Hi there,

 

I am downloading .cclib files the my company provides and I am unable to see previews eiher in the Creative Cloud app or on the preview pane of InDesign, PhotoShop, etc.

 

My company's IT guy is not familiar with Adobe products and we are struggling to find anything that will work on a Windows machine. Thank you!

    Hello, thank you for your patience as we have been working on fixing this issue. Please follow the following steps to see your renditions again:

    1. Download and install the build linked in Step 1: 

    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/libraries-panel-not-working.html

    2. Then remove the contents of the renditions folder at the two following locations in your file explorer:

    • %appdata%\Adobe\Creative Cloud Libraries\LIBS\<userID>\collaborated\renditions
    • %appdata%\Adobe\Creative Cloud Libraries\LIBS\<userID>\creative_cloud\renditions

    3. Finally, kill CCLibrary Process from Task Manager and restart all Adobe products such Photoshop, Illustrator, etc

     

    This should regenerate all the renditions from your libraries without having the 'cloud icon' present.

      Same problem here.

      Since one of the last updates of Illustrator there's an error when i try to add AI Artwork to the creative cloud library. 
      The newly added elements wont show me previews in any Adobe Applications "library" window or in the browser view of my cloud files, while items i uploaded earlier are showing up perfectly.
      All other members of the cloud library group that i have invited are shown the preview thumbnails as before with no problems.

      I tried logging out and in again and re-installing illustrator already.

      None of the steps mentioned here helped me.

      Hi there,

       

      We're sorry to hear about your difficulties as you are unable to see the preview of CC libraries in the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and in other apps. Would you mind telling us the exact version of the operating system you are using? Make sure you are using the updated version of Creative Cloud application. Did you try logging out from the Creative Cloud Desktop application , rebooting the computer and then logging in again to check if that makes any difference? 

       

      You may try the steps mentioned below :-

      • Close any open Adobe products that use Libraries.

      • Open the Creative Cloud desktop app. 
      • Use the following keyboard shortcuts:
      • Windows: Ctrl+Alt+R

      This relaunches Creative Cloud and all its supporting processes, including the Creative Cloud Libraries & relaunch the Creative Cloud app

       

      Also, try the steps outlined on this document and see if they resolve this issue: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/libraries-panel-not-working.html

       

      Let us know how it goes.

       

      Regards,

      Tarun

      I realize that this is not really any help, but I am having a very similar problem first noticed about a week ago that must have started no more than a couple weeks ago. Similar setup (work computer running Windows 10 Enterprise, etc.)

      I posted earlier today on the Illustrator and CC App boards under the following title: CC Library previews lost when edited in CC2021 or CC2022.

       

      Good luck.

      Let me know if you're able to resolve the problem, and I'll do the same.

      Thanks for the update.

      Although I'm on a corporate computer, I seem to have a bit more leeway than it appears you do, and I've done most of what you mentioned above, at least for one of the Illustrator CC versions this problem is happening with. I uninstalled a recently updated plug-in, signed out of CC, ended all CC processe, completely uninstalled Illustrator CC2021, including the files in the "hidden folders," which I saved elsewhere for later re-use, and so on.

      FYI, showing hidden files and folders is one of the first things I do whenever I have a new Windows OS, since that's where the applications store their preferences and other things like workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, grep searches, templates, etc.

       

      So far, nothing has worked.

       

      The problem I'm having is a bit different from yours, but very similar. I'll keep mine on the discussion boards for a bit longer, but then try contacting Adobe if nothing comes of it. Being a big corporation, we should be able to get support from Adobe, I would think.
