Illustrator CS4 error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"

I am working on a Mac 10.10 Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CS4 however every time I try to open Illustrator it brings up error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip". I can't click on the OK button and the only thing I can do is force quit the application. How do I solve this problem so I can work on my files again?

I have found the solution in another forum that finally seems to have worked!
The last comment I haven't yet experienced as I quit photoshop and was still able to open illustrator without problems and without the help of photoshop afterwards.
But happy for now that this works.
OK, had the same issue, found a work around, not a fix.
1     Force quit Illustrator.
2     Start Photoshop CS4
3     Start Illustrator CS4
4     when you get the alert popup, with Photoshop now open, it allows me to click on "don't show again", and click "OK"
5     quit Photoshop
Now Illustrator should continue to work so long as it is open.
Illustrator will continue to freeze on start unless you 1st open Photoshop.

  • Error message when starting Adobe Illustrator CC [Error loading plugins   AppBarControls.aip]

    Hello,
    I get the following error message when I start Adobe Illustrator CC.
    Error loading plugins
    AppBarControls.aip
    Then it gives me the option to continue by clicking okay. When it opens, the Application Bar is just blank.
    I've tried uninstalling, then ran Adobe CC Cleaner, then downloaded and reinstalled.
    Computer details : OS X 10.9.5, 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Help is kindly appreciated!

    I also have had a difficult time with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashing upon launch.  The support staff was great even though we had to work through several sessions.  Below is the email explaining our final session.
    This email is in regards with the issue you had been facing with Illustrator CC 2014.
    While going through the installer logs, we found that there was an issue with the installation & the program installer had been denied access to several critical files & folders during installation.
    This was the main reason for Illustrator crash as several critical components had not been installed properly.
    We tried installing the program in a new user account & that worked.
    Though the program has been installed properly now & is working in your old account, I will still strongly recommend you to get your computer user account repaired with a Windows 7 operating system diskette.
    This is required so that you do not run into more trouble later while working with the Adobe Applications or even while installing other programs.
    Avanish Divya was the final support person that successfully resolved my problems.

  • Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message: "Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip.

    Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message:
    "Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip. I have tried reloading the program, updating, everything. I've checked the forums but no one seems to have a solution

    I am not sure. Here is a screenshot.  Many people are having this problem. I am wondering what it is and what it does exactly and can't seem to find an answer to that question.
    I deleted Illustrator CS6  yesterday and reloaded the program. I am on a Mac, Maverick 10.9. The strange thing is the dates. All plugins [in the file] correspond with the Illy CS6 reload except that particular Plugin?
    Can I delete the file or is it a necessary plugin?

  • AE Effects Error Unable to load plugin

    Hi,
    Can anybody help with the following error - AE Effects Error, Unable to load "Misfire Vignette, Bundle"
    Verify filter parameters. I have a project sent to me and we both have FCP7. I can see in my application support folder that the plugins for misfire are grey scaled but they don't activate when unlocked. Can i install from somewhere or is there any easy solution here??
    Appreciate any help out there, thanks Paul

    Hi Paul,
    if all you need is a vignette, which you can customize in many ways and you prefer to stick with FCP there are many free options and plugins that are designed for such purpose or can be used for creating a vignette.
    Photoshop if you have it, [Andy Mees's RB|http://web.me.com/andymees/Freeand_Easy/main/Entries/2008/3/19_Andy%E2%80%99s_Region_Blur3.html], [Mine|http://www.videonline.co.uk/LucasVignetteCombo.htm], [Alex4D's|http://alex4d.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/final-cut-free-vignette-filter > there re even more out there.
    Most offer more controls than the FCP standard vignette.

  • Error loading plugins DxfDwg.aip and PNGFileFormat.aip when launching Illustrator.

    It was working fine and then all of a sudden I started getting this error. I have already reinstalled the software, changed the permissions to all of the files and folders and am running the program as an administrator. Any ideas?

    Adobe chat was going to charge me to fix this issue, so I put on my big girl pants and have a workaround. Not a fix, so if someone has an idea on that, please let me know.
    I am using Windows 7 with all of the latest updates applied to everything.
    Workaround: Create a brand new clean administrator account on your machine and run Illustrator on that one. Works like a charm. Not convenient in any sense of the word, but it works.

