bottom of the page where the user can authorise specific apps).The update, in any case, stalled as it was clearly looking for some kind of permission. What should I do now? I sincerely hope that Adobe is not expecting users to give th

Hello, I have no more access to the apps in my creative cloud desktop.Creative cloud desktop says me (see screenshot) : "You do not have access to application management features. To manage applications, authorization from your IT administrator may be required."Have you a solution in order to have access to the apps in the creative cloud desktop ?  

My adobe creative cloud does’t show the beta tab. Although I reupdated the cloud version and delete cache.  What should I do to install photoshop beta?  

This has happened a few times and it usually fixes itself, but this time it seems to be stuck. I've tried repairing, reinstalling, but nothing fixes it. The window for the Creative Cloud app is offset and I can't get to the right side of the view.

Bonjour, je travaille sur mac os et depuis plusieurs mois, mes applications ADOBE disparaissent en arrière plan quans je les déplace.

Hi first time posting,  I wasn't sure where to direct this problem or what community discussion to put into.A week ago this started happening to my Creative Cloud Software.This problem is mostly present in CC and Premiere.PremiereThe timeline is glitching and won't play forward despite the video preview working. But can be previewed normally once the timeline in the Preview window is manipulated. Though, other software like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat are okay.Resolutions done:Repair CC.Fresh Reinstalls for all Adobe Software.PC Load testedChange Interface Colors.By any chance has anyone experienced this? Thanks in advance, and apologies again if this isn't the right forum to post into

Once I process all of my photos, my workflow is to delete all of the “rejects” and then rename the remaining photos sequentially.  I use the following workflowSelect all photos Library | Rename Photos File Naming: Custom Settings Edit… [Custom Text] - [Sequence # (0001)] Custom Text: “DATE EVENT LOCATION” Start Number: 1 [OK] Expected Result All files are renamed like “DATE EVENT LOCATION - 0001.cr2”, “DATE EVENT LOCATION - 0002.cr2”, ... Actual Result Most file are properly renamed About 20 out of 4,000 photos from a particular shoot will be renamed (for a reason I don’t understand, hence the bug report) with a post-pended “-2” “DATE EVENT LOCATION - 0700.cr2” “DATE EVENT LOCATION - 0701-2.cr2”    <--- unexpected result “DATE EVENT LOCATION - 0702.cr2” This is on a MacBook Pro M4 Max (stock with 4 TB internal) running Tahoe 28.3.1(a) on Lightroom Classic 15.2.1.  This appears less professional than I would like and makes it seem as if there is a “original” v

was trying to save my adobe animate file to creative cloud with no success. tried putting it in my creative cloud folder and it said .fla wasn’t supported? really need to be able to work on this on multiple computers -- any help appreciated!!

I am writing to address Adobe’s recent policy change regarding the Creative Cloud individual subscription, which now limits access to a single device at a time. This change is disruptive, deceptive, and blatantly exploitative.What HappenedFrom Adobe’s chat support:“After the update, the individual subscription can only be used on a single device at a time. Individual subscription is for personal use for the users. To access the subscription on multiple devices at the same time, we have Teams subscriptions.”For years, individual subscriptions allowed users to work on up to two devices simultaneously—a feature many of us relied on for our workflows. This update removes that ability, with no prior warning, and pushes users toward the more expensive Teams subscription.Why This Change is UnacceptableContradicts Adobe’s Past PoliciesAdobe has long marketed individual subscriptions with the ability to install and work on two devices simultaneously. Here’s a quote from previous policy document

Updated to latest software but still wont open.

Die Creative Cloud App. schein heute automatisch aktualisiert worden zu sein (Erstellungsdatum und Änderungsdatum von heute). Auf Grund des Intel Prozessors ist kein Update auf ein neueres Betriebssystem möglich. 

