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.

"Error loading VectorScribe.aip"

I've looked in previous threads on plugin loading errors, but can't quite find the advice I'm looking for. I'm running VectorScribe 2.0 in Illustrator CS5.1 (Win7 64), and until recently had no difficulties. Now, on loading, Illustrator gives me an error message that says "Error loading plugin: VectorScribe.aip" and, if I proceed using the software after hitting Okay, it crashes within a few keystrokes. Moving the plugin out of the folder temporarily restores Illustrator's usual functions, but uninstalling/reinstalling/rebooting has no effect. I submitted this question to Astute Graphics to see if they had any recommendations, but would like to see if there's an Adobe recommended solution as well. Thank you!

Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift while launching Illustrator.
After that you need to set up your preferences options again.

Ai CS4 Photoshopimport.aip error since Yosemite upgrade

Since updating to OS Yosemite Ai CS4 cannot link to Photoshop files.
- Downgraded to Java for OSX 2014-001 has not helped
- Font menu preview is also another minor problem
- Worried about possibly re-installing CS4 as the installer may not work with Yosemite
Any one has any ideas for sorting this out?

It seems that there are different roundabout ways for different issues.

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.

Some people have reported success with opening Photoshop before opening AI. Some how the aips are registered there and are then available to work in AI.

Error message when starting Adobe Illustrator CC [Error loading plugins AppBarControls.aip]

Hello,
I get the following error message when I start Adobe Illustrator CC.
Error loading plugins
AppBarControls.aip
Then it gives me the option to continue by clicking okay. When it opens, the Application Bar is just blank.
I've tried uninstalling, then ran Adobe CC Cleaner, then downloaded and reinstalled.
Computer details : OS X 10.9.5, 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Help is kindly appreciated!

I also have had a difficult time with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashing upon launch. The support staff was great even though we had to work through several sessions. Below is the email explaining our final session.
This email is in regards with the issue you had been facing with Illustrator CC 2014.
While going through the installer logs, we found that there was an issue with the installation & the program installer had been denied access to several critical files & folders during installation.
This was the main reason for Illustrator crash as several critical components had not been installed properly.
We tried installing the program in a new user account & that worked.
Though the program has been installed properly now & is working in your old account, I will still strongly recommend you to get your computer user account repaired with a Windows 7 operating system diskette.
This is required so that you do not run into more trouble later while working with the Adobe Applications or even while installing other programs.
Avanish Divya was the final support person that successfully resolved my problems.

Illustrator cs3 headache! Error loading plugins. ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip

I have searched everywhere on both the net and the adobe website and there is no solution for this problem. I have tried all suggestions, aside from reformatting my hard drive and loading everything from scratch. I have Adobe CS3 Master Collection which we paid quite a bit for and I find these errors and mistakes outrageous. I have a Zune and I still hve to disable the launch using the Vista Task Manager in order to get PDF files to save using any progrm within the suite.
All of a sudden one day, I started getting the following error: Error loading plugins. ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip
I have tried using the CS3 Script clean up tool, even at level 2. I have gone through and got rid of any vestiges of folders or files that have to do with Adobe CS3 Master Collection. Nothing works. The only thing that did work that I refuse to do is to make another User Account and use that account just for Illustrator so I have to switch users back and forth to send e-mails and such.
What is the fix for this? Is Adobe paying attention?
Any words of wisdom? I have read that even after paying the $39.95 for help from Adobe, they still dont have a solution. Is t his a ploy to make some money off of fees during this economy?

Okay all, here is what I have tried; re-installed printer drivers,nothing, then:
I went to C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Illustrator CS3 Settings on Win Vista.
Found the following folders: Brushes, Composite Fonts, Graphics Styles, Kinsoku, MojiKumi, New Document Profiles, Plug-ins, Swatches, Symbols, Workspaces. All folders were empty except for the New Document Profiles which had the following: Basic CMYK, Basic RGB, Mobile and Devices,
Print, Video and Film and Web, as I said these are document files which I deleted before this re-installation and nothing. Same error as above.
The three files listed in the Illustrator CS3 Settings folders are: AI Color Settings, AIMenuFaceCache and IllustratorFnt.lst. I deleted all three, IllustratorFnt.lst rebuilds immediately when I Open Illustrator CS3, however, the other two dont seems to rebuild until I receive the Microsoft Windows alert: a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the rpgoram and notify you if a solution is available. You'd think with the many times that this program has shut down automatically, someone would have a solution by now!
There is no AdobeFnt.lst file as specified by Mylenium.
corrupt preference folder, the whole users preference folder: I do not see an AI.Preferences folder in this area neither, and when I reopen Illustrator there is still no Preferences folder. Dont know how to get to the whole users preferences folder. I have a done Search for Preferences*.* and I only get entries for ACT! 2008 CMR which we have installed here.
corrupt Illustrator Settings folder located somewhere in the Documents and Settings No, this does not seem to do anything, If I delete the entire contents under Illustrator CS3 Settings.
a corrupt or conflicting plug in from a thrid party which is what it sounds like. Nothing in the plug-ins (Illustrator CS3 folder) and I haven't downloaded a third party. I do see the plugins that this mentioned in this error: ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip in the following C: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Plugsin\Extensions, but the system will NOT let me remove them.
a corrupt font(s) or font data base(s) or both. Removed all possible fonts that the system would let me, and still nothing.
a corrupt color or monitor profile (this once happened to me) Do not use Custom monitor nor color profies.
a conflicting haxie running a PC
an update to something on your user account Hmmm all I have done are the recommended updates to Vista
conflicting software on the mac it is usually entourage or Quicken but they usually interfere with the keyboard shortcuts. On a PC.
and on the pc world of course a virus that is affecting your user account because it has only found your password on that accounts and which you obtained via browser or e-mail. Ran a full system virus scan and nothing.
The last and very unpopular amongst the pc world is a permissions problem in the pc world they always find a work around thuis issue rather than face the fact and why Adobe may have given up at this point. Turned off the UAC account, but your right, when I tried to delete the mentioned plugins in the errror, it said i didnt have the permissions.
There can be other reasons. The reason Adobe could not find it is the problem on the pc is often denial that this is user induced it also a problem but to less a degree on the Mac.
Maintaining your system is important. I do regular scans and things.
For instance have you set your scratch to a hard drive hat has a lot of free space do you have scratch other than your start up disk? Have a huge hard disk and 4 gb of DDR3 ram.
How much RAM do you have these are less likely to be the problem since the new user account works.
If you want to get his running again try a few things and tell us what did not work and perhaps we can help with nrrowing it down.
PLEASE HELP YOU GUYS, THIS IS VERY BIZARRE, WHY WOULD ONE SEPARATE USER ACCOUNT WORK AND THE OTHER NOT. THEY BOTH PULL OFF OF THE SAME PROGRAM FILE FOLDER RIGHT?

Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message: "Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip.

Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message:
"Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip. I have tried reloading the program, updating, everything. I've checked the forums but no one seems to have a solution

I am not sure. Here is a screenshot. Many people are having this problem. I am wondering what it is and what it does exactly and can't seem to find an answer to that question.
I deleted Illustrator CS6 yesterday and reloaded the program. I am on a Mac, Maverick 10.9. The strange thing is the dates. All plugins [in the file] correspond with the Illy CS6 reload except that particular Plugin?
Can I delete the file or is it a necessary plugin?

Error loading plugins. AISaveForWeb.aip

The problem with my computer set to Adobe Illustrator CS5.
20/10/1910 after injection of regular updates adobovskih Illustrator crash when started
starts at the registration window. Since I still trial version, then all these
days to choose it and the program loaded and worked fine. After it was decided
reinstall the trial version, downloaded from the official. site, today it
delivered. Now the program opens, but when you open a message is
Error loading plugins. AISaveForWeb.aip DxfDwg.aip PNGFileFormat.aip
and takes off after the first save (Ctrl S).
Sorry for my English

First Quit Illustrator CS 5
then
C:\Users\Max\AppData\roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings trash the whole folder
then you have to find the Adobe Illustrator plist files I do not know where they are located on the Windows platform
or if they are called something different or even exist.
If that does not work and you cannot find the plist or equivalent then use the uninstaller and remove Illustrator trash the settings folder
clear out any cache files associated with CS 5, the cache files are usually located in a directory called Application support in a folder called Cache.
Also any folders associated with Illustrator CS 5 in the Application Support folder called Adobe.
Sorry I do not know where these folders are or if they are called the same thing on the windows platform.
And of course it is nowhere to be found on the web.
If you cannot find these files just trash the stuff you can after uninstalling and dumping the settings folder.
Yu can also do a search for Adobe Illustrator CS 5 on your computer after the uninstall there should be nothing related to Adobe Illustrator CS 5 left on the computer. I would also before doing any of this deactivate Illustrator CS 5.
The restart your computer.
BTW have you updated AI CS 5 and or Windows by any chance?

Illustrator CS3 Crashes after "Error Loading Plugins"

so confused.
Upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 64bit Enterprise.
Installed my CS3, and Illustrator crashes after "Error Loading Plugins".
I moved the .aip files in question from the folder to my desktop, then put them back, but 3 are still there. The other 3 resolved.
Took the 3 in question back out, then back in. no change
Left the 3 out. No "Error Loading Plugins" but still crashes with a "stopped working" non descript message.
I have been trying to search all over the net for six hours to no avail. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

with Enterprise edition you should be able to download from Microsoft a winXP32 bit virtual OS and run CS3 Ai in that mode.

Error Loading Plugins Control Panel.aip

I tried to open Illustrator for the first time on my new computer. It seems like it's going to open, then I get an error message:
Error Loading Plugins
Control Panel.aip
I have reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated window, updated adobe, restarted inbetween, etc.
I have Designer CS3 on a toshiba satellite p205d-s8804 running Vista 2gig memory AMD Turion 64x2 2GZ x86 ATI Radeon X1200 2G RAM 139G free HD space.
It seems numerous people are having this problem across the web but no one has posed an answer on how to fix it. It is insinuated that it is a registry problem.
Can and Adobe person post the solution.
PLEASE HELP

Bill, thank you very much for posting the solution to the "Error Loading Plug-ins. Control Panel.aip" problem.
I was able to find your solution here on the forum with only a minimal amount of searching, and it worked perfectly.
FWIW, I found two duplicate files in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Support Files\Required folder - one called ADMEveParser and another one called ADMPlugin. Both of them had a 1 in parentheses after the file name.
Again - many thanks for your thoughtfulness.
