Hello Guys,

I just updated to the latest macOS Ventura 13.0. Suddenly am getting a pop-up " CClibrary is damaged and can't be opened". It was not happening before the update. Is it a MacOS bug?

Although, PS, LR are working fine.

Please let me know if someone else got similar issues.

 

Device: Macbook Air M2, 2022

 

Thanks

Hi there, I am having the same error although mine is to do with the cclibrary.app as well as my wacom tablet. I have unistalled the CC desktop app and reinstalled it and still comes up with the same error. I can access all the apps (photoshop, LR etc) but have this annoying window pop up all the time... do you know when the next up date is going to be released?

Hi all, @JRRGibbs @ADITYA24500830h97i @Kellansworld @George25066647gaok,

 

Could you please try manually opening the Libraries process from the location via right-click and agree to the security warning to check if that makes any difference?

Hey @Tarun Saini, here is what I tried doing. I uninstalled the CCLibrary through the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Then, I downloaded the new CCLibrary from the link you sent, and when I tried to open it, a pop-up comes up saying "Installer is corrupt. Please re-download the installer and try again." (I have added a screenshot of this pop-up). I even tried opening it from "Show Package Contents" and installing it from the Terminal, but the same pop-up came up.

 

Please help. Thank you.

Thank you for responding. No, I mean the CCLibrary.dmg. I am having the same problem as the original poster where a pop-up comes up saying that CCLibrary is damaged and can not be opened. The pop-up comes up right as I turn on my computer, and will persist endlessly when I open something like Photoshop.

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.

This did it for me! the CCLibrary was being blocked in Privacy & Security in Settings. There you will find an alert from Ventura to give access to the CCLibrary to files in your computer.

Privacy & Security in Settings solved it for me. Somehow was being blocked as being downloaded online from an unidentified developer.
