CC Libraries Sync Error

[milliew20234119]

Hi,

I can not access the CC Libraries across my adobe applications because the error message keeps saying it cannot connect to the server. Please see attached screensot:

I have followed the advice and signed-out and signed-in back in Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App yet the same issue is not being resolved. Help please! 🙂

Hi,

Sorry, you are facing this problem. Could you please try below steps:

1. Delete all folders that start with “CC_LIBRARIES_PANEL_EXTENSION_xx_xx_xx” in this location:

WIN: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions

MAC: Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe⁩ ▸ ⁨CEP⁩ -> extensions
2. Follow the steps of Solution 2 in this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/libraries-panel-not-working.html
Before trying the steps - please, make sure you killed the CCLibraries process in Task Manager / Activity Monitor, as well as you have quit all Adobe related products. This is mentioned in steps 1 and 2 of the article linked in step 2, but wanted to point out, because it is important.

Thank you,

I just carried out this procedure which appeared to cure the fault. I then received notification of a Creative Cloud update being available. After I applied this update the same problem has reappeared.

I sent you a private message.

We were able to determine the root cause and fixed it.

@supkat what was the root cause? This problem seems to be back in 2025.

first of all I have a MAC, I finally had to call Customer Support and then ask to talk or chat with a Senior Technical Support Team member, he/she, after connecting to my computer, went through everything and deleted quite a few files to include CC, etc... Once that was done, CC and PS etc were reinstalled.  That solved the problem, the files that were in a lot of places i never knew existed... So that in my estimation is the ONLY way to go.  Hope this helps.

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R


if that fails, repair per https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-install-stuck.html


if that fails, uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes... and then reinstall using*


if that fails, do a clean cc install carefully following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes...

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

if windows is your os update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated (use google if you don't know how to do this)

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app using the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.

Cmd + Opt + R working for me! Thank you so much, I've been stuck with this problem for months!

@Yasmina_YS 

you're welcome (and thank you for the follow-up).

[bbezanson]

This worked to fix my problem which started after updating to macOS Sonoma a week ago.

[kglad]

thank you (again) @bbezanson for that info.

After followed the steps. It still shows, may I ask for another solution?

[Paula24410907cmpi]

I have the same sync error, but I cannot complete the step 1 because those 'CC_Libraries...' files don't exist... Is there anythign else I can do?

Hi,

We would like to investigate this problem and if you could share logs from your machine, this would be very helpful. Here is a link to Adobe Log Collector Tool:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html
You'll get a zip file generated, could you please send the name of it?
It will be something like "AdobeLogs_20191011_081024_xxx-win.zip"
This might help us to understand the root cause of the problem.

Thank you,

There's no CEP folder underMacintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe⁩ on Mac OS Sonoma. Need to update this information. GThe only help that worked was the  Cmd + Opt + R

[kglad]

@marcusv 

open system preferences > security & privacy > privacy > full disk access > adobe cc desktop app  (or you may see a prompt after security & privacy

Yay! Was freaking me out for ages. Mac: Cmd + Opt + R worked almost instantly - thanks buddy!
