Adobe cs6 illustrator won't launch

Hi I"m trying to launch my Adobe CS6 Illustrator and it won't launch. It looks like its reading the system fonts and that's where it gets too. I tried deleting preferences doesn't seem to have done anything. All other applications are working fine.

Suitcase might have a function to check your fonts. But I would suggest you update it first to the most recent version http://www.extensis.com/de/font-management/suitcase-fusion/
Illustrator doesn't behave well with font management anyway. Let alone dated versions.

CS6 Illustrator failing to launch!

Hello,
Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on this situation, so CS6 Illustrator won't launch as a message is displayed saying that I need "Java SE 6 runtime" so I went ahead and clicked download with no avail it still won't open but I don't have any new programs added to my launchpad or finder. However I am able to open Photoshop, InDesin and Bridge easily!
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated as Illustrator is the program i use the most out of all of them.
Thanks,
Sophie

Out of memory message in Illustrator. Now Illustrator won't launch. Can I reinstall?

I was working on a very detailed illustration in Illustrator and got an out of memory message. I ended up forcing Illustrator to quit. Now Illustrator won't launch. In the Adobe Creative Cloud, can I uninstall Illustrator and reinstall without having to pay extra?

Kathy,
I believe you should reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't launch after Mac update

I updated my mac yesterday to Maverick and now Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't launch. Can you tell me what files I need to delete to get it to launch. I tried reinstalling it, and that didn't help.
thanks

It's very strange. When I try to double click on the program to open it,
it's like I'm doing nothing. it sort of blinks like it's going to open but
does nothing. That's the way it is if I control click and try to open too.
I did try to reboot. Is there something I could delete in the Library
file or something?
thanks

Illustrator won't launch

I updated Updater and Illustrator and now it won't launch. I am using OSX 10.8.2 and Illustrator CS6.

What happens when you try to launch Ai CS6? Do you get any error message? Error screenshot would help.

Adobe 9 standard won't launch

I have Adobe 9 standard (9.4). I have been using it for several years. Suddenly, it won't launch. Attempting to launch it results in several error messages: "missing file C:\dell\N878J"", Missing "Acrodist.exe"' and Adobe XMP.dll is missing.
Since this program was pre-installed, I do not have recource to the installation disk. I was going to install a trial verson of Acrobat Pro XI but i cannot uninstall the older Acrobat 9--which is required, according to the Acrobat XI installer.
I tried Acrofix. It returned a 07 error code.
Can you tell me where to get copies of the missing files? or how to either reinstall or remove the older Acrobat 9.4--there is no installer or uninstaller in the Acrobat 9 file.
Thanks.

I recommend the Acrobat forums. CreatePDF is something quite different. You should also contact the PC supplier for your install disk, it's their job to provide it to you. Good luck!

Adobe CS6 installer won't download onto my Mac!

I am trying to download Adobe CS6 Creative Suite Standard onto my new MacBook Pro and the installer won't download. It starts downloading and then suddenly stops and won't start again. I'm very frustrated, can anyone help?!

use a different browser if you have trouble with the links below,

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.
or dl directly from prodesigntools.com:
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS6 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Adobe Reader 9 Won't Launch

I installed Adobe Reader 9 and it won't open. Running XP Pro. Tried to open pdfs through IE9 and Google Chrome. Didn't work. Reader just won't launch. Does anyone have any solution(s)??

H20 - I solved my problem.
I can't say what exactly was the cause, because later this PM - I did everything I could think of - system restore, a FULL Virus Scan, I used Malwarebytes - nothing solved it.
Until I used Norton Power Eraser - it's advertised to find things that average virus scans can't - and in this case, I beleive it was a corrupt boot record on my machine? Anyway - I ran it, the whole thing took another 30 minutes or less - and my Acrobat is now back in business. A frustrating journey - but a statisfying end.
I am NOT endorsing this my any means - your experience may be different. I take no responsibility on what else could be affected by its use. But I would not be using the fourum properly if I didn't pass along my experience. Check out the rating on the page BEFORE you decide to use. Some other posters could have an opinion as well.
Here is a link - Good luck!

Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago. Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe. Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe. Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

I just downloaded the Adobe CS6 Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign trials--and now all my Pages documents are gobbledygook.

On my MacBook Pro (2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running Mac OS X, 10.7.3), after downloading the Adobe CS6 apps, my Pages documents show up as completely random (at least it seems that way to me) characters.
For example, Somebody HELP me! is rendered as Uqo gdqf { "J GNR" o g#
Is anyone else experiencing a problem such as this. And more importantly, does anyone have an idea how to STOP experiencing a problem such as this?

Seems the CS6 installation has knocked off some of your fonts or replaced them.
Good old Adobe, another whole cycle of bugs!

I have Adobe Download Assistant. CS6 illustrator won't download.

I'm trying to download Illustrator, but it will not download. I've tried this for three days now. Please help.

Do you receive a particular error message? Which operating system are you using? What are you trying to download?

CS6 Illustrator freezes at launch, stuck at reading fonts

my Illustrator CS6 stopped opening a couple of days ago:
launch screen states "Initializing"
then "Reading Fonts...Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold"
then STUCK
I then Force Quit the application.
I have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.3
I've tried:
1) FontNuke
2) Deleting Preference file
3) Uninstalling CS6, using Adobe CC Cleaner Tool, reinstalling CS6
None of the above worked. So far I've only noticed this problem with Illustrator (not Photoshop, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, etc)
Any help is appreciated!

Thank you thank you!
Your Illustrator hints website saved the day!
I spent a long time moving my fonts around, which included accidentally moving the system library fonts out of their location and crashing my OS - I was able to restore them through target disc mode, my bad!)
Then I revisited your site and followed your instructions on the Move the Folder page Illustrator hints - I moved all of the contents within "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings" folder into a subfolder that I created =
Illy was able to launch!
Do you recommend seeking out the corrupt file by returning the files one-by-one back to their original location?

Photoshop CS6 Installer Won't Launch on Mac OS 10.8.2

I've downloaded the Photoshop CS6 disk image but when I open it and then double-click on the installer to launch that, there is no response.
I've tried the suggestions in this help document but have had problems with that as well:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/exit-code-15-installing-ccm.html
The first suggestion in that help doc is no problem -- restarting and running permissions and disk repair. But that doesn't solve my issue.
Trying the second suggestion, I run into a response different from what is described in the help document.
After I open Terminal and enter "sh " I then get a prompt which reads "sh-3.2$ " (Parenthesis marks here are to indicate what I'm typing or the computer's response; I'm not typing parenthesis marks themselves.)
If I drag Clean Entries.sh onto the terminal window, then the entry is NOT as described in the help document with the path DIRECTLY after "sh ". On my computer it reads: "sh-3.2$ /Users/PFD/Desktop/plist/Clean\ Entries.sh " and if I hit return I get this response in the terminal window:
mkdir: /Users/PFD/Desktop/temp: File exists
mkdir: /Users/PFD/Desktop/temp/LaunchAgents: File exists

I have Photoshop CS4 already installed and running fine. I moved to a new computer (Macbook Air, now running OS 10.8.2) a month ago via a Time Machine backup; I found at that time that caused problems for re-registering PS CS4. I had to do an uninstall and a clean re-install to get it to allow me to register properly.
I bought an upgrade to PS CS6 a month ago and haven't had time to try installing it until now.
Now I'm trying to install but there is no response from the installer, as noted above.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Paul D.

PFDuke it looks like you maybe guessing that you have Exit Code 15 based off the fact that the installer did not launch. I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine the exact error. You can find details on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.
