My Creative Cloud Connection desktop app has not been able to connect for over a week and half now. I have contacted support with no succes all they say is log in online which does not help me at all.

I've tried unistalling the application as well as the application manager application all with no success.

When I click the menu icon and select sign in, the sign in window pops up I enter my password and click sign in, I get the little spinning image showing its doing something then the window dissapears and nothing happens, I go back to the icon and it says sign in again.

Does anyone have this issue or have a solution to this issue?

Hi.

if you are using a MAC you will not find the same location mentioned by staff on your computer, you can find the OOBE folder by following the mentioned steps.

1. select go to folder option

2. /Library>application support>Adobe>OOBE

    ~/Library>application support>Adobe>OOBE

3. Delete the OOBE folder from both the locations if you find and then try to launch the application, your issue will be resolved.

Good Luck.

Original post is from May of 2013 and has been resurrected!? Why an ongoing problem like this? This is NOT how a big company should run a business.

I have had issues with my CC app. It goes away and I have to somehow wrangle it back into existence. Can SOMEone give us an answer on how to remedy this?

I SHOULD NOT have to be my own tech troubleshooter. Jumping through hoops to get my paid for product is ridiculous. All I am asking for is that my paid for app opens when I click its icon.

I know I'm not the only one out there with this problem.

This is a very self-centric request; make this app work properly for customers.

Loudly,

M. A. Nelson

MAC users!

I was haveing heck of a time trying to get this working, tried all of the recomendations above. BUT the problem was Growl. Quit Growl reopen CC and it worked fine hope this helps someone.

Kylebyle: Thanks for your update, that is true, this is the troubleshooting step for this issue, as there is a need to update some of the binaries of the sync app. sometimes, even a resintall of the Cretive Cloud Connection, also works for the issue.

Thanks for your effort to support other customer's,

Cheers.

Likewise here on Multiple Macs, not connected for the past couple of days. Running version 1.0.500.17. Not too reliable since we signed up for Teams two weeks ago. Reco using DropBox until it's fixed.

Please try the below suggestions and check if that helps:

>> Make sure you are able to login to https://creative.adobe.com/ and access all your files.

>> Uninstall Creative Cloud Connection 1.0 and install 1.0.5.

     Wind : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3463

     Mac: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3462

>> Try to sync now and check.

>> If same issue, delete the opm.db file from the below location, restart the Creative Cloud Connection and sign in.

     Win: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

     Mac: <user>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE

Let me know in case you still face the same issue.

It is already the most current version of Creative Cloud Connection.

I do not have any file in my OOBE file called opm.db

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