  • Illustrator cs4 start up error

    Hi, i just got Adobe master collection cs4 i installed the application that i needed(Dreamwaver,fireworks,flash,illustrator,photoshop , indesign and AIR).

    I also get it on fireworks and Dreamwaver but the rest are working just fine.
    here a my pc spec:
    Win 7 ultimate
    3gb ram
    ati radeon x1650
    250gb hard
    Pentium D dual core
    any help would be welcome. thanks

    To what langauge was your system set when you installed, what language did you choose in the Adobe installer and which language do you use now? Missing language packs are most often caused by a mishmahs on that end. That aside, I hope you are aware that you are running on an unsupported configuration. Pentium D does not meet the minimum system requirements for CS4 and Windows 7 on such an old hardware certainly adds anotehr layer of complication, so anything is possible. In any case, check the language settings and run the apps as administrator to see if it makes any difference.

  • Error massage when loading illustrator

    Hi
    I'm getting an error message when i'm loading the illustrator app on mac OS.
    The message is:
    "Error loading plugins. wacexportfile.aip"
    Pls advice.
    Chen

    That's the Wacom Inkling Plugin.
    It's not compatible with your version. Get the file out of your plugins folder.
    On top of it you need to change the name of the Wacom Inkling application "Sketch Manager" to something else to keep it from launching automatically and installing the plugin again and again.
    You can also try and get a compatible version from Wacom. It's available for versions CS5, CS6 and CC (independently of course)...

  • Error loading plugins CC 2014

    I have build a plugin with AI SDK CC 2014 on Win 7.
    But the plugin cannot be loaded by one customer (CC2014 18.1.0, Win7 ultimate 64-bit).  Only a message pops up with 'Error loading plugins xxx.aip'. The plugin works fine on other machines with the same configuration.
    The function PluginMain() is not called by AI and I cannot find any information why.
    Is there a kind of logging available on AI side to analyze problems while loading plugins?

    Joe, Unfortunately your symptoms are slightly different than the original posters. Bunny's issue is odd because the plug-in loads on some machines and not others. I'm afraid I'm stumped there.  But Joe, I think we could help you if we had some more information about the process you went through to get your samples loaded. It really could be a lot of things at this point. And it would help to know if you're developing on a windows or mac OS, etc. Did you follow the procedures in the "Getting Started Guide" in the docs folder of the SDK?

  • Error 2 installing Illustrator CS4 from Web Premium

    I've just spent a couple of hours trying to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium completely installed on my work PC (the University of St Andrews, UK) using the volume licence key but I get an error when installing it.  It says "Done, with errors".  When I click on "More Information" I get a message saying:
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2.
    and sure enough, everything works apart from Illustrator CS4.  I read elsewhere on the forums (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2415634#2415634) about a solution, but I didn't fully understand the steps required.
    I'm using an absolutely clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (just has Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional and now Adobe CS4 Web Premium.  It's installed with English (United Kingdom) region settings.
    When I run the Adobe Support Advisor it says:
    Issue no: id18308
    Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
    Click here to read the Knowledge Base article
    System Information :
    Operating System = Windows 7 Professional
    Locale = en
    I followed the advice there, but the registry information didn't exist ("Right-click PDF Admin Settings and choose Permissions.") so I couldn't pursue that route.
    When I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 it said that it was using "English (International)".  It still doesn't work.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.  Or how can I contact Adobe about this directly?
    Thanks

    Hi Scott. 
    It was not that I was unwilling to Archive and Install... I didn't catch that in your initial response and that's why I called Apple... because I did understand that the user account was corrupt.  Apparently Apple is not aware of the Archive and Install fix either because that was not recommended.  I am sure if it was a common fix, they would have told me about it.  So, now that you have further explained how Archive and Install work, I am sure that information will be very helpful to someone else with the exact same problem.  This problem, for your information, is not uncommon as I found the question many times in my quest to get an answer... so there is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved.  Installing this software should have been just as easy as it was to install all the other software on my computer. 
    I know someone will find your response, in its entirety, very helpful.  Again, thank you for your time.
    Take care,

  • What values in EBM Header maps to error notification entry in AIA console

    Hi Guys,
    Can any one tell me which values of EBM Header maps to error notification entry in AIA console for sending notification to user created ?
    What elements in EBM Header maps to this fields *(SYSTEM CODE, ERROR CODE, SERVICE NAME, and PROCESS_NAME)* in Error notification in AIA Console for sending notification to a particular user other than AIAIntegrationAdmin?

