Can't Launch Illustrator CS6 on my Mac and keep getting message to install Java SE 6

When I try to launch Illustrator on my Mac, it asks me to install legacy Java SE 6 every time. Even after installing Java SE 6, it still doesn't open up and keep asking me to install legacy Java SE6. How can I get Illustrator to open without this message?

i got stuck trying to understand the nuts & bolts of this post too but the answer is here on post #7 link in creating the two folders manually or by the Terminal routines
i put screenshots on my thread of the column views Pls just tell me how - CS6 Yosemite Java
as post #9 said, i am pretty sure you just manually create the new folders in the locations, give them the suggested names, and the OS will do the rest but i did mine through Terminal...
as a final redundant note, u probably don't want to install the legacy JAVA 6 on the Apple link because it's old, go to https://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en and install the latest version of JAVA (and be sure to update it in the future in case apple/adobe software updates don't find it for u)

Mac 10.9.5 trying to launch Illustrator CS6 for first time and prompts Java even though I have Java 8 installed.

Mac 10.9.5 trying to launch Illustrator CS6 for first time and won't launch, prompts for Java 6 even though I have Java 8 installed!
Apple says Java 6 is very insecure and not to use it. I have the latest Java installed. Why won't Illustrator launch? What else can I do?

tm,
I believe you should be able to get round the issue by following this:

Can't open Illustrator CS6 on a Mac

Every time I try to open Illustrator I get The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CAN'T].
I hit okay and then get The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [>MIT] hit okay and it won't open.
Fixed disk permissions and restarted but it's still happening. I'm using OS 10.6.8.
Also tried deleting the apple.com.plist in preferences.

Hi,
This is due to the mismatch between the language in which AI CS6 is installed and the language of the OS. For eg. You couldn't run AI CS6 installed in Japanese on an English OS.
Just change the language under 'Preferences' using following link - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/change-installed-language.html and make it hsame as that of OS.Afterwards, install AI CS6 through Creative Cloud Desktop App and then launch AI. You would be able to do so then.
Please let me know if you have any concerns/doubts
Thanks and Regards,

Can't launch Illustrator CS6

My Illustrator CS6 gets as far as the menu's then crashes. I have a Mac Pro with 12GB RAM

Lets try the below solution and check if that helps :
Download Java for OS X 2013-002, from: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572
Install the Java update using the downloaded .dmg file.
When installation is complete, a Software Update dialog is displayed. The dialog asserts that you need the Java SE 6 Runtime to run Adobe Illustrator CS6.
In the Software Update dialog, click Install.
Launch Illustrator.

I am trying to download photos to mac from iphone 4s and keep getting message (unreadable files:315) which I say (OK). Then it throws me out of downloading. What can I do to get my photos downloaded to Mac?

Trying to download photos from iphone 4S to a MacBook Pro. The process keeps getting interrupted/stopped with a notice (unreadable files:315). When I click (OK), thinking it will download all other photos other than the 315, it stops downloading. I did this thru Image Capture and also Import Photos in iPhotos. Both did not work. What can I do?

Try:
- Try another cable.
- Try another USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
If still problem then it appears the photo files on the iPod are corrupted or you have a hardware problem with the iPod

Can't launch Illustrator CC on my mac after I downloaded a trial

I downloaded Illustrator CC as a trial first. It attempts to launch for a few seconds, and then it goes away. All the other CC applications run fine.

How do I fix "Error loading plugins" when I launch illustrator CS6 on my Mac?

At some point, I accidently moved one or more file folders in illustrator. When I launch the app now I get a list of the following errors.
Advanced Select.aip
Flare.aip
FlattenTransparencyUI.aip
ObjectMosaic.aip
PNGFileFormat.aip
When the app opens I am missing several necessary components on my artboard.

Easiest way is to uninstall and reinstall (possibly running the Cleaner tool in between).

Powerpivot - Can't insert formula that combines two or more different columns and keep getting message "unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application...

I am using powerpivot v2 with excel 2010.
When I go to my excel file's powerpivot and I try to insert a formula in any column, I constantly get the following message:
"unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue".

Does anybody know how to fix this ?

Mark,
I used the Fix It found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501
I would have to ask my IT support person for more specifics, but as I understand the scenario with my particular laptop: the laptop came preloaded with RTM build of 2013. We used Control Panel to uninstall Office 2013, in order to install Office
2010. I installed PowerPivot add-in and used it successfully with no issues for several months. After attempting to install another program and encountering issues with apparent traces left behind of Office 2013 uninstall, I found the link above
and used the Fix It to attempt to remove all remaining traces of Office 2013. While it did appear to find and clean-up quite a bit left behind from the Office 2013 install, I was surprised to find an error upon entering my existing installation
of PowerPivot for 2010 and attempting to type new formulas into the formula bar.
My experience to-date is that an error message stating ""Return Argument Has an Invalid Type" appears anytime I select or modify a formula in the formula bar that would cause the intellisense to appear. For example, when I first click into the formula
bar, I do not get an error...but as soon as I type the first letter, before the intellisense appears, I get the error message. Throughout the remainder of the formula as I type, just prior to any time when the intellisense drop-down will appear
again, I get the same error message again (see details below).
At one time, although I can't reproduce it now, the error message did state ".Net Framework" in the menu bar of the error pop-up window. I can't get that to appear again, as it now only says "PowerPivot for Excel". Based on this, I had attempted
to see if I could repair my .NET framework install using the following tool:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135
I learned, however, that since I am running Windows 8 which comes with .NET 4.5 built-in to the OS, this tool does not yet cover that version for repair.
While the overall end-result of my PowerPivot models appear to be just the same, having to click through "Continue" on the error message multiple times each time I enter a new formula is a huge drain on productivity.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
David

I'm trying to export a pages document to word, on a mac and keep getting "unknown error occurred" anyone else seen this

Have created a document in Pages and am trying to export to Word, when I do this I get the message "an unknown error occurred" anyone got a solution to this?

This is an old thread, so you have probably given up, but the problem is relatively easily solved. The issue is apparently bad or corrup, or missing fonts.
You can try to chase that down, but it is faster to simply try deleting half the document and exporting again. If that works, restore the deltion and delete half of that section. Keep doing this systematically until you have located the part of the document causing the problem. Often it is something pasted in from another document.
You can then export most of the document and then copy and paste the remaining bits over into Word.
This works with Keynote, too, where often the issue is just one slide.
Good luck!

Just updated to 5 on mac, but keep getting message to restart with 32-bit. Why? Never did this before!

when trying to send email on hotmail or opening certain video files, a yellow message bar appears at the top telling me that this needs to be restarted with 32-bit processing and asks to restart. Most of the time it opens the same pg, but sometimes it goes back to the first page on site. Either way, I have sent emails w/ and w/o restarting with out any problems. it is just ignoring!

Thank you for you input so far.....
I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
Have I got that correct. I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!??? or am I missing something?
Thanks
Frustrated even more now!!
