Does anyone have any pointers on how to get my After Effects app to download onto my MacBook Pro? I have updated my Mac to latest software and I have restarted the download multiple times and it keeps saying it is "waiting" this has been going on for 2 days. I have already downloaded the creative cloud app

Are there any kind of user permissions which may be necessary?

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble.  It's usually straightforward, especially if Creative Cloud Desktop has installed as expected.

Which MacBook Pro model do you have?

I would double-check that the version of Ventura, Sonoma, or Sequioa that you're running is up-to-date and also take the time to run Apple Diagnotics.