  • Trouble getting Illustrator CS4 to run, and when it does: no workspaces

    At work (University of St Andrews) I have Adobe CS4 Web Premium and everything installs and runs okay apart from Illustrator CS4.
    I've tried to install it on two different PCs, both Dell Precision workstations. One had Windows XP Professional 32-bit, the new one has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I get exactly the same behaviour on both. I've even tried to install it on Windows 7's XP Mode and I get the same error messages!
    INSTALLATION #1
    When I installed it I got an error saying "Done, with errors". Details showed:
    Error
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2
    When I then tried to run the application it just wouldn't start, it would throw up an error message. It simply would not start.
    INSTALLATION #2
    So I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and got the same error.
    COPY FILES - NO WORKSPACES
    I then read this advice on a forum:
    "Do you have a working install of Ai CS4 on another computer anywhere?
    If so, go into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator\Support\Required
    and copy the Resources file to the same location on the computer that
    encounters the error. I was having the same problem, but luckily I had a
    working install on another OS, so I just compared the files between the
    two installations and found the missing ones."
    So I copied over these files from a working copy elsewhere in the department and this time the application ran but I now have no WorkSpace settings and cannot save any either.
    INSTALLATION #3
    I then uninstalled again and tried to reinstall. This time on the installer I was given a number of language options. Rather than English (International) I selected English (US) and lo! and behold! the installer ran without errors and the application opened ok and this time I had WorkSpaces... the only problem was that it would only run in trial mode because it wouldn't accept my serial number, which I'm guessing is for English (International) only.
    INSTALLATION #4
    Uninstall, again. Reinstall, again, this time in English (International).
    Now the application opens but again I have no WorkSpaces, and cannot save any workspaces.
    What can I do? Any idea how can I get a fully working version of Illustrator CS4 on my PC that includes workspaces?
    Thank you
    Gareth

    Hi Carey,
    Thanks for your post. I have followed your instructions and here are my replies:
    Are you having any issues with your other Adobe products, or is it just Illustrator?
    If just Illustrator, did you previously install the product separately (i.e. as a trial, or as a pre-release/beta)?
    I am having problems only with Illustrator CS4. I have not installed the product separately, either as a trial or a pre-release or beta.
    In fact, I installed Adobe CS4 Web Premium on a clean, newly installed, straight-from-the-Dell-factory Dell Precision T7400. It was the first application I installed, and Illustrator wasn't working straight after the installation.
    I've not had any problems with other Adobe applications. The only time the serial number became an issue was when I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 using "English (US)" as an option, simply out of curiosity as this hadn't been an option with the original installation of the whole suite.
    I followed the instructions:
    Deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    Updated permissions for Public Documents (although when I reached step 12: "Click Apply and click Permissions tab." there was no Permissions tab).
    Reinstalled Illustrator CS4 from the setup.exe file. You said uncheck everything else, however the following applications would not allow me to untick them:
    Adobe Bridge CS4
    Adobe Extension Manager CS4
    Supporting Components:
              Adobe CMaps CS4
              Adobe CSI CS4
              Adobe CSI CS4 x64
              Adobe Color EU Recommended Settings CS4
              Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
              Adobe Color NA Extra Settings CS4
              Adobe Default Language CS4
              Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS4
              Adobe Fonts All CS4
              Adobe Adobe Linguistics CS4
              Adobe Output Module
              Adobe PDF Library Files CS4
              Adobe Search for Help
              Adobe Service Manager Extension
              Adobe Type Support CS4
              Adobe Update Manager CS4
              Adobe WinSoft Linguistics PLugin x64
              Adobe XMP Panels CS4
              AdobeColorCommonSetCMYK
              AdobeColorCommonSetRGB
              Connect
              PDF Settings CS4
              Photoshop Camera Raw _x64
              kuler
    The installer ran, and I got exactly the same error as before:
    Error
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2
    Now when I try to run Illustrator CS4 I get a dialog box saying:
    Error
    The localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.
    This is the ninth time I've tried to reinstall it.
    I'll try to send you a direct message with the serial number and take it from there.
    Thanks
    Gareth
