Hi - are you by any chance behind a proxy setup that doesn't allow running a local server? If yes, can you please allow 'Exclude simple hostnames' option under System Preferences > Network > Ethernet or Wi-Fi > Advanced > Proxies tab and see if that helps in your case?

Please refer 'Configure your proxy to work with Libraries' section at What to do when the Creative Cloud Libraries panel doesn't load

Thanks!

Check out this page and run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner... it might help get rid of whatever residual file is causing this.

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Didn't work for me... Uninstalled whole Creative Cloud, reinstalled Animate, still not able to create new file (start-up window is blank, "New file" is greyed out, no other option than open existing file or from template...)

Yes but did you specifically use the Creative Cloud Cleaner or did you just uninstall? They're NOT the same thing. Even if you uninstall sometimes residual prefs and files can be left on your hard drive. IF you HAVE run it then I will see what else is possible but if you have NOT then try the Cleaner first because honestly that usually works.

@Asymetrical: Sorry for the late response!

I've tried another complete uninstall of the Creative Cloud using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. It uninstalled almost everything (only the host file couldn't be deleted  -'0' items have been cleared-  it states). Reinstalled the lastest versions. Everything works, except Animate... Still no way to create a new file (still grayed out). Went back to the 18.0.2 version, since this one works. None of the others (19.0 / 19.1 / 19.2) work on my MAC...  😞  This is a bit boring since I work with an Marketing Agency, and they sent me file made with the latest version... At least I still can open them, but how long will this work?

Hi Mohanaraj;

OMG!

You are the man!!

Thank you, you just solved my 1 year old problem! I tried every tip I found, but none of them point out that proxy thing.

It was indeed the little tick to put on "Exclude simple hostnames", which wasn't ticked in my wifi preferences.

Now, I can finally start to use ANIMATE!

Please, send this to the developers, since you are the first to come with this solution.

YOU SAVED MY DAY!
