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

  • 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 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)

  • 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.

    Refer to this:

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

  • Unable to open Illustrator CS6 in Mac OS X Yoesemite

    Hope somebody an help me here, every time I try to open Illustrator CS6 it will open almost to the point of being able to open a file but then closes and tells me there "Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly" It used o open no problem in an older version of Mac OS and I have no problems opening Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know what is going on with this? The bizarre thing is it will open if I go through Finder, Apps, Illustrator, Show package contents, Contents, Mac OS, Adobe Illustrator it opens fine, it's just a pain in the rear to go that route.

  • 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:

    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,

  • Can't open illustration. Contains an illegal operand.

    Trying to open a color palette in AI format.
    This the full error code I'm getting:
    Can't open illustration. The illustration contains an illegal
    operand. MOD HTGGDFT GREY MKOP BFC07-142 2 % 9 () XW
    E
    %AI3_EndPattern
    %AI3_BeginPattern: (MOD HTGGDFT GREY MKOP BFC07-142 2)
    (MOD HTGGDFT GREY MKOP BFC07-142 2)
    The palette has plenty of other colors, but this one in particular is causing an error.
    I looked at lots of other posts about illegal operands but none of them seemed to be similar. Definitely correct me if I'm wrong though.

    chazbot,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
