Adobe Illustrator not stating because of POWER PC????

I just received my mac mini in the mail and had adobe cs6 suite installed on my computer. All the programs are fine except for Adobe Illustrator. When I go to the program the icon has a white cross on it. When you click on it it says
"You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I checked apple website and it says you need to contact vender for an update. I have been all over adobe website and can find no mention of this problem or how to address such a case.
I need help, please.

What is the system specs of your computer ?
Illustrator CS6 is only supported on Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support , so you may be having Mac 10.6.8 or newer OS but the processor still could be Power PC.
Check the system specs by :-
1) Click on the "Apple" Icon
2) Click "About Mac"
3) Click "More info" in the dialog box and check the details there

Can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS6.app" because it is not supported...

UPDATE - Ahhh haaaa! If I log in with the guest account Illustrator works fine! WTF!? Oh well, at least I have a direction to be working towards, thanks for all the suggestions and assistance Adobe Community!
That was sarcasm by the way...
UPDATE - Just installed the latest Illustrator update from Adobe - still not loading. Tried reseting the iMac's PRAM, no luck.
UPDATE - I've just reinstalled the whole CS6 Suite, and the only things that have changed are that I now have a little white no entry sign over Illustrator (it still won't load) and I also have 1.5GB of application updates to do
I don't have any direct evidence but I'm guessing this is a Mavericks incompatibility judging by the other issues people are having with Illustrator. Any suggestions are welcome!
I've been using CS6 on my iMac for the past year (3.2GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB ram). Everything running fine, no problems.
Then I get the popup from Apple saying to upgrade to Mavericks, so I did. After updating my Java version, for the next two weeks everything carried on running fine. Until just now.
I finished working on an Illustrator file, saved it and then exited, only to remember I needed to make one more small change. So I clicked on the AI icon and got this error message;
'You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.' Eh???
I tried doing a reboot thinking that maybe something had just gone wonkey and needed resetting. Still no luck. So I reinstalled Java again. Nope. Then I tried every other CS6 app and they all ran fine.
Does anyone know what could cause Illustrator CS6 to be working fine for weeks and then suddenly become an unsupported app? These things always happen with you're right up against a deadline! I NEED ILLUSTRATOR WORKING NOW! HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP!

I had the same issue and resolved it
I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
next I logged off,
then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
Next I reinstall illstrator
after that it worked for me.

I am trying adobe Photoshop and adobe illustrator because I can't decide which one to buy so I want to try both, after I downloaded Photoshop I can not see the option "free trial" for adobe Illustrator, it is because I can only free try one at the time??

Bryan,
You can download both at the same time.
But you may wish to start off with one and use it full time, then download the other later, so you get the maximum possible time with both.
If you have trouble getting the free trial on the Adobe site, you may try here or here:

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

Adobe illustrator not starting up?

Hello, adobe forum, I am an aspiring graphic designer of 16 years of age. My school has a graphic design class, and we all get a free copy of adobe illustraor c3 and photoshop c3. (all legal, of course) anyhow, my adobe illustrator c3 isn't working. I've checked my photoshop, and it works.
I've been using illustrator since august, and have had little to no hippucks whatsoever until now.
If anyone can please help?

When posting this kind of questions please state your OS and version and of course any thrid party software (plug-ins) you might use.
To fix the problem, start with deleting preferences, see the top documents here:

Did anyone see the post I made about LR 4?Just in case I will post again. I have LR4 I bought last August and just now I am trying to learn this >I have "Classroom in a Book" for LR4 lots of problems . I have a IMAC version 10.9.3. I tried different Adobe sites. They will not give me the Time of day because they say they no longer support this program. Can anyone here tell me where I can get support for this LR$ that Adobe no longer recognizes. Thank you My name is Jerry S. MY e-mail is [email protected] and phone number is 563-344-7910.

Okay I will try. First I have lost pictures in catalogs and could not find again.I have tried reinstalling LR4 and when I do and reopen LR4 the same catalog appears in the panel and filmstrip and I have no idea how to get rid of that catalog and start over at square one like it was the frist time it was opened. That would be a big help and I think I start over and avoid the same problems.

Adobe Illustrator Not Working After Windows 7 Restore

My Windows crashed recently and it restored to an earlier version. The earlier version did not have the Creative Cloud registered. So while I have all the files under the Program Files, they do not appear anywhere else. I thought of uninstalling but they are not appearing in the uninstall list. I tried to delete the folders (Adobe) but it didnt delete them all the way.
So at the moment, I can't uninstall them, delete the folders or re-install the programs. I dont know what to do? Can someone help?

Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, reinstall.

Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?

What is the best Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?
(or closest equivalent)
This may be a matter of personal preference but could anyone share their thoughts or opinions?
Thank you,

I took Inkscape for a test drive in order to compare it to Adobe Illustrator. Here are my comments I would like to share with this newsgroup. Generally and professionally, I prefer Adobe Illustrator over Inkscape because Illustrator is a more responsive program - faster during some key drawing procedures, however Inkscape should not be ignored as it is available for no cost and is very capable and sufficient as a drawing tool. I was impressed with Inkscape - except for its typesetting features, its lack of being able to use spot colours and its limited PDF export options.
I hardly touched all the Inkscape features in this review - only a few main features which seemed to work sufficiently.
This review is written for someone looking for a vector drawing program to learn and use who may not have a lot of experience with a professional drawings programs such as Adobe Illustrator and who may be looking for a no-cost alternative that is sufficiently acceptable.
Inkscape 0.46

Review by Mike
platform: mac computer on OS 10.4
March 2009
Generally, a very capable and extremely useful program - especially considering there is no cost. Under the "Help" menu, is a link to the online manual which you can download too - but I just read that parts I needed online.
I found the info I was looking for a few days ago when I first tried the program. Initially, I couldn't find a way to convert a point from a smooth point to a corner point. I found this feature in the menu bar. When you use the "edit path my node" tool (second tool in the tool box) you can make this choice (corner or smooth point) from a row of icons along the top of the document window - very obvious but I didn't see that at first. Its a good feature to know to manipulate your shapes to exactly as you would like. With this ability, you can choose to convert your point to a corner point or a smooth point - important to being able to draw any shape you like.
You can also adjust the bezier curve angle on the fly (while you draw) (see last point [1] at the end of this review) by holding down the shift key or the control key but that would depend on how much users would want to practice this program. The main thing is, that it can be done - just like in Illustrator. Illustrator users would just have to remember a few different key stroke patterns while drawing.
Doesn't seem to be much this program can't do, except for spot colour capability. Compared to Illustrator, I would be curious to know if there was anything critical you can do in Illustrator that you cannot do in Inkscape. Typesetting in Inkscape isn't so great but generally the program is sufficient.
Here are four main points:
1. Inkscape doesn't have spot colour capability
This is probably the biggest disadvantage of Inkscape for professionals. For commercial artists, printing spot colour is a critical capability which enables such things as specifying a pantone colour to a printer. However, for web pages and CMYK artwork, Inkscape is sufficient because web page art is all RGB in colour (no spot colours are used in web page art).
2. No PDF export options.
Inkscape's PDF export features seem to be limited and do not give you many options such as compression options. That is probably the second most noted limitation of Inkscape for professional artists. There may be a work around however. If you export the drawing as postscript and open it in Adobe Acrobat Professional you could set these options here instead. But then you would need to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional - but which is a very useful program - one that is indispensable for managing pdf files quickly. "Web Capture" is one of my favourite features of Adobe Acrobat Professional - can save a website or a web page to pdf for archival purposes. Merging several PDF's into a single document is also a good feature of Adobe Acrobat Professional for general purpose file management.
3. Inkscape is slower than Illustrator. Some Inkscape features are OK but others are slower.
But that might not be a fair comparison because I am testing Inkscape on my ten-year-old 350 MHz Mac G3. But then again, I am also using Illustrator on this same G3 and Illustrator is very fast. I wonder how fast Inkscape would feel on a newer mac?
Overall, these speed issues may not be relevant because for most projects and drawing tasks Inkscape is fast enough.
The slowest feature of Inkscape I find is selecting a typeface if you are setting any type in your document. It takes too long to scroll down your selection of fonts. Could be my computer - or could be Inkscape ot something to do with the fact I have many fonts - but they are all managed by fontbook. I am not sure why selecting a type face seems to take so long to scroll through the list of fonts.
4. Inkscape struggles with type setting.
Typesetting in Inkscape is slow. The critical problem with Inkscape type is that the type in the final Inkscape document (which is natively in the .svg format) will not open in Illustrator. This is not good. I am not sure why and I may possibly be doing something wrong - but I tried this in many ways and there appears to be a problem with the way Inkscape saves type - maybe its just certain fonts (non-type-1?) - not sure. Any Inkscape documents will open in Illustrator but the type will appear in a large black box - major problem. Obviously there is a font translation problem with the way Inkscape saves blocks of type. The solution is to not expect type to work between these two programs (between Inkscape and Illustrator) - but often you don't need to transfer your files between Inkscape and Illustrator and so for these projects this may not be a problem. Another solution is at the final stage of your drawing in Inkscape, convert all the type (if there is any type)to paths ("convert to path" feature) - but this procedure is irreversible - so save a copy of your document first with the fonts not converted to outline. I am sure newer versions of Inkscape will correct this problem eventually. I think there is future hope for Inkscape on this issue.
Here are some other general points I noticed about Inkscape:
The pattern tool (good for wallpaper):
For fun, I tried the pattern tool to try and design a wallpaper pattern. Its pretty cool. You can turn any objects you draw into a wallpaper pattern.
Another way to do wallpaper is to just manually copy and paste in a repeated manner offset by the length of your object until you have enough copies to make a full piece of wallpaper - but that takes longer than simply using the pattern tool.
However, the best tool for generating patterns for wallpaper is probably this tiling feature:
tiling:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles.html
I wouldn't bother reading the whole manual - just the parts you might need to reference while working on a project. The bezier curve section in the manual is good to read:
bezier curves:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Paths-Creating.html
As mentioned on that page, paths can be created using three ways:
1. the Freehand tool
2. the Bezier
3. the Calligraphy tool
My favourite is the bezier tool. It offers precise control.
The other tools are good too (and probably fun to use) but for precise drawing, I like the Bezier tool myself.
Other users might prefer the other drawing tools (Freehand tool or Calligraphy tool) for faster stroke creation and faster line effects.
Once you draw a shape and close it (click on the first endpoint when placing the last endpoint) (I always recommend closing a shape - but you don't have to) then you can colour the shape any colour you would like or with a shaded gradient or even make it transparent to any degree and overlay it on top of other shapes. Lots of control to do some pretty creative stuff.
I would also recommend organizing your drawing into layers. If...(continued on next post...)

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.

Hi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1
