No updates of any apps in my Creative Cloud - ever.

Community Beginner ,
Jun 25, 2025 Jun 25, 2025

For some odd reason I never get any updates of any of the apps on my system. I've tried the suggested options in this community including removing the .db file from the library/OOBE folder and uninstalling and re-installing Creative Cloud alltogether but to no avail. 

Even though I am several versions behind for Photoshop the updates page within CC keeps showing 'You're up to date!'.  Only thing that seems to work is uninstalling and re-installing each app, something I really don't want to do every single time I find out online there's a newer version out.. 

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

are you waiting to see if updates work after following:



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

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

Correct! We'll know as soon as a newer version of either PS or LRC arrives.

Well, I really am very sorry to have to return to this thread but it seems that the problem persists. Photoshop 26.9 is available but my CC is again not having it. 'No updates available' and it keeps saying 26.8.1 is the latetst. Did the whole sign out - sign in and restart etc. again to no avail. Logged in to the online version (https://www.adobe.com/apps/updates) and even that is showing 'no updates available'. 

Oddly enough I DO get upodates for the CC app itself. 

 

Any other ideas?

Hi Kanikas,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Clicking the 'Update photoshop' on that page simply opens the Photoshop app (26.8.1) on my Mac -  even though the page warns me that it will be opening CC. Nothing else happens.

Repeatedly. And way more than just that, see the steps as suggested by kglad in the previous page of this thread. 

Nothing has helped - CC refuses to aknowledge available updates.. 😞

Attached screenshot is all it says within settings. I can confirm that CC is installad at Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/ACC/Creative Cloud.app.

 

What I noticed though is that the app itself has june modigfied date even tthough CC updated itself just yesterday. Or so it led me to belief at least.

I have not (yet).  There is one more thing I am going to try when I get home and that's cleaning up my macs keychain certificates related to Adobe and see if that does anything a all. 

Should that fail I'll see if and where I can get in touch with support.

Unfortunately, it didn't.. Still no updates available while we know there actually is one. If you could direct me to the right page for the supportteam that would be great. I just found a chatbot so far.
