Error 1001 when updating under macOS 10.11.6

Hallo everybody

A message tells me that the automatic upgrade of desktop Creative Cloud (4.5.0.331) failed (it stopped when it was only 2%).

Error code: 1001

Could it be that my OS X is too old? (10.9.5)

Thanks a lot!

Pablita

Thank you John

I saw that page and that's the reason why I thought that the old version could be the problem.

I decided to ask here because on that page they don't specify the version of Creative Cloud desktop app. Well, I suppose they refere to the latest one, because until yesterday I didn't have problems.

The problem is only with the desktop app.

Everything's ok with other apps I use (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) because I use version 2015.

Sorry if my question was naif, I'm not very experienced in installing, upgrading an so on...

Thank you very much!

HAving the same sort of problem: upgrade failed at 2% with a 1001 error. Redownloaded the upgrade and it failed again. Followed the troubleshooting guide which said to uninstall the CC app. I did and then tried reinstall. That failed also. I get a quick flash of a logo box after I type in my system password (too fast to read) and then it never installs although the com.adobe process stays in the process list.

Tried killing the process, going back to the troubleshooting steps, downloading the uninstaller again and running it. Now it runs but says it completed with errors. Redownloaded the CC app installer and it still fails in the same way.

I'm running 10.11.6 on a 21 inch mid-2007 iMac with 4 GB of main memory. Worked fine before last nights "update" to CC.

Thanks for your contribution

I see you're running 10.11.6, so your problem cannot be that it is too old, since the page of "help adobe" says that minimum system required is 10.11

I'm running 10.9.5 on a 24 inch 2007 iMac, 4 GB main memory.

I hope you'll find a solution... Maybe someone here can help

I am having the same problem. I have talked to three support representatives. 2 days later no matter what they did I still get the same error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC and used the Cleaner Tool and uninstalled Application Manager and reinstalled it. Nothing has helped.

Similarly to AugustFalcon: "upgrade failed at 2% with a 1001 error. Re-downloaded the upgrade and it failed again. Followed the troubleshooting guide which said to uninstall the CC app…" I discovered the failure yesterday, April 30th. Today, I started up from an external drive with a clone of the startup, and a repeat of the problem happened.

For those who are still encountering Error 1001 in addition to the steps listed in "Failed to install" error received when installing Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app then I would also recommend rebooting the computer.

Error 1001 occurs because the installer is facing a permission failure.  Rebooting the computer should resolve the error. If not then please complete solution three in "Failed to install" error received when installing Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app which discusses installing in a freshly created local administrator account.  The new account should have the correct permission to then install the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application update.

For additional information regarding Error 1001 see Troubleshoot Creative Cloud apps installation and uninstallation errors .

Thank you, Jeff, for your help. I'll have to go to the 3rd option re: setting up another account to install Creative Cloud desktop app. The previous steps didn't work for me.

Hi Ivor.

Does your computer allow El Capitan OS natively or do you use a kind of Pike R Alpha version for your iMac beyond capabilities?

I'm not sure. I think that the last update a week ago was for Safari on the 2007 iMac. The security update for another iMac using High Sierra was done.

HI Jeff, I have tried every single option that there is on the site, and none of them work, ended up wiping hard drive and reinstalling from time machine, have all the apps working except for the desktop app, which will still not update.

Ianstewart1960, when you went through the process of wiping the hard drive did you only restore the documents and settings on the computer or did you also transfer the applications?

Hi Jeff, I transferred the applications too, as once you have uninstalled them you can't get them back through the desktop app.

Hopefully the update that is coming later in the week will resolve the issue, even though I have the applications such as indesign photoshop etc working, if there are any updates to them I will not be able to update them until the desktop app is sorted out.

Ok, thanks for the update, Ianstewart1960.  In general, I recommend only moving documents and settings if you are restoring from a backup.  Restoring any installed applications can cause the same errors to occur once those applications are restored. 

Out of curiosity do you also face errors when installing applications through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application?  You seemed concerned that you would be unable to reinstall through the process discussed in Learn how to download your Adobe Creative Cloud apps .

Similar to Ian, since I was required to remove the applications (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) before uninstalling the Creative Cloud app, I can't download those desktop apps until I re-install Creative Cloud. Presently, I'm going to try the suggestion to use a secondary user with administration capability. As soon as I try that suggestion I'll report it here.

I tried installing Creative Cloud using a different user account with administration capability, and it didn't work for me. The installer progress window disappears after showing 1 percent of the installation. I'll have to wait for an upgrade to Creative Cloud.

Adobe CC desktop app for Mac has just been updated to 4.4.1.298

Edit: for whatever reason, the desktop app won’t upgrade again. Yesterday the app was working due to the update, now there’s the same problem.
