Can't open illustrator CS6 (it crashes after beginning screen with "tryout" on it )

Im using Mac OSX 10.8.4
And i am a user paid for Creative Cloud now ( available for all software )
I used to use the trail version of illurstrator in last 30 days.
after the 30 days, it became not able to get into it.
it will start like this ( with a "tryout" on it )
and end up like this
even though I paid for Creative Cloud, it still open like this.
Besides, Photoshop CS6 and InDesing Cs6 work fine in another hand.
I have telephoned Adobe assistance sevice. they told me to delet the file in Libery, but it didn't work.
and then they told me to creat another administration user to reinstall it, it still being the same way.
is there any other way to solve it?
because its in the weekend now Adobe service is off now.

You may simply need to manually clean out the SLStore and PCD folders. Also consider a reinstall after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.

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 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,

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

After using an ExtendScript (via ESTK) Illustrator becomes corrupted and "Can't open illustration."

Hey, thanks for reading.
I'm having a strange problem with Illustrator CS5 and ESTK CS5. I'm new to writing ExtendScripts, so I haven't a clue what could be going wrong here but here's the skinny:
I've written the following code, which is very specialized to the exact document I'm working with. Using the ExtendScript Toolkit, the script goes through the following loops:
The primary problem:
For some reason, running this script causes Illustrator to become somehow corrupted. I can continue working with the document as long as it is open, but if I try to close it and re-open it, I get the infuriatingly unhelpful error dialog "Can't open illustration." With no extra details.
The same error comes up if I try to open any other .ai files. Shutting down and rebooting doesn't fix the problem. I have to completely uninstall Illustrator, then re-install it before it will work again. And even then, if I try to open the ExtendScript-corrupted file the whole Illustrator app gets corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
Oh, also Illustrator itself shows up as "(Not responding)" while the script is running, but the ESTK console clearly shows that the script is chugging along as expected.
Specifics about the script:
There are 4 "Buttons" on the document, and a library full of nearly-identical symbols in the Library (different colored backgrounds for the buttons).
The script cycles through every symbol in the library, replacing and deleting instances of the previous symbol.
Then, for each symbol, it cycles through an array (technically an object-literal) of { language-code: "string" } pairs, and saves a .png of each artboard for each word.
What follows is a pared-down version of the full script:
(I tried to add a few $.sleep(10); calls, hoping that maybe just a brief slowdown in the processes might help. It didn't.)
This script (in its original form) outputs a ton of files very, very quickly.
Script Example
var folder = Folder.selectDialog();                     // Ask for a folder choice.
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;                        // Declare an active Document reference.
var textLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName('text');   // Get the text layer, for moving it back/forward
var textFrms = aDoc.textFrames;                       // Get all text frames, for language swap
var allSymbols = aDoc.symbols;                         // Get array of all symbols in the symbol library
var allSymbolItems = aDoc.symbolItems;            // Get an array of all symbol instances in the active document
var helpTextArray =
    en: "help",
    az: "Kömək",
    cs: "Nápověda",
    da: "Hjælp",
    de: "hilfe",
    el: "Bοήθεια",
    en: "help",
    es: "ayuda",
        * There's normally 3 arrays with many more languages / translations

     folder &&                                    // and we have a selected output folder
     allSymbols.length > 0 &&             // We've got symbols
     allSymbolItems.length > 0 &&      // and we've got symbol instances "symbolItems"

Are there best practices that I'm unaware of here that could be causing this corruption?
Does anyone know what could be happening?
The only error I ever get is "Can't open illustration." There's never anything more helpful, so I have no idea what could be going wrong.
If there's any more information that would be of use to anyone I'd be happy to share. This is wasting a lot of my time and making me pull my hair out like crazy,

I have not had the time to look over your script but at a glance there are a few things I would handle differently…
Firstly returning a document to a given state… If you play with this snippet you can see that app.undo() returns to the last called app.redraw() if there is one else it undo's the whole script…
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[0];
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        var foo = doc.symbolItems.add( sym );
        foo.position = Array( i * 72, -( i * 72 ) );
        app.redraw(); // Comment this out to see…
    app.undo(); // Returns to last redaw state if any…?
Secondly your symbols… You know you can just change the symbol instance's symbol reference…? If they are almost the same particualy size then its an easy swap…?
#target illustrator
doSymbols();
function doSymbols() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var sym = doc.symbols[1]; // Next symbol in the palette
    for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        doc.symbolItems[i].symbol = sym;
        app.redraw();

You may start looking at recovery methods as the ones described in these links (although the cases dealt with differ form yours, you may do something similar):

http://daxxter.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/how-to-recover-a-corrupted-illustrator-ai-file/
It is difficult work, but it may be worth it.
Working with the code, one specific way is to create a new empty document and create some very simple artwork in a copy of it (to see where the actual contents go), then move code from the corrupt file into the empty document and see what may be recovered that way.
Hopefully, this will appear less woolly once you start on it.
Edit: almost an hour after midnight here so I have to attend to other duties. The very best of luck.

I use illustrator CS6
OSX 10.9.1

n.zeineddine,
The message means that the file has been corrupted.
Unless someone recognizes the actual error in the code, it may be difficult.
One firct thing to try is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupt file in it, if possible, and see how much artwork is rescued that simple way.
Or you could go the longer way of rebuilding, if possible.
There are some instructions to follow,

Yosemite and unable to open Illustrator CS6

Hi
Since changing to Yosemite I am unable to open Illustrator CS6 and I get the following message:
"To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."
I have followed the link and downloaded "Java for OS X 2014-001" as instructed but doing this does not change anything and I am still unable to open Illustrator.
Can anyone help me and explain to me what I need to do to be able to use Illlustrator again!
Thank you very much.

Teresa, biuzalel,
You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:
