Adobe CC not syncing on MAC OSC - Error Code 119

[Darren5E71]

Hi there

In need of some help... 

I am getting a sync error on CC that doesnt allow me to download Prmiere Pro on MAC OS latest version of Catalina - this is a company Mac, that I have recently bought to home to work from home.

I have tried a few things to no avail. I have disabled the firewall - no joy. I have disabled Anti-Virus software - no luck; and I have uninstalled and installed - no luck.

I have been on a few of the foru threads, but one thing I cannot find on my Mac after insatll is the 'CoreSync' app/folder. This must be the reason, but what I cannot understand is how or why the installer does not install it. So my theory is that is the reason why I get the Error Code: 119, as evidenced below:

correct, error code 119 means you're not connecting to adobe's server.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. 

I did try all these things before - I have deactivated the Mac's firewall, I have removed Symantec Anti-virus... I have tried Wifi versus cabled connections... I am totally out of ideas.

The only thing I am super curious about... is that I cannot find the 'CoreSync' package on this Mac... it does not seem to have installed (I have removed and installed a few times prior too). Any ideas?

enable showing of hidden files,

win, Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions in Windows 10 and earlier (adobe.com)

mac, Access hidden macOS library files (adobe.com)

Nope, no folder called CoreSync in Library as per above method.

I have further evidence on this mystrery. If I sezrch for 'core' which looks like an Adobe product, it appears to not be usable:

It appears as though it's a 32 bit program, which doesn't want to run on Catalina. Is this the issue?

not if you're using the current cc desktop app.

first, reset the cc app:

to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

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

if that fails, try to repair

if that fails go ahead and uninstall/reinstall per the above link

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

uninstall every cc app including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
check for, and if available, update your os
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials
