Adobe Creative Cloud issues talked to Adobe Tech Support and they didn’t help

And though it was in India, I had less trouble understanding them this time. Of course they didn’t actually help. Had me boot as root and the apps launched there (only bridge would launch otherwise), and said it was an issue with my user folder and they wouldn’t help with that! I should call Apple! WTF! No help with conflicts of their software which I am paying a monthly fee to use? Now that is shitty support!

So I was trying everything I could think of to fix the issues, and finally decided to reset my home folder permissions and ACL (did you realize that permissions repair in Disk Utility is only for the system and not your hone directory?). To do this you have to hold own option and boot into your os x recovery partition (you have one right?) though holding down command-r will work as well.
This is more difficult for me as I have a PC video card and have to swap it out with my old Geforce gtx 275, then hold down option and go into recovery mode, you must then chose Terminal from the menu and type recoverpassword, and the hit to reset home directory and acl on your chosen home directory. It only took a few minutes and after my restart Adobe Creative Cloud worked (though i still got a weird error message from Photoshop).
Glad i figured it out, as Adobe was no help!
