Recently updated Mac OS 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and and can not open exisiting Illustrator5 files or save new files.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and can not open existing Illustrator5 files or save new files can someone help?

I think you have a corrupted upgrade. Do you have a backup of your old system?
Here's what you should do for now:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox.

    Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox. The processor is 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 and 768 MB DDR SDRAM memory. Is it possible to go back to an earlier version that was running very well on my Mac?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I Have an email the recently went invalid and I can not open my apple settings. When I put in my password it keeps saying invalid id because the email is invalid. How do I reset to a new email or merge accts to another email without deleting all items i

    Need help merging or resetting apple id
    I have a email that recently was closed out and can not open
    This email was my apple id

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • Down loaded adobe x and now can not open recently viewed files

    I downloaded the new version of adobe but I now can not open any files. I get a white screen and windows task manager says adobe in not responding.
    Any suggestions. Thanks.

    Adobe has magically started to run again. I had the program running with just a white screen and after about a 10 minute delay it seems to be ok.
    I hope that is the end of the problem. I have no idea what the problem was, maybe it was doing an internal update , I am not a computer whiz.

  • I try to update mt Itunes to 11.1.5 and it stops and i can not open itunes store without itunes crashing.

    I can not update ITunes to 11.1.5 becasue it stops when it's almost done. Then I can not open the store and Itunes crashes and it tells me to update and ITunes closes. I'm nt very happy.

    Many thanks, that's perfect.
    Errors occurred while installing the update. If the probalem persists choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
    With that one, first try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

    I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
    Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
    You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
    (Canon Server)
    I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

    The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

  • .pptx download files default to a binary in FF 3.6.10 and I can not open in MS powerpoint 12.2.6 (MAC)

    Want to download .pptx file from FF 3.6.10 (Mac).
    I click on file to download, popup opens up.
    "you have chosen to open"
    Filename.pptx
    Which is a: binary file
    from site xxxxx
    would you like to save this file?
    If I use Safari, the file downloads and opens Powerpoint

    As posted above, Firefox versions 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and no longer run on a Mac with a PowerPC processor.<br />
    It says recommended, but it is now a requirement to have an Intel processor.

  • HT3775 I have a mac book pro and I can not open an MP4 file, this is disheartening

    I can not play an MP4 file on my laptop and I have a mac book pro 13inch which I bought in 2012

    That's weird. Do you have Quicktime or iTunes installed? Or any media program?

  • Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing.  Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

    Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

    You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
    Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
    If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.

  • I recently backed up my iPhone using iCloud and now can not get my camera roll onto my new iPhone or my Mac.  Did I lose all the photos from my old phone?

    I recently picked up a new iPhone6.  Before i handed in my old phone(iphone5), I backed it up using iCloud.
    Now I can't seem to get the photos from my old camera roll onto my new phone or my Mac.  Did I lose all
    the photos from my old phone?

    1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
    2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
    4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

  • Currently have been using my ipad 2 to pull up emails from my verizon. Last week verizon updated to my Verizon 2.0 and I can not open my emails or scroll down on my emails. Called verizon and Apple and no one could help me open or access my mobile emails

    Currently have been using my ipad 2 to open and read my emails from Verizon.
    Last week Verizon upgraded to My Verizon 2.0 and it is not compatable with the ipad 2.
    I can't open my emails or scroll down to read them. I called Verizon and Apple and no one can help me..
    Has anyone experienced this same issue on their ipad?
    Frustrated verizon ipad user.

    You can also go to   https://www22.verizon.com/ForYourHome/VZRepair/vziha/Service.aspx?ihaweb=EmailSe tup
        and it gives you a step by step on adding your account. However don't use the server port number they give you because it does not work. I followed the  same steps without changing the number and it worked.
    The problem I have is that I can not see the folders I created on my Verizon email account, when I open it on my iPad. I have called Verizon &amp; gone to the Apple store and neither had an answer except to say it was the other's problem.
    Can any one help?
