Illustrator CS5 Instalation Problem on Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have tried instaling this software multiple times and am getting errors in the program that reinstalling doesn't seem to fix.
Here are the errors I'm getting:
When opening a new document, I get the error: "Can't locate the Startup Profiles. Please try after installing Illustrator again.  Illustrator will now attempt to create a default document" 
When quitting Illustrator, I get the error: "The Application Adobe Illustrator CS5 quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched.  Mac OSX and other applications are not affected.  Click relaunch to launch the application again.  Click Report to see more details or to send a report to Apple"
I saved the report in case this is needed.
After browsing user forums, I attempted to reinstall using the following steps:
1) Before attempting any reinstallation, I deleted the folder drive/users/username/library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
2) Unstalled Illustrator using the uninstaller package that comes with Illustrator. 
3) Removed shortcut from menu
4) Reinstalled Software.
Please advise.
Thanks,

After downloading CS5 I ran into multiple permissions errors, this is no exception.
The following folder needs Read & Write access:
Macintosh HD:Users:(Your User Name):Library:Application Support:Adobe:Adobe Illustrator CS5
You can change this access by selecting "Get Info" on this folder, then adjust the Sharing & Permissions options so everyone can Read & Write.
NOTE: This addresses the startup profiles only; crashing on quit is a separate issue.
When you open up Illustrator this time and try to create a new document, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder that couldn't be added before.

  • My brand new illustrator cs5 keeps crashing my mac osx 10.7.2 ???

    Hi all,
    I have recently purchased the Adobe creative suite 5.5 design standard student and teachers edition. Every time I try to use Adobe Illustrator it freezes when I try to save a document, I can't even force quit the program so I need to shut down my whole computer ?? I am running Lion on a new imac osx 10.7.2
    Can someone please help or at least tell me how to get help from Adobe I'm utterly confused !!

    Try these steps
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS5.1 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    Then Repair the Permissions using the Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder.
    Last part is important.
    It sounds like the permissios to a directory has been unintentionally set to read only.
    You might have to repair find and repair it manually.
    It could be one of your hard drives or partition or a folder and probably it is somewhere along the path leading to the location at which you are trying to save your files.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes on startup - Mac OSX Lion

    Hi Everyone,
    I've reinstalled InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 after upgrading to Mac OSX Lion,
    Photoshop and Illustrator work fine but InDesign crashes on startup.
    I've followed a few threads on here, one suggested creating a new adimistrator-level user on my machine - and that works, but I can't figure out what to fix in my regular user to make InDesign work in here again...
    This is the error report I'm getting:
    http://pastebin.com/a2LrMFdw
    Help, anyone?
    Thanks a lot!

    I'm having a similar problem but I haven't been able to get it to work. I created a new administer level user but InDesign still won't open under that user. I've tried the other suggestions as well with no success. Please help!!!! It really doesn't help that I'm in South East Asia traveling with no fast internet to be found.  :\

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

  • When downloading a pdf file I get a message that I must download Adobe Reader. When I do that I am told that it is already installed. Why can't I use it if it's already installed. I-Mac OsX 9.3

    g -
    I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

  • I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). Can print from other applications. Help please?

    I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). CS5 crashes when sent to print.  Can print from other applications (Word, etc.).

    I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print!  I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

  • Creator Install Problems on Mac OS X - 10.3.7.

    Problems installing Creator on Mac OSX. After uncompressing the download, I run the command to start the install from the new "Creator" volume. All is good. The command opens up a terminal window and executes it's little script, finds Java, kicks off the GUI and all is well. Install is over, all good, I get "the end" and "logout" in the terimanl window. So
    However, after succesfull install, every time I open a terminal, it now tries to run this same darn command.
    AND IT DOES FOR ANY SHELL I HAVE.
    When and if I login with a different user, other then my default account, no issues.
    If anybod has any ideas, please help.
    Oh yeah, if I execute the uninstall command, all is clean, uninstall works, I manually remove .Creator from my home dir.
    ANY time I start the terminal, for any shell, it still has that damn command :-)
    For any shell.\

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what command you speak of. When you
    install creator you can just run it using the icon it
    created for you, there should be no need to run any
    command from a terminal.
    Regards jPJP, I am talking about the cnd to start the install. After clean good install, every time I try to open a terminal window, it tries to run the install command, i.e. start the install. Sorry for the confusion.

  • CS5 reinstallation problem on Mac after factory resetting

    I have recently returned my Mac Air to factory setting and installed SSD card.
    I am now unable to  open all raw files through Bridge or photoshop after reinstalling from disc.
    I get this message that is telling me that Raw can't open files because camera is not supported by current version of installed Raw? I have uninstalled and reinstalled restarted computer etc and no joy..I have downloaded Adobe Extension manager and it does not help...
    It was working perfectly prior to reinstalling. Can anyone guide me on what I need to do

    After downloading CS5 I ran into multiple permissions errors, this is no exception.
    The following folder needs Read & Write access:
    Macintosh HD:Users:(Your User Name):Library:Application Support:Adobe:Adobe Illustrator CS5
    You can change this access by selecting "Get Info" on this folder, then adjust the Sharing & Permissions options so everyone can Read & Write.
    NOTE: This addresses the startup profiles only; crashing on quit is a separate issue.
    When you open up Illustrator this time and try to create a new document, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder that couldn't be added before.

