At the moment I have the same challenge, I am not able to create a new file in XD. As you can see on the screenshot there is a grey box behind the word Home. When I put my cursor above it, the little hand appears, but nothing happened. I followed all wise advice as written above and perform them all, but still I am not able to create the new file. I re-installed the Creative Cloud app, I re-installed XD, I restarted my iMac but still no possibility to create a new file. Hope someone can help me as I am in middle of a XD course.

Hi Jaden,

I am sorry to hear you ran into trouble while opening XD. For few customers, the issue got fixed after trying these solutions-

1. Formatting hard disk and reinstalling BigSur.

2. Uninstall XD, Close Adobe tasks, Delete all XD related files, Reinstall, create a new profile then it worked.

If you still face issues after trying any of the above solutions, please share the details asked below to investigate the issue.

Please generate the logs using this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html
Once the logs are generated, please upload them to a shared location such as Creative Cloud or Dropbox and share the URL with me over a private message.
Share the OS and XD versions of your machine and approximate local date and time it happened.

We will try our best to help.

Note: Please add the URL of the post over a PM for reference.

Thanks,

Harshika

Bonjour,

Lorsque je crée un nouveau document sur Adobe XD, la page d'accueil est vide.

J'ai déjà essayer de réinstaller Adobe XD, mais le problème persiste.

Que dois-je faire ?

Merci pour votre aide

----------------------------------------------

When I create a new document on Adobe XD, the home page is blank.

I have already tried to reinstall Adobe XD, but the problem persists.

What should I do ?

Thanks for your help

Hi

I'm using a mid 2010 mac mini running mojave and have installed adobe XD. Adobe XD opens just fine and at normal speed and works pretty well. But when I try to do a project, the artboard or canvas aren't showing. I don't know why, but it doesn't show. I tried searching for answers and someone had said to try gfxcardstatus to switch to integrated, but it shows that there isn't dual gpu in my machine. Someone pls help!

I have attached the specs, the error along with adobe XD screenshot. Please help

Hi Prithvi,

We are sorry for the delay in response. Would you mind sharing the version of XD you are using? Have you tried signing out of XD, Creative Cloud Desktop top, restart the machine and then sign back in?

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Harshika,

I am currently using the latest version of Adobe XD that is 38.0.12.13 (starter), creative cloud sync 4.9.0.19. I had tried signing out of both Adobe XD na creative cloud and signing back in, reinstalling Adobe XD and creative cloud, but the problem doesn't seem to go. But when I boot my mac in safe mode, it seems to work fine and art boards are visible. I'd like to know the solution for this.

Thank you,

Prithvi

I have recently switched to a new Macbook Pro with M1 Chip. However, I have trouble opening Adobe XD. Every time I open it, I am stuck on this loading screen:

I tried right-clicking on the icon and opening recent files. Only a few files loaded and others did not. I also cannot create any new files because I would get stuck in the loading screen.

I have also tried:

- Restarting laptop

- Uninstalling and reinstalling the app

So far nothing worked for me. I have googled around but I don't see many people having this issue. Right now I have to switch back and forth between laptops and it would be a great help if there is a way to fix this.

Hi,

I am unable to create any new projects in Adobe XD. Neither Command+N or File > New work - nothing launches at all (no new XD windows or error messages). Launching XD shows a blank screen for Home, as the attached screenshot demonstrate.

XD Version: 37.1.32.2

macOS version: 10.15.6 (Catalina)

I can open other projects and work with them, but I can’t create a new project.

Hi, what version of Adobe XD are you using? Have you checked for updates for the Creative Cloud app?

The fact that it is installed on a computer with an M1 processor shouldn't cause any problems, as the software is emulated with Rosetta 2.

Hi! I have several problems with my Adobe XD. I've got the latest version and I tried eliminating it many times.

When I open the software, the principal page doesn't show me anything: I can't create new files, even if I use the menu.

Moreover, I can't download any plug-in because it gives me "error" notifications.

What can I do?
