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.

  • 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:

    Some people have reported reinstalling the Apple 2014-001 Java update has helped.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't open Illustrator CS6

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't open Illustrator CS6 - it gives me an error message saying I need to install Java SE 6.
    Of course I have no idea where or how to find the downgrade to legacy Java SE 6 and eveyrtime I put the error into your search bar I get a Dreamweaver How to install Java SE 6 note.... and If I could apply that advice to my  illustrator error I would but I don't get an option to install ...
    SIGH I need this to work now-this is my lively hood

  • Can't launch Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud

    I can't launch Dreamweaver CS6 downloaded from the cloud on my sign-on with a Macbook Pro using Lion. I've talked to Adobe support twice -- first time had me set up a new admin user, which opened the program but hasn't got any of my files, next time had me uninstall, fix permissions and reinstall. Nothing has worked. Other cloud programs are working well. Any ideas?

    I believe there is a specific issues with DW's networking stuff used for Business Cartalyst and the Site Panel on some Mac installs. Perhaps you should search and ask in the DW forum...

  • Renewed my Membership but can't launch Photoshop CS6 now without it telling me to renew

    Just renewed my membership with Creative Cloud yesterday but now can't launch Photoshop CS6.  Got past the activation problem.  Now it is asking me to renew my membership.  AGAIN?

    This issue comes when the Ps app not uninstalled but manually deleted. So when you try to download, it shows you that Ps CC is already installed.
    Run the Cleaner tool to remove Ps CC :http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html . Restart your system and then try installing Ps again.

  • How can I get Illustrator CS6 to update? I get Installation error code U44M1P7

    I have a windows 8.1 machine.  When I installed Design Standard CS6, I got error messages for Illustrator CS6,  Photoshop CS6 regular and Photoshop CS6 64-bit.
    I checked for Adobe updates, and after installing all of these, I still get an error for Illustrator.
    It tells me "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed.  Error Code: U44M1P7
    From some of the other message boards, I have seen the thing to do is re-try the update.
    I have done this three times, but Illustrator still has the same problem.
    What can e done to troubleshoot? I am directed to contact customer care for this issue.
    Thank you.

  • Can't download Illustrator CS6 again?

    I've recently downloaded the free trial of Illustrator CS6 and I love it! Unfortunately, I seem to have deleted it, and when I try to download it again through Adobe Application Manager it always says that Illustrator CS6 is "up to date" even though I don't have it! Is there a reason I can't download it onto my MacBook again?

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, let AAM reinstall.

  • 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,
    Nishant Kumar Thakur

  • Where can I download Illustrator CS6 and Photoshop CS6

    I am a Creative Cloud member and I can't find an online link to get Illustrator and Photoshop CS6.
    I am on a Mac OSX 10.6.8, unfortunately I can't run CC programs all the time.
    My illustrator crashed and I need to reinstall both CS6 programs.
    Thank you,
    Cindy

    John, 
    Thanks, but I found those directions but the link on that page doesn't take you to a application listing like shown. If you are able to link to the page that is shown under the header "Download previous versions" please post that link.
    I actually went to a Adobe Chat representative, did not help.
    Okay, after another hour of trying to resolve issues I have found some links that could help someone locate older versions. Not sure if it will resolve my problem but links may help someone that couldn't seem to locate them online.