  • Where to install Thunderbird on Mac OSX for multiple users.

    Hello,
    I would like to install the email program Mozilla Thunderbird on my Mac OSX (10.4.6) computer which is set up with several different user accounts. I am not sure where to install it so that everyone may be able to use it. I would like to install it once so that everyone may use it rather than installing it multiple times (once for each user).
    As you might already know, in Mac OSX when you install a program in the main applications folder, it is available for everyone who uses the computer (available to all accounts). However, the trouble is, that although the actual Thunderbird program is available to all users the profile is not. The profile obviously is an important component of the Thunderbird mail program as it contains all the actual mail messages. When Thunderbird is installed, by default the profile folder is placed in the users home Library folder at:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    This location make it impossible for other users to access the profile and therefore Thunderbird will not work for the other users.
    What should I do?
    I have a couple solutions, however I would like to ask for some advice on what others do in this situation which I am sure is fairly common.
    Here are my solutions:
    1. Move the profile folder to a custom location that is accessible by all users in OSX such as the global Library folder (rather than the user's Library folder). Path of global Library folder:
    /library/
    Then let Thunderbird know it was moved to this custom location using Thunderbird's profile manager.
    2. Try to figure out a way in mac OSX that allows the profile folder at this default location:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    to be accessible by all users.
    Ownership and permissions need to be changed for the profile folder maybe?
    3. Install thunderbird multiple times - once for each user - each with their own profile. The problem with this is then there will be multiple installations of the same program and they will not be able to share the same profile folder - which is what I would like to do - if possible.
    I have a feeling that solution 1 is the more logical solution.
    PS I am using Mac OS 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
    Thanks for any advice.

    Yup, its me again Always seem to have a question for the group
    Thanks Mulder and Scott! I am sure glad I asked for your advice. I am completely new to the multi-user environment of OSX - as you can tell. (I guess I am still in OS9 thinking mode where there was only one user.)
    Scott wrote:
    "Mail can be configured to download any new email, but not remove it from the server until it is removed from the Mail application. This way, the email can be downloaded to multiple clients across multiple accounts."
    Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out Scott. Good to know. This would seem to me to be similar to IMAP in some ways. This would be a good way to work in a multi-user environment. This is good info to be aware of.
    It sounds like an interesting way to work.
    Thanks to both of you for steering me aware from the difficulty of attempting to place the profile folder outside the home directory. This sounds like it would have been more work than necessary.
    Why am I not using Apple's Mail program? Good question. I thought I would try out Thunderbird for a while - and maybe switch to Apple Mail later - just to see which one I prefer. I am a web developer and I have always liked the open source community and I thought it would be beneficial for me to become as familiar as possible with all the Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird). As well, it keeps me somewhat on the same wavelength as my PC friends, of whom many use this program too. I don't want to be too much out of touch with my mac. I might try Mail later. Thunderbird has been great so far. It has excellent spam recognition abilities and you can train it too to detect spam.
    Scott the "Family account" idea is an awesome idea. Thanks.
    I have learned a lot from this post. This gives me a few logical solutions. As Mulder points out it is best to keep users' profiles separate. This makes it simpler. Excellent advice. I could still install the Thunderbird application in the global application folder and then each user account can open this Thunderbird application from their own account and configure the mail client with their own profile. All users will be using the same Thunderbird application but with their own profiles. Yes, thats it. I tried this out and it seems to work now - didn't seem to work earlier because I didn't know what I was doing
    Another idea could be, if I really need to share one single profile, would be to follow Scotts advice and just set up a "Family account". Very simple solution. Nice idea.
    So, those are the two top solutions.
    Furthermore, I could use a mix of both strategies. For mail accounts that could be shared ([email protected]) I could create a "Family account" in OSX, as Scott detailed above, and then for mail accounts that are for each individual user ([email protected]), I could be sure they have separate profiles as detailed in Mulder's post.
    Thanks for all these helpful ideas!

  • Problem reinstalling Mac OSX 10.5

    I am having a problem with reinstalling Mac OSX 10.5 after putting in the disc to do it everything was fine it asks what language I want and then it tells me that it can not be installed on this computer. I am trying to install it on a MacBook bought last year it is an intel machine and I have always kept up on the system updates. I don't want to take it in to a store more because I am stationed in Japan and getting it to a store requires more work than it is worth. If there is any advice on what to do I would greatly appreciate it.

    You need the original grey system discs for each Mac model you own, not just to be able to reinstall the OS but also to reinstall the model's bundled retail application software (like iLife, if included) & to run the very model-specific Apple Hardware Test it contains if that is ever required.
    The retail Leopard discs do not include either of these capabilities, so unless you are desperate to get Leopard reinstalled on the MacBook, you should try hard to find the original MacBook system discs. Failing that, you can contact AppleCare & request a replacement disc set. Generally speaking, Apple will ship one to you for a nominal replacement cost if you can show that you own that model by providing its serial number or other proof of purchase information.
    Regarding installing Vista or Windows XP, both the retail Leopard & system discs include Boot Camp, which includes a convenient utility to format the hard disk for dual booting. While complicated, this can be done without that utility but you still need the hardware drivers the disc contains to get the full use of the Mac's hardware when running Windows. I have no idea if say an iMac's system discs have the Windows hardware drivers that also support a MacBook or if this too is model-specific, so on that you are on your own.
