Hello All,

I have a client that is using CC on Mac but when they attempt to load it they are presented with the following error screen:

I'm not entirely sure that this is actually a firewall issue so any advice on troubleshooting this issue would be hugely appreciated!

Kind Regards,

      I encountered the same problem and was able to fix it by downloading a fresh copy of the creative cloud app installer and installing it.

        Windows Update troubleshooter worked like a charm for me. Spent a whole day working with Adobe support to try and get it running. They couldn't solve it, stumbled upon this and it was solved within an update and a restart, 15 min tops.

        This worked for me!

        I had this same issue for the last 4 days on my windows machine. I had to contact Microsoft to see what they could do. Come to find out I had some configuration issues on my computer that didn't allow adobe to connect. it might be possible to fix it through an update or by contacting apple. Here's our dialogue.

        Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support, I am A*****How can I help you today?

        My adobe creative cloud app won't connect to the server and I believe it may be an issue you all can help me with

        I've tried adobe and comcast xfinity troubleshooting and nothing has worked so far

        Thank you for letting me know.  I truly understand how important this is for you and I know that you need this issue resolved. Let's work together to get the best possible solution so you can get back on track. May I ask, when did you encounter this issue with Adobe Creative cloud?

        It's been over the last couple of days I have been trying to fix it. I'm not sure how long this has been an issue but it's fairly new. I know I noticed it the other day because I was trying to save some presets from adobe premiere

        I see, have you tried to contact Adobe regarding this issue?

        Yes. We have tried every troubleshooting issue possible and we are all stumped. It has something to do with this computer's configuration or the machine itself. My laptop doesn't have an issue connecting to adobe creative cloud.

        It's been gruesome man

        Thank you for letting me know Jay. I truly understand how important this is for you and I know that you need this issue resolved. Let's work together to get the best possible solution so you can get back on track.

        May I ask, is there any recent changes on your computer prior to this issue?

        Not that I can think of. The last major change I had was a couple of months ago when I installed a new graphics card.

        I see, how about recent Windows update?

        No I don't think i have done that

        I've been seeing the notifications. How can I check to see if I'm current?

        Try to press Windows key + letter "i" on your keyboard then click on Update and Security 

        From there you can check the update History

        Try to check if there are recent Windows update prior to this issue

        Ok im checking

        Everything I'm seeing on here says failed to install dating back to august

        I see, did you noticed any updates that was successfully installed ?

        Everything says failed surprisingly

        I see, can you please check the current version and build of your Windows 10, kindly press Windows key + letter R on your keyboard then type in: WINVER

          Hi kglad,

          The client says that the only part that did not work was it did not show a "Test Successful" message at the Activation Server part.

          Kind Regards,

          Ryan
