Adobe Illustrator CC immediate shut down after opening :(

I've had this problem since I got back to win 7 sp1 pro from win 8.1 pro. (im sure it doesnt happen cuz of this)
Illustrator CC v17.1 (64bit) opens and (crashes) closes really quickly so I cant do anything.
It happens when I open the program as well as when I open a .ai or .eps file.
Sometimes I get to keep it open by clicking the edit tab but then as soon as I leave that it closes.
It's driving me mad. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times (i mean deep uninstall with Revo Uninstaller) removing even registry entries and leftover folders. It is still the same ****. My drivers are all updated and win 7 updated with the latest updates.
Pc Configuration: (however, as far as I know the issue doesn't have to do with these specs)
2.3Ghz Intel i5
6 GB RAM
Intel Graphics 3000
Help Please. I have Illustrator licenced yet I cant use it.
Even when I try to install and leave trial version still the same.

fabiocimo,
Should I try the Cleaner Tool. Will it interfere to Photoshop and Dreamweaver installations?
It has been used countless times for cleaning up single applications, with no outcry about any real issues.
As far as I know, it will only interfere with files that are common to the uninstalled application and those still installed, and those files will be restored with the reinstallation.

Mail Shuts Down After Opening

When I open my Mail, it shuts down after about 5 seconds. This has recently started happening. Could it be that some of my folders are too full? I barely have enough time to get to the folders since it shuts down so quickly.

Hi Adamguy,
Sounds like a corrupted preference file.
Open HD>Users>Your_Name>Library>Preferences folder
Now loo for the com.apple.Mail.plist and drag it to the desktop *DON'T TRASH IT*
Now open Mail application again.
Is it still crashing ?? When Mail stays open than you can trash the Mail.plist file from the desktop to the trash can.
Post back with the results ...

My mail shuts down after opening

my mail shuts down after 5 seconds

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely and then seeing if it works when you re-open it? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

Can't shut down after opening Java Control Panel

Hello,
I'm just a regular guy with Windows ME and since I installed JRE 1.4.2_02 (for Mozilla 1.5), I can't shut down my pc after opening the Java Control Panel. Javaw.exe stays in memory (Norton System Information) even after the JCP has been closed. This was not an issue with 1.4.1 beta which I used for a long time. Then I could open the JCP applet and make adjustments (minor, just whether or not I wanted it to be able to cache applets etc.) then I would close it and nothing interfered with shutdown.
I have even tried Enditall2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer's close and kill functions and neither can close or kill Javaw.exe.
I have very little running in the background and never had shutdown issues until installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and it works fine other than this issue with JCP and shutdown.
Thankyou for any advice.

Gave up, went back to 1.4.1_05, shutdown problem solved.
Disappointed but at least Java works okay and I can adjust things in JCP applet without having to do the three finger salute twice each time. No more Javaw in memory when I close the applet.
Played with Java Web Start's demos, seem to work fine, I guess. Really don't understand what JWS is for, not for us non-programmers?

Illustrator cs5 portable shuts down after I save a file

I have illustrator cs5 that worked just fine on my old pc. I am using it now on my new pc (win 7, 64 bit, 8GB Ram, i5 3.40GHz) but every time I try to save a file no matter how small, illustrator shuts down completely. Someone help please.

Does that happen with that file only or with any other files as well?
Did you try to create a new file and save it?
What error message do you get? Please attach an error screenshot.
Which operating system do you use?
Since when are you facing this issue? Did it ever work before?
What changes did you make after which you are facing this issue?

Itunes keep shutting down after opening

I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled and still after I open it and it is "Matching" with iTunes Store and boom it comes up with iTunes not responding and shuts me down. Where do I go from here? It is a Microsoft Windows box and it says "iTunes has stopped working" and then another box comes up and says iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. (It never does.....) Help..........

I'm having the same problem. I have upgraded to the latest version today, and it's still having the same problem, but worse. Now I have to close and reopen iTunes 2 or 3 times before it starts to work properly.

ICal shuts down after opening.

I have been having trouble with ICal, since I moved my computer, and reset Mobile Me.
I tried the on line solution suggestion of moving the "helveticaNeue.dfont" to the desk top. This had no affect. Can this problem be affected by loading on Entourage.
Thanks JosephT

JosephT,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Here are a some questions for you:
1. How did you move your computer?
2. Did you move iCal data from an older system to a newer system?
3. Where did you find the suggestion to remove the "helveticaNeue.dfont?" To the best of my knowledge, problems may occur in some versions of iCal if this font is missing.
One of the first things to try is "refresh" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Illustrator CS2 shuts down on open

I believe this is a legitimate Leopard question, please feel free to direct me to the right forum.
Every time I load Illustrator CS2 it shuts down (crashes) on open. I read some other forum comments on the same subject and tried to check my disk drive and verify my fonts. That seemed to fix the problem for one session then when I tried to use it again this morning, it started all over again. I've been using Illustrator on my system for years with no problem. Then, all of a sudden....
I am using a PowerMac G5 duel processor (the last generation of Motorola chips). Please of RAM and hardrive space.
HELP!!!!

According to what I'm seeing CS2 isn't officially supported under Leopard, and Adobe acknowledges that it will be buggy and they have no plans to fix those bugs.
Other links have mentioned a well-documented bug in Illustrator CS2 that was fixed with the CS3 release.
Here's a CS2 thread about the (lack of) support:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5673439&
My only suggestion here is to reinstall the software and see if that helps.

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word file, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" arted and tried to open

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" . This is REALLY annoying!!

May be it is the Resume feature.
System Preference > General > Number of recent items
Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.