I no longer have access to my old iMac from which my new MacBook was loaded by the Apple migration process.  After getting Error 42 on the MacBook, I tried uninstalling Creative Cloud, but then I get an Error 1.  Apparently it wants me to uninstall all the Adobe apps on my system (Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, etc)?  Those apps seem to be working.  My Lightroom Classic catalog and photos are on an external HDD.  Can you please describe the process for getting CC back?  Thanks. Bob

i really hate the fact that creative cloud always runs on my pc, even when i turn everything off

Hi everyone,I’m using a Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with Snapdragon X Elite (Windows 11 ARM 64-bit) and I’ve been running Adobe Creative Cloud, Photoshop, Illustrator (beta), and Lightroom without any issues until last week.Since a recent Windows update or possibly an Adobe update, none of the apps will launch anymore – not even the Creative Cloud Desktop app itself.When I try to start Creative Cloud (or Photoshop), I immediately get the following error message:“The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.”Here’s what I’ve already tried – unfortunately without success:Completely removed all Adobe components using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (option 1 = “Clean All”)Restarted the systemVerified that the correct Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable (ARM64) is installed (and removed all x64/x86 versions)Ran sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to check system filesRe-downloaded the Creative Cloud installer and

Creative Cloud 6.8.1.861 under macOS 26.3.1: empty folders named ngl keep being created in /Users/Shared, typically within a day after I delete their predecessor.  Is there a way to keep this from happening?I asked this question in an Apple macOS forum, and was told that it was related to Adobe Creative Cloud Next Generation Licensing.  Can anyone here (or Adobe) help?  Again, is there a way to keep this from happening?

 How do I delete the automatic generated “AI generated content” comments in Adobe Acrobat that pop up when make “print” PDFs. The content comments AI makes is horrible! 

I was having a persistent error in Creative Cloud Desktop "Libraries Sync Error. A problem occurred. Your library has been refreshed." I think the error was due to a corrupted file in my library. After trying a whole bunch of stuff I finally found a fix that worked. Note: This resets your libraries to their default empty state so you'll need to rebuild your libraries.1. Quit the Adobe Creative Cloud application2. Go into Task Manager/Activity Monitor and quit any processes that belong to Creative Cloud (not sure if this is entirely necessary but it doesn't hurt.)3. Go to the location of the library files:Win - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Creative Cloud LibrariesMac - /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Creative Cloud Libraries4. Drag all of the files out of this folder to somewhere else on your drive5. Restart computer and Creative Cloud Desktop 

With real estate agents wanting options to virtually add furniture  / clean up clutter with AI, change sky colors, etc, etc, what is everyone using ? A stand alone program / app or is there any that works with  / in Photoshop? 

This is something that is really annoying me. Photoshop is now sending me update prompts on my desktop. Even when I close the lightbox window it reappears every day or two. I've tried quitting Photoshop and Creative Cloud and updating my notification preferences on Creative Cloud, yet it continues to appear at the bottom right-hand side of my desktop. It's not even set up in my System Settings notifications so how and why are you doing this? How do I switch it off and, if I can't, please can Adobe switch it off? I don't need further prompts from you suggesting I update my apps - I can see them in Creative Cloud and will decide when I update when I'm good and ready. I'm unhappy that you even have the ability to do this on my desktop. I didn't choose to receive these notifications so please advise on how I remove them or remove completely - you're populating my work screen with unecessary information. The fact the window is still active when I have quite both CC and Photoshop i

I was really confused about my CPU fans working all the time even when the system is ideling, with no apps running (Win 11) I checked the taskmanager and there is a task running with the name of “node.exe”. if I close that task, the peaks of my CPU immediately come down and the system gets quiet… until some seconds later the task is started again and leads to performance peaks in the first 4 Cores of the CPU.The node.exe is located in this folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\libsI just moved it to somewhere else, so it couldn’t restart and voilá, when I kill the task once again, the system stays quiet. the red line marks the time I shut down the node.exe taskGuys, I have this with my home machine, and the PC at work. If this is common for all CC users, it’s a severe waste of energy and maybe CPU lifetime.If the Creative Cloud App is running, there is another node.exe running, located here:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Creative Cloud Libraries\libsBut th

Hello,I am having an issue launching several Adobe applications on my Dell laptop. When I attempt to open InDesign, Illustrator, or Lightroom, the application briefly appears in Task Manager, but the status shows “Suspended.” The CPU stays at 0%, memory briefly goes to about 0.1 MB, and then the process disappears. The application never opens.This issue started after a recent February Adobe update. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Restarted my computer Ended Adobe background processes in Task Manager Signed out and back into Creative Cloud Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign Attempted to reset preferences on launch None of these steps resolved the issue.Could you please advise on what may be causing these applications to fail at launch and how to fix it?Thank you.
