Creative Cloud Desktop - App tab keeps loading

Hello,

Something I experience since yesterday. In my "creative cloud desktop" app, I am unable to see my installed apps anymore. I get this spinning icon with then the message that "loading takes longer then usual".
Even in the creative cloud preferences, the section "app" is greyed out. This is where can you enable or disable the "update options " for your apps.

What is even more strange is the fact that when I login into a webbrowser, Firefox or Safari, I get the same thing when I navigate to the apps section while in the webbrowser. So my guess is, it is not on my computer side? I even tested this out, after creating a new user account, and still the same thing happens. Even when I go with my iPad to the Adobe website and I login, I have the same thing.

I removed and reinstalled the creative cloud desktop app, after i tried a repair with the specific Adobe app to remove or repair Creative Cloud app. I rebooted my workstation numerous times

I am using the latest macOS Sonoma version, on a Apple M1 desktop machine.

I already had a chat with customer service, and they will have look at it, but perhaps somebody has a solution?

I contacted Adobe on chatsupport with my casenumber. They didn't call me yet, and probably won't today. The case has been escalated to the senior team. Adobe is aware of the problem, so they said, and are working on a fix. So as far I can tell, there IS actually a bug currently. They will keep me informed asap. Not more I can tell now really.

Problem solved! I quote an Adobe employee:

"Hi everyone. Sorry for the inconvenience. There a minor content update that was done that inadvertently caused a bigger issue. The change has been reverted so the Apps tab should be functional again. If you're still seeing the issue, try "Help > Check for updates" in the Creative Cloud app and see if that resolves the issue."

I have the same. The application loads and nothing happens. When I go to the browser, the programs appear. Adobe definitely messed something up during the update.

Updated the creative cloud. Everything works! I am very happy! Thank you

Exactly the same problem. At first photoshop beta showed that I needed to get an update, but then everything stopped working. I mean downloading updates.
I have one profile. Everything worked fine, but since yesterday it stopped and it also says long loading of applications. And if this happens to different users, then it means that the problem is not with desktop computers, but with ADOBE

I just had an extensive chat with support. They even took over my screen so I could show exactly what happens.
I have 2 user profiles: personal account (because i had a subscription for indiviual until january 2024) and a profile for my business account, which started on january 2024. the personal account i never use anymore, as there is no subscription on that account active, only on my business acount.

When i sign in on the website … i am able to see my apps in the "apps tab" on the webbrowser, when I click on my personal account, but I cannot see my apps in the "apps tab" when i click on my business acount. I get the same spinning icon issue like I have on my creative cloud desktop app. The support confirmed it has to be glitch on Adobe's side. Fact that it happens on the webbrowser itself also, proves it's not due to my creative cloud desktop app (on macos). I did reinstall the creative cloud app, after removing it with the tool provided, but issues remains.

They will contact the backend to see where the problem lays. Fact that some users report the same thing, makes me confident it has to be an issue on Adobe's side. They will give me a call tomorrow, but due to time difference (i'm located in belgium, europe) it will be from my point of view later in the evening.

Certainly they said it's a problem with a deeper conflict on the backend side. Fact that other users report this issue on basically the exact same time as I experience makes me believe it has to be a server kinda glitch.

I keep you posted.

So, the problem itself. I can't access the applications through Creative Cloud, so I know that Photoshop Beta(
I reinstalled Creative Cloud, restored the Microsoft Visual C++ libraries, nothing helped

No, I just went to Adobe.com … signed in. I didn't use a link from the CC desktop app.
The link i get on in my webbrowser = adobe.com/home and for the apps section = adobe.com/apps

ok, got it. thank you for that information.

now, using your mobile phone, disable internet data and reconnect using one of your mobile browsers. do you still see the same problem?

John BeeckaertAuthor

Inspiring

Yup, already done that … even disabled WiFi and got on mobile internet … restarted my iPad/iPhone … the whole thing. Even restarted my modem. I have no Antivirus software nor firewall things enabled. It's the first time I experience this really. My apps run fine on my workstation, but I just find it very odd that the apps won't load in the creative cloud app. I mean, how can I install updates I wonder.

https://account.adobe.com is the account page.

are you going there by clicking a link in your cc desktop app?

John BeeckaertAuthor

My Adobe account … there you get like the same kind off interface you have on your Creative Cloud app … and even there the "app section" … gets the loading spinning icon. Even on my iPad I get this, I did this to test things out. Even with another user account I created I get the same thing on website and creative cloud desktop app.
