Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS4 will not load OS X 10.4.11

The install went fine but when I go to load the program I get the an error saying I am missing required plugins (artconverters.aip, pdf format.aip, & rasterize.aip). If I open the package content in finder I can clearly see these files there. I am running OS X 10.4.11
Any insight would be great. I have tried a full uninstall & reinstall, the problem is still there. I would really like to be able to run my software.

Did you do a search this was recently posted and there was an answer to this as well.

When I launch Adobe Illustrator CS4, it just does nothing.

I have a Windows XP computer, and I have a problem regarding Adobe Illustrator. When I launch Adobe Illustrator, the splash or the program doesn't pop up. I've deleted the adobe_epic folder, adobe_epic.dll, and adobe_eula.dll, I've launched it again, and it still does not work. Any solutions?

jhnri,
If renaming the preference file does not help, you may try to Move the folder or you may look at the possible cures and causes in Other options, in all cases with Illy closed.
If everything else fails, you may uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

Hey all,
When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
I would very much appreciate your help.
Screenshots:
Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.

Illustrator CS4 Not Starting (no error messages)

I'm running into a problem trying to run Illustrator CS4. It has worked int he past, but I've gone a month or two without touching it. Yesterday I installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4, which ran fine. Today I tried to start up Illustrator and I can't get the program running.
Illustrator will startup and show the 'License Agreement' screen where you can accept or decline. If I click on Accept the screen disappears and then nothing happens. If I watch the processes on the task manager, I see that Illustrator is running, but it stops about 10 seconds after the agreement screen disappears.
After searching the forums here, I've uninstalled Photoshop (thinking there was a conflict), uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator several times with no luck. Taking suggestions from the forums and thinking that it might be licensing issues, I ran clean up tools and the license recovery tools, with no luck. I even tried to move out some fonts even though it doesn't get that far. I've gone in and tried deleting what preference files I could. I even logged on as a different user to see if there was a corrupt file (no go).
At this point I have no idea what's going wrong. It simply doesn't start up and I have no errors (Are there log files that I'm missing somewhere?) Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I'm at my wits end. :/
Thanks

But are you running with full administrative privileges? AI hanging after the l.a., is a pretty clear indicator that the respective signature/ lock files for the licensing system cannot be created. Log in as administsrator and try to launch AI. If it works, then AI should work again under any user account. alsop check, whether the licensing service actually launches. May similarly be a problem with the service (FNPlicensingservice.exe) not starting and thus no license file being created.

Error 150:30 at launch of illustrator cs 4 on a mac running 10.7.

error 150:30 at launch of illustrator cs 4 on a mac running 10.7. I used cs4 on a desktop - works fine and on a laptop which is where I get the error.

CS4 & 10.7 are over a decade apart, can you install an older version of the OS if you are try to run that.

Illustrator CS4 [cant] error message when opening

Hi all,
I've just installed Illustrator CS4 twice and still get this error. i'm running it on a Dell 745 with Windows XP SP3.
When I open Illustrator I get the following error message
"adobe illustrator cs4 operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
tried to google it but can't see anyone else having the same problem.
any ideas?
Cheers

Well, it hangs on Updating font menu, according to the splash screen. Ergo, the most likely reason is, that you have a "bad" font on your system. Remove it and AI should launch. And before you ask: Yes, remove all fonts that are not system fonts. You can add them back step by step later to find out which one exactly caused the problem.

Illustrator CS4 error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"

I am working on a Mac 10.10 Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CS4 however every time I try to open Illustrator it brings up error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip". I can't click on the OK button and the only thing I can do is force quit the application. How do I solve this problem so I can work on my files again?

I have found the solution in another forum that finally seems to have worked!
The last comment I haven't yet experienced as I quit photoshop and was still able to open illustrator without problems and without the help of photoshop afterwards.
But happy for now that this works.
OK, had the same issue, found a work around, not a fix.
1     Force quit Illustrator.
2     Start Photoshop CS4
3     Start Illustrator CS4
4     when you get the alert popup, with Photoshop now open, it allows me to click on "don't show again", and click "OK"
5     quit Photoshop
Now Illustrator should continue to work so long as it is open.
Illustrator will continue to freeze on start unless you 1st open Photoshop.

