Adobe Illustrator CS2 preview icons stopped working

Has anyone seen this? Is there a solution?
All my .ai previews are now generic icons, they used to appear as a preview of the file under Tiger...This is really annoying -- I have hundreds of these!
(they seem to appear just fine under coverflow!)
Thanks,
A

I have the same problem (but I had it with Tiger to). First (with Leopard) it was OK, but it suddenly stopped working. I haven't changed anything and can't get it working again.

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Illustrator CS2 OSX Palettes stops working

    Hi!
    I have a user running OSX 10.4.11 on an Intel-based iMac G5. She's using CS2 (yes, I know we're a bit slow to upgrade ), and she's having some problems.
    Lately, Illustrators palettes will suddenly stop working, which means she's unable to select layers, colours etc. She can draw, use the menus, select tools etc., but the palettes just won't work.
    I've tried removing the preferences, but with no luck. I would prefer not to reinstall Creative Suite, since that takes quite a while, so I'm counting on you guys to help me!
    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Close any mm Multiple Master fonts you may have open. Fonts like Kronos MM can cause this. Use fontbook to close them adn any utility like suitcase which also might have a mm font open. Symptoms of this are you change the point size, and it instantly returns to the original size.
    Also install the 12.01 CS2 update, if you need to

    Can I activate Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my new computer?

    Short answer: download a non-activation version of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Longer answer: Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 (and earlier versions) a couple of years ago. For CS2 owners, they've made available a non-activation version of CS2 at the above link.
    Download the non-activation version and use the new non-activation serial number provided there. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.

  • The download icon from my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk does not appear on my laptop.  Where can I find it? How can I download the program?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light

    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

  • Thumbnails of Adobe  Illustrator CS2 have disappeared

    I noticed that all of the Adobe Illustrator CS2 thumbnails have turned into just generic icons. This is pretty useless if you have files to browse through and you want to see the thumbnails in Spotlight or Finder. I can see thumbnails in Adobe Bridge, but I prefer using Spotlight.
    Photoshop files have their icons, as do all .jpg .tiff and others. Also old AI files that I haven't opened in AI CS2 have their thumbnails as well. But as soon as I open them in AI CS2, the thumbnails are gone forever!!
    How can I have the thumbnails back?
    What is going on? Is this is another example of "Made for Mac" that is NOT?
    Adobe people seem to think that it's an OSX issue, so please OSX wizards don't tell me now that it's an Adobe issue.
    Thanks a lot for any help,
    Artur

    No Illustrator I have ever used, and this goes back to Illustrator 88, has put anything but a generic program icon on any file.
    If you have old Illustrator files with icons on them then most likely you were using a third party software to do it and they will be lost as soon as you save it.
    This is not something Illustrator has ever done. Try using Thumbnail Pro:

    Only $10 and works pretty well.

  • Installing Adobe Illustrator CS2 on Pwerbook G4

    Hi All,
    I am new to using a Mac ,so forgive me if I mess up a bit. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.4.4 and am having a hard time trying to install Adobe Illustrator CS2. When I follow the instructions on how to install it and click on the setup.exe file, it asks for an application to open it up with.It has no idea what to use to install with. I have no idea on what to use as an application. I tried several programs found on the laptop, but none worked. is there an application or applications that I can use in order to install the program or download and install?. I have installed other programs on the laptop and they installed fine. I have run all the updates to the operating system.If you need any more information, please let me know and thanks!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Strange :s ... usually when you insert the disc, a folder from the disc opens up to show ONLY mac realted files.
    Open your disc icon and choose the folder with the Mac OS X icon. The MAC installer should be right there.
    Cheers J

  • Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working

    So...I am trying to help our Marketing Manager with some problems with Adobe InDesign CC 2014. On startup of the program, more often than not it comes up with:
    Adobe InDesign CC 2014 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.
    Windows doesn't do anything.
    We have tried refreshing the preference folders as dictated by other members. No joy. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole Adobe suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator).
    On occasion, InDesign does start up and there is a problem with text boxes. When a text box is moved or resized, copied, the text in the box disappears. It will only return if you select the text tool and hover over the box. It is not to do with snapping to grid lines, etc.
    Can someone please advise on what we should do?

    Well we are at 10.4.11 right now and 10.4.6 if I recall correctly was a nasty version. I'm running CS2 on 10.4.11 with no constant crashing. You always have the one off goofy crash every once in a while.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 and Windows 7

    We just got new computers for our office (Dell M4500) with Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I re-installed Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 on the machine and today I started it for the first since I re-installed it. Before starting Illustrator, I was going back and forth to different programs using the Windows button + Tab feature that shows the different programs you have open in an oblique way.  Then I started Illustrator and it appeared that my keyboard was not working and the Windows button + Tab feature was not working.  I changed batteries in the keyboard and it fixed the keyboard but not the Windows button + Tab feature.  However, I could still use the Alt + Tab feature to switch between programs!  So I restarted the computer and started a few programs.  Lo and behold the Windows button + Tab feature was working.  Then I started Illustrator and yes, the Windows button + Tab feature was no longer working.  It is enabled again after Illustrator is closed.
    Sorry for the long by necessary introduction.  Therefore, my question is - Has anyone else experienced this?  I have also posted this to MS forums.
    thanks,

    Please repost in the Illustrator forum. This is a forum about general design questions.