Illustrator CS4 will not launch under Snow Leopard

Hi there,
I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.
1) Installed Snow Leopard 10.6
2) Installed all OS X updates (including 10.6.1)
3) Installed Quark Xpress 8.12
4) Installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard
5) Installed all Adobe updates (no updates related to Illustrator)
6) Installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)
Photoshop launches fine.
When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the splash screen appears.
Any ideas please?
Can't find anything on web really - if can't get an answer soon then I'll have to go back to Leopard .
Thanks,
Mike.

I would suspect Suitcase and perhaps a corrupt font might be causing this issue and the data base is now corrupt.
However before really pointing the finger at any software try this remove all unessential fonts then
do this
first quite Illustrator and then;
I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
then see if Illustrator is running fine. If not try a new user account if it is running fine under a new user then I would think it is font data base.

Error loading photoshopimport.aip plugin in Illustrator CS4

Hello, I'm currently using Illustrator CS4 and just updated my Mac to OS X Yosemite. After installing the new software, I've got some bugs with Illustrator. Namely, upon opening the program, I get the message "Error loading plugins". The plugin in question is "photoshopimport.aip". I'm not sure if this is related to the next issue - I'm no longer able to open .tif files in Illustrator and says that they are "an unknown format and cannot be opened". I have uninstalled and re-installed all Adobe programs, but I still get the same error messages.
Naturally, most of the work I do is in Illustrator with .tif files. Can anyone offer some help with these problems? Is this a case of the new OS X and CS4 having compatibility issues? Am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a newer version of Adobe? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

CS4 was - I don't know - 5 years ago?
In the meantime Apple has changed the development platform (you need software to develop other software) at least once. It would be kind of an effort to update all the old code. You first need to port it to the new development platform then update what doesn't work then go through all the testing etc. etc.
Kind of like the old yearbook you did back in the days in Quark XPress 3 and now that you have long switched to InDesign they ask you to dig that up to change some of the images and fix those 7 typos in the articles. I mean why do you charge that much for it, should be done in 20 minutes.

Illustrator (CS4) fails to launch in OSX 10.8

How do i get Illustrator (CS4) to launch in OSX 10.8?

And what specifically? Did it ever work? What's the problem? Do you get warnings? You need to explain better and provide more details.

Illustrator CS4 error: Object label badly formatted?

has anyone received an error in illustrator CS4: Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Object label badly formatted? I am ON a mac and cannot open files after this error, help?

We now understand the problem, and are testing a solution. Here's my current understanding of all the elements of this issue.
CAUSE: The problem occurs in an interaction between Illustrator CS4, Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, and having an Illustrator document with one or more text boxes, containing text, which is *completely* off the artboard—not even the bounding box is touching the artboard. *Additionally*, there must also be at least one text box, with text in it, which is *on* the artboard (even so much as having the bounding box partly on the artboard is sufficient, again). When these conditions are met, saving the document *may* (but does not always) cause the problem.
PROBLEM: Attempting to open an affected document in Illustrator CS4 fails, with an "object label badly formatted" error. The problem can occur with older illustrator documents opened in CS4, as well as native CS4 documents.
UNAFFECTED: Despite any speculation in this thread, this problem does not affect Photoshop, nor has it occurred with any version of Extensis Suitcase older than Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, which shipped about eight days ago.
SOLUTION: The problem should be resolved by a 13.2.1 dot release. Although things could be delayed if we find something unexpected in testing, we currently expect to have the fix available this week, probably tomorrow (Thursday).
DOCUMENT RECOVERY: Extensis can fix any Illustrator CS4 document which exhibits this problem. For now, contact Extensis tech support if you need help with recovering any such Illustrator document. Be prepared to send tech support the affected Illustrator file(s). You can use the online contact form at http://www.extensis.com/en/support/contact_prod_support.jsp, or call tech support at 1-503-274-7030.
Special thanks to the users whose suffering and detailed reports helped us figure this out!
